Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you only sell certain types of vehicles?
No — we carry a wide variety of hand-picked, high-quality used vehicles across all makes and models.
We select only vehicles that meet our strict standards for quality and condition.
Q: What does “Be the Dealer for a Day” mean?
It’s our unique way of letting you take control of your car-buying experience. You can sit in on the live auction process with us, help choose and bid on your own vehicle, and we’ll handle all the logistics — inspection, transport, and paperwork. It’s a transparent and exciting way to get the exact car you want, often at significant savings.
Q: Do you take trade-ins?
Absolutely. We’ll appraise your trade quickly and fairly — whether you’re buying something from us or just looking to sell. You’ll get a competitive offer based on live market data and actual condition, not inflated numbers that get walked back later.
Q: Can I finance my purchase through you?
Not at this time. We’re actively working on a financing solution to make it even easier for our customers to purchase their next vehicle. In the meantime, we’re happy to help you connect with your preferred lender or local credit union.
Q: Do your vehicles come with warranties?
Every vehicle we sell is eligible for a GWC Warranty Service Contract — giving you peace of mind against unexpected repair costs. These contracts cover a wide range of components and include nationwide coverage, roadside assistance, and more.
Q: Can you help me find a specific vehicle that’s not in stock?
Yes! That’s exactly what our sourcing program is for. Tell us the make, model, mileage, and budget — we’ll search dealer-only auctions and trusted sources nationwide to find it for you.
Q: Are your prices negotiable?
Our vehicles are priced honestly and transparently from the start. We use real-time market data to set fair prices, so there’s no need for back-and-forth or haggling. You’ll see exactly what the car is worth — and why.
Q: Do you offer vehicle history reports?
Yes. Every car we sell includes a free AutoCheck report, so you can review ownership history, accident records, and service details before you buy.
Q: Where are you located?
We’re at 101 Lincoln Ave SE, St. Cloud, MN 56304 on the east side of town. Stop by anytime to browse our inventory or talk with our team — we’re happy to help.
Q: Why should I buy from St. Cloud Automotive?
We’ve taken over 40 years of combined franchise dealership experience and built a better way to buy a car. You get small-town honesty with big-store resources — clean, well-priced vehicles, full transparency, and a personalized experience you won’t find anywhere else.
