SmartBuy Pre-Owned Vehicles: Confidence and Quality

Redefining Used Car Buying in Boone

Searching for a reliable vehicle often brings up concerns about hidden histories or mechanical issues. At Modern Toyota of Boone, we have eliminated that uncertainty by introducing our SmartBuy program. This initiative ensures that every driver visiting our showroom in Boone encounters a transparent, risk-free environment. We believe that purchasing a vehicle should be an exciting milestone, not a gamble. By prioritizing quality and accountability, we provide a selection of pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs that meet rigorous standards before they ever reach our lot.

The Modern Difference is more than just a catchphrase; it is a commitment to standing behind every vehicle we sell. Whether you are commuting from Lenoir or navigating the mountain roads closer to home, you deserve a car that performs reliably. Our SmartBuy philosophy is built on the idea that Confidence Comes Standard. This means we handle the heavy lifting—performing deep inspections and providing comprehensive history reports—so you can focus on finding the right fit for your lifestyle.

Program Overview: The Core Pillars of SmartBuy

Every SmartBuy vehicle is prepared to deliver transparency, quality, and long-term confidence. Before a vehicle earns the SmartBuy designation, it undergoes a rigorous 150-Point Quality Assurance Inspection by certified technicians, with careful review of key systems including the engine, transmission, braking system, and suspension.

  • 150-Point Quality Assurance Inspection by certified technicians
  • CARFAX Vehicle History Report included for transparency
  • Professional hand-wash, wax, interior cleaning, and reconditioning
  • Precision paint touch-ups and paintless dent repair when needed
  • Internet Value Pricing based on real-time market data
  • Full tank of gas provided at delivery

Every buyer also receives a comprehensive CARFAX Vehicle History Report, which details past ownership, service records, and any reported accidents. This documentation allows you to make a choice based on facts rather than guesswork.

How the SmartBuy Process Works

For pre-owned shoppers in Boone, Lenoir, Jefferson, Crumpler, and the High Country, the SmartBuy process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free:

  1. Browse our pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs online or visit Modern Toyota of Boone at 225 Modern Dr.
  2. Review the CARFAX Vehicle History Report and SmartBuy tier details for your chosen vehicle.
  3. Take advantage of Internet Value Pricing based on thousands of automotive websites polled every hour.
  4. Use our online trade-in tool to understand how your current vehicle may impact your budget.
  5. Complete your online credit application to begin the financing process.

Not quite the right fit once it is in your driveway? Our 3-Day/300-Mile Vehicle Exchange Program allows you to exchange your vehicle for another in-stock SmartBuy pre-owned vehicle that better suits your needs.

Navigating the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Tiers

The SmartBuy program organizes pre-owned vehicles into three distinct categories based on age and mileage so you can choose the level of coverage, condition, and value that matches your needs.

  • Gold Tier: Fewer than 80,000 miles and less than 8 years old. Includes 12-Month/12,000-Mile Powertrain Coverage, 1-Month/1,000-Mile Platinum Coverage, two keys, and a $0 deductible.
  • Silver Tier: 80,000 to 120,000 miles or 8 to 12 years old. Includes 3-Month/3,000-Mile Powertrain Coverage, two keys, and a $0 deductible.
  • Bronze Tier: Over 120,000 miles or older than 12 years, with vehicle age calculated by model year. Bronze vehicles remain focused on value while still meeting SmartBuy quality standards.

Whether you are looking for a nearly new SUV or a budget-friendly sedan, this structure gives you a clear understanding of the vehicle’s history, classification, and protection level.
