Open Today Sales: 9 AM-9 PM
Used Sierra and Silverado, and used F-150, Ram 1500, Tacoma and Tundra alongside them. We take trades from every brand, and almost everything on the lot is certified through a program that is not limited to GM vehicles. So a used F-150 here can be inspected, recall cleared and warranty backed the same way a used Sierra is.
People assume a Buick GMC dealership sells used Sierras and not much else. In practice most of what arrives here on trade wears somebody else's badge, because that is what people in this part of Indiana are driving when they come in.
The part that is genuinely unusual is what happens to those trucks afterwards. Most franchise dealerships can only certify their own brand: a Ford store certifies Fords, and anything else on the lot gets sold as ordinary used stock with no inspection standard behind it. We certify through CarBravo, which is General Motors' certified program and which is not limited to GM vehicles. A used F-150 taken in on trade here can go through the same inspection and carry the same coverage as a used Sierra.
Multi-point inspection, every open safety recall completed before the truck is listed, a limited warranty, and a 10 day or 500 mile exchange if it turns out to be wrong. What certified covers →
The standard tier covers trucks up to 10 model years and 100,000 miles. A second tier reaches 15 years and 150,000, which is well past where most certified programs stop and is why an older work truck here can still carry coverage.
Sierra and Silverado, F-150 and Ranger, Ram 1500, Tacoma and Tundra, Frontier, Titan, Ridgeline, Gladiator. What we have depends on what came in last week, so call before you drive over.
Free, on everything we sell, whether it is certified or not. You should not have to ask for a history report or pay for one, and if a seller is reluctant to hand one over that tells you something. One-owner vehicles →
Past repossession, bankruptcy, thin file or no credit history. Work trucks are frequently bought by people whose credit has taken a knock, and that is a conversation we have every day. Credit financing →
Half-ton, heavy duty or midsize is usually the first decision, and getting it wrong is expensive in both directions.
The default for most people. Tows a boat or a mid-size trailer, hauls what a weekend needs, and lives comfortably as a daily driver. If you are towing under about eight thousand pounds this is usually the right answer.
Browse used trucks →For equipment, gooseneck trailers and the work a half-ton is not rated for. Plenty of these around the steel corridor and the trades. They cost more to run, so buy one because you need it rather than because it looks capable.
New Sierra HD →Easier to park, cheaper to run, and enough truck for most homeowners. Worth considering seriously if the trailer only comes out a few times a year.
Browse used trucks →This is where the second certification tier matters. An older truck with real miles on it 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 →Worth knowing whether you buy from us or not.
Road salt is the defining fact of a Northwest Indiana vehicle. Surface rust is normal and largely cosmetic. Flaking, scaling or perforation on the frame rails and brake lines is not. Get any used truck on a lift before you buy it, anywhere.
A hitch does not mean much. Look at transmission service history, rear suspension sag and wear on the receiver. A truck that towed heavy for years is not disqualified, but it should be priced for it.
Panel gaps that do not match side to side, or a bed sitting slightly off square, usually mean something happened. Sometimes minor, sometimes not.
Accidents, title branding, odometer discrepancies, number of owners and service records. We give you the Carfax on every vehicle without being asked. Read the service history as carefully as the accident section, because a truck with no records for eighty thousand miles is its own kind of warning.
Check the VIN yourself at nhtsa.gov, on any truck from any seller. On a certified vehicle here the recalls have already been completed before listing, but you should never take that on trust from anybody.
