Why folks around here sell to us

Sell it to a neighbor.

We're not a national algorithm in another time zone. We're on North Main Street, and we'll still be here tomorrow.

Local & Accountable

We're a family-owned Bowling Green dealership, here since 1935 — not an out-of-state app with no one to call.

A Real Person Reviews It

Somebody on our team looks at every submission and gets back with you — normally the same business day.

No Obligation. Period.

Our offer is just that — an offer. You're never pressured to accept, and it costs you nothing to find out.

We Buy All Makes

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans — any brand. We sell nine brands and buy them all. You don't need to buy from us to sell to us.

The short, honest version

Rooted in Black Swamp country since 1935.

Thayer has been family owned and operated in Bowling Green for more than ninety years — today that's six dealerships: Chevrolet, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Nissan, and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. That's a long time to live with your reputation — so we don't play games.

We'll look at your car, make you a straight offer, and if it doesn't work for you, we'll shake hands and part as neighbors. From the courthouse clock tower downtown to the tractor pulls that made BG “Pull Town, USA,” this is home.

Questions? Fair enough.

Straight answers.

The stuff people actually ask us before they send in their car.

Not at all. We buy vehicles completely independent of any purchase. You're welcome to sell us your car, truck, or SUV without ever setting foot on our lot to browse inventory.
Our team reviews submissions during business hours and typically gets back with you the same day you submit. In some cases it may be the following business day, but never longer than that.
We ask for photos of the front, rear, both sides, front and rear interior, and the dashboard with the odometer visible. If there's any damage, include close-up photos of that too. More photos help us give you a better offer.
Yes. We handle vehicles with outstanding loans regularly. During the process, we'll work with you on the payoff and make sure everything is handled correctly. Just disclose the loan status in the form.
No. The offer you receive based on your submission is an estimated purchase offer, subject to final inspection and verification. In most cases, if everything matches what you described, the offer holds — but we reserve the right to adjust based on a physical inspection.
A member of our team reviews your submission and emails your purchase offer straight to your inbox. If you accept, we'll give you a call to set up an appointment to bring the vehicle in for a quick final inspection. There's no obligation to accept, and no pressure whatsoever.
We buy cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and most other personal-use vehicles of all makes and models — not just the brands we sell. Age and condition matter, but we'll always take a look.
Having a clear title makes the process much smoother, but we encourage you to disclose your title situation in the form. We'll discuss it with you and work through any complications.
