Used Car vs New 2013 Chevrolet Spark Bonney Lake Cars

Posted on October 12, 2012 by admin

Lately the price of used vehicles has been on the rise. There are multiple reasons for this such as the fact that rental agencies are holding onto their rentals longer, supply shortages and many other factors. When you’re considering purchasing a used vehicle also consider an inexpensive new 2013 Chevrolet Spark here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Bonney lake Dealership. Below are some great reasons to consider a new Spark over a used vehicle:

Interest Rates

The interest rate on a new vehicle is typically less than the rate for t he same time period for a used vehicle. This difference can add up considerably over the course of the loan.

NHTSA New Car Safety Ratings

Starting with 2011 models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has introduced tougher tests and rigorous new 5-star safety ratings that provide more information about vehicle safety and crash avoidance technologies. Because of the more stringent tests, ratings for 2011 and newer vehicles should not be compared to ratings for 1990-2010 models. This is important because a used vehicle that earned a 5-star rating from just a few years ago may no longer rank five stars under the new, tougher testing standards. This is due in part because the use of high-strength steel has grown substantially in recent years. High-strength steel improves chassis stiffness, reduces noise vibration and improves driving dynamics. An older used car may not have incorporated nearly as much high-strength steel in its construction as the new Spark. Also, few used vehicles can match Spark’s 10 air bags.

Reduced Maintenance

Whenever you purchase a used vehicle, you should expect to spend additional money for service or repairs. A new Spark will be relatively maintenance-free compared to a used vehicle for the several thousand miles. A new vehicle likely won’t need new tires, a battery, exhaust system or brakes during the first few years. In addition, features like long-life spark plugs, timing chain and filled-for life transmission (under normal driving conditions), help make Spark an economical vehicle to own and drive.

Peace of Mind

Used vehicle warranty coverage varies tremendously if indeed there is any coverage at all. If the vehicle is relatively new, there may still be some of the manufacturer’s warranty remaining. If the vehicle is older, it may be sold “as is.” New Chevrolet Spark owners enjoy the peace of mind of having a 3-year/36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and 100,000-mile powertrain warranty coverage. In addition, roadside assistance and courtesy transportation may not be offered on a used vehicle purchase.

Cutting Edge Technology

Spark’s MyLink Radio is designed to be integrated with constantly evolving, smartphone technology and is updateable. A used vehicle may not include features such as Bluetooth, a USB port or an auxiliary input jack—features that facilitate hands-free communication and smartphone integration.

2012 Dodge Charger vs 2012 Chevrolet Impala

Posted on August 10, 2012 by admin

2012 Chevrolet Impala vs Dodge Charger

Here at your Bonney Lake Chevrolet Dealer we have noticed that the Charger has been attempting to compete with the Chevy Impala. Sad to say, it has failed in its attempts. The Dodge Charger just can’t compete with the Impala on any level. The Impala has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways in which the Chevrolet Impala outperforms the Dodge Charger:

Safety: For increased safety, The Impala’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The Charger doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system. The front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Impala are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Dodge Charger has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. In order to stay visible at all times, the Impala has daytime running lights. Once again, The Charger does not offer this.

We all get into sticky situations from time to time. The New 2012 Chevy Impala offers OnStar_,which uses GPS and cellular systems to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, track down your vehicle if it’s stolen and even send emergency personnel to the scene if there is a collision. Nothing comparable to OnStar comes on the dodge Charger, meaning help may not come as fast as it would with the Impala.

Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty comes with free roadside assistance a feature not available with the Charger’s warranty. The Impala’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Charger’s. Furthermore, there are over 40% more Chevrolet dealers than Dodge dealers, which means that it’s much easier to get your Impala serviced under warranty than it is to get a Charger serviced.

Engine: The Impala’s 3.6L DOHC V6 produces 8 more horsepower than the Charger’s standard engine. At the same time, the Impala’s engine is also more efficient than the Charger’ engine.

Interior: The Impala offers optional seating for up to six passengers while the Charger can only carry a maximum of five passengers. The Impala also has more passenger volume than the Charger allowing for a more comfortable ride for everyone in the car. The Impala also offers a much more trunk space than the Charger with more than 3 cubic feet of extra storage capacity.

There is a very good reason that the Chevy Impala has outsold the dodge Charger by nearly three to one. At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Impala simply destroys the Dodge Charger and every other car in its segment. So come give the new Chevrolet Impala a test drive with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Impala’s high level of power, performance and efficiency for yourself. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we have always treated all our customers as family. Come and see why Art Gamblin Motors is a superior place to buy a vehicle, and you will understand why we are the top rated Chevrolet dealer in the state!

2012 Dodge Ram 1500 vs 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche

Posted on August 10, 2012 by admin

2012 Chevrolet Avalanche vs Dodge Ram 1500

At Art Gamblin, your Puget Sound Chevrolet dealer, Motors we recognize that the Chevy Avalanche is a segment defining vehicle that is unsurpassed in its utility, versatility and performance in its segment. To be frank, the Ram 1500 just plain can’t compete with the Avalanche in any scenario. The Avalanche has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways, in which the Chevrolet Avalanche makes the Ram 1500 look like an antique:

Safety: For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Avalanche are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ram 1500 has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. At Chevrolet we recognize how the safety features play such a large role in your choice of vehicle. The Avalanche’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The 1500 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

The Avalanche also has standard daytime running lamps that increase its visibility to other drivers. The Ram 1500 doesn’t have daytime running lights. The Avalanche also has OnStaravailable, which uses GPS and cellular systems to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, track down your vehicle if it’s stolen and even send emergency personnel to the scene if there is a collision. The Ram 1500 doesn’t offer anything comparable to OnStar. And these are just a few of the ways in which the Avalanche is superior to the Ram in safety.

Warranty: There are over 40 percent more Chevrolet dealers than there are Ram dealers—making it much easier to get service under the Avalanche’s Chevrolet warranty.

Power and Performance: The Avalanche’s Vortec 5.3L V8 engine produces 105 more horsepower Ram 1500’s standard 3.7L V6! With a minimum tow capacity that is 1,550 pounds higher than the Ram’s, it hails in comparison to the Avalanche! The Avalanche’s Vortec engine is also equipped with FlexFuel which allows it to run on emissions reducing E85 fuel. Active Fuel Management is also standard. Both the sequential fuel injection system and the Active fuel management system allow the Avalanche to achieve excellent fuel economy and efficiency. The Ram 1500 offers nothing comparable to these features. Moreover, the Avalanche has 5.5 more gallons of fuel capacity than the standard Ram 1500. This allows the Avalanche a greater maximum driving range than the 1500.

The Avalanche has an automatic transmission that offers manual control with tap-up tap-down shifting. This means that drivers get the convenience of an automatic transmission, while also have the control of a manual transmission without worrying about a clutch—giving you the best of both worlds and strengthening your driving experience! The Ram fails to offer a transmission that allows driver control of the gears. Ultimately, the Avalanche simply offers more power, performance, efficiency and utility standard than the Ram 1500.

Suspension and Handling: The front and rear suspension of the Avalanche use coil springs for a smoother ride, more responsive handling and precise control than the 1500, which uses inferior leaf springs in the rear. The Avalanche also has an available driver controlled suspension system. The 1500’s suspension doesn’t offer any kind of driver adjustable shock absorbers. For superior handling the track on the Avalanche is wider than the 1500’s. The Avalanche’s engine vibration is almost nonexistent in the cab because it has liquid-filled engine mounts. The 1500 still uses inferior conventional solid rubber engine mounts. The Avalanche offers car-like ride and handling, while the Ram has unresponsive control and an all around rough ride.

At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Avalanche simply dominates over the Ram 1500. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Avalanche with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Avalanche’s high level of power and performance for yourself. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we have always treated all our customers as family. Come and see why Art Gamblin Motors is a superior place to buy a vehicle, and you will understand why we are the top online rated Chevrolet dealer in the state!

2012 Ford F-Super Duty vs 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty

Posted on August 6, 2012 by admin

Silverado HD vs Ford F-350 Superduty

we are aware that we sell nothing less than the best heavy duty trucks on the market here at Chevrolet Sumner, hands down. Though ford continues to try and compete with Chevy, they fail time and time again. The Ford F-Super Duty vs. the Silverado HD is the perfect example. The Silverado HD has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is simply a brief sampling of some of the ways the Chevrolet Silverado HD dominates the Ford F-Super Duty:

Safety: For additional protection, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Silverado HD are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ford F-Super Duty has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. The Silverado HD’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts as to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The F-Super Duty doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system. The Chevrolet Silverado HD has Daytime Running Lights that keep it visible under all conditions. The F-Super Duty decided not to offer Daytime Running Lights. These are just a few of the superior safety features in the Silverado HD that the Super Duty fails to provide.

Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Silverado HD 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the F-Super Duty! The Silverado HD’s corrosion warranty is also one year longer than the F-Super Duty’s. Clearly Chevrolet is more confident in the quality and durability of the Silverado HD than Ford is of its F-Super Duty.

Fuel Economy and Range The Silverado HD has 10 gallons more fuel capacity than the F-Super Duty Diesel Short Bed’s standard fuel tank! The Chevrolet Silverado HD also has much higher fuel economy compared to the Ford Super Duty. The combination of a much bigger gas tank and better fuel efficiency allows the Silverado to out work the Super Duty for much longer, while the Ford requires more frequent stops to refuel.

Drivetrain: The Silverado HD has a authentic four-wheel drive system, which uses a four-wheel traction control system to direct engine power to the specific axle and wheel that has traction. This will keep your Silverado HD keep up and running—even if only one wheel has traction! The F-Super Duty doesn’t have real four-wheel drive. The Ford can effortlessly get stuck, despite having one or more wheels with traction. The Silverado HD also has a great deal more standard payload capacity than the F-Super Duty. The Crew Cab Silverado HD 3500 4×4 has a payload capacity of 4,190 pounds compared to the Ford Super Duty’s greatly reduced 3,260 pounds of payload capacity! That means the Silverado HD can get work done that the Super Duty just can’t handle.

Suspension and Handling: The Chevrolet Silverado HD’s independent front suspension is lighter than the F-Super Duty 4×4’s solid front axle. This gives the Silverado HD greater capacity to react to the road. This makes both the ride and handling of the Chevy better than the Ford. For an even smoother ride and better handling the Silverado HD’s wheelbase is longer than the F-Super Duty’s.

Brakes and Stopping For better stopping power, the F-Super Duty’s rotors hail in comparison to the Silverado HD’s standard brake rotors. The Silverado HD’s superior rotor size and other factors allow it to stop shorter and faster than the F-Super Duty.

Tires and Wheels: The Silverado HD offers tires with better handling because they have a lower profile that gives a stiffer sidewall than the F-Super Duty’s optional tires.

Interior: The Silverado HD Regular Cab has more front headroom and more front legroom than the F-Super Duty Regular Cab. The Silverado HD Extended Cab also has more front head and leg room well as more rear head and leg room than the F-Super Duty SuperCab. The Silverado HD Crew Cab has more front room than the F-Super Duty SuperCrew. Thus, the Chevy Silverado HD is the more specious and comfortable choice than the Ford Super Duty. The Silverado HD has an all welded cargo box as opposed to the Ford Super Duty’s bolted cargo box. This means that the Silverado HD has a hugely reduced chance of having rust and corrosion throughout its life than the F-Super Duty

Convenience: When the Silverado HD LTZ reverses, both rearview mirrors tilt from their positions giving the driver better rearview vision. The F-Super Duty’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust when backing up. The Silverado HD LTZ has standard automatic dimming rear and side view mirrors that automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them. The F-Super Duty’s side mirrors don’t dim.

Awards: The Silverado was chosen as one of Car and Driver’s “Top Five Trucks” for 4 years! The F-Super Duty has never been a Car and Driver “Top Five Truck” pick. Motor Trend selected the Silverado as their 2011 Truck of the Year. The F-Super Duty has never been chosen as Truck of the Year.

Here at Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Silverado HD is simply unparalleled in its territory of heavy duty trucks. So we invite you to come give the Chevrolet Silverado HD a test drive with us here in Enumclaw Washingtonand experience its massive level of power and performance for yourself. You can be sure to find a welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we have always treated all our customers as family.
