Even though tax season officially ended on April 15, many people across Western Massachusetts are just now receiving their IRS tax refunds. If that’s you, here’s a smart way to put that refund to good use: invest it in a new or pre-owned vehicle at Central Chevrolet in West Springfield.
Whether you’re upgrading your current ride, buying your first car, or just want something more reliable, using your tax refund as a down payment can stretch your budget further than you think.
Why Your Tax Refund Still Matters — Even After Filing Season Ends
Just because filing season is over doesn’t mean your financial opportunities are. If you’ve recently received (or are still expecting) your refund, here’s how it can benefit your next vehicle purchase:
- Lower Your Monthly Payments: A larger down payment from your refund means financing a smaller amount.
- Improve Your Financing Terms: Lenders may offer better rates when you have more skin in the game.
- Get More Car for Your Budget: Your refund could be the difference between a base model and something with the features you really want.

At Central Chevrolet, your tax refund goes a long way. We carry a wide selection of new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles to suit every budget and lifestyle — and not just Chevys! Our pre-owned inventory includes a mix of makes and models, all carefully inspected and ready to hit the road.
