Used cars for sale near Dixon, IL under $8,000

We were able to work with Mr. Peter Powers for the second time to buy a new car. He was amazing and not judgmental or pushy on the sale. He helped my husband find an amazing truck within our price range and our preferences (and let me tell you, we are picky). The sale only took a couple of hours and he great and efficiently with our active family. We would recommend Peter to any and all that are seeking a new or used vehicle.

Before my grandpa passed away in September 2023, he had it in his will to give me his 2012 Impala. I got his car as a Christmas present that year. Since then, I've enjoyed driving the old Impala. A car with 300 hp AND 30 mpg on the highway? Yes! Thanks, Grandpa, for your love of American cars! Thanks, Chevrolet, for making such a great car! I love how roomy my car is, how great the audio system is, and how relevant the Driver Information Center (DIC) is! I highly recommend this car to anyone.

Great experience with Schimmer! Erin Lauer was quick to respond to my requests, every time! Will definitely consider them for my next purchase.

it’s been a pretty good car so far, some minor issues but overall pretty good. mine used to be apart of a fleet (it has 120,000 miles) and i think it’s a pretty good car. the insurance is higher because it’s discontinued which is a bummer. i’d say do your research before you buy which i wish i would’ve done but it’s over now so oh well.

Found a great deal on an Explorer and I knew I had to make it mine! Came to Dixon and Gigi was awesome!! 10/10 would recommend

Purchased this Fusion from a guy that won it in Fords 47 mpg picture contest. It has been the most Reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It had maybe 30 miles on it when I purchased in Jan 2013 and now has 154000 miles as of 8/2023. Still has original 12 v battery. Lifetime average mpg has been about 43 mpg. On my 3rd set of tires and only did rear brakes and rear camera replacement.

Going through a tough time with divorce wife keeping car staff was great getting me the finances I needed and into a car I needed thank you

We had our 2013 Ford edge for many years had zero problems with it until a stupid driver parked next to my husband and totaled the car. He wasn’t even in the car but until then it never gave us any trouble. We decided we would buy another ford edge which is a 2018 and beautiful. Hopefully we’ll have the same luck with this one.

We came in inquiring about a specific car. It was ready for us when we got there. We test drove it and liked it. If we had any questions, and Robert didn't know the answers, he found the answers. It was a little rocky, but Kunes made the deal happen. We let them know what needed to be done to get the deal done, and thru some negotiations, it happened. The staff even stayed late for us so we could drive the car home the same day. We appreciate them and are very pleased. Thank to everyone who was involved in this deal!!

I own a 2013 Altima with technology package sport mode use shifting flippers to shift at red line v6 270hp flat out flies for a Sudan.

Great experience, great people to work with and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend friends and family!

I purchased my BMW Z-3 (6-liter engine) when it was brand new, 1998. It is the BEST car I have ever owned. (I've had Mercedes Benz, Thunderbirds, Corvettes in the past.) This baby is now 25 years old, and has 71,000 miles on it. I bought the hardtop for it, and keep it on the car all the time now. (Too much trouble to take off and put it on the rack in the garage.) Very few repairs were needed in the past, and I've had the oil changed, etc. every year, purchased new tires like the original Michelins, and kept this car garaged. I also purchased a BMW luggage rack, and a BMW hard suitcase that snaps onto the rack, because the trunk is small. I am a small woman ("ole lady now") and this car has been perfect for everything from long road trips, to maneuvering around town into tight parking spaces. It is classic black, and I STILL get compliments on it every single day!!! No, it is not for sale.

Everyone at the dealership helped make the process of purchasing an out of state vehicle painless!

I have had my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4 4.0 Stepside for 14 years.I had to put a transmission in it about 6 years ago.Regular maintenance, still going strong and I have put a lot of miles on it I love my truck.

I went to work one morning and didn’t realize I had a flat until I had other employees asking what my vehicle looked like. Once I confirmed it was unfortunately mine, I reached out to Ken Nelson who was able to pick up my vehicle at my work, put my spare on, take it to their shop, fix my tire (plugged and not replaced!), return my vehicle to my work and sent me an invoice to pay after I got off work. It was like it never even happened and they took care of all the hassle for me! Could have been a really bad day trying to figure that all out after a 13 hour shift. They have amazing customer service! And I didn’t even have to get a new tire! 10/10 recommend!

Bought car 2013 chevy impal Ltz 30,000 miles , after 218,000 miles change transmission but now motor still same at 281,000 miles this car it bullet proof really good on snow with good tires and good on gas

Isaiah and Steve were able to put me in a beautiful suv. The experience was great. Will definitely go back to them again in the future.

I have the 2019 Nissan Sentra SV Special Edition and the ride and seats are very comfortable. Gas Mileage is great in the city using the Eco mode which I use a lot. I got up to 36 miles per gallon in the city. I added some System48Plus to the oil crank case and now I'm getting up to 40 miles per gallon in the city! I bought the car certified and it had no recalls so I decided to buy this one. Some of those other 2019s had a recall. The front of the car looks amazing sporty! The thing that's not as good would be the performance which I don't need as long as I am saving gas but I am getting a better puck up since I added that engine treatment as well as better gas mileage. The only other thing that could use improvement would be the sterio speakers and l will probably just change that to Boise speakers. Overall it's a great looking and dependable car.

Good experience. Friendly and professional sales and service departments. Quick to the point and transparent

We traded our 2012Optima because of a brake issue the dealership couldn't find. I could've scanned the ABS myself but it was under warranty, so after MANY times to that dealership we switched to another and decided to trade it in and get a 2012 Sorento. The salesman assured us the CARFAX said the car was seviced including all the major components and specifically said,Engine, Transmission and complete driveline,within the 1st month we had oil consumption issues which was diagnosed as a bad engine after being stranded with it,we also had complained about the transmission having issues with it on a few occasions to the dealership now we're getting close to our 10 year warranty period and I'm worried that we'll be stuck with the bill. Our dealership now are awesome they do whatever they can to do right by us. So maybe I'm being paranoid but a couple thousand $$$ isn't something we can afford. We want to keep it if all is good,and might buy a used Kia again in a couple of months it all depends on what happens here.

This was my third vehicle purchased from Ken Nelson. The price was fair, the procedure went well, everyone was polite and professional. The sales rep, Chris Morgan, spent several months looking for a vehicle that would fit my needs. With his patience, one was found. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. He did a great job finding mine. I'm happy with the purchase and driving the vehicle is quite an experience with all the new technology on it.

THIS CAR SAVED MY BRAIN! Was recently T-Boned and a car with lesser safety design would have left me brain injured. The 2010 CVT is the best model year made due to beefier components. Mine rarely used oil, though some will. Almost always broke EPA mileage estimates in highway. Surprisingly capable off road. Superb in snow/rain. Saved Brain and nothing else matters!!!

Nate was awesome to work with! Best sales guy by far! Definitely be back to work with him everytime.

Great little car, roomy on the inside?..I got it in 2017, it’s a 2014 Chevy captiva lt. I get the oil change every 5,000 or less miles. Synthetic Blend. Walmart oil change...*best prices *. I got it with 54,000 already on it...it was loaded with problems...my son noticed it had 4 different tires...I had just glanced...it stalled on and off the freeway I called up the dealership Rocky or Rocks on main st. In El Cajon.. .*I told them pick it up...get all matching tires..stop it from stalling...they were ho, hum...I said.don’t waste my time...lemon law will help if u don’t. It took 2 days...I only had the car less than a week. They had me test drive it in 3, I didn’t pay attention to that..they did Not let me take it out on the highway...* that’s a red flag... the tires lasted 1 1/2 years...they were cracked. * I didn’t know tires have year number on them. I always buy. Discount tires. All weather Michelin..with 70,000... I had them on my truck they lasted 90,000 miles with many more thread wear... they wouldn’t rotate them.. they also told me ...they no longer make the 70,000... I said o really...well then I will buy them at Sears across the street... lol . back to the car...I do hear something knocking... I do drive 70s. Sometimes 90...0ops..on long trips or when there’s no one on the freeway...and I do check the fluids...weekly...I noticed the water gets used I make sure I always have the mix ready..and after long drives... been in cars when I’ve hear loud knocking...and saying to the person...don’t turn off the engine...put some oil in...spending 8.00 at a gas station for a qt. Of oil to save ure engine...hello... u have to put oil in...to save the engine...do check your engine...if you’re going a little faster...the car has get up and go if you’re using it as manual...I tend to forget...I’m using it that way..so I just use it in drive. As far as the sockets I noticed...they run down your battery..and turn off when the car is turned off, and having the radio or anything else on when starting your car wears down your battery in any car..maybe electric short? Another thing I learned...what does cranks mean when buying a battery? Buy the more cranks and take care of it...don’t give anyone free jumps.. a tow service will charge..a tow service... I use my solar battery pack. Also, having your phone in any car left on blue tooth drains automobile battery. I had my son install a hitch to my car...it protects people from marina...plus I have a nice hitch bike rack...for my grandsons bikes, Hope this helps.
