If you’re in the market for a used car, why should you start with the pre-owned Toyota models at St Cloud Toyota? Here’s a hint: if you know all the things that make a new Toyota car a great buy, you should know that those same strengths can be found in pre-owned models, too. If you need another reason, we’ll give you three good ones.

1. Reliability

If you’ve been doing a bit of comparison shopping, you might have noticed that a pre-owned Toyota RAV4 or Toyota Corolla tends to be a bit more expensive than other brands’ used cars and SUVs. The reason for this is that Toyota vehicles typically have more standard features, and also boast better reliability, than their competitors. As we’re about to see, that slightly larger up-front investment pays off.

2. Low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

The cost to buy a vehicle is never just its sticker price. There are other costs involved, and Toyota vehicles control those costs better.

• Lower maintenance means less money spent on repairs
• You’ll pay less for Toyota financing
• Better fuel economy also means saving on gas
• Great safety features atop a lower price means a lower cost to insure, too

All of this adds up to a car that’s less expensive to own and operate.

3. Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned cars give you the savings of a used car plus many benefits of a new car.

• Six years old or newer, with fewer than 85,000 miles
• Must meet or exceed the standards of a 160-point bumper-to-bumper inspection
• Each comes with a number of program benefits, including a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, one year of roadside assistance, aone year/12,000 mile comprehensive warranty, a seven year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, and other program perks your Toyota dealer will disclose
