Purchase a Quality Pre-Owned in Ocala at DeLuca Toyota

Many of our customers ask us how to maintain and service their used car to keep it running like new. One of the great things about Toyota SUVs, cars, and trucks is how long-lasting they are. Used Toyota Corollas, Toyota RAV4s, Toyota Tundras, and other Toyota models regularly last beyond the 100,000-mile mark. When your Toyota gets to that esteemed level, you'll want to make sure to keep it well-serviced so it can make it to its 200,000th mile and beyond. Deluca Toyota's service department is here to help you keep your Toyota in great condition – read on to find out how. more Monthly Maintenance Checks You Can Do at Home Every month, or even more often, be sure to check the tire pressure, oil level, and coolant level. Top off the oil with synthetic oil formulated especially for high-mileage cars. Finally, clean the backup camera lens with a rag. It's probably also a good idea to wash your car every few weeks, or monthly. Washing the accumulated dirt and grime off your Toyota does more than keep it looking great – it can protect the paint from peeling and rust from forming on any exposed metal parts. Every 3,000 Miles Changing the oil is the most important thing you can do every 3,000 miles to keep your car running smoothly. You'll also want to replace the oil filter, check the washer fluid level, and add fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank next time you fill up. Every Six Months Check the power steering fluid level and top it off if needed, and wax your car (that's if you've not been waxing the car with the monthly washes). Every 5,000 Miles If you've got a manual transmission Toyota, get your clutch adjusted every 5,000 miles. Some clutches are self-adjusting, so you might not need to do this – when in doubt, check your owner's manual! Every 10,000 Miles Inspect all the belts under the hood of your vehicle and replace them if they look frayed or stretched-out. Have the tires rotated, too. Every Year On your car's birthday (or the anniversary of the day you bought it), there's a number of maintenance tasks to accomplish: Inspect the brakes and check the brake fluid level Clean the battery connections Inspect hoses and clamps If your car is a manual, check the transmission fluid Check the coolant strength Back-flush the radiator with a garden hose from the engine side and rinse off the air conditioner condenser Buff the headlight assembly Replace the cabin air filter (if you drive a lot, replace it more often – every 15,000 miles) Every 30,000 Miles When you're about a third of the way to your second 100,000 miles, you should do the following: Check your spark plugs and replace them, especially if they weren't replaced before you bought the vehicle If your car has a distributor cap and rotor, replace them Change the transmission fluid If your vehicle is a late-1970s to early-1990s model, replace the oxygen sensors Perform a bounce test for the shocks, and inspect them for leaks Clean the throttle body Replace the PCV valve Replace the fuel filter Flush the coolant system and check the battery electrolyte level, replacing it if the levels are low. Every 60,000 Miles and Beyond At 60,000 miles, you'll want to replace the air filter, change the automatic transmission fluid (if applicable), inspect the brakes and accessory drive belts, replace the timing belt, and inspect the front-end alignment. At 80,000 miles, inspect your Toyota's u-joints. At 100,000 miles, replace the oxygen sensors if your vehicle was made after the mid-1990s. Also, replace the rear-axle lubricant. You should also regularly have the alignment adjusted to extend the life of your tires and suspension.

Summer is the perfect time of year for a new car: the sweet sea breezes, summer sun, and new-found free time invite you to take a drive to one of the beautiful beaches near Ocala. Of course, if you’re a savvy customer, you understand that “new” doesn’t have to mean more than “new to you!” more A used truck, car, or SUV carries almost all of the benefits of a brand-new vehicle, with few of the drawbacks. And with Toyota’s Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program, you get the assurance of the same reliability as a new car. Plus, by buying used, you avoid the fabled drop in value from driving a new vehicle off the lot, while still enjoying modern perks and technology. Toyota Reliability Means Peace of Mind Toyota is widely known to build some of the most reliable and long-lasting cars on the road. There’s a reason why so many older cars still on the road are used Toyota trucks, cars, and SUVs: they’re carefully fine-tuned for reliability and longevity, so they hold their value better than most other cars on the market. And with the TCUV program, you can be afforded even more peace of mind when buying a used truck, SUV, or car. A Certified Used Toyota is more than just a used car. It’s subjected to a 160-point inspection ensuring its quality hasn’t been compromised by its previous owner, so you feel like you are driving off the lot in a brand-new Toyota. Even better, the Certified Used warranty covers repair at a Toyota Service Center, as well as offers 24-hour Roadside Assistance, in the event of a problem. Certified Used Toyota cars are guaranteed to be younger than six years old, with fewer than 85,000 miles, so you’ll have lots of time to enjoy your used Toyota SUV, car, or truck. Get more value out of a used car It’s probably pretty obvious that used cars are cheaper than new ones. What might not be so obvious is how much value used vehicles can still carry, even throughout their lives with you. New cars depreciate more quickly than old cars, meaning that if you buy a used car, truck, or SUV, your vehicle will actually keep more of the value you paid for it over time than if you’d bought new. On average, Americans save $14,000 by purchasing a three-year-old car over a new one. Not only will your initial pay-out and car note payment be lower with a used car, you can insure it for less as well. Add to that the cheaper licensing, registration, and inspection fees in many states, and it really can make a lot of sense to buy used. Pick up a used SUV, truck, or car in Ocala today!
