Why Buy a Used Car from Marion Toyota?

Market Based Pricing   
Market Based Pricing is what customers have always asked for when buying a car (a better, simpler and less stressful buying experience).  It's based on 2 principles.

1.  An Up-Front, Fair and Aggressive Price
2.  A Transparent, Simple and Honest Sales Process

The Internet is a huge part of our business at Marion Toyota.  We realize, that to compete in such a large global marketplace, our pre-preowned vehicles must be priced right.  That's why we use state of the art technology to compare our vehicles against similar vehicles in the internet market.  We use this technology to evaluate and adjust prices daily.  So you can always be sure that the Marion Toyota Market Based Price is the right price.  It's another dimension of Market Based Pricing and it's why:
Market Based Pricing at Marion Toyota is an easier, less stressful
and Better Way to buy a vehicle.

Vehicles You Can Trust
When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle from The Auto Giant, you'll not only get a great deal, but you'll get the CarFax  vehicle history report and the service history for that vehicle.  Plus, most vehicles with less than 125,000 miles come, with a 3 month / 3,000 mile limited powertrain warranty included in the low Market Based Price.

Above are two examples of how figures might be presented to a customer
when buying a vehicle. Although the difference that you pay is the same, buying a car the traditional way can be very confusing for the customer.  The dealer never fully discloses how much of the trade allowance is their discount, and how much they are actually paying for the trade.  So the customer never really knows if they are getting a good deal on either one.
Market Based Pricing at Marion Toyota discloses both the actual cash value of the trade-in and the actual cash price of the car to the customer.  It's why our customers say:
Market Based Pricing is an EASIER, LESS STRESSFUL and
BETTER WAY
to buy a vehicle.

Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

"The "Fair Market" pricing system used by Marion Toyota essentially eliminated the need for any extended negotiation.  We always use the Consumer Reports information service for data about true dealer costs.  The Fair Market Price was within about $100 of that figure, so it was very simple to agree on the final price"

D. McClearey, Goreville, Illinois

"I wouldn't normally drive 100 miles looking for a car, ...but I was glad I made the drive. I wish all dealerships, and their employees were exactly like yours."

S. Donald, Freeburg, Illinois

"I feel like I am someone special at Marion Toyota. I am not just a customer, I am a royal friend. I love to come to get my car serviced. There is literally no one who makes me feel so pampered and appreciated as Marion Toyota. "
