Used cars for Palmetto, just over the river

Palmetto sits on the north bank of the Manatee River, which puts the lot about ten minutes away down US-41 across the Green Bridge. Close enough that plenty of Palmetto and Ellenton customers come back for their second and third vehicle.

Palmetto shops differently than the beach towns: work trucks, tow-capable SUVs, boat haulers, and honest commuter cars for the run up to Tampa. Derek knows which units on the lot actually have the towing package instead of just the look.

Towing done right

Boat at Snead Island or a trailer for work? Ask Derek for the tow rating on any listing before you drive over and he will check the build sheet, not guess.

Work trucks and vans

Palmetto and Parrish trades come in for cargo vans and half-tons that hold up on job sites. When one lands it usually moves fast, so ask what just arrived.

One trip, paperwork included

Financing can be started before you cross the bridge so the visit is a drive and a signature, not an afternoon in a waiting room.

What drivers say about Derek

“High level of integrity and honesty coupled with a solid desire to ensure the customer gets the best deal and best vehicle fit for them and their family.”
DealerRater ·
“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.”
