If you are searching for used cars in Kildare, it helps to know what you are buying, who you are buying from, and what protection comes with the car. This guide walks through everything worth checking before you commit, and explains how buying an Approved Used Toyota at Toyota Naas differs from buying privately or from a general second hand dealer.
Toyota Naas is the only authorised Toyota sales and service dealership in County Kildare. We are based on Sallins Road in Naas, a short drive from Newbridge, Sallins, Clane, Kilcullen and the wider Kildare area. Every used car on our forecourt is prepared by the same trained technicians who service new Toyotas, which is not something a private seller can offer.
Why buy a used car in Kildare from a main dealer
A used car is one of the bigger purchases most people make, and the difference between a good buy and an expensive mistake usually comes down to history, preparation and after sales support. Buying from a main Toyota dealer gives you a few things a private sale cannot:
- A documented service history and a clear record of any work carried out before the car went on sale.
- A multi point inspection completed by trained technicians, with worn parts replaced rather than overlooked.
- A warranty on the car, so a fault in the first months of ownership is our responsibility, not yours.
- Finance arranged on site, so you can compare monthly options before you decide.
- Part exchange, so your current car can go towards the price of the next one.
What is a Toyota Approved Used car
Toyota Approved Used is the manufacturer's scheme for quality used Toyotas. To qualify, a car has to pass a detailed inspection covering the engine, transmission, brakes, electrics, bodywork and interior. It also comes with a warranty and roadside assistance, and the mileage and history are verified rather than taken on trust.
In practice this means you are not relying on a stranger's word about how a car was driven or maintained. The inspection is the same standard across every authorised Toyota dealer in Ireland, so an Approved Used car in Naas is held to the same checklist as one in Dublin or Cork.
Used Toyota models to consider
The right used Toyota depends on how you drive and how many people you carry. Here is a plain guide to the models people in Kildare ask about most often.

How to check a used car before you buy
Whether you buy from us or anyone else, these are the checks worth doing. We carry them out as standard, but it is useful to understand what they cover.
1. Confirm the service history is complete and matches the mileage on the clock.
2. Check that the NCT is valid and ask when the next one is due.
3. Look for evidence of regular servicing rather than long gaps between stamps.
4. Ask whether the car has any outstanding finance, which can be verified before purchase.
5. Take a test drive on a mix of roads, not just a short loop, and listen for anything unusual.
6. Check the warranty terms and what they cover, so you know where you stand after the sale.
Part exchange and finance
Most buyers in Kildare trade in their current car rather than sell it privately. Part exchange is straightforward: we value your car, agree a figure, and put that towards the price of the used Toyota you are buying. It saves you the hassle of advertising, viewings and timing two separate transactions.
Finance can be arranged on site, with the options explained in plain terms so you can see the monthly cost before deciding. Our finance team can talk you through what suits your budget. There is more detail on our finance calculator page.
