Buying a Toyota at Bommarito Toyota in Hazelwood, MO
A first-party walkthrough of buying a Toyota in Hazelwood, MO — from online reservation and test drive to F&I, Missouri titling, and delivery.
Buying a Toyota at our Hazelwood store follows a clear path: browse inventory online or in person at 9095 Dunn Rd, reserve or build your deal through Bommarito FastPass, take a test drive, finalize financing and trade-in numbers in F&I, then drive off with your keys. Missouri buyers then have 30 days from the purchase date to title the vehicle and pay sales tax at the license office.
How does the Bommarito Toyota Hazelwood buying process work in 2026?
The process has four stages: shop, structure the deal, sign, and deliver. You can do stages one and two entirely online through Bommarito FastPass, which lets you reserve a vehicle in five easy steps and complete more of the buying process on your own schedule. The final signing and delivery happen at our Hazelwood showroom on Dunn Road.
Most buyers walking into our showroom have already done the heavy lifting at home — picked a trim, run numbers on a trade, and gotten pre-approved. That's why FastPass exists: it lets you do the parts that don't require a key fob in your hand before you ever visit. When you arrive, the focus is the test drive, the walkaround, and the paperwork — not starting from zero at a desk.
What happens when you first arrive at our Hazelwood showroom?
You'll be greeted by a product specialist, shown the specific vehicle you're interested in, and taken on a test drive on the roads around Hazelwood — typically a mix of surface streets off Dunn Road and a short run on I-270 so you can feel highway behavior. There's no scripted pitch before you drive. You drive first; questions come after.
If you reserved through Bommarito FastPass, your vehicle is pulled up and ready. If you're walking in cold, expect a short conversation about what you're trying to accomplish — commuter, family hauler, work truck, weekend car — before we point you at inventory. With over 800 quality pre-owned vehicles on the ground in Hazelwood in addition to new Toyota inventory, narrowing the field matters.
How does pricing and model selection actually work?
Pricing starts from Toyota's MSRP for the trim you choose, then adjusts for destination, any dealer-installed accessories, your trade-in value, and applicable incentives. The lineup spans everything from $23,325 (as of September 2026) at the efficient end to the 2026 Toyota Sequoia, starting at $65,725 (as of September 2026) for a full-size three-row — most Hazelwood buyers land somewhere in the middle.
A few starting points from Toyota's current lineup to anchor your budget conversation:
| Model | Starting MSRP | Typical buyer |
|---|---|---|
| the 2027 Toyota Corolla, starting at $23,325 (as of September 2026) | — | First car, commuter |
| the 2026 Toyota Camry, starting at $29,600 (as of September 2026) | — | Daily driver, hybrid available |
| the 2026 Toyota RAV4, starting at $31,900 (as of September 2026) | — | Compact SUV, all-weather |
| the 2026 Toyota Highlander, starting at $46,270 (as of September 2026) | — | Three-row family SUV |
| the 2026 Toyota Tacoma, starting at $32,545 (as of September 2026) | — | Mid-size truck |
| the 2026 Toyota Tundra, starting at $41,260 (as of September 2026) | — | Full-size truck |
| the 2027 Toyota Prius, starting at $28,755 (as of September 2026) | — | Max fuel economy |
MSRPs above are Toyota's starting figures and don't include destination, taxes, title, registration, or any dealer-installed options. For current incentives, lease programs, or financing offers, check the specials section on our website — those terms change too often to publish accurately in a guide.
What should you expect in the F&I office?
The finance and insurance (F&I) office is where you sign the buyer's order, finalize your loan or lease, and decide on optional protection products like extended service agreements, GAP, tire-and-wheel, and prepaid maintenance. Missouri does not grant a general three-day right to cancel a vehicle purchase at a dealership, so review every line before you sign.
If you're financing, bring a government ID, proof of insurance, and proof of income if your lender requested it. If you're trading in, bring the title (or payoff information if there's a lien), both keys, and the owner's manual. Our privacy policy, posted on the financing page, does not allow the renting or selling of personal information to third parties without customer consent — that applies to credit applications too.
How are Missouri taxes, title, and plates handled on a Hazelwood Toyota purchase?
Missouri does not collect sales tax at the dealership on vehicle purchases. You pay sales tax, title fee, and registration at a Missouri license office within 30 days of the purchase date. Missouri's state vehicle sales tax rate is 4.225%, plus the local sales tax that applies at your home address — which varies by city and county across the St. Louis region.
Miss that 30-day window and Missouri assesses a $25 late-title penalty, with additional penalties accruing for further delay up to a stated $200 maximum. We'll give you a temporary permit and the paperwork you need; it's your responsibility to get to the license office before the clock runs out. Buyers coming in from surrounding counties or farther out should factor the drive to their nearest Missouri DOR office when they plan the trip.
What warranty coverage comes with a new Toyota from our Hazelwood store?
Every new Toyota is covered by Toyota's factory warranty: 36 months or 36,000 miles of basic coverage and 60 months or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage, whichever comes first in each case. On top of that, Bommarito Toyota offers a no-charge 10-year/200,000-mile nationwide warranty and 5 years or 50,000 miles of free maintenance on every new car purchase.
The 10-year/200,000-mile coverage is a dealer-offered program distinct from Toyota's factory warranty, so confirm the specific terms, exclusions, and claim process in writing before you sign. The free maintenance program covers routine service intervals during the covered period — one of the real reasons many Hazelwood owners keep servicing with us after the sale.
What do customers say about buying here?
Reviews consistently point to the specialist-level attention during the sale rather than a transactional feel. A recent five-star review:
You 100% have to use Sam for sales! He made purchasing my new car such a fun and easy experience! He was friendly, communicated well throughout the entire process, and made everything feel smooth from start to finish. I’m so grateful for his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new vehicle. Thank you, Sam!
That kind of feedback reflects what we aim for: the mechanical parts of a car deal are standardized, so the experience of being guided through them is where the difference actually shows up. Bommarito Toyota has won Toyota's President's Award for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, which recognizes dealerships that meet high standards across sales, service, and customer experience.
Frequently asked questions
Can I complete the whole purchase online?
Yes. Bommarito FastPass lets you reserve a vehicle in five easy steps and complete more of the buying process on your own schedule from our website. You can structure the deal, submit a credit application, and value your trade online. The final signing and vehicle handoff happen at our Hazelwood store at 9095 Dunn Rd.
How long does the in-store purchase take once I arrive?
If you've pre-structured the deal through Bommarito FastPass, the test drive, F&I signing, and delivery walkthrough can often be completed in a single focused visit. Starting from scratch at the showroom typically runs three to four hours because you're adding product selection, test drives, trade appraisal, and credit review on top of the signing itself.
What do I need to bring to buy a car?
Bring a valid driver's license, proof of insurance for the vehicle you're buying, your method of down payment, and — if trading in — the title or payoff information, both sets of keys, and the owner's manual. If you're financing outside our dealership, bring your lender's check or approval letter. Missouri plates can be transferred, so bring your current plate information if applicable.
Do I pay Missouri sales tax at the dealership?
No. Missouri collects vehicle sales tax at the license office, not at the dealership. A $25 late-title penalty applies after the 30-day deadline, with additional penalties up to a stated $200 maximum for further delay.
Is there a cooling-off period if I change my mind after signing?
No. The federal Cooling-Off Rule is not a general three-day cancellation right for cars purchased at a dealership, and Missouri does not provide one either. Once you sign the buyer's order and take delivery, the sale is final. Review every document carefully in F&I and ask questions before you sign — that's the time to resolve concerns.
What are Bommarito Toyota Hazelwood's sales hours?
For current hours of operation for our sales department, please contact us or visit our website directly. If those hours don't fit your schedule, use Bommarito FastPass to move the deal forward online and come in only for the final signing.
