Benefits After You Buy

Toyota Finance

Whether you want to purchase a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle for yourself, or your business, you can get behind the wheel with finance from Toyota Finance[P7]. There is a range of flexible finance options to suit almost every need and circumstance, including a Toyota Access secured car loan that gives you lower monthly repayments[F9] and the certainty of a Guaranteed Future Value[F2] equal to the final repayment on your vehicle. Simply talk with Downtown Toyota, and you can arrange your car finance conveniently at the dealership.

At Toyota we've gone out of our way to make sure that buying a top quality Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle is both an achievable and rewarding process. As a result, finance options are available on these vehicles to assist our guests.

Toyota Service Advantage

If you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Toyota with remaining scheduled logbook services, you may also have access to Capped Price servicing.[T1] This means you'll pay the same low Toyota capped price service from one logbook service to the next. It provides eligible Toyota Service Advantage Pre-Owned Car owners peace of mind from unexpected service costs and is just one of the benefits of purchasing an Eligible Toyota Service Advantage Pre-Owned Car.

Your Toyota Service Advantage works like this:

  • You will pay no more from one logbook service to the next for a minimum of the first three years or 60,000km [B20], whichever comes first.
  • It covers the remaining eligible scheduled logbook services including all items covered in your service schedule such as labour, fluids, and Toyota Genuine Parts with a 12-month warranty[T15].
  • It ensures that only Toyota-trained mechanics work on your car using specialist Toyota diagnostic equipment.

Statutory Warranty

A Statutory Warranty is just one of the many benefits associated with buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Toyota strives to assist all Certified Pre-Owned Car buyers in as many ways as possible.

As proof of how much faith we put in your Certified Pre-Owned Toyota this is what we include in our Statutory Warranty [P8]. All States and Territories legislate a 3-month/5,000 kilometre statutory warranty for some specified preowned vehicles (excluding Tasmania, where 3 months/3,000 kilometre warranty applies). This warranty starts from the day of delivery of the vehicle and will cover most items on a car relating to safety, reliability and roadworthiness. This is on top of whatever warranty may be remaining on your vehicle. A Statutory warranty helps protect you against mechanical failures and breakdowns, now that's peace of mind and that's our promise to you.
