Open Today Sales: 9 AM-9 PM
Used Terrain, Acadia and Enclave, and used RAV4, CR-V, Explorer and Equinox alongside them. We take trades from every brand, almost everything on the lot is certified, and the program we certify through is not limited to GM vehicles. A used Honda here can carry the same coverage as a used Buick.
Most people arrive with a brand in mind and leave with a different one, because the thing that actually decides it is how many rows you need and what you are doing in February.
Which is convenient, because our used lot is not limited to Buick and GMC. Most of what arrives on trade wears somebody else's badge, and unlike most franchise dealerships we can certify it. A Ford store certifies Fords and sells everything else as plain used stock. We certify through CarBravo, General Motors' program, which is not restricted to GM vehicles, so a used RAV4 or CR-V here goes through the same inspection as a used Terrain.
Multi-point inspection, every open safety recall completed before listing, a limited warranty, and a 10 day or 500 mile exchange if it turns out to be wrong for you. What certified covers →
Free, on everything we sell, certified or not. You should not have to ask for a history report or pay for one. One-owner vehicles →
The standard tier covers up to 10 model years and 100,000 miles. A second reaches 15 years and 150,000, which is well past where most programs stop and is why an older family SUV here can still carry coverage.
Past repossession, bankruptcy, thin file or no credit history. A family SUV is often the vehicle somebody needs most and can afford least easily. Credit financing →
The default for most households. Enough space for two adults, two children and the weekly shop, cheap enough to run for a daily commute, and small enough to park. All-wheel drive is worth having here.
Browse used SUVs →More cargo space and a quieter ride without going to three rows. Often the sensible answer for a couple who tow a small trailer or drive long distances.
New Envision →Once there are three car seats or a regular carpool, this becomes non-negotiable. Check the third row in person: the difference between usable and technically present is large and does not show in a photograph.
New Acadia →Body-on-frame, serious towing, and a third row adults can actually sit in. You pay for it in fuel and parking, so buy one because you need the capability rather than the presence.
New Yukon →Where the extended certification tier earns its keep. An older SUV with real miles can still be inspected and warranty backed rather than sold as-is, which is not true at most lots at that price.
Under $20,000 →Including high mileage, mechanical faults and vehicles you still owe on. Or sell it outright with no purchase required.
Value your trade →Worth being clear about, because it is oversold constantly and it matters more here than in most places.
Lake effect snow comes off Michigan and lands on Porter and LaPorte counties first. All-wheel drive helps you get moving on a snow covered road. It does very little to help you stop or turn. That is tires, and a set of proper winter tires on a front wheel drive SUV will out-perform all-season tires on an all-wheel drive one in the conditions that actually cause accidents around here.
If you can have both, have both. If you are choosing, and the vehicle is otherwise right, do not rule out a front wheel drive SUV over it. Ask us what is on the tires before you decide, and we will tell you honestly what they have left.
Road salt is the defining fact of a used vehicle in this region. Surface rust is normal. Flaking or perforated subframes and corroded brake lines are not. Get any used SUV on a lift, wherever you buy it.
Actually sit in it, and put a car seat in it if that is the plan. Third rows vary enormously between models that look similar on paper.
As carefully as the accident section. An SUV with no records for eighty thousand miles is its own kind of warning, even with a clean Carfax.
Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov regardless of who is selling it. On a certified vehicle here recalls are completed before listing, but never take that on trust from anybody.

Used SUV stock moves quickly. We will tell you what is on the ground today, which ones are certified and what is on the tires.
Our online inventory shows vehicles across the Currie Motors group, not only the ones standing here. CarBravo certification applies to what is in stock on our lot, and it is the program that can certify any make rather than only its own. Call (219) 246-4505 and we will tell you what is physically here and how it is certified. Certification tiers, warranty terms and exchange conditions vary by vehicle; ask to see the coverage document before you sign.
