Frequently Asked Questions

1.) What is the catch? 
There is NO CATCH. If you purchase a new in-stock Chevrolet at MSRP minus any rebates, you will also get to pick a pre-owned vehicle from a pool of select vehicles.

2.) If I buy a new Silverado, do I get another Silverado?
No, but you will get an additional vehicle. The pool of vehicles to choose from are pre-owned vehicles. They are available on a "while stocks last" basis. Therefore, the first people to arrive and complete their sale on the first vehicle, will be the first to pick from the pre-owned vehicle pool.

3.) What is the value and selection of vehicles that will be in the pool of select pre-owned vehicles?
All of the vehicles are pre-owned, have passed a safety inspection and are ready to drive off the lot. The value of the vehicles will vary, but you will receive a vehicle worth thousands at no cost! Vehicles will be available on the lot to view starting on Wednesday, November 23.

Not a problem. If you are there early enough $1000 will be reduced from the MSRP of the new vehicle on top of all applicable rebates and discounts. If the pool of select vehicles is gone, then this discount will no longer apply. It is while stocks last so get there early.

Winter Driving Safety Tips

Winter in the Midwest usually means guaranteed snowfall. Although fresh fallen snow is beautiful, it also leads to dangerous driving conditions. Here are some tips to keep everyone safe on the road this winter.

Get Your Vehicle Regularly Serviced

• If your vehicle needs serviced, get it done now...especially before traveling. The Knoepfler Chevrolet Service Department can check your tire pressure, cooling system, battery and charging system and ensure that your windshield wipers are working correctly with the reservoir full.

Check Road Conditions

• If you do not have to leave, stay home. Wait till the roads are cleared and cleaned before venturing out.
• If you do have to leave, check local news stations, internet traffic sites and weather sites for road conditions. Look further ahead in traffic while driving to check the actions by other drivers to give yourself more reaction time.

Be Prepared

• Keep your gas tank close to full.
• Make sure to have basic equipment in your vehicle in case you get caught in a snowstorm. Pack an ice scraper, shovel, blankets, winter clothes, boots, cell phone car charger, food and water. Have a bright piece of clothing or material you can tie to your antenna so that your vehicle is easier to spot in the snow. 
• Run your heater to stay warm, but make sure exhaust pipe is clear of snow. A blocked exhaust could cause deadly carbon dioxide poisoning.  

Drive Cautiously

• Before you leave, clear off your vehicle completely of ice and snow to avoid obstructed vision.
• Drive slowly. Remember the posted speed limited is for dry pavement.
• Be alert. Even if you have plenty of winter driving experience, the drivers around you may not.
• Leave yourself plenty of room for stopping.
• Do not use your cruise control during wet, snowy or icy road conditions.
• Be extra cautious on bridges and exit ramps.

* Each individual’s tax situation is unique; therefore, please consult your tax professional to confirm vehicle depreciation deduction and tax benefits. For more details, visit www.irs.gov. 1For vehicles that qualify as passenger automobiles under the Internal Revenue Code, there is a $11,160 per-vehicle depreciation deduction cap or $11,560 for certain SUVs, trucks, and vans placed in service during 2016. 2For vehicles that qualify as sport utility vehicles, including certain trucks and vans, under the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum amount that may be expensed is $25,000 of the total purchase price. The $25,000 expense cap contributes to the $500,000 dollar limit and $2,010,000 investment limit under Section 179. 3The tax incentives are available for depreciable tangible property that is acquired by purchase for use in the active conduct of a trade or business. Additional limitation based on purchases. For the 2016 tax year, the aggregate deduction of $500,000 under Internal Revenue Code Section 179 is most beneficial to small businesses that place in service no more than $2,010,000 of “Section 179 property” during the year. For every dollar spent on Section 179 property in excess of the overall limit of $2,010,000, the $500,000 expense-tax deduction decreases by a dollar. Certain vehicles, models, and restrictions apply. Consult your tax professional for details.
