Used Inventory Contact Us

Buying a used car is more than just taking a quick spin around the block. At Westshore Honda in Tampa, FL, we believe that finding the right used Honda means looking beyond the test drive to ensure it matches your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Whether you're shopping in Clearwater, Lutz, or right here in Tampa, we’re here to help you make a confident, well-informed decision.

Step 1: Define Your Budget

Before you start browsing used Honda models, it’s essential to determine how much you’re comfortable spending. Consider both your monthly payment and overall vehicle expenses like insurance, fuel, and maintenance. At Westshore Honda, our finance team can help you explore loan options and find a monthly plan that works for you—no guesswork required.

Step 2: Prioritize Your Needs

Are you looking for fuel efficiency for commuting between Tampa and Clearwater? Need space for the family with weekend trips to Lutz? Knowing what matters most will help narrow your options. Here are some popular used Honda models to consider:

  • Honda Civic: Great for everyday commuting and exceptional fuel economy
  • Honda Accord: A midsize sedan with advanced features and comfort
  • Honda CR-V: A versatile SUV ideal for families and weekend adventures
  • Honda Pilot: A three-row SUV with ample room and power for larger households

Our sales team is happy to walk you through each model’s features to help find the best match for your budget and lifestyle.

Step 3: Look for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Options

Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles offer the perfect blend of quality and value. Each CPO Honda at Westshore Honda goes through a 182-point inspection and includes warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and vehicle history reports. It’s a great way to enjoy peace of mind while staying within budget.

Step 4: Explore Vehicle History and Service Records

At Westshore Honda, we provide CARFAX vehicle history reports on every used Honda we sell. Our team can also walk you through the vehicle’s maintenance history and any reconditioning we’ve performed. Transparency is key to helping you make a smart purchase.

Step 5: Take the Test Drive—and Ask Questions

The test drive is important, but it’s just one part of the process. During your visit, ask about previous ownership, available warranties, and future maintenance expectations. Our knowledgeable team will give you a full overview of the vehicle and ensure there are no surprises.
