Used cars in Bradenton, on Cortez Road
The lot is in Bradenton — 2900 Cortez Road West, between 34th Street and the Cortez bridge. If you live in Bradenton you are not shopping remotely: you can walk the rows, sit in three trucks back to back, and drive one home the same afternoon.
Derek Besemer works the used inventory here one customer at a time. Text the stock you want before you come and it will be pulled up front, air running, plate on it, ready for a real test drive down Cortez and out onto 41.
Lunch-break test drives
You are minutes away, so there is no reason to block out a whole Saturday. Twenty minutes is enough to drive two vehicles and get a trade number.
Salt-air inspections
West Bradenton and Cortez cars live in salt air. Undercarriages get looked at before a unit goes on the line, and Derek will tell you where a vehicle has been.
Trade in on the spot
Drive your current vehicle over and leave with a written number, whether or not you buy today. No appointment needed — just ask for Derek.
