What Features Should I Look At When Shopping for a Pre-Owned Family Vehicle?

Know What to Look For in Your Dream Mid-Michigan Family Vehicle

When you are searching the vast pre-owned vehicle inventory available at the Thelen Auto Group in Bay City, MI, you should have a good idea of what you are looking for from your next vehicle purchase. Having an idea about elements such as body style, features, and price are all keys to finding that car/truck/SUV/minivan that meets your needs and expectations. Shopping with the Thelen Auto Group also means getting peak customer service in the Great Lakes Bay Region with our friendly and knowledgeable sales professionals guiding you through our hassle-free and personalized shopping experience. 

What Goes Into Your Dream Family Vehicle?

Body Style – When it comes to the style of vehicle you want, do you need the extra space that an SUV or crossover SUV offers? If not, does the sportiness of a sedan or a coupe sound more appealing? Knowing which style to look for also helps you narrow down the options you can choose between when viewing our online inventory page. 

Features (Safety/Comfort/Infotainment) – You want everyone in your family to enjoy every moment spent in the vehicle you purchase. This means having all the amenities that will appeal to each occupant. For example, having premium features such as a wireless smartphone charging pad might be enticing to some families, while others might just appreciate having a more basic ride so they can enjoy the pureness of their journeys. You also want to find a vehicle that has the safety features you feel you need to confidently navigate your surroundings. This can include AWD handling and various driver-assistance systems like Automatic Emergency Braking or Blind Spot Monitoring.

Price – The most important factor that will help you dictate which vehicle will meet your needs is how much the vehicle costs. While we make sure that every pre-owned vehicle is accessible for various mid-Michigan customers, you need to make sure you know what your budgeting considerations are. This will help you make that important decision on the vehicle that you become entranced with in our pre-owned inventory.
