Know What to Ask Yourself Before Shopping for a New Vehicle in Michigan

Shopping for a new Kia vehicle in mid-Michigan doesn’t have to be a difficult or confusing task when you go into the process with a strong idea of what you’re looking for. Thelen Kia in Bay City, MI, is here to help you ask the right questions to maximize the experience you have shopping with us when you choose us as your preferred Great Lakes Bay Region Kia dealership. Let us share with you our five favorite questions to make sure you ask yourself before you start your journey toward the ownership of a new Kia in 2024

Five Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Start Kia Shopping

Is It the Right Time? – 

Are you looking for a new Kia because your current vehicle needs to be replaced? Alternatively, are you just looking to find a new vehicle to enjoy? Are you able to confidently incorporate a new vehicle into your monthly budget? If the answer is yes, it might be the right time to consider starting the shopping process. 

What is Your Budget? –

If you have determined that you can fit the monthly payments of a new or new-to-you Kia into your budget, the next step is to determine how much you can afford. By establishing your budget beforehand, you can make sure you’re not overstepping your financial boundaries while still finding a quality vehicle that you and your family will love taking around the Central Michigan region. 

New or Pre-Owned? –

This is a decision that can be heavily influenced by your budgeting considerations. If you can afford either option, there are other things you should factor in. For example, choosing a new Kia offers you a fresh opportunity to enjoy every mile put on that vehicle and also allows you to consider custom ordering your dream option. Pre-owned Kia models are fantastic choices for an even more affordable option to purchase and still maintain that trusted Kia quality. 

What Body Style Are You Looking For? –

Are you in the market for a sporty sedan such as the 2024 Kia Forte? Do you need a spacious and versatile family cruiser like the 2024 Kia Seltos SUV or the all-electric 2024 Kia EV6? Depending on the style of vehicle you need, you can easily find a Kia that fits that preference. Our sales team will be happy to find you the model that perfectly matches the space and performance needs you have. 

What Features Do You Want Most? –

No modern Kia is complete without a wide array of comfort, infotainment, and safety features to make your time behind the wheel as satisfying and reliable as possible. Depending on the model and trim level you opt to purchase from us at Thelen Kia, it will come with a selection of technology that you will adore. Are you looking for a specific interior amenity or need to have a specific driver-assistance system equipped in your Kia? Our sales representatives will take the time to make sure the vehicle you purchase has those features.
