When it comes time to buy your next vehicle, there is more to the process than simply driving around to various dealerships to find the right fit. In fact, one of the first things you will need to decide is whether to focus on new or pre-owned models. 

For many, the latter option is the way to go, particularly when budget is a priority. With that decision made, you will need to find a used car dealership near Kalamazoo that has what you're looking for. The good news is that our team at LaFontaine Automotive Group can help.

We have a wide selection of pre-owned cars, including models from the industry's leading brands. Plus, you can trust that our knowledgeable and friendly team will do all they can to answer any questions you might have along the way.

Explore Our Used SUV Inventory

SUVs are the best-selling auto class in the nation, and for good reason. They offer higher ground clearance than sedans, which also translates to an elevated driving position, and their cargo space can be expanded when you need more room for things than people. They also come in various sizes, from subcompact to full-size, allowing you to find the right fit for your daily driving routine.

Some of the pre-owned SUVs in our inventory include fan favorites like the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. These two compact options tend to battle it out for the top spot in their segment year after year, and both brands are known for producing reliable vehicles that seem to never quit.

If you are looking for something bigger, you can opt for a used Chevy Suburban or a Ford Expedition. Each of these full-size SUVs offers generous space for passengers and cargo, plus impressive towing capabilities if you want to tow the family camper on the weekends and don't want to invest in a truck.

If you're more interested in off-road capabilities than towing, check out our selection of used Jeeps or Subarus. Both are popular options for outdoor enthusiasts and offer a wide range of accessories to help you personalize them to your needs. Even better, when choosing a pre-owned model, you might find one that is already equipped to your preferences, which means you can enjoy your first adventure right away.

Today's SUVs are also designed to be comfortable, whether you're in the driver's seat or the second or third row, making them ideal for running errands around Kalamazoo or taking that long-awaited road trip. Plus, many are equipped with the modern safety and connectivity features drivers are looking for, giving you peace of mind and keeping you and your passengers engaged mile after mile.

As mentioned, certain SUVs offer impressive towing capabilities and the ability to take the road less traveled. However, trucks add rugged durability to the mix, which might make you wonder if heading down that path is best. If you do, what you find might surprise you. 

For instance, today's trucks are more comfortable than ever and rival what other modern vehicles offer in terms of safety and connectivity. As a result, more drivers than ever are choosing a pre-owned truck as their everyday vehicle.

When looking at our used truck inventory, you will find that we offer compact, midsize, full-size, and even heavy-duty options, and much like our SUVs, you will find a mix of brands represented. From the best-selling full-size truck in the nation for nearly half a century, the Ford F-150, to the sophisticated styling of the GMC Sierra 1500 or the off-road-ready midsize Chevy Colorado, we've got you covered.

It is also worth noting the value of choosing a pre-owned truck over a new one. The fact is that new trucks can be expensive. By choosing a used option, you have the opportunity to find a top-tier model for less, allowing you to enjoy more perks without breaking your budget. 

Not only that, but new trucks tend to depreciate quickly, which means your used model will retain its value better. Finally, accessories come into play here as well, and the chance to find what you're looking for already onboard is a benefit that's hard to pass up.

Shop for a Used Sedan, Hatchback, or Coupe

If you're a first-time car buyer, empty nester, or young professional, or if you're looking for an efficient way to get from home to work and back home again, it's hard to deny that a pre-owned sedan, hatchback, or coupe might be the right choice.

These vehicle types are built for navigating Kalamazoo traffic and smaller spaces while still delivering an enjoyable ride. They also tend to have streamlined styling both inside and out, as well as a long list of safety and connectivity features.

Some of the more popular options you will find when exploring our inventory include the Honda Civic and Accord. Both have a long history of reliability, and the brand's focus on smart designs and thoughtful layouts can't be ignored. Plus, you will find they offer much more space than you might have imagined from the outside looking in.

In addition to those two, the Toyota Camry and Corolla, as well as the Mazda3, are strong contenders and should be on your must-see list if you're shopping for a sedan. Like the Honda models, you will find that these check many of the boxes for comfort, convenience, connectivity, and safety.

One last thing to consider is that several of the best-selling sedans and hatchbacks, including those from Honda and Toyota, offer hybrid or electric powertrain options if you're considering a transition. Our team can explore this further with you to see if the change is the right move for your driving routine.
