Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Lakeland, FL

11 years ago I drove my Toyota 4Runner off the lot with 3 miles on the ODO. 180,000 miles later it was time for a new vehicle. The top 3 things I was looking for in a new vehicle where 1) reasonably good gas milage (I drive 25K miles a year for work) 2) technology 3) versatility. A sporty hatchback checked all three boxes for me. My search narrowed to the Ford ST and VW Golf GTI. I drove both vehicles and the VW was the clear winner. It was not only more refined, but it had the personality I was looking for as well. I started dealing with a local VW dealer in Orlando, but wasn't satisfied with their response time. I reached out to Lakeland VW through Cars.com to confirm they had the exact make/model/trim/color/transmission that they had listed on the website. Lakeland VW was quick to respond to any and all of my questions, and because of that, I made the trip from Orlando to Lakeland. I was at the dealership at 9AM on a Saturday, and by Noon I was on the road back home with my new VW. It was going to be hard to steal me away from Toyota; I loved my 4Runner and it was a phenomenal vehicle...but VW had the automobile that suited me. My experience with Lakeland VW was pleasurable, and the car buying process could not have been easier. Hats off to Lacey with their internet department for answering my initial questions and getting me to the dealership, Hiram for his product knowledge and sales ability, and Jared for getting through the paperwork process quickly. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I'm looking forward to putting many enjoyable miles on my MK7 Sport.

Always wanted a Jeep so entered the pool by buying a Patriot. Nothing fancy—I.e., basic radio controls—but my goals were utility, maneuverability, reliability and economy, and so far, after 3.5 years, all remains good. Biggest complaint? Interior is all black, which shows up all the dirt and dust a lazy person seems to attract.

Good afternoon. I have leased from Courtesy since 1995. I have leased 8/9 cars (lost track!). The last 5 I have had one salesman and I request him every time. His name is Hank Keller. He is not only superior at what he does but during the entire lease he is helpful should I have any problems. I have dealt with so many fantastic techs in the service department that I have lost track of them and lets not forget there is always turnover. Most recently, I give kudos to Kevin, Ghandi, Chad, Harold and many more. They know what they are doing, they are excellent at customer service and they are honest! My favorite cars are the Corolla, Cambry and the Prius. I went back to a Corolla this year. I had the Prius last year and I loved it. The only problem I had with it is that it was too low! I would hit every crub going in and out of driveways. Went back to a Corolla this lease. I have had 6 of them! I particularly loved the color....you call it Blue and I call it Gun Metal Gray. It dazzles and does have a hint of blue when you look at it in the sun. I have one problem with this Corolla......when you lock it from the inside, which I always do, the lock is "under" the door handle. Not good! Otherwise, I love Toyota, I love Courtesy and I love the employees! Thank you Courtesy for coming into my life!

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. This vehicle has great value. Great gas mileage , very comfortable , definitely not too big for city driving . Has great features add a very good price .

After purchasing our 2016 Ford Mustang from Jesus Van Der Henst for my husband, it was my turn! After checking several other dealers for a sedan I thought I might like, I decided to go back to Jesus & revisit the 2016 Ford Taurus he had me test drive the day before. He was right, this was my car & now IS my car! He was so helpful & patient with us prior to my decision to buy. I love having something that not many other people have & this fit the bill, right down to the color! Because of this being a full size vehicle, which I love, & a model that not too many others want because of the large size, I was sold. You buy a car because it appeals to you & having a personable Salesman, helps make the experience more exciting. Well, I have to say that coming in without knowing what I wanted & leaving with a car that I just LOVE tells me that Jesus made my time very enjoyable! He was such a sweet gentleman & very knowledgeable in answering all of our questions, as was our financial guide, Vincent Ippolito. I recommend Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel for a great selection of cars & wonderful service! Thanks for helping us purchase our "2" new cars, Jesus!!!

This car has met all of our needs and have been a great car for a family of 4 in all Colorado seasons. Plenty of leg room in the front and rear with ample storage to move around town and get to the mountain for skiing and camping. This car has everything you could want, heated seats, bluetooth, temperature guage, auto dimming rear view mirror, 110v outlet inverter and roof rails to name a few. New larger all season tires were put on in December 2018 and have less that 5k miles on them.

Not the best vechial to have if driving more then 15,000 miles a year. Has cvt issues,at 60 thousand. Has excerallion issues. It is roomy, and I like the body style. But personally I wish I could get rid of the patriot.

We drove two hours from the East coast with our truck and travel trailer as trade, after working with the internet department, to purchase our new Traverse. I was blown away. Ferman has totally upset the car buying experience. When we set out to buy this car, based on previous car buying experiences at other dealers, I meant it when I said I'd rather have another root canal or prep for another colonoscopy than have to deal with a car dealer. They gave us a trade-in value on our truck and trailer before we came from photos and VIN numbers, and offered the price for the Traverse that was advertised on the internet. Even adding back the dealer prep fee, they sold the car for $1411 below invoice. We had done our research, and frankly, I had no information with which to argue the price. They also offered us $3500 more than our local dealer (where we did the traditional four hours with the salesman negotiating price - too long to tell what went wrong there, but we left very unhappy.) When we arrived for our appointment, Nate was waiting for us with the car. He was extraordinarily friendly and a pleasure to deal with. But my wife and I continued to wait for the catch. Are they going to say we don't qualify for one of their incentives? Are they going to argue that the inspection uncovered something with the trade-in? Were they going to sign us up for an usurious interest rate with their preferred lender? We remained skeptical until we were done with the finance officer (and got a lower interest rate than our own bank said was available!) We saved over $5000 from what our local dealer offered. I never thought I would say this about ANY car dealer, but not just recommended, but HIGHLY recommended! Ferman demonstrated what the car buying experience CAN be. The only thing Ferman retains from the traditional dealer industry that gives them a crooked reputation is the dealer prep fee. But as I said, I added that back to their price when comparing against invoice. This is really the only negative thing I could come up with. Oh yeah....the family LOVES the car.

I think this is a great vehicle. It's really nice looking, great on gas and it's AWESOME in the snow!! I would definitely but one!!

We came to look at a car fax truck 04 Ford and ended up in a 2010 f-150 couldn't be happier. Thanks to Preston we were able to negotiate a price that we could afford. We never felt under pressure and felt like he was working for us thanks. We will definitely send any of our friends there, and the barbecue was worth the trip. Gotta go Mr Maurice Paquin😎😎

Being a lifelong full size 4x4 owner I couldn't picture myself in this little SUV. The first time I drove the patriot my attitude began to change. This SUV is unbelievable on fuel, and impressed me with its 4x4 capability in heavy snow conditions of a Canadian Winter. I'm a big guy, and felt totally comfortable in the Patriots roomy interior. The Patriot isn't a Willy's Jeep, but if I go to town for supplies, and decide to come back on woods roads through knee deep snow it will bring me home.
