New vs. Gently Pre-Owned Vehicle Shopping in Mid-Michigan

New Vehicle Advantages – When you shop for a new vehicle, you know that you will be the first driver to put miles on it. This means you don’t have to worry about how a previous owner might have treated or driven the vehicle before you. You also get the opportunity to custom order a specific vehicle if that’s the direction you want to go in. New vehicles also have the latest in comfort and infotainment technology so that you and your family are treated to the best ride possible in today’s competitive vehicle market. 

Gently Pre-Owned Advantages – When you shop for a gently pre-owned vehicle from the Thelen Auto Group, you will find there is a diverse selection of options available to choose from. Pre-owned vehicles are a great choice if you are a first-time car buyer, or are looking to find a quality form of transportation while also starting to rebuild credit thanks to the lower monthly cost of owning a previously used vehicle. If you opt for a Certified Pre-Owned option from any of the brands that we sell new vehicles of, you can also trust that the vehicle has undergone extensive inspections and met criteria set by each company for mileage and quality standards.
