On November 3rd, 1911. William Crapo Durant and Louis Chevrolet established the Chevrolet Motor Company. William was the business brain and Louis was the heart. Louis raced cars and was an engineer. Then in 1918, General Motors bought Chevrolet and by the next year, it was the top-selling car brand in the USA. Chevrolet designed cars, like the Bel Air, Camaro, Chevelle SS, Corvette and the Impala. Chevrolet was once a big name in South Africa and was discontinued when G.M pulled out of the country in 2017.
How much is a Chevrolet in South Africa? Chevrolet cars are for sale in South Africa in a number of models, variants and trim levels. Prices start from R35,000 but it depends on the year of manufacture, mileage, service history and vehicle specifications. Though Chevrolet is discontinued in South Africa, there are plenty of used Chevrolet cars for sale and a popular choice for a first-time car buyer.
Is a Chevrolet a reliable car? Chevrolet is a good seller in the used car market. They have a reputation for quality built cars and there are no mechanical faults specific to the Chevrolet brand. Even when G.M left South Africa, the dealership network had to honour all mechanical warranties and service plans. Therefore there is a good chance you will find a quality used Chevrolet for sale well looked after and in good condition. Use common sense when you buy a second-hand Chevrolet with high mileage as mechanical wear-and-tear on the drivetrain might cost you more in the long run.
What makes Chevrolet worth the money? Chevrolet was a decent seller in the South African new car market but their cars were pricey and people preferred the better-known brands. A Chevrolet SUV is ideal for your family, it is spacious and very comfortable to drive. Not forgetting that small Chevrolet cars are light on fuel, nippy to drive and can fit in tight park spaces. Chevrolet is a low-risk vehicle. It is on the bottom of the list of hijacked and stolen vehicle brands in South Africa which is, unfortunately, something South Africans need to think about when buying a car.
Is a Chevrolet expensive to service and maintain? Chevrolet cars were not always inexpensive to service and maintain. General Motors had strict service and maintenance agreements. Only G.M approved service centres and genuine Chevrolet parts were permitted. Some customers did not listen at the risk of their vehicle warranty and service plan. So when General Motors announced they were leaving the country, Chevrolet owners became worried about their vehicle's maintenance, resale value and accident repairs. However, the GMSA dealer network supplies parts to both panel beaters and spare shops around South Africa.
