Best Used Vehicles Based On Price: $5K, $10K, $15K

The best used vehicle for one person will be different than the best used vehicle for another individual or family. However, our team is ready and willing to help you find the car, truck, or SUV that fits your needs. Let us know if you're looking for a safe car for your newly licensed teenager to drive or want something larger to use for towing when your fuel-efficient sedan won't cut it. We can help you sort through the currently available options on our lot and answer any questions you have about financing. The following offers tips for discovering the best used vehicle for your lifestyle.

Best Used Cars Under $15,000

Our team's selection of used vehicles comes from trade-ins from other customers that we carefully assess for quality in order to price them competitively. This means that our selection is constantly changing, but also that you can find hidden gems here that you can compare and contrast against each other – a process that is much harder if you try going through private sellers instead.

Ask our team to introduce you to options for the best luxury used cars under $15,000 if you want to treat yourself. You might be able to find vehicles with heated front seats or a heated steering wheel for more relaxing drives in the winter. A hands-free power liftgate and a rearview camera can offer you a lot of conveniences. Meanwhile, high-quality infotainment offerings will make your long journeys feel all too quick.

Since safety is, in itself, a luxury, you might also want to explore our best AWD used cars under $15,000. While FWD vehicles aren't unsafe, they may be harder to control in slippery conditions or on uneven terrain, which might not be the best for your family if you often contend with snow or rough-hewn roads.

While it might be hard to find a certified pre-owned vehicle at this price point, you can discuss the matter with our team. Trading in your own car can help lower your overall costs so that you might be able to look at our used vehicles under $20,000 while still meeting your budget.

Our certified pre-owned inventory is special in many ways. Not only are the items found here held to the highest of standards among used cars, but they also come with special warranties to back up their quality. In general, these vehicles tend to be newer models with fewer miles logged on the odometer, too, which means that when you get behind the wheel of one, it may be the start of a long, beautiful friendship.

Best Used Cars Under $10,000

For many people looking at this category, their priority is finding the most reliable used cars under $10,000. We give you as much detail as we can to help you make an informed decision. For example, you are free to review our selection's CARFAX® Vehicle History Reports™ to give you a sense of where each car has been and the care that it has received. We can also give you an estimated life span for each vehicle to help you determine how many more years it might have in it based on the current number on the odometer.

Keep in mind that while many people prefer cars with as low mileage as possible, this number should be commensurate with the car's age. Most Americans drive their vehicles about 15,000 miles a year. Therefore, if a car is five years old and has less than 75,000 miles on it, it might be a good deal. However, a vehicle that has been noticeably underused can have problems stemming from being left undriven for long periods. For example, batteries can experience damage under these conditions. Luckily, our team of experts is there to help guide you.

Best Used Cars Under $5,000

Finding the most reliable used cars under $5,000 is just as important as it is for a higher budget range. While the cars in this category are likely to be older or have more miles on them than the vehicles in the previous section, you'll likely recognize that a lot of the model names are still appearing as new models today. That is because brands like Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, and Dodge automakers have been producing popular vehicles that prioritize quality from the beginning.

In addition to our reliable used cars having good bones, we also staff highly trained and certified mechanics at our service department, who can be your long-term partner in keeping your new-to-you vehicle healthy. They can give you tips on how to get the most out of your purchase through your driving habits, as well as provide quick and efficient service, like oil changes, brake pad replacements, and more.

Those on a budget should also prioritize fuel-efficient cars when they can. FWD sedans and crossover SUVs can have better fuel economy than their AWD or traditional SUV counterparts since they are typically lighter vehicles. This can help you save significantly at the gas pump over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many miles does a used car typically have if it's under $10,000?

It is not uncommon for a car under $10,000 to have around 100,000 miles on it. However, a lot of vehicles make it to the 200,000- or even 250,000-mile mark when driving under normal conditions and well-maintained. At an average of 15,000 miles a year, that means you could spend a decade with this steal of a vehicle.

Can you buy a used luxury vehicle for under $15,000?

Our selection of used vehicles comes from trade-ins, meaning that we might not always have luxury used vehicles available at that price range. However, we might. We might also have used vehicles that are technically not from luxury brands but contain luxury features, such as heated seats or large touch-screen displays. Tell our team what amenities you're looking for specifically so we can guide you to your best options.

What is the best used car under $5,000?
