Our used inventory also streamlines the shopping process by allowing you to compare body styles, mileage, condition, features, and expected ownership costs all in one place.

Used Cars for Everyday Transportation

Used sedans and hatchbacks can be a great match for commuters, students, young professionals, and first-time car buyers. Many offer comfortable interiors, manageable fuel consumption, easy handling, and enough trunk space for groceries, luggage, or work supplies.

Some of the models that have a strong reputation in the marketplace include the following:

• Nissan Sentra: This compact sedan can provide practical transportation for commuting, errands, and other daily activities.
• Nissan Altima: A used Altima can appeal to shoppers looking for a comfortable midsize sedan with a spacious cabin and composed road manners.
• Toyota Corolla: The Corolla has a long-standing reputation for straightforward operation, fuel efficiency, and manageable maintenance needs.
• Honda Civic: Used Civic models remain popular with drivers who value everyday reliability, responsive handling, and efficient performance.
• Toyota Camry: A used Camry can suit shoppers who want a roomy sedan with a history of durability and practical family transportation.

Used SUVs for Added Flexibility

A used SUV is the ideal choice for many Champaign drivers since they come in all shapes and sizes. They also offer a higher seating position and wider views, which enhance both safety and confidence on the road. Plus, they allow drivers to reconfigure the interior for what the day has in store, whether it demands more cargo space for running errands or maximum seating capacity for carpooling.

Shoppers also appreciate the added amenities and features that SUVs bring to the table. For instance, outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy options such as the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco, or Nissan Pathfinder. Each of these SUVs offers value when exploring the great outdoors, from 4×4 capability to rugged exteriors to smart accessories that elevate the experience even more.

There are also three-row SUVs for drivers who want the most seating capacity or cargo space available. Popular options in this category include the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Chevy Tahoe, and the Kia Telluride, just to name a few.

Finally, compact SUVs give drivers just enough passenger and storage space without sacrificing maneuverability, such as the Nissan Rogue, Chevy Trax, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4.

Used Trucks for Work and Recreation

A used truck is a great option if you need a work vehicle, a way to tackle home projects, or a capable partner for outdoor recreation. The key to finding the right fit is knowing how much towing power, off-road capability, seating capacity, and bed space you will need. Our team can review each of these things with you and offer recommendations if needed.

Some of the used trucks that are often found in our inventory include the Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tacoma, Ford F-150, and Chevy Silverado.

We Have Nissan Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Models

You will also find that we have Nissan CPO models in stock. Choosing this option gives you the value of a used vehicle with added reassurance, as it offers a middle ground between a used car and a new model.

The Nissan CPO program can be broken up into three categories: Nissan Certified, EV Certified, and Certified Select.

• Nissan Certified: These vehicles are six years old or newer with less than 80,000 miles. They offer a seven-year/100,000-mile limited warranty with one year of prepaid maintenance or the first 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. Additionally, these vehicles undergo a 167-point inspection to be eligible.
• EV Certified: To be EV certified, these vehicles need to have passed a 139-point inspection. Other than that, the same benefits and restrictions of our Nissan Certified models apply: six years old or newer with less than 80,000 miles, a seven-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, and one year of prepaid maintenance or the first 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• Certified Select: While the first two are strictly for Nissan models, Certified Select can pertain to other brands in our inventory as well. Essentially, to be eligible for this designation, the vehicle must be ten years old or newer and have fewer than 100,000 miles. It must also pass an 84-point inspection. The limited warranty lasts 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
