Make sure the automatic transmission is easy to shift into and out of gear, too. If not, there may be a problem with a worn-out shifter cable.
Have the radiator and associated hoses, as well as the thermostat housing, checked for signs of leaks. Check for any puddles of fluid beneath the vehicle, too. Red or green is typically radiator fluid.
Remember that a ‘shimmy’, clunk or grinding sensation from the suspension could indicate a worn-out component that’s in need of attention – and that unevenly-worn tires could be evidence of an alignment issue.
You’ll also want to have the model you’re considering checked for the performance of all recall work. Bring your vehicle, or its VIN number, to the nearest GM dealership to check.
The Verdict Of The Used Chevrolet Aveo: Aveo is far from the most reliable compact car in its segment – though relatively inexpensive repairs, cheap operating costs and low resale values will make it an option worth considering for low-mileage drivers shopping mostly on price.
