Used Toyota for Sale in Chesapeake, VA

I own a 2002 Dodge Dakota that I bought from a used car dealer on Little Creek Road 3 years ago. A little rough, but far better than the ones that come from the northern states where winter salt / chemical treatments just eat up a vehicle. Got a used car inspection first at Greenbrier Dodge before making my decision, which didn't scare me off. Bought it and for several months no problems. But I had some random issues that started showing up that I nor a few other service centers could isolate. Turned out to be a slight head gasket leak that took well over 500 miles for a misfire to appear and any coolant loss to be measurable. But the truck always ran fine and those symptoms were so rare and random. 3 out of 4 shops could find nothing wrong and the one that got it right had initially found nothing wrong, so I was chasing my tail for over a year trying to figure it out. But that one shop got a hit on a block test the second time they did the test several months later. The truck never failed a pressure test, but I finally decided to get a head job done anyway. The shop I chose also found nothing wrong, too, but they kept the pressure test hooked up for an extended period of time just to be sure and eventually it did lose pressure. Got that shop to do a head job that solved the misfires and coolant issue, but it introduced another problem they couldn't figure out (told it might need to just be "driven out"). Eventually took it to Greenbrier Dodge who figured it out right away. The complete fix was a little pricey because they will use MOPAR parts and not the less expensive aftermarket ones, and convinced me to go with a full replacement of all tappets/lifters and rocker arms because it wasn't done during the head job for some reason. So the problem was fixed, truck runs great, and the work is warrantied. But I had to take it back to Greenbrier twice for a couple of small oil leaks that didn't exist before. I was dealing with a service rep named Ari, and he took car of me. When I got the original estimate for the work, he told me about a service coupon to get from their website for 10% off. When I took it back for the leaks, both times he got me in first on the day of my choice, and each leak was fixed for no charge under the warranty. There was no haggling - each instance they just fixed it right away. Ari is a young guy, but I'm sure he's a car guy, too, and not just a service rep trying to hold down a job. He's pretty busy, but always has a great attitude. So I'm grateful they found the problem, wish it cost less, and very grateful they took care of the leaks as quick as they did. Ari's great attitude and the overall service I received - not to mention how well the truck runs now - makes the expense worth it. Finally have peace of mind thanks to Ari and the techs at Greenbrier Dodge. Greenbrier Dodge might not be my first choice for all service, but I would never rule them out.... especially for the tough problems like I had.

We keep our cars for a long time so I looked long & hard and decided one the Highlander. I test drive it and thought it was the most comfortable & I loved all of the safety features!

I was referred by a friend to Randy Earles at checkered flag. I was in a tight spot and needed a car on a Sunday. Randy went above and beyond to make sure that happened. He came in early on a Sunday and searched tirelessly to find the vehicle best suited for me. This was as if I had gone to a close friend to buy a car rather than a salesman. I’d refer any and everybody to this location so you can have the same experience.

Got this car last spring and loved it! Great on gas and hoped it would last me for a long time. It had 230,000 km on it and then all of a sudden the tranny went on it. Mine is a manual transmission and I thought it was the clutch at first. So I traded it in for a Nissan Altima, which was a nightmare. I wanted my baby back so bad. So a few months later, I saw the guy I traded it in to had it up for sale for more than I paid for it! I messaged him and told him I wanted to trade back. He did, thankfully and I couldn't be more happy to be reunited with the little car! Fun little car to drive. I had no other problem ever other than the tranny, which I hear is common for that year. Hope I have no more problems with the tranny though.

I recommend coming here to get your used cars. Lannin & his wife treat their customers so well & they are very fair in price. Thank you guys.

We have loved having this converted Sienna for transporting a young adult in a wheelchair to activities and on family trips. Toyota makes a top-rated minivan and Freedom Motors makes the user-friendly conversion. It has worked so well we recently purchased the 2019 version of the same van and same conversion. Clean, well-maintained, garaged vehicle performs well in all seasons.

This was a fantastic, painless, stress-free car buying experience! I came in vowing I would never drive a minivan in my LIFE, but after sitting in one (after trying several other makes and models), and giving it a test drive, I'm not sure I could ever go back. The amount of space this has is amazing! I didn't feel pressured at any point during the sale, the pricing was fair and straightforward, and everything was easy and completed within a few hours. I am very pleased with Randy's service at Checkered Flag Auto Outlet, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

My family was in a roll over in a 2007 Sienna and everyone was perfectly fine. That gave us a pretty good feeling when we went to find another vehicle.

I've owned cars since the 70's. I've toured VW, Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Ford, Carmax and Toyota Dealerships, been to car shows, used car lots, junk yards - have kept a Chevy S-10 alive for 22 years - rented cars for the last 9 years of its life and in 2013 hunted for a used car. In short, I've been around and know what I like. I've had good and bad experiences. My visit to Checker Flag Toyota dealership was by far the best experience to date. Carmax was the lowest key, low stress, but not as friendly. Jaclyn has been my next door neighbor since last year. This was my first professional interaction with her and she was super. Easy to make an appointment, flexible when I arrived late, I was asked by almost all the staff that saw me waiting if I needed assistance. I got a full tour of all the options - new and certified pre-owned - sales and lease options. We drove a certified pre-owned Highlander XLE, 2015 model with lots of extras, some regrettably unique to that model year. I learned all about what made that SUV special, what makes Toyota great, what makes Checkerflag Toyota best of all. I gained a new respect for my neighbor too. The only things that kept me from buying the car right then were my personal circumstances and the ridiculously low value of my Chevy Colorado - I've lot $10k in 4 years after I bought it used. (lesson here - buy a Toyota if you want a car to hold value - painful lesson learned). I know my next car with be a Toyota and my only dealership will be Checker Flag in Norfolk. How's that for a productive day? Thanks Jaclyn for giving me a great introduction!!!

I was surprised at the gas mileage I get on the highway! At times 30 plus miles to the gallon. It has pickup when I need it too. I added a trailer hitch because it is needed at times. Car pulls a trailer fine! Seats are very comfortable. I like the dashboard arrangement of the 2015 Rav4 that my wife has than the arrangement of the 2017 model. Downside, turning on a street at night. The headlights do not illuminate the area that I am turning into very well. Love the radar, works very well on the highway.

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

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!

The car suites my needs but comes up short in some areas. There is no leg room in the back seat. In order to make more room the front seat has to be pulled up. This shortens the leg room for the front seat passenger and puts the driver too close to the steering wheel. The trunk space is too small. The owners manual is not clear in some places.

Buying through Carvana was one of the best transactional experiences ever! I shopped for several months, test drove several cars to understand the models and features I was looking for. Then, boom, the car that matched come up in my search and I pulled the trigger. Within minutes, I had a value on my trade-in, purchased the car, (to include a very well priced extended warranty), and arranged for financing it through the Carvana website. And, while that was a very easy, non pressure experience, what made it really special was the delivery. Rachel, the Caravan rep, called me the day before the delivery to confirm, then called while in route to be sure not to leave me hanging. She was right on time, professional, and extremely upbeat. I had a genuine feeling that her priority was not only to deliver the car and pick up my trade in, but it was to make the final part of my experience a pleasure as well. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable of the process and did an excellent job of assuring I was informed of the "7 day, no questions asked, test drive" as well as the final paperwork to be processed. A few signatures and the trade-in was her's and the keys to 2014 BMW 535 were in my hands.

maintained by mainly Toyota dealer, no leaks , battery fine , no codes or lights on. , just serviced... gets around 40 mpg. or more. , all power things and Bluetooth work fine...

Out of the blue I was contacted by a woman from Carvana on a Sunday when I actually had time to communicate. She and all of the subsequent reps who sent me information as I needed or requested it were professional and thorough. I was able to research the company online and was impressed with the entire concept of online selling and car buying and the ease with which I was able to find background information. Once I agreed to the offer I was taken step by step through the process. I was not confused even once by the process. I had nothing to do but gather my documents, upload them and then schedule a date for my car to be picked up and for me to be paid. The local rep. From Carvana came to my home exactly at the agreed upon time, was clear about what was going to happen, worked quickly and answered my questions. Once the papers were signed (I did not need to go to the DMV or AAA or to a notary) I received my check and my car was loaded on the one car hauler and driven away. I deposited the check that day and funds were available the very next day (which happened to be a Sunday). If I were not really strapped for time perhaps I could have made an extra $ 500-1000 overall by selling it to an individual but I would have worked very hard for that extra money and spent time I did not have available. Instead, I was not stressed by the extra work, my other responsibilities were able to be met and my car is off and becoming someone else???s beautiful Subaru. Thank you Jan and all the others who worked on the transaction. Judy R ...

Dependable car. Love that the rear seat folds down and is open, perfect for moving larger items. Plenty of room for 3 kids in second row. Drives like a car with room of an suv.

Got this for my daughter and she loves it. It's her first car. It is a four cylinder but seems to have plenty of power and there is plenty of room for storage.

I bought mine used in 2010 with 58K on it. I have minor repairs done - timing, new radiator, tires, etc. There was a recall on the inverter but replaced at no cost to me. I love the torque especially going over mountain passes. I love the comfort - I'm short and Toyotas are one of the few cars that "fit" me well. I've gotten my money's worth and more. I'm forever a Toyota Girl.

As a business owner and a salesperson for 30 years, I must say I had a great experience with Brad and and Checkered Flag (for the most part). Brad truly seem to care about his customers and went way above and beyond what I expected. We have bought 3 cars from Checkered Flag over the years and this was certainly the best experience (for the most ) My only complaint is if a company has set one price/ no haggle price on cars, they need to set and stick with that price. Saw this car on Monday on the website for 13k, 3 days later when I'm ready to purchase, the price goes to $13,690. Non Negotiable. VERY POOR MANAGEMENT DECISION..

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.

I was looking for a SUV, and my salesperson Caleb Lyons was a great help. The process was very simple very happy about my new vehicle (2014 Ford Escape S). Thank you so much.

The car meet all the needs , wonderful inside and outside , with a luxury and confort . The driving is so easy and very confortable

This is my fourth Toyota, my first Corolla has over 400k miles and my son still drives it, this 2018 Camry rides nice and has a lot of pep for a 4 cylinder. I don't think you can beat it for the price

This is my 2nd Highlander. It is so easy and comfortable to drive. Third row is handy and plenty of room for 3 children. I'm thankful for the larger cargo space when 3rd row is up compared to 2009 model.

Comments: To the staff of L.A. Auto Star; I would like to apologize for not getting back in touch with you about the 2004 Nissan Truck you had for sale. It was the truck I really wanted, but buy the time I talked my to wife about coming down it had sold. All the information I ask for about the truck you staff supplied. Marina was a great sales person and I"m sorry I did not get back her sooner. In my humble opinion, the people at L.A. Auto Star were very courteous and respectful, something you very rarely find at most auto dealerships today. I would highly recommend your dealership to anyone who is looking for that perfect auto and a friendly, courteous atmosphere. Again, I would like to thank all the staff at L.A. Auto Star, for your professionalism and all that you have done for my wife an I. Respectfully Yours; Garry M.

Had to have the leg room with bad knees. Very easy to get in and out of.Like the low cargo height in tailgate . Just an easy vehicle to use and drive.

we went to shop for a pre-owned minivan. the sales person let us do an extended test drive and answered all of our questions despite the fact that it was late in the day and we showed up 15 minutes before they were closing. nice people, good to work with.

This suv would not be half bad except for the horrible wind noise front passenger. Toyota looked at it twice and won't admit there is excess wind much more fix it. I am working with them but I suspect I will be let down. If this is the case I will dump it and drive my 2002 until it dies and then buy a ford f 150 rather than a tundra.. Yes its that bad!!! I loved the 2002, this one not so much and not just the wind. The gps is useless and hard to use, the voice commands are 100% useless. ask it for pizza and it comes back with steak, not even close. I choose to use my $159 garmin which is 10X better and I never ever had to open the manual. Also the shut off at stop sign is useless and annoying. Overall its a solid 3 with nothing special and no redeeming options. It is my 6th Toyota/ lexus and probably the only one that isn't 5* It is probably 1 month from going on the lot unless they can fix the horrible wind., then I might look past all the average stuff.

Most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven, Smooth ride, strong engine, Yea it's a wagon but it doesn't feel like it. If you have kids this is a must, plenty of room.

I love my Highlander. It seats up to 7 passengers or I can lay 2nd and 3rd row seats and transport larger items as big as a couch. Very versatile.

Outstanding quality Dealership and Team of associates. Made my car buying experience truly remarkable. I have to say, Trey Leggett was a big part of my wowed experience. This young man addressed every question and concern I had. He was most respectful and willing to go above and beyond to help me make the right choice for the vehicle that would be everything I needed and wanted, without that " car sales man" pressure that I've experience in the past. He truly wanted me to be happy with my purchase. I highly recommend Trey, if you want to experience truly remarkable service.

This is by far one of the most underrated vehicles in the market. I was apprehensive about buying a minivan and the so-called stigmatism associated with them. After driving it for the 1st time on Mother's Day I was impressed at how well it performed and how comfortable it was. The Chestnut interior and ergonomics highlight every inch of the vehicle. The exterior styling is very classy, I'm very pleased with the responsive drive train and smooth shift points of the transmission. We looked at most of the SUV's and determined the Sienna the best fit for our family and lifestyle.
