Sarasota County, straight up US-41

SRQ is in the name for a reason. Sarasota County shoppers make up a big share of Derek's customers, from downtown Sarasota condos to Venice and North Port. You get the same price whether you drive up from Englewood or walk in from Siesta Key — no zip-code games.

No-pressure, no-suit selling

Tell Derek the payment you want to land on and he will tell you honestly which vehicles fit. If nothing on the lot fits, he will say so.

Delivery down to Venice and North Port

If a 40-minute drive north is a hassle, Derek brings the vehicle to you for the test drive and handles the paperwork on site.

Second cars and commuters

Seasonal residents and students need something reliable and cheap to run. The budget end of the lot turns over fast, so ask what just landed.

What drivers say about Derek

I went to Cox Chevy with the intention of simply seeing if the Silverado line of trucks was comfortable for me. I was ready to buy, but had no expectation of buying that day and I found a deal that was too good to pass up. Derek Besemer was a fantastic salesman and helped me greatly without being pushy or controlling whatsoever. In the past, I have stayed away from dealerships because of the stigma. Cox Chevy absolutely obliterated that stigma. I will absolutely be back to work with him again.

Derek helped me out finding a vehicle that fit my price range with a no pressure and very pleasurable sales experience.
