Why Buy a Used Car From Us?

Now is a great time to purchase a pre-owned car, truck, or SUV from Thompson Sales. Why? We’ll tell you!

A Quality Used Car for Sale Is Great During High Interest Rates

There are still high interest rates for many car shoppers, even with an outstanding credit score. Higher interest rates affect your monthly payment, which may put a new vehicle out of reach for shoppers on a tight budget. Every used car for sale on our lot has several good years left in it if you maintain them properly.

All of Our Used Vehicles for Sale Are Reconditioned in Some Way

Thompson Sales has been in business for over 105 years, and that doesn’t happen by having shoddy used cars on our lot. They come from trade-ins and offer a wide range of makes and models. 

Before agreeing to a trade-in, our team thoroughly inspects each vehicle to ensure we can recondition it as a resale on our lot. We change the tires and some worn with OEM parts whenever possible. As the buyer, you get a reconditioned and well-priced used car, truck, or SUV on our lot. 

Thompson Sales has three General Motors World Class Technicians, by far the most in the area and only three out of 47 in the entire state. Joe Evans, Chris Ritter, and Jon Kratzer are our World Class Technicians, all of whom are certified experts in working on GM cars, trucks, and SUVs. There are only 2,000 GM World Class Technicians on the entire planet. 

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Are as Close to New Condition as Possible

GMC and Buick certified pre-owned vehicles for sale on our lot are all in like-new condition. Because we have a decades-long relationship with GM, any CPO GM vehicles (GMC, Buick, Chevy) you see on our lot have been reconditioned. They’re also later-model used vehicles that have some of the original factory warranty left on them.

Here are the benefits of purchasing a CPO vehicle from Thompson Sales:

• Less than 6 model years old
• Less than 75,000 miles
• Clean vehicle title
• Free vehicle history report
• Passed a 172-point inspection
• Reconditioned with OEM parts
• Factory-backed 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty
• Factory-backed 12-month, 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty
• 3-day, 150-mile exchange policy
• Roadside assistance
• Courtesy transportation
• Scheduled maintenance program

For example, we have a new 2023 GMC Acadia SLT on our lot for $47,955. Meanwhile, a certified pre-owned model is $34,445. Your actual prices between new and used may vary, depending on several factors. But you can see that a like-new CPO vehicle can offer you significant savings!

Later Model Vehicles Have a Lot of the Same Technology and Features as New Models

You can still get a quality used or certified pre-owned vehicle that has a lot of the same technology as a new vehicle. Most cars, trucks, and SUVs manufactured in 2017 and newer have connectivity, touchscreen infotainment, and safety features such as blind spot warnings and camera views. 

High Trade-In Values

Thompson Sales has some of the highest trade-in values in the area, and not just the GMC, Buick, and Cadillac trade-ins. We take quality trade-ins for any makes and models, which you can put towards your purchase. We’ll buy your vehicle even if you don’t buy one from us! You can see how much your trade-in might be worth with our Value Your Trade tool.

Convenience Because We’ll Come to You!

There are many online car shopping sites out there that will give you an estimate of your vehicle’s value. Those services will also come to your place, pay for your car with a check, and tow your vehicle away. 

Just contact us or call (417) 866-6611, and we’ll arrange to look at your vehicle at your house after getting some information from you first. We’re happy to help in any way we can!
