We sell used vehicles of every brand, not just Chevrolet. These are the makes Lake County shoppers ask about most.
Silverado pickups, Equinox and Traverse crossovers, Tahoe and Suburban SUVs, Colorado trucks and Corvettes. A used Chevy also gets the full support of our Chevrolet service department and genuine GM parts.
The Sierra shares its basic engineering with the Silverado, and the Acadia, Terrain and Yukon offer a different look and feel. GMC vehicles can also qualify for CARBRAVO certification.
F-150 and Super Duty trucks, Escape and Explorer SUVs show up often in trade. Useful when you want to compare a used F-150 against a used Silverado on the same lot.
RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, Tundra and Corolla trade-ins attract buyers who prize long-term reliability. Compare a used RAV4 against an Equinox on price, mileage and equipment.
Civic, Accord, CR-V and Pilot models make practical commuters and family haulers for the drive down I-94.
Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Compass SUVs and Ram 1500 and heavy duty pickups appear regularly, a good fit if you want 4×4 capability for snow and Chain O’Lakes boat ramps.
Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, Rogue and other popular crossovers give budget shoppers plenty of choice.
Cadillac, BMW, Acura and performance models such as the Corvette, Camaro and Dodge Challenger arrive in trade from time to time. Check recent arrivals often.

GM states that, starting in June, its Chevrolet, Buick and GMC certified used programs combined under CARBRAVO, and CARBRAVO dealers can certify both GM and non-GM vehicles. Here is how the program is structured according to GM.
For vehicles up to 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles. GM states these include a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty that begins after any remaining factory warranty ends.
For vehicles 10 to 15 years old with no more than 150,000 miles. GM states these include a 30-day/1,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a sensible step up from buying an older car with no coverage at all.
Every certified vehicle, regardless of brand, goes through what GM calls a comprehensive inspection and reconditioning process before it is listed.
GM states roadside assistance is included, and our CARBRAVO page also lists a vehicle exchange window and courtesy transportation for warranty repairs. Ask us for the current fine print.
Road salt, potholes and cold starts are hard on vehicles. Whether you buy from us or anyone else, check these points.
Look at rocker panels, wheel wells, brake lines and the frame. Surface rust is normal; flaking or soft metal is not.
Uneven wear can mean pothole damage or worn suspension. Check tread depth and plan for a fresh set if winter is coming. See our tire center.
Cold mornings expose weak batteries. Ask for a battery test result, and on an EV, ask about battery health and charging history.
Test the heater, rear defrost, heated seats and remote start if equipped. You will use them from November through March.
Engage 4WD on a truck and listen for clunks. On AWD crossovers, matched tires matter for the system to work properly.
Review the vehicle history report and service records, and check for open recalls with our recall department.
Your current vehicle can lower what you finance. Value your trade online, book a free appraisal, or sell us your car even if you do not buy from us.
Our finance center works with multiple lenders and helps first-time buyers and shoppers with limited or rebuilding credit. Apply online, try terms in the payment calculator, and ask about Chevrolet protection plans if you want coverage beyond any remaining warranty.
You can compare a used Silverado against a new one, a used RAV4 against a new Equinox, or a CARBRAVO vehicle against a budget pick, all in one visit on Milwaukee Ave. Our team will pull the history report, explain certification and set up a test drive that includes the Tri-State or IL-176.
After the purchase, our service department, Chevy Express lane and body shop work on vehicles of many makes. Read what other buyers say on our reviews page.
No. Our used inventory includes many makes, such as GMC, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Jeep, Ram, Hyundai and luxury brands, along with used Chevrolets. Filter the inventory above by make or call 847-932-3001.
CARBRAVO is GM’s used-vehicle program at Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealers. GM states it now includes the former brand certified programs, with a Bravo tier for vehicles up to 10 years and under 100,000 miles and a Budget tier for vehicles 10 to 15 years old with no more than 150,000 miles. Learn more on our CARBRAVO page.
For many buyers, yes. Trucks often tow and work hard, so an inspection, reconditioning and added limited warranty coverage reduce the risk of surprise repairs. Compare the price of a certified truck against a similar non-certified one plus a protection plan.
For most buyers, a well-kept Silverado 1500 with service records is a strong pick, with a Colorado as the choice for easier parking and a Silverado 2500HD for heavy trailers. Focus on condition, maintenance history and the right engine for your towing more than the trim badge.
The Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Toyota Tacoma are popular midsize choices. Check mileage, rust, 4×4 operation and towing history, then browse our priced-under-25K page for current options.
A used Traverse, Equinox, Honda CR-V or Pilot, Toyota RAV4 or Highlander, or Hyundai Santa Fe are all worth a look, depending on whether you need two or three rows. Bring your car seats and test cargo space for strollers and sports gear.
It depends on the vehicle’s age, mileage, how long you plan to keep it and how you handle surprise repair bills. A certified vehicle already includes limited coverage, and a protection plan can extend it. Read what each plan covers and compare cost against likely repairs.
Our finance team works with multiple lenders and helps buyers with limited or rebuilding credit. Applying online lets us review options before you visit, and a larger down payment or trade-in can help.
Yes. Schedule a free appraisal or use our sell-us-your-car page to get an offer, with no obligation to buy.
New gives you full factory warranty and the latest features; used costs less up front and lets your budget stretch further. Compare a CARBRAVO vehicle against a new model with current specials to see the real difference.
