Why Buy a Used Car From a Dealer Instead of Privately?
Purchasing a used car is a popular option among many drivers, and for good reason - it’s a great way to save some money while still driving away in a reliable ride. Unfortunately, not all used cars (and used-car deals) are created equal. There are plenty of lemons out there, not to mention plenty of dishonest sellers who prioritize moving inventory at any cost. So how can you be sure that you’re getting a trustworthy deal when you buy a used car?
We strongly recommend going to a reputable dealer (ahem, we might know of one right here in Vernon, BC!) for your used-car-buying needs. Of course, there are many honest private sellers out there, but when it comes to securing the safest and most reliable used vehicle possible, you’re likely to drive away with a lot more confidence when you buy a used car from a dealer instead of privately.
Vernon Toyota is dedicated to creating the best used-car-buying experience in the Okanagan. Here are just a few of the ways that we’re helping drivers get behind the wheel of dependable and affordable used vehicles - no unreliable private sale required!
Let’s cut to the chase - I’m ready to browse used inventory!
We Have a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Program
Our Toyota Certified Used Vehicle Program (TCUV) provides the ultimate peace of mind. Cars that feature the TCUV stamp of approval undergo rigorous testing, and must meet our highest standards before they can even be accepted into the program. When you shop TCUV, you can count on getting the closest thing to a new car as possible - without the new car price!

We Offer Extended Warranty Options on Used Cars
A warranty package is one of the best ways to future-proof yourself against unexpected expenses and repairs, but a warranty isn’t always honoured on used vehicles - especially when you buy privately. At Vernon, we offer extended warranty options on all vehicle purchases, including used inventory.
We Carry Used Vehicles from All Makes and Models
Sure, we’re proud to be a Toyota dealership, but we also carry a wide inventory of used cars, trucks and SUVs from all makes and models to better suit the needs of our customers. So if you’re in the market for a new-to-you ride, but not necessarily committed to the Toyota name, we can help you out. Don’t see something in our current used inventory that speaks to you? We have the resources to find what you’re looking for!
