Manatee County home lot for used cars
See local listings in Manatee →Cox Chevrolet sits on Cortez Road West in Bradenton, so Manatee County is home turf. If you live in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Parrish or out toward Myakka City, you are a short drive from the whole lot — and Derek will bring a vehicle to your driveway for the test drive if that is easier.
Same-day test drives
You are minutes from the lot, so a lunch-break test drive is realistic. Text the stock you want and it will be pulled up front and running.
Trade-ins appraised on the spot
Bring the vehicle you are driving now and get a number before you leave. No appointment required — just ask for Derek.
Built for Manatee driving
Beach sand, Cortez bridge traffic and summer storms are hard on a car. Every pre-owned unit is inspected before it is listed.
