About Us:

Florida Direct Auto is an independent used vehicle dealer in Jacksonville, Florida that specializes in clean, hard to find vehicles at wholesale pricing. We have been in business here in Jacksonville since 2010 and between the 4 of us we have over 30 years of experience in the business, 10 of which has been in online sales. We keep our prices competitive because we have low overhead and we are run like a well-oiled machine. We trim out the unnecessary spending that a lot of other dealerships have and we also do volume instead of trying to make it all on one unit. All 4 of us are passionate about vehicles and we do our homework on each vehicle. As a business owner, I don’t want to put my hard earned money into a bad vehicle, so we actually drive and inspect the vehicles before we even purchase them.

We are approximately 20 minutes away from Fernandina Beach, which is a great place for a relaxing vacation with plenty of nice views of the ocean, golfing, great dining and plenty to see and do. A lot of customers from out of state (which is about 90% of them), like to sight see and make a vacation out of their vehicle purchase. Places like Daytona Beach, Saint Augustine, Orlando (Disney World, Universal, Epcot, etc.), Tampa Bay (Clearwater Beach, Busch Gardens) and more are popular spots.

If you have any questions about buying a vehicle or how the process works or just need some reassurance that we are a real company, please give us a call. We are Licensed, Insured, and Bonded with the State Of Florida so you can feel confident that your buying experience will be smooth as silk and pain free.

 

 

 

Vehicle Pickup & Shipping

 

Vehicle Pickup:

  You can either drive to our location with another driver, rent a car and drive it one way (We are right next to the airport so we can pick you up free of charge at the rental return), or you can fly in and drive the vehicle back and we will pick you up at the airport free of charge as long as you provide us in advance with your flight information.

 

Shipping:

  We can get you a shipping quote if you provide us with your zip code. We set the whole thing up to where all you have to do is take delivery from the transporter. Shipping is door to door so it comes right to your house or business, unless you have special instructions to ship it elsewhere. We do not use a broker so we cut out the middle man, which saves our customers anywhere from $100-$700 on shipping, depending on the vehicle and location so we will beat most shipping quotes that you get. Shipping typically takes 5-7 Business days but can vary depending on the time of year, vehicle size and delivery location. We are located right off of I-95 so it is very favorable for shippers, which makes the shipping cheaper since it is convenient.

 

Deposits:

  Deposit amount is $500 and is due within 24 hours at the close of auction or immediately if you use the Buy It Now feature. Deposits are not refundable unless there is a major mechanical issue with the vehicle (for example, a slipping transmission or an engine that is overheating or knocking but not for simple routine maintenance issues like brakes, tire tread depth or cosmetic issues like scratches, dings or imperfections on the exterior or interior) and we do this to protect ourselves from non-serious buyers. We pay a lot of money to list vehicles on here and we simply cannot afford to pay relisting fees because someone changes their mind or the vehicle doesn’t drive like they thought it would. We’ve been doing it this way for 7 years and we’ve rarely had any problems because we describe vehicles accurately, but as for every aspect of life you cannot please everyone unfortunately.  

 

Vehicle Description:

2006 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4WD

 

*We have installed a brand new Bilstein 3" Lift kit with medium duty coils and 5100 Adjustable shocks to give it that lift to clear the brand new 285x70x17 (32.8") Falken Wildpeak AT4's!  What's great about this setup is it has the looks and capability of an off road rig but has the comfort of the everyday driver and that is why we choose to use the equipment that we use. The suspension isn't stiff and handles just about anything you'll throw at it with it having so much travel and the Falken tires are rugged but don't ride rugged. The ride quality that you expect from a Sequoia was not sacrificed, it still rides really smooth and handles bumps very well. We've also installed a new TRD Pro Style Grille with amber lights, Black crystal headlights and corner lights along with yellow fog lamps to really set this truck off! This really is a nice setup and in awesome condition as you can see in the 250+ high resolution photos and HD videos below.

*Only 171,000 Original Miles on this VERY WELL dealer maintained Sequoia! The timing belt service was done at 162K Miles in 2023 so it is not due for another 80K miles. This saves you around $1,500 in the near future so drive away with peace of mind knowing it's been done. This is a very good value for the condition with new upgrades so don't hesitate because these typically don't last but a couple days before someone snatches them up. Call or text me at the number below. 

*Full Carfax located below showing this Sequoia has 47 dealer service records. This Sequoia has never been flooded or sustained any kind of hurricane damage. Clean and Clear title 

 

*We've gone through this Sequoia and road tested it to be sure that it is road worthy and ready for a new home. Trust me, I would not put all this money into an SUV I didn't think was worthy of such expenses. If you truly want to buy this rig, pick up the phone and call or text James at the number above to discuss buying this SUV before the auction ends, most auctions do not go the entire distance and rarely sell on Ebay.

 

*Interior options include: Power windows, locks and mirrors; Power/Heated premium leather seats (Comfortable and in great shape) with drivers seat memory, Sunroof, Diff lock, Cruise control, Steering wheel controls, JBL Stereo with Navigation/CD/FM/AM, Rear DVD player, rear privacy glass, Tilt steering, 3rd Row Seat, Center console with plenty of cup holders and storage

 

*Exterior options include: Mud Flaps, Fog lamps, luggage rack with cross rails, alloy wheels with brand new Falken Wildpeak tires, Painted rear spoiler, Towing package, etc. 

 

*Mechanical: 4.7L V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. The engine runs strong with no issues, the transmission shifts smooth through each gear, the 4x4 & diff lock works as it should and the A/C and heat work perfect.  

 

*Please take a look at the 250+ HD pictures and 2 HD videos of this SUV below to get a good idea for the condition of the vehicle, it is in great condition.

 

*If you are looking for a nice SUV with mild modifications to do some light off-roading or trail riding and want to also have the benefit of a luxury vehicle this is a perfect candidate!

 

*If you have read through the description and looked through the 250+ Pictures and watched the 2 HD videos of this Sequoia and still have questions about the vehicle or how the process works you can give me a call or shoot me a text at the number above. I take a deposit of $500 and hold the vehicle until you can pay the balance. I can also set up shipping for you or pick you up at the airport here in Jacksonville as a courtesy. Thanks for checking out my listing!

This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type.

***TITLES***

   Our titles are held by what is called a Floorplanning company, they hold the title for us until the vehicle is paid for. Once the vehicle is paid for they overnight the title to us and from that point we then mail it to you (USPS Priority with tracking). We are Bonded in the State Of Florida so we have to provide you with a clean and clear title unless stated otherwise in the description of the vehicle. Most of the titles go out in 2 to 3 days after purchases, some take a little longer but we do our best to get it out as quick as possible. Most of the time we have copies of titles and can provide them to you or your bank. Please call (904)-571-1241 to obtain a copy.

Fees and Taxes

 As far as taxes are concerned, we do collect your state sales tax. So for example, if you live in Alabama the tax rate is 2% so you will pay 2% taxes to us and we will give you an out of state sales tax credit form that you take with you to the DMV showing that you have already paid your state taxes of 2% (or whatever your state tax rate is). You will be responsible for any county or city surtaxes (usually .5% or 1%), we just collect state taxes because Florida is reciprocal with 47 of the 50 States. Please call us to see if your state is reciprocal with Florida and also to see what your state sales tax rate is (some states have 0 sales tax rate, but you must be registering the vehicle in that state). We ONLY COLLECT TAXES if you are coming to pick up the vehicle, if you ship the vehicle we DO NOT collect your taxes.

 As far as Fees, we have a $299 Documentary fee which we collect to help cover costs for Cleaning vehicles, Preparing vehicles for delivery, Inspection, and mailing fees for paperwork, titles etc. This fee is non-negotiable, if you are a dealer and win the vehicle on Ebay you are also subject to this fee, if you are a dealer and want to purchase the vehicle minus the fee you must call us first. 30 Day Temporary tags are $5.95 and are good in any state and Canada. If you are registering the vehicle in Florida, we collect your taxes (state and county) and we also do your tag and title work so you do not have to go to the DMV to register the vehicle, we do your plate transfer and title transfer. If you have any questions about any of these fees, please call (904)-571-1241.
