Learn How to Find a Great Pre-Owned Vehicle

Pick a Fantastic Family Vehicle with Help From the Thelen Auto Group

Are you looking to get you and your family into a vehicle that is dependable and fun to drive around in while also meeting all your budgetary and personal needs? The diversity of options available at the Thelen Auto Group series of dealerships in Bay City, MI allows us to help you find a dream SUV, van, truck or car that you’ll love cruising around Michigan in. However, an important thing to consider when searching for your next vehicle purchase is, what exactly your needs and preferences are. Do you need a specific style of vehicle or have a dedicated budget you can’t over? If you know what you’re looking for in your next pre-owned vehicle purchase, finding your next family cruiser will be much easier. 

What Should You Consider While Shopping for Your Next Vehicle?

Body Style & Size Requirements – How much space you and your family need for your daily tasks will help you decide which body style may meet your needs most effectively. For example, if you have a smaller family of only one or two children, you might enjoy the sportiness of a sedan or the extra functionality of a crossover SUV. If you find yourself needing plenty of passenger space to travel with family and friends around mid-Michigan, a larger SUV or minivan might be more suitable for your situation. Find yourself doing lots of towing and hauling heavy items or trailers? Consider a pre-owned pickup truck!

Budget – Knowing what you have available to spend on your next vehicle helps you and the sales representative working with you narrow down the options available. We want to make sure you are confidently incorporating your vehicle purchase seamlessly into your budget. As such, we will make sure to find an option that caters to your budget while still meeting as many of your preferences and needs as possible.

Desired Features – What are the things you want most in your next vehicle? Do you prefer having the latest in comfort and infotainment technology? Are you more concerned about the safety features that your next vehicle has? Before you visit our mid-Michigan series of dealerships to start shopping, make a list of what amenities and safety features are most important to you. This will ensure that we are finding you the type of vehicle that you’ll love to drive most.
