Choose around your commute, campus schedule and trips home

Think through a normal week before choosing a vehicle: classes, work, errands and visits home. Try the driver’s seat and controls, check visibility and bring the backpack, instrument case, sports bag or other equipment you regularly carry. If you often travel with passengers, try the rear seating with the front seats adjusted for the people who will use them.

For campus parking questions, use SIUE Parking Services for current permit and vehicle-registration information. Check that guidance when replacing a vehicle or using a different one on campus. If your commute starts off campus, our Edwardsville and Glen Carbon shopping guides offer related information for planning a Wood River visit.

New Chevrolet SUVs, trucks and electric options near SIUE

Compare the Chevrolet Trax, Trailblazer and gasoline Equinox if a two-row SUV suits your daily driving. If you need another row for passengers, include Traverse inventory and check the space left for luggage with the seats you need upright. Try the seating and cargo opening in person. Verify the individual listing and window sticker for model year, drivetrain and equipment, particularly if AWD is a requirement.

For pickup shopping, browse Silverado 1500 and midsize Colorado inventory. Compare cab space, bed access and parking fit. If you plan to tow, bring your loaded trailer weight and passenger and cargo requirements so the team can review the selected truck’s equipment and ratings.

Explore Equinox EV and Blazer EV inventory if an electric vehicle fits your plans. Confirm where you would charge regularly, charging compatibility and the costs involved before choosing one; check current access rules for any campus or public charger you expect to use. Browse all new Chevrolet vehicles for other models and configurations.

Used cars, trucks and SUVs from Chevrolet and other makes

Browse our used inventory across Chevrolet and other makes as vehicles arrive and sell. The under-$20,000 selection is one way to narrow the search; review each listing’s price details and applicable taxes and fees. Explore used SUVs or our used truck guide if those body styles fit your needs.

  • Condition and maintenance: ask about available service records, tire and brake condition and upcoming maintenance. Consider arranging an independent inspection before purchasing a used vehicle.
  • History and equipment: review the available vehicle-history report, then confirm the features on the actual vehicle. Model year or trim name alone does not tell you everything it includes.
  • Coverage: ask what written warranty, if any, applies and what any separately offered service contract covers and costs.
  • Daily use: check phone compatibility, seating, cargo access and the features you expect to use on every trip.

For eligible certified choices, use the CarBravo inventory filter and read our CarBravo guide. Confirm certification, inspection details and written coverage on the specific vehicle you choose.

Plan for ownership costs as well as the payment

Before choosing a vehicle, request an insurance quote for its VIN and estimate fuel or charging, maintenance, registration and parking costs. Leave room for repairs and other unexpected expenses when deciding what fits alongside your other living costs.

If you plan to finance, compare the out-the-door vehicle price, down payment, amount financed, APR, loan term and total payments. Include any trade value and loan payoff in the discussion, and ask for the terms in writing. Our finance center can help you prepare; the online application is available when you are ready. Financing and final terms are subject to lender approval. Ask which documents may be needed for your application.

Ask our team whether any current appreciation or other offer applies to your purchase. Confirm the eligible vehicle, required documents, dealer participation, expiration date and whether it combines with other offers before including a discount in your budget.

Chevrolet service around your campus schedule

If you are keeping your current vehicle, use our service department page and request an appointment for maintenance or repairs. Describe any symptoms and tell the team about an upcoming trip home so you can discuss the work, estimate and timing.

Check service hours and confirm appointment details before traveling from campus. If you need to leave the vehicle, ask about expected completion time and available transportation arrangements before making plans around classes or work.

Prepare for your Wood River visit

Send the stock numbers or VINs of the vehicles you want to compare and confirm availability, especially for an in-transit listing. If a parent, family member or another person is helping you shop, share the same shortlist and arrange a time that works for everyone.
