Shop Local at Waldorf Toyota

Which is the Best Car Buying Option?

The growing popularity of online car shopping over the past few months has many buyers wondering: Is Carvana a better option than the dealership? Purchasing a car is a big decision, so paying for your new vehicle before having the chance to check it out in person is risky. When choosing to buy from Waldorf Toyota, you are supporting your friends and neighbors through local employment opportunities, our schools and law enforcement officers, and local businesses. Shopping at Waldorf Toyota benefits the community in many ways, such as:

  • We employ local people.
  • Our employees support local businesses, especially local restaurants.
  • Waldorf Toyota supports local businesses, like landscapers, towing companies, and many more.
  • Local tax dollars support schools, first responders, building and repairing streets and highways, and recreation improvements.
  • Waldorf Toyota donates funds to non-profit organizations.

Here are some other big reasons why buying a car through Waldorf Toyota is still the best car buying option:

We Offer the Same Conveniences as Carvana

While the traditional trip of browsing cars at the lot is still a popular preference, Waldorf Toyota also offers online buying options, contactless test driving and the Toyota Home Express home delivery service. As a premier Toyota dealership in Waldorf, we proudly offer these convenient buying options to allow our customers to shop for and purchase their new ride on their schedule. Waldorf Toyota strives to provide a stress-free car shopping experience that allows you to begin enjoying your new Toyota vehicle as soon as possible.

Personalized Service

While we offer the conveneince of online buying options, our sales personnel haven't given up on providing the personalized service that our Maryland customers desire. When you shop at Waldorf Toyota you'll have a direct contact that can answer all of your questions and assist you before, during and after your purchase. While Carvana offers responsive customer service, the personal connection you make when shopping at our dealership definitely offers a better experience that you'd get from virtual-only contact. This is one of the biggest differeces between shopping for a new vehicle at our dealership versus Carvana.

Upfront Inspection

It's difficult to notice minor scratches or dents in photos and impossible to know of any interior odors or other defects until the car is delivered or you pick it up. Finding these issues after committing to the new-to-you vehicle may be a deal breaker, which ends up costing you more time when you've got to start your car search again from scratch. While Carvana offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on its vehicles, the return process can take up to several weeks, especially if you don't live near a Carvana vending machine location. That means you'll be waiting even longer before enjoying your new vehicle. When you shop at Waldorf Toyota it's easy to closely inspect every aspect of the vehicle you're looking to purchase and make a more informed decision.

Haggle-Free Hassles

Some car shoppers don't like haggling with a car dealer, which could make a service such as Carvana more appealing. Their haggle-free pricing means that the price you see is the price you pay, but that doesn't always mean you're getting the best deal on your new purchase. When purchasing from Waldorf Toyota, you can often negotiate the upfront price to match or beat the online prices of comparable vehicles. And the specials or incentives that we offer on most models can help make a great deal even sweeter.

Keeping You Covered

Carvana offers a limited 100 day/4,189 mile "Worry-Free Guarantee" in addition to the standard manufacturer warranty. Once these restrictions have been surpassed you're responsible for taking care of any vehicle issue that arise, unless you opted to purchase one of Carvana's costly extended warranty plans. At Waldorf Toyota you'll find a great selection of Certified Pre-Owned vehicles that include manufacturer warranties and, when paired with your trade-in, offer an excellent value on a used vehicle.

Trust Waldorf Toyota

We think that the dealership experience we provide is more valuable that the conveneince offered by services such as Carvana.
