Used cars and trucks are very sought-after year-round in the Dubuque area and Runde Auto Group has been providing the Tri-State area with quality pre-owned vehicles for more than 95 years.  For many years, people have shopped our vehicles in newspapers and other local advertisements (the Shopping News was a popular one and the Dubuque Advertiser was another popular go-to source for printed used vehicle ads back in the 1990’s and early 2000’s), but nowadays more people are taking their phones out of their pocket to search for used cars, trucks and SUV’s from Runde Auto Group.  And that’s the reason Runde’s has optimized their website (without a lot of the annoying pop-ups you see on other dealers sites) allowing people to easily complete most of the buying process before they even drive to Runde’s physical location. 

Just Two Miles Outside of Dubuque

For quite some time, Runde’s has carried the largest inventory of pre-owned automobiles in the Dubuque and surrounding areas.  Folks will travel from Bellevue, Clinton or even Davenport to check out the selection of used vehicles and our price is what usually convinces them to buy from Runde Auto Group.    We also sell a lot of new vehicles and most of those sales will usually result in a nice late model fresh trade and we’ll always welcome trade-ins as that’s how we keep such a substantially-sized used vehicle inventory on hand for customers to view and test-drive.   Our used car store that we refer to as Runde Predriven is located just 2 miles outside of Dubuque … just across the Mississippi River and then a mile up the hill on Highway 35N.  There we’ll normally keep about 600 quality used vehicles in stock.  Dubuque residents often drive up to our scenic Hazel Green location to check out our used cars.  The breakdown for our inventory at that store is normally about 150 cars, 200 SUV’s and vans, and around 250 used trucks.

Runde’s has the Best Selection of Used Cars and Trucks near Dubuque

If you’re travelling from a good distance to visit Runde’s and check out our used vehicle selections, don’t worry, you won’t be bored.  There are so many attractions to check out in Dubuque.  A good resource for finding things to do locally is the online article titled, “100 Things to do in Dubuque“.   It’s a picturesque, historical town located along the Mississippi.  You could also take a test-drive in one of Runde’s pre-owned cars to downtown Dubuque and discover what that area has to offer.  It’s been very popular with tourists for the past 25-35 years because there is always so much to do.  With the Dubuque River Museum, the Diamond Jo and the Q casinos and greyhound racing in the summer, there is never a lack of things to do in and around Dubuque.   And if you’ve never been to the area before, most over of used car sales staff are long-time Dubuque locals who know the area very well and could easily suggest something of interest for you to do during your stay.  In the same respect, our sales staff area also very well-versed at suggesting quality used cars & trucks for customer who haven’t yet made up their mind what their after.  And if you’re after a good used full-size truck like a Chevy Silverado or pre-owned Ford-F-150, they also have a lot of knowledge about towing capacities and payload specifications.  Sometimes when you’re shopping for a good used truck those technical details and specs can be tough to understand and we would never want to sell you a used pick-up truck and then have you accidentally try to tow more than the recommended limit.
