Used Toyota Avalon for Sale in Clearwater, FL

Hi-- Hi live in Maryland, but found a nice used VW beetle at PJ's AutoWorld in Clearwater, FL. Given that I would have to either ship the car, or fly down to drive it home, I was pretty apprehensive about locking in a car sight unseen. I worked with John Gianfilippo, and he was VERY helpful. He took extra pictures of the car, walked me through all of the items that he thought were points against the car, and generally gave me a good idea of the car, both good and bad. So I put down a deposit, bought one way plane tickets for my daughter and I, and arranged to come down. He insisted in picking us up at the airport, even though it was out of the way for him. The car was as described, with one major change. The car had very low miles, and while the tread was fine, it had been sitting idle for a few years (common in Florida, BTW). John did something very admirable. He had the tires replaced, just to make sure that there wasn't dry-rot and the car would survive a 12 hour drive. he did not need to do this, but I was grateful-- and he did it on his own dime. I highly recommend this company.

It is reliable and always gets me comfortably from point A to point B. It doesn't have all the new bells and whistles new cars have. But that is less things that could fail.

All good here! Will do business again! Thanks so much!

This car has meet all my needs and I have enjoyed driving this car. the reason that I’m selling this car because I’m graduating and traveling back home

I was on an errand in Clearwater when a service light appeared on my dashboard, one I'd never seen before. I looked it up in the service manual, and it was a serious one. I'm new to this area, hadn't had my Prius serviced locally yet, so I was at the mercy of whichever dealership could take me first. I called two, but when connected to the service departments, I only got voice mail. My third call was to Auto Nation Toyota; I explained my situation and was put through to John Curtis. He listened to me (and the near-panic in my voice), and calmly told me that the car would be OK to be driven as far as their location, and assured me that they'd take immediate and good care of me. Which is exactly what transpired. John is a professional, easy going, and "knows his stuff." He gave me the information I needed to know, in a manner that a person who is not automotive knowledgeable could comprehend. I sincerely recommend John as a "go to guy" for your car's needs. Not only that, but for the first time in my driving life (and I'm no spring chicken), not only does this dealership offer you a ride home, but a ride back to pick up your car as well! That, to me, was amazing! Both drivers were personable and the cars immaculately clean, without any nasty, perfumey coverup smells (which I'm allergic to). My '08 Prius and I are very happy with the experience and service rendered.

Bought the 2015 Avalon about 6 months ago as a used vehicle. So far so good. No complaints! The sport/eco/normal performance option is awesome. Very comfortable interior. Sleek exterior.

I had been notified several times about the Toyota 2007 cars that had a recall on the airbags, however, didn't know where to take it (that I trusted) so didn't bother. Finally had a 'card' saying 'get it done'! so caled the number, told them why it wasn't taken care of - the dealer I've bought last 3 cars from (which I was satisfied) had moved into their new expanded bldg.., went up for an oil change just to test them - the young man 'greeter' I call him, said my car was ready then bean the sales pitch, intently, I said no, he persisted and looked very upset. Drove away, reached for my cell phone and it was gone. Evidently the 'shop' needed it more than I did. The Clearwater dealer, when shopping for my first Toyota, had me in the office the entire day, playing the back/forth to 'so called mgr.' for better deal game so I walked out. I don't like being treated like I'm stupid, don't know what I want, etc.; I may be dumb, but not stupid.. I don't like those 'get a better price' tactics and won't deal with them. They know what the price will be no matter how much dickering.. Your dealership was almost unbelievable - no bargaining, no pressure what so ever, recommended what needed to be done and out the door. EVERYONE was curtious, polite, smiling and working their....rear ends off, but had time to see if I needed help. Yes, I'll no doubt be back.

It is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned right after my Lexus. Toyota is the brand you can always trust, period.

my experience was good; however, i believe it is unfair to customers and employees that the only acceptable score is a "5;" otherwise the employee is considered to have received a bad/zero score. a customer can have a good experience but they shouldn't feel pressed to only rate an employee with a perfect score. this leads to false ratings. just my thoughts

Car met my expectations, except my previous one had more tint on the windows and the ability to lock the door from the outside without the key fob in hand. Truck is smaller, but the back seats do fold down.

I came to Sun Toyota a week ago, on a referral. My mother gets her Scion serviced here and hasn't had a bad experience yet. I knew my 15-year-old Saturn was nearly on its last legs, so I had been looking for a while. Before my Sun visit, I started with a Hyundai dealer in my area, and had a "predator vs prey" experience. Sun Toyota is vastly different...and I bought a car based on that. My Saturn had 138k miles, so I knew I wouldn't get much for a trade, but I wanted/needed something newer and more reliable. I made an appointment and spent some time with Donald Smith. And I bought a car. Did he sell it to me? Yes. But I had fun the whole time. I went in with a wish list, but I also knew I might have to compromise a little bit. At the Hyundai dealer, the salesman brought me to the 2017s on the lot right away, even though I told him I wasn't looking for a brand-spanking-new model. In fact, he came *right* out of the showroom the minute I stepped on the lot. Not a good feeling - he seemed like a vulture. When I visited Sun, I made an appointment beforehand. (Maybe I should've done that with Hyundai too, but...live and learn!) In contrast to the Hyundai salesman, Don didn't make me feel vulnerable at all. When I explained my budget and wish list, he took me to the models in my price range. He explained that he wanted me to actually see them, to know what was available. What they had on the lot, would've been a lot like my Saturn - over 100k miles, and needing a lot of TLC. Saturn is a wonderful brand, & my prior car never did me wrong. But it wasn't very cost effective to keep, and I knew I needed something with more pep in it. Luckily, I could be flexible with my pricing, and my "short list" of models. (I'm used to driving Toyotas, since my other half has one too, but I wasn't opposed to trying other cars.) I think that helped too. I went in wanting to buy outright, and avoid payments. That didn't *exactly* happen. I came out with a small payment, but I can afford it. Most important, I have peace of mind. I appreciate that Don was willing to listen, and show me what was available. Also... *Sun Toyota never bashed other dealers - something my local Hyundai was quick to do. *Toyota now has longer warranties, on new and used cars. (20 yr/200k miles vs 10y/100k). Hyundai tried to tell me those were no longer offered. *They offer certified pre-owned models that go through a 160-pt inspection. I liked knowing their cars have already been vetted. Local Hyundai didn't offer certified anything. *Don took the time to listen to ME first, before I started test driving cars. He didn't just show me what HE wanted to move. *Don made it a fun experience! I was relaxed and enjoyed myself...and I have a new(er) car to show for it. I literally hugged him before driving off the lot. I have never done that before. *Sun didn't pester me after I left the dealership. Don has called to check on me and my car. (Local Hyundai salesman called me 3x in two days after I visited, because I didn't make an immediate decision.) At the end of the day, salesmen have to make sales, but customers have to be happy, too. Both of those things happened at Sun Toyota, so that's a win-win. And the most ironic part of the whole visit? I now have a Hyundai. (LOL!) If you visit Sun Toyota and you're in the market for a great experience, ask for Don. He won't disappoint you.

Well, it's 2019 and I just bought a used 2011 Avalon. It's like a brand new car. Only has about 70,000 miles. With each model year I've had, they've gotten better. My 2011 is powerful, quiet, smooth, and drives like a dream. Like all Toyotas I've owned, this one should be really reliable and provide years of trouble-free driving. I love my Avalon!

Steven was an amazing salesman. The second we got out of our car he was there ,seemed to be on a break eating an icy ...which he dropped immediately and helped us . The process was smooth and he kept us informed all the way . The only thing I would improve on is getting into the final stage of signing ( we waited over 2 hours ). But overall great experience. And we purchased a Dodg Challenger Scat Pack 👍🏻. Good job Steven !

This is a great car for traveling. Smooth, quiet, powerful and comfortable. Huge trunk and tons of leg room front and back. Very comfortable seats and good sounding entertainment center.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

As a realtor, I needed a large comfortable sedan that was luxurious yet performed well. The Avalon Touring, essentially a Lexus ES 350 F type minus some frills for $11K less, delivers. 0-60 in under 6 seconds, 301 HP from a smooth V6 mated to an 8 speed automatic, all the safety and convenience features available. Plus the 4 mode driving selector that transforms the car from a relaxed cruiser to a very sporty car that is nearly Audi-like in handling, throttle response, and steering. Drive this car and forget what the previous version focused on. This new Avalon is for younger drivers that aren't ready to retire!

This is a review of Bob Weinstock, Service Manager at Parks Lincoln of Tampa. I am a female who is well past retirement age. I need to work with folks who are honest, courteous, easy to understand and more than capable of delivering a quality repair job. Bob Weinstock at Parks Lincoln on North Florida Ave in Tampa is that and more. In April, 2018 I took my Lincoln Town Car in for what was a 'periodic' issue with the transmission. At the time that I arrived at the dealership the problem would not reveal itself, which is always an issue with the customer ... that egg on your face feeling! But Bob listened carefully as I explained the history of the prior few days and he knew this intermittent problem was soon to be a major one. He kept the car and sure enough his transmission tech found the problem ... which required major transmission work ... and within days I was back in my car. Two months later all is still good. This all sounds simple, but I have been to repair shops where, when the problem was not immediately detected by their diagnostics, would not have taken the time to listen, who would have sent me away, making me feel like a totally incompetent female. This is just not the norm for the professional and tech staff at this dealership. They are top notch. It is common for the tech to come to the service office to speak with the customer. Bob and his staff listen, they make you feel comfortable, and even when stressed to the max they offer a kind smile. I have taken my automobile to Parks for 8 years and have never regretted it.

This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars!

After extensive research . . . considered several other full-size sedans . . . settled on 2016 AVALON. I have been delighted by performance and interior roominess. Also, a very well insulated (quiet) car. We can conduct a conversation in whispers if we choose to do so! 16 cu. ft. trunk is roomy enough for most loads we carry - -including my golf clubs. We love this car!

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Very comfortable, reliable and great value. Honestly I don’t think you could buy a better vehicle at any price! This is basically a Lexus with a Toyota badge. If you are looking for a great ride, reliability and value this is your car.

I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

Well, it is a Toyota so I bought a 2019 Avalon XLE Hybrid primarily for its reliability. However, it has two major flaws. Firstly, it is supposed to provide 43 mpg, but actually it is a lot less. Currently, it is 34.6 mpg. Secondly, for a pretty luxurious car I expected it to have all the safety features for which Toyota is famous. Unfortunately, it turned out that it is missing Intelligent Clearance Sonar and Parking Assist. When I called Toyota and asked if these features could be installed, I was told that it was too complicated. Big disappointment.

I was referred to Texas Direct Auto/Vroom by a good friend and I???m glad I decided to go with them for my car purchase! I initially got Billie as my car sales personnel, but she seemed to be very pushy and just aiming to make quick sale; which is something that made me very uncomfortable. After speaking with her for a while I advised I would give her a call back to speak with my financial advisor on proceeding further on this process with Vroom. When I called back I got a different agent that saw in the system that saw I was talking to Billie and advised me that she would give me a call back in 5 mins, well 30 mins passed and I called back upset because I did not hear back from her after she ran my credit and didn???t like the fact I wasn???t trying to put 2500 down. My credit score was excellent I had a 740, but I didn???t have enough credit history she said is the reason why she kept asking me to put so much money down on 23k 24k car. The last time I called upset after not hearing anything from her a gentleman by the name of Shannon Humbles answered and I advised him that I did not want to work with Billie anymore because she made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like she didn???t personally care about helping me through the process of the purchase. Shannon is an ALLSTAR!! He went over and beyond the call of duty to help me make this purchase!!! 7 days later my vehicle sits in my parking garage and I love it! The process was so easy to purchase, I had to put 1500 which is the standard, instead of 2800 that???s Billie was demanding that I put down! Please go with Vroom! I saw a couple bad reviews and I know every process has its flaws, but I???m here to tell you, they work! They are a very good company and I look forward to making another purchase with them for my girlfriend???s Christmas gift! Thanks Shannon and Vroom!!!!

Very well made car great ride good gas mileage. Bought a high mileage used car, dealer prep was well done and delivered in great shape.

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!

My side panel next to the driver's seat kept slipping off, after snapping it back on a couple times it seemed like it was going to break if I kept doing this. Since my car is still under warranty I thought Toyota would fix it, but was told since I broke it they wouldn't cover it. It broke because of the defect!

This car is worth the price. Im glad to have purchased my first car from Brick City Motors. I highly recommend this dealership! Im Thankful.

This car has been nothing great of a miracle. I got it with 58,844 miles and a year and a half it sits at 85,000. Never has failed me, always dependable and my favorite car I've ever had other than my 95 Escort. Reliability is a factor in me deciding my favorite car and it has been just as reliable as my Escort in every way. Have had to do brakes and coolant overflow tank, but that is preventative maintenance. Never once have I turned the key and it didn't start. Great first car or something if you're looking for something that is reliable. Got it from Marietta Toyota in Marietta, GA and one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Great vehicle. All great features. Many features, I was not aware of until they just appear. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a luxury vehicle.

They staff was great, Everyone one was super friendly and they make sure you are happy with your purchase.And they also recommended my wife and I a great place to eat,While they service my car since i drove from another state just to buy a car from them.

It's luxurious, very comfortable for driver and passengers. But it's a bit too big for me. I was accustomed to driving a Camry and it was easier to handle to me.
