Wondering what the process looks like? Here's an insider's look:
Our Process - Buying a Used Vehicle at Tillema Auto
1. Check our inventory
The first step is simple. After narrowing down your needs for a vehicle and the price range you want to be in, browse through our inventory to find your perfect match. All of our vehicles are conveniently listed on the inventory page of our website, so you can browse from the comfort of your home.
2. Schedule a test drive
It's important to know exactly what you're buying and make sure it feels right for you. All of our vehicles have been tested by our competent mechanics, so you can rest assured that they're safe and ready to get you where you need to go.
But choosing the right vehicle is about much more than just safety. Your vehicle is an important companion day after day, so test driving is an essential step to help you find just the right fit.
3. Tell us about your trade in (if applicable)
Many of our buyers love to take advantage of our trade-in program. With this program, it's easy to upgrade your previous vehicle for a new one.
Trading in your vehicle rather than selling it also gives you a monetary advantage due to Michigan's trade-in sales tax credit.
4. Apply for financing (on our website)
We make it easy to apply for financing. You can do it from home on your time, which makes the buying process quicker and smoother when you get here!
Just fill out the online financing application.
5. Fill out the paperwork
When you come in to finalize your purchase and fill out the paperwork, you'll need to bring:
Your driver's license
Registration and proof of insurance, if you're transferring a license plate
Vehicle trade-in information and items, including title, release of lien (if applicable), and keys
Proof of no-fault insurance (in the state of Michigan)
Financing information (if necessary), possibly including proof of income and personal references
6. Drive your new-used vehicle down the road
And you're done! At Tillema Auto, we keep the process for buying your vehicle as simple as possible. However, if you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask. We're here for you!
We understand that a vehicle is a vital part of your life, and we strive to make it as easy as possible to get your next reliable set of wheels.
7. Don't forget to come back for regular oil changes!
Every vehicle needs regular oil changes, and we're here to make yours quick, smooth, and easy. We know that finding a mechanic you can trust is difficult - even for simple things like oil changes.
