How Do I Know if a Used Car Is in Good Condition?
At Keith Pierson Toyota, we want every customer to feel confident and excited about their used vehicle purchase. That's why we recommend doing your research and asking questions to make sure you're buying the right used Toyota for you. To make sure you're buying a used vehicle in good condition, we recommend:
- Researching the value of the car using a website such as Kelley Blue Book.
- Getting a vehicle history report, which will tell you about the car's condition, service history, and prior accidents or damages.
- Asking about previous owners to learn how long they had the vehicle and how often they drove it.
- Inspecting the interior and exterior of the vehicle for dents, scratches, leaks, or rust.
- Taking the vehicle for a test drive to see firsthand how the car drives and how comfortable you feel behind the wheel.
- Making sure the vehicle has a clean title.
What Steps Are Involved in the Trade-In Process?
We know not everyone has thousands of dollars saved to pay for a used vehicle in cash or to make a large down payment on a loan. Trading in your current vehicle can go a long way toward financing a used vehicle. At Keith Pierson Toyota, we'll purchase your current vehicle for cash, and you can put the money toward your next car. It's a simple, two-step process to value your trade in just a few seconds:
- Tell us the year, make, model, and trim of your current vehicle. As you type, you'll see a dropdown menu where you can select your specific vehicle.
- Provide your name, phone number, and email address. We'll send you the estimated value of your trade-in based on various factors, including the local supply and market demand.
Once you have a trade-in offer, you can bring it directly to Keith Pierson Toyota. We're located next to the Sam's Club on Youngerman Circle in Jacksonville. Don't forget to bring your vehicle paperwork, such as the title, to the dealership. We'll make you an official trade-in offer, which you can choose to put toward your next car or take with you in cash.
Do You Offer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Toyota Vehicles?
Yes, we're proud to offer a variety of CPO Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs at our Jacksonville dealership. Every CPO Toyota on our lot has undergone a minimum 160-point quality assurance inspection. These vehicles are 6 years old or newer and have under 85,000 miles. They come with additional benefits, including:
- A 12-month or 12,000-mile limited comprehensive warranty.
- A seven-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
- Helpful 24-hour roadside assistance for seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
By purchasing a CPO Toyota vehicle, you can rest assured you're getting a high-quality, gently used vehicle. Plus, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have warranty coverage in place if the unexpected happens.
How Can I Stay Updated on New Special Offers or Discounts on Used Cars?
While they may cost thousands less than new cars, used vehicles are still a major investment for many families in northeast Florida. That's why we offer used vehicle specials and discounts on many pre-owned vehicles in our inventory. If you're searching for a used Toyota that's only a few years old, make sure to explore our current deals. Our specials change throughout the year, so check back often to find a great value on a new-to-you car.
If you know exactly what type of used car you want, such as the model, year, and equipment, you can also reach out to us to learn about the vehicles we have in stock that match your preferences. Our sales team can contact you when we get new additions to our inventory and let you know if there are any special deals to help you save even more money on our low prices.
