The easiest way to buy a quality used car in Traverse City.
Lakeside Motors has been a Traverse City fixture since 2004. We started as a two-car lot on Garfield Avenue and grew the old-fashioned way — by treating people right. Every car we sell is Michigan-winter-checked, undercarriage-inspected, and backed by a free history report. Stop by, grab a coffee, and take a test drive along the bay.
Every vehicle gets a Michigan winter check: battery, tires, brakes, undercarriage, and heat.
Paperwork shouldn't take all day. Most customers are in and out in under 90 minutes.
Get a real offer on your vehicle in minutes — no purchase required, offer good for 7 days.
Family-owned for 22 years. Our reputation lives here, so we protect it on every deal.
