JT Auto Group review

Today I purchased a beautiful 2014 Toyota Highlander

July 24, 2025
By Sonia from Mooresville, NC

Today I purchased a beautiful 2014 Toyota Highlander Limited (Burgundy exterior and Almond interior). I called the dealership last week and spoke to the salesman named Will. Will answered all my questions and sent me videos and pictures of the car addressing all my concerns. He was a great help and very pleasant to work with. After driving the car home for over 200 miles, the ride was very smooth and nice. Everyone in the office were also very nice and helpful. I will definitely come to JT Auto Group when I need another car.

Owns this car

I hate to sell this car, but my daughter is in college.... I purchased it with around 40,000 miles on it; we have put on another 30,000. This past year we did a complete re-working of the car. I had intended the car to go to my son and his wife, but they decided to work from home and don't need another car. So my labor of love needs to go to someone else. As much fun as it is to drive, my wife has informed me that I need to reduce our "rolling stock." It is only the two of us at home and we have four cars! I can tell you everything right and everything wrong with this car.
