Used Car Lot

Reasons You Should Choose Orange Coast CJDRF Over Private Sellers

Private sellers make used vehicles available all the time, sometimes for extremely low prices. This may seem like a surefire way to get your hands on something without breaking the bank. However, there are a lot of downsides associated with buying from private sellers as opposed to buying from a trusted used car lot. A lot of it boils down to guarantees and protections for the vehicle you purchase. For instance, at Orange Coast CJDRF, the price you see for a vehicle is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or extra costs.

When you buy from a private seller, you also sometimes have to worry about the history of the car: Who were the previous owners? How much work was done to the vehicle? How many vital components were altered, swapped, modified, or repaired? What is the collision history? How is the body and wheel alignment? The battery? The engine? The transmission? There are a lot of questions that go into the purchase of a used vehicle from a private seller, but you may not always get the answers you're looking for. Indeed, many private sellers won't even know themselves. With Orange Coast CJDRF, you don't have to worry about any of that when you buy used vehicles from our lot.

We also offer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles, which meet an incredibly high standard you cannot find with a private seller. For instance, every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle has gone through a multi-point inspection, so you know that you're getting a vehicle in the best condition possible with every potential problem already repaired. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles also come with a free vehicle history report, so you know what you're getting and what the history of the vehicle has been. This is an essential benefit to buying a used car from Orange Coast CJDRF, because it means you know exactly what you're getting.

Another added benefit of buying used from Orange Coast CJDRF. is that Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with factory warranties. This includes both limited bumper-to-bumper warranties as well as extended powertrain warranties. This means that you're getting a vehicle that you know is covered for maintenance and service for an extended period of time, removing any worries, doubts, or fears about the longevity of the vehicle you purchased from our lot.

What You Need to Know About Buying Used Cars

As explained above, not every kind of used car is the same. You get more guarantees and warranties in some cases, while you get better prices and options in others. For instance, while a Certified Pre-Owned model may net you a longer-lasting vehicle with certain protections, you may have more pricing options when buying a standard used vehicle, some of which can even be acquired for under $10,000.

Our financing also covers pre-owned and leasing options. So if you don't feel comfortable paying in cash upfront for a vehicle and prefer to take out an auto loan, we can help you with that. Making use of an auto loan can reduce upfront costs and give you some room with your finances. This is also why it's important to see how your finances stack up against buying a used vehicle by using our online payment calculator so you can find out exactly what you can afford and what your monthly payments might be.

When buying used, we make sure that all potential buyers have the option to test-drive the vehicle before committing to a purchase. Whether you visit our used car lot in person or shop from the comfort of your home, we allow you to schedule a test drive of a used vehicle before you commit to signing on the dotted line. In fact, we encourage potential shoppers to test-drive the vehicle they want before they agree to purchase the vehicle.

Another thing to consider is that used vehicles go fast, and this is why we're committed to helping you find the right vehicle for you. Before you give up hope of finding the right car, truck, or SUV, we will attempt to find the exact kind of used vehicle you want within 72 hours, and if we can't, then we'll cover the first payment on any other vehicle available on our used car lot.

If, for any reason, you aren't satisfied with what you purchased, we offer a 72-hour/250-mile unconditional money-back guarantee on all vehicles from Orange Coast CJDRF. You're not locked into an indefinite commitment like some other dealerships. If you don't like your car, just bring it back and let us find you something better. This gives you some peace of mind and leeway when it comes to buying from our dealership.

Used Sedans

Despite the fact that many automotive manufacturers are decreasing the number of sedans in their lineups or even eliminating them completely, they are still a viable option for drivers looking for a smooth and comfortable ride. Not only do they make great passenger vehicles with their spacious interiors, but they still offer great fuel economy and can be safer than SUVs, vans, and trucks since they have a lesser chance of rollovers due to their lower center of gravity. Some may even say sedans are more enjoyable to drive than any other vehicle. Both the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300 are prime examples of why sedans are still in demand and are readily available to find on our used car lot.

The Dodge Charger may not be considered an everyday passenger car by most, but if you're looking for a four-door sedan that performs as good as it looks, the Charger is definitely an option. You'll have plenty of seating for friends or family and a wide variety of features to keep everyone entertained and comfortable with every drive. For the days or the nights that you desire the freedom of the racetrack or the open highway, the Dodge Charger seconds as a performance car, allowing you to have fun and let loose when you want to. However, if you're looking to maximize its capabilities, the Charger is even available with all-wheel drive, giving you a safer and better ride in any road condition. It's a perfect blend of practicality and performance, all rolled into a single sedan.

For car enthusiasts looking for a more sophisticated appearance on the road, you can't go wrong with the large and roomy Chrysler 300. You will look and feel elegant hitting the streets by yourself or with passengers. In addition to the premium design and available features, the Chrysler 300 also packs some impressive performance with its available V8 engine. Similar to the Dodge Charger, the Chrysler 300 is even available with all-wheel drive giving you the confidence you need on the road, no matter what the weather or road conditions may be.

Although many drivers are turning to SUVs for their versatility, sedans have come a long way through the years. Some now offer all-wheel drive, and some even offer better cargo solutions with split-folding rear seats, both of which you can find with the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300. So when you're browsing through our used car lot, keep in mind that although you may not see as many sedans on the road, they are still a great option if you're looking for a commuter or passenger vehicle that offers the best handling and an exhilarating experience.

Used Trucks

Known for their ability to work and untouchable capabilities, trucks are ideal for drivers looking for a vehicle that can handle it all. Through the years, trucks have evolved into becoming more fuel-efficient models, with interiors providing more space and driver-focused designs and features, making them more appealing to those looking for a comfortable commuter and passenger vehicle that they can put to work when they need to. Today trucks come in all different shapes and sizes, making it easy for you to find a model suitable for you. With a choice of cab sizes, bed sizes, and a wide variety of trim levels, there's a truck built for everyone, even on our used car lot. Two of our favorites that demonstrate the variety of options you have with trucks are the Ram truck and the Jeep Gladiator.

Previously known as the Dodge Ram, the Ram truck has become one of America's best trucks. Since it became its own brand in 2010, Ram has been able to concentrate on keeping its reputation for superiority in performance, capability, design, and features. With your choice of light-duty and heavy-duty versions, you can customize the capability of your Ram truck based on the tasks you need it to conquer. And with the options for a luxurious cabin space resembling some of the premium SUVs you can find on the market, no matter how hard you and your truck need to work, it won't feel like work while you're sitting in the driver's seat.

The Jeep Gladiator can handle some light-duty work towing a trailer here or a camper there, and it can even haul some material in the bed for basic home improvement jobs, but it's built primarily for fun. This midsize pickup truck is trail-ready right off of the production line. It may not necessarily have the greatest fuel economy or offer the smoothest performance on the highway, but when you're shopping for the Gladiator, you're getting something that looks as rugged as it performs. It's capable of tackling your daily driving needs, but it's designed to bring you adventure.

Used Minivans

Minivans may no longer be the only vehicle option for large families as they used to be before SUVs joined the market, but they are still an optimal choice. If you're looking for an affordable passenger vehicle with incredible room for your passengers and everything they need to bring on the road, a minivan is far better than an SUV. Not to mention you'll likely get better gas mileage due to being built on a car-like chassis with engines similar to those found in cars. Minivans may not be the most attractive vehicle, but they are the most practical vehicles when you're trying to please a crowd on the road with plenty of room and passenger-oriented technology.

The Chrysler Pacifica is a minivan that checks all the boxes, from style to grace. It's spacious, and it's thoughtfully designed. Not only is it fuel-efficient and available with a hybrid motor for even more efficiency, but its available all-wheel drive gives you the ability to tackle any road conditions, whether impaired by inclement weather or from lack of maintenance. What's more, in the Chrysler Pacifica, although you'll be a minivan, you'll be driving in style with its elegant exterior appearance and premium features on the interior for you and your passengers to enjoy. So whether you're looking for the most interior space or a vehicle designed with your passengers in mind, capable of providing you with a desirable performance, don't overlook a minivan because ones like the Pacifica are an option available to you.

Although the Dodge Grand Caravan may not necessarily hold up against the Chrysler Pacifica when it comes to style, design, and performance, it is a great minivan for those looking for basic family-friendly features. It's an affordable passenger vehicle with ample interior space, which means if you're on a strict budget and are in need of lots of seats and plenty of cargo room, it can happen. The last model year for the Grand Caravan may have been 2020, but that doesn't mean you cannot get yourself one of the most affordable used minivans out there. If you're looking for a bargain with the essentials you'll need for traveling with passengers, you can still find pre-owned Dodge Grand Caravans at our used car lot.

Used SUVs

Used SUVs are the most versatile vehicles on the market, a perfect blend of a passenger vehicle with the capabilities of a truck. SUVs offer better towing ratings and off-road ability than a minivan and more passenger space and interior storage than a truck. And with their price tags being slightly more than similarly sized sedans and minivans, choosing a used model allows you to fit that stylish SUV that's perfect for your driving needs right into your budget.

When it comes to a powerful SUV, the Dodge Durango is the model of choice. Not only does its exterior appearance resemble that of a muscle car, making it very easy on the eyes, but it's quick to accelerate with its available V8 engines and offers best-in-class towing. When you need a versatile vehicle that can handle it all and is equipped with three rows of seats, but you really have your heart set on a muscle car, you should check out the Dodge Durango. It's not only more affordable but more adaptable to the road and your lifestyle.

Another great model that demonstrates the flexibility of an SUV is the off-road warrior, Jeep Wrangler. Although it may not be as sleek as the Dodge Durango nor as spacious, this iconic trail-rider is capable of many things beyond tackling the rough terrain. For additional cabin space, you can choose the four-door Wrangler Unlimited over the standard two-door model. For better fuel efficiency, there's even a plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe that can help you save on fuel costs. With the ability to tow and venture as far off the beaten path as you want, with different trims to choose from and many packages and accessories that can be added for a customizable experience, the Jeep Wrangler is a prime example of how there are no limitations to how versatile an SUV can be.
