If you can see the Union Station clock tower from your balcony and are finally considering buying a car, you're likely seeking a top-notch car broker instead of a dealership that treats every sale the same way. Union Station is designed around transit, featuring the A Line train to the airport and a walkable selection of restaurants and breweries. As a result, many residents can go for a long time without needing a car. We established our brokerage for those moments when that need arises, whether due to a new job, a move, or the desire to have your own transportation to the mountains on weekends.

Why Union Station Residents Choose a Leading Car Broker

Union Station's newer high-rise towers and converted warehouse buildings have brought a wave of residents who chose the neighborhood specifically because they could walk to the train, to work, and to dinner without a car. New Wave Automotive hears from a good number of people here who fly often for work and rely on the A Line to the airport, plus residents who are finally ready to buy once a job change, a growing family, or wanting easier access to the mountains makes owning a car worth the parking cost. Both groups want a process that respects how little time they've spent shopping for cars before.

A lot of the newer buildings in Union Station come with paid garage parking rather than a dedicated spot included in rent, so residents weigh that added cost carefully before deciding whether a car is worth it. Game days at Coors Field add another layer, with traffic and street closures that longtime residents already plan around. We would rather make the buying process itself efficient than add to any of that. Residents who want mountain access on weekends often start with our SUV inventory at drivethewave.com/suvs.

New Wave Automotive's No Markup Broker Process

Some auto broker services build a fee into the price for locating and negotiating a vehicle. We don't. The number listed is the number you pay, whether you buy from our own inventory at drivethewave.com/used-cars-in-denver-co or ask us to track down something specific.

Every vehicle goes through a mechanical and safety inspection, and a free CARFAX report comes standard. If your work has you traveling often, getting pre-approved for financing online at drivethewave.com/finance ahead of time means less coordinating around your schedule once you're ready to look at a specific car.

Financing and Trade-In Options for Union Station Buyers and Sellers

Union Station draws a mix of tech workers, young professionals, and people relocated here for work, many of whom are financing a vehicle for the first time or building credit without a long local history. We work with all credit types through a network of lenders rather than a single in-house program, which tends to open up better terms for buyers who don't fit a standard profile yet.

If you already own a car and want its value applied elsewhere, our trade-in process at drivethewave.com/trade-in gives you a fair market number with no obligation to buy through us. For anyone who decided train access and walkability made a car unnecessary, we buy vehicles outright with same-day payout and no requirement to purchase anything in return.

Getting to Our Dealership from Union Station

Our location is at 1262 West Alameda Avenue, generally reachable from Union Station by way of Speer Boulevard. We would suggest checking our directions page at drivethewave.com/directions before you leave, since traffic around Coors Field on game days or events near the Union Station plaza can affect timing. Parking once you arrive is simple, a nice change if you're used to paying for a spot in a downtown garage.

About Union Station, CO

Union Station is anchored by the historic train station that gives the neighborhood its name, now home to the A Line connection to Denver International Airport, along with restaurants and shops inside the Great Hall. The surrounding blocks mix converted warehouses with newer high-rise towers, and a lot of that housing was built around transit access rather than car ownership.

Frequent flyers who are finally ready for their own vehicle make up a good share of our Union Station customers. Others moved here for a new job and need a car for the first time, and some just want to sell one they no longer use. Our team handles financing, trade-ins, and outright sales for all three at the same location.
