We had a great time!



Our 25th Anniversary Open House was a big success! We enjoyed talking with everyone who came out and we appreciate the fact there was no leftover cake!

Here are just a few photos of some of the folks we had a chance to visit with. Even KFYR TV showed up! Thanks to everyone.

Come to our Open House!

We continue our 25th Anniversary Celebration tomorrow, Wednesday, March 17th, with an Open House.
Stop on out and register for prizes, have some cake, visit with our staff and check out the dealership.

It will be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make some new ones! We have come a long way in 25 years....

According to an newspaper article from December 1996, Cedric Theel recounts his last 11 years in Bismarck-Mandan - since he purchased Missouri Valley Motors in 1985:
 - Sales tripled
 - Building space nearly doubled
 - Employees grew from 27 to 63
 - Women filled 1/3 of new full-time jobs
 - Most original employees remain with the firm.

And now, in 2010 we are proud to be in a brand new, state-of-the-art building that will be our home for years to come.

Come out and celebrate with us!

Celebrating 25 years

Throughout the month of March we are celebrating 25 years of selling vehicles in the Bismarck Mandan area. We have sold many brands, and here's a photo of one you don't hear much about anymore!
(Mitsubishi is still around - just found them on the web!)

We have been busy. People are really interested in more information on all of the new leases Toyota introduced. If you would like to check out our inventory, you can visit the Cedric Theel website and search for new or used vehicles.

Our Facebook fan page has some fun photos from our scrapbook, as well. It is fun to look back and see how the dealership has evolved. It is fun to look back and see how hairstyles have evolved, too!

Keep your car clean

This is probably the worst time of year for keeping your car clean - it melts, it rains, it snows, it melts. However, it is important to wash it periodically. Sand, dirt and salt build up and can affect the finish on your vehicle over time.

In North Dakota, most people will go to an automated car wash. If you like to do-it-yourself, make sure you use lots of soap and rinse well!

The inside of your vehicle can be damaged by the same contaminants as the outside. Clean your mats - vacuum or wash down; wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth; clean windows and vacuum seats and floors.

Keeping your car clean will help preserve the interior and exterior as well as improve trade-in value.

Celebrating 25 years in Bismarck-Mandan

25 years ago we were advertising interest rates at 8.8%. Today, we are happy to announce 0% for up to 60 months on almost every Toyota model! Cedric Theel is celebrating 25 years in the Bismarck-Mandan area and Toyota just announced some great incentives to help us kick off a successful anniversary month!
You can lease a new, 2010 Corolla for only $159 a month, or how about a new, 2010 Camry for only $179 a month!

You should visit the dealership and visit with one of our salespeople to get all the details. Some of them are listed on our website, but to get all of the information you need to make a decision, you should really visit with one of our sales staff.

You can call or stop by - anyone will be happy to visit with you. Our sales hours are 8:00 am - 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday and 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Saturday. We are located at I 94's Exit 161, north of the Oasis in Bismarck. Phone us at 701.223.2190.
