Used cars for sale in East Hartford, CT under $20,000

Recently was looking to purchase a used minivan for our daughter's travels this summer. Could not find one in our neck the woods, but our regular mechanic suggested we contact Dan and Brian at Dan's Automotive. They listened to our needs, recommended a particular van, then went over it with a fine-toothed comb, making sure it was in sound working order. Above and beyond in their service-- addressed issues and tested car as if it were their own daughter preparing to use it. Cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you both!!

So fun to drive!! Exterior is sleek and stylish. Love the VW Golf!! Interior is very spacious for a 2 door with plenty of space in the backseat. Love the great gas mileage. Super cute car!!!

Recently bought a Range Rover from here and had an all round great experience. Amanda was pleasant to speak to on the phone and got me all set up for an appointment. I worked with Justin through the process and he was professional and easy to work with. Would totally recommend!

Great all around safe and versatile vehicle. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. I'm on my fourth Escalade now and miss the EXT model, at least they still make the ESV though new prices are getting scary.

Autumn 2017 purchase - and with manufacturer + dealer discounting - this brand new car was only $14,000 or so. Great on fuel (41 MPG City 60/Hwy40) Easy to use 5M, light clutch, good disc brakes. At 50,000 miles I've had ZERO issues

Great car price was fair Employees amazing Fast service perfect experience Drove from NY just for this special car Easy to work with and they were nice to my 130 German shepherd who hung out in the office

Great experience everyone was very helpful and got me the car I wanted great place to buy a car made it simple and easy for me to get n the car I wanted

Great Selection. Fantastic Customer Service. Sales people friendly & knowledgeable. Koster was mine, highly recommended. Owner was a Man of his word, vibration fixed at no expense to me, held Truck with deposit so I could put money together to pay cash. Couldn't be happier. Deal was thousands less than other Dealerships, got asked about my Truck but said Sold. 5 Stars all around.

This vehicle is even better than I had hoped for. So well maintained and so many great features. Drives really well. Excellent value for the money.

Peter really went out of his way to provide a stress-free buying experience. He even drove the car almost an hour away to get a second key for it! The car was in tip-top shape when I picked it up and I'm thankful for such an easy transaction!!

I like the vehicle - design, comfort, everything one would expect of a small pick up. Sense I've owned it I've experienced 4 different time of starting problems and lately there's become a problem with the door locks while truck is in motion. They will unlock and lock themselves while driving on the road. This vehicle has 67800 miles, mostly highway miles. with the 4 starting problems it's no rime or reason. I try to start it, it won't start, I walk away and come back in 10-15 minutes and starts right up. I wondering if the locks and starting problem may be connected. I replaced the battery about a month ago. Don't see any connection with starting problem to that. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Came in to look at a car, they have good prices and the manager Ken was very helpful, customer service was amazing, I recommend this dealership

i like this car, bets option to use incity. Accelerating very fast. Feeling like sport car. I test drived a5 40 tfsi and bmw4.30 even they have more HP as they are heavy they do not have accelerated well. That is my feeling that if you wanna drive fast and agile one this is the choice. 2 negative thing about this car and brand its internal design a bit low ceiling and if you are tall you do not feel comfortable inside. Another one is about Mazda brand not this model, battery is still being consumed by dashcam if you connect it to cigarette lighter and battery might be drained even the car is off.

The perfect experience, ask for Lorenc he will help you with everything you need. The car was just as in the pictures and Is working perfectly for e. Definitely recommend.

In 2002 they sold over MSRP adjusted for inflation @$54K in todays money- pricier than the 2002 Corvette and sold like 30,000 that year. I think that new car buyer had to probably be searching for the 1955 Thunderbird experience to shell out that kind of cash, and most people born on the 60’s and 70’s just didn’t understand that appeal. Oddly, the demographic that did BABIED their cars, kept up maintenance, have all the original tools and covers (just try and find that T-handle wrench for the hard top for example) when you get lucky enough to get a shot at buying one of these babies cars you’ll find they’re sharp and quick, amazingly so despite what people someone lent one to to write about said 20 years ago. Shod with 17inch tires 🛞 and solid suspension, people can complain about the horsepower being light, but stomp it and it will jump, zoom and weave solidly with the best of them. My drive home from buying this car was a blast. Will other sports models eke out slightly better speed, power and performance over these 20 year old T-birds? Sure, why not. Does it matter if you’re not at Road Atlanta? No. For me, this a sleeper sports car that’s about to bust onto the scene and see its reputation finally living up to the 2002 Car of the Year Award Motor Trend gave it. I think you need to find one of these babied sweethearts like I did. It’s a blast to find a good one and discover what an under rated blast it is to drive. Can’t really call it super nimble, but I respect mines solid ride and reasonably quick response & rocket like performance. The incredibly clean lines scream style visually and I suggest that a 2 tone leather optional interior is worth an extra $1K (over the basic. $11-12 K value) a hard top/rack/tonneau cover intact is worth another grand. ($13-14K total seems fair generally for a babied one). Check the rubber suspension parts underneath (inside the front wheel well behind the tire) is the easiest one to check quickly for rot w/o getting under the rear).

Happy with my purchased. Polite, knowledgeable, overall great treatment I experience in this dealership. I have no complaints. I highly recommend them. They went out of their way to make sure I was helped. I recommend without reservoir. I will definitely be back in couple of months.

I got my solstice for only $5000 with 36000 original miles on it. Checked car fax and it had oil change less than every 1000 miles by one owner and was barely driven by most owners. I’m the 6 th owner. This car is prestine. I could sell it amd make $8000. But I love it too much to do that. It looks more expensive than it was. It handles and goes around corners like no other. I don’t think it’s possible to roll this car. I do not have a turbo in it, I would just get in trouble. 170 hp 5 speed manual id fine for me. The miles will stay low because I live in tahoe and it’s got to be stored for the winter months. This car turns heads. Downside, if I have a passenger, there’s absolutely no room for anything. It’s not a car I would take on a long road trip unless you were alone. I drive it nice so far just because it’s in such excellent shape. The weight capacity on it is under 400 lbs. so if you’re a big person with a big spouse, the car wouldn’t be practical. I’m 110 lbs and my boyfriend is 200 lbs and that’s about the max load... especially if he has groceries piled on him. Definitely not built for a wider person. If you’re tall the car does have ample leg room and height with the top up. I call it my fun weekend car. That’s what it’s for, for a nice drive on Sunday or to go out and have a showy car on a Friday and Saturday night, maybe a solo shopping trip too. It’s definitely a fiat weather car with the rear wheel drive as well.

Always nice people to deal with, I've never had any problems with them. I've been buying toyota from them since 1973, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Service and sales have always been excellent 👌.

I am the original owner of my 2004 Toyota Highlander purchased with 8 miles on it ( my test drive miles =))... it currently has 419,100 miles. Original engine, transmission etc... Some upkeep throughout the years... but She's still pushing and running smoothly. What's the saying " til the wheels fall off" which shouldn't be anytime soon because I just purchased new tires last year. =))). Best vehicle ever, very reliable, sturdy, and fun to drive....we have been through a lot.

I came in the car i wanted was sold. When the honda was available again barbara called to let me know. Will send anyone i know to come get a car frim her. Her manager should hive her a day off with pay.

The car has the same engine as the Nissan 370z and is actually faster in a straight line even though it was 2 extra seats. Has an amazing exhaust sound and you can get a bit of wheel spin out of the car with it's 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Overall it's a luxurious, fun, and quick car with aftermarket potential if you're into that.

We love our new put of this world Kia Soul. Crowley folks, especially Will, were really great to work with.

I've only had it a week, but I feel like I've struck gold. This car drives and handles beautifully. Definitely a huge step up from my Kia Soul and I can't wait to road trip with it!

Ashley went above and beyond every step of the way making the whole process seem way easier than it should have! I would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome car buying experience.

No issues so far. All I’ve done other than tires and brakes is drivers front wheel bearing. Car drives very well. Maintained well too. By the book or Even better

Abbey Fitzgerald was amazing to work with. She was willing to do anything to make sure the process was as quick and easy as possible since I came from 2 plus hours away! Definitely one of the best car buying experiences I’ve had! Thank you again Abbey and the Modern Mazda team!

This is my fourth Mazda3 5-door. I have owned one of each generation and it's obvious they are now striving to reach the more luxury car buyers. I wasn't sold on the butt of the new generation until I saw the car in person. Photos really don't do it justice. My 2008 Mazda3 was a scrappy, fun-to-drive-hard, 5-speed manual. It has a place in my dream garage for the sheer fun of the drive. When I got the 2010, second generation, it added a sixth gear to the excellent manual shifter and was still scrappy and fun to drive. 2017 was the next model I purchased and it was a dramatic change from the prior two. Mazda kicked up the interior styling quite a bit and while the outside still looks like a 3, it received a good dose of "sexy" that the two earlier generations missed. The 2017 was my only automatic transmission and though I am tried-and-true for my manual transmissions, the auto did a great job of downshifting when I wanted (mostly), and the sport mode made the car more entertaining to drive around town. Note: when I drove the car in sport mode I never saw it shift into 6th gear so if you get on the highway it is a good idea to turn off sport mode. 8 months into my 2017 ownership I was cut off by someone and ended up wrapping the car around a street-light pole. The airbags deployed and me and my passenger luckily made it out without serious injury. The engine never stopped running and had to be turned off by the fired department after the crash. I feel safer now, having experienced such a bad accident and the car handling it so well. Once that car was gone I decided to go newer and get the 2020 model. Back to a manual shifter again, this car is the evolution of the Mazda3. The 2017 got a dose of sexy, but the 2020 has gone to etiquette school, and got an even heavier dose of sexy. Compared to the first and second generations, this car does not encourage me to drive the heck out of it, slamming through all of the gears while making the 2.5 liters scream. What it offers now is still a very engaging drive, but instead of scrappy, this car has a more grown-up feel to the way it handles. It clearly handles the twisties better than the 2008 and it does it with a quieter and smoother ride. I bought the Machine Gray, Premium with 6-speed manual and it's a beauty. My brother tells me that it looks sinister and I happily agree with him. I find myself wanting to just drive this car, like yesterday when I washed it then drove over 40 miles through the countryside to "dry" it. I bought the car four-hours from my home so got to experience how comfortable it will be for a road trip. It is the quietest and most comfortable of the generations and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to drive.

We were in the market for a 3 row suv and our online searches brought us to many local dealers with options with in our budget. We ended up in touch with sales man Steve Duffy, who helped us find 2 options with in our price point that would work for our budget. Steve was knowledgeable and friendly and helped make one option work out for what we needed it to for our budget and got the sale closed quickly for us. Of all the sales people we worked with Steve was the most personable, never was pushy and never tried to steer us outside of our requested budget. We highly recommend giving Steve a call to help you find a vehicle that works for your family.

This car meets my needs, is very reliable, comfortable and very safe. Has a lot of electronic features that make driving fun but also super safe.

I was looking for good reliable car and I found A forester for a really good price. The car was super clean and it drove great. My salesman Dave made my experience even better. He was very pleasant respectful and knowledgeable . They even saved me the hassle of going to the registry! I highly recommend them and I will return for my sons car! Thanks

This car is a big step up from a Nissan Altima. Lots of space and the ride is smooth. The engine is a bit noisy when idle(clicking noise from the direct injection), and there's also a drone sound when acceleratinf beyond 60mph(not sure if this could be cause of the new tires or not), but other than those noises, it's a smooth machine!

Although I did not end up buying a vehicle from Shelby Motor Cars, they have a fairly wide selection of cars with high mileage which was what I was looking for. When you put money down on a vehicle, make sure it is very clear what is to be fixed on the Buyer's Order and ensure everything was done before accepting delivery. My salesman was Peter, he did not return one phone call and my interest started slipping then. I spoke to another salesman, Mo(?), who told me dealer policy is money cannot be EFT'd into dealership's account, so I'd had enough and that killed the deal right there. There seem to be many phone numbers associated with the dealership which is great, but they ALL go unanswered, so what's the point? Again, the cars are what's important, and the vehicles they carry are as good as can be expected with the mileage. If you're on a budget, this appears to be a decent place to go. Apparently you must be willing to be persistent, which I was not.

This car never gave me any issues. Is very reliable and rides very smooth. I have made modifications to it listed in my listing. This car is for someone who enjoys cars and making modifications. The exhaust is louder than stock, but not too loud that the ride is not enjoyable.

I purchased a Nissan from Blasius Pre-Owned Auto in Waterbury CT. My sales person, Barbara was very helpful , she was friendly, Profession, and Knowledgeable. Note: I'm very happy with my purchased vehicle.

The Bolt is the perfect car for commuting and errands around town, particularly if you can charge at home. It is small on the outside but spacious on the inside (at least in the front seats). It is surprisingly peppy - you can easily get the tires to chirp in accelerating. On the downside, not all Bolts have DC fast charging, which would make it impractical for road trips and if you don't have home charging. Check charge port for the orange cap - that means it has DC charging. The Bolts with DC charging only charge at 55 kw, slower than most. Road trips are possible, but it will take an hour to charge every 250 miles. Overall, the Bolt is fun to drive, practical, and great value for money.

Today, purchased the 2013 Nissan Juke, 112,600 mile for $9,995 today. It will be ready Wednesday or Thursday this coming week. My sales person Amy was excellent. She knew I had a firm budget (retired) and she found two great vehicles to test. The Jeep I could have taken home today with less milage... a little older, however, Jeep mph versus the Juke..., Nissan won even with higher mileage. So far, I'm "a HAPPY CAMPER"! I can't foresee any problems from now until pick-up. So, I'd say, if you need a reliable used car, Amy is knowledgeable and, in spite of the packed waiting room with eager customers, we were never abandoned. Note; yes, the sales people had to multi-task at times. Understand, at these reduced prices, compared to any dealerships for used cars... Patience, just a little patience - and you'll be treated right too. All the best to customers in need of a new used vehicle!

Bought mine 4 years ago 128k miles now 150k fun reliable no major repairs expensive tires Not to good on snow fast 90 miles Get’s you in trouble

If you live and CT and are in the market for a used car, go no further. Best dealership experience I’ve had by far. Ask for Bob, he’s phenomenal. No pressure, no haggles. Just an honest salesman who’ll listen intently to your needs/budget and will take the time find you the right car for the right price - guaranteed. Their finance department will work hard to get you at the right rate. What are you waiting for?

I owned a pre-owned 2005 Crossfire Roadster black-on-black for 2 years as a second car. I'm 6'3" and the cabin was definitely tight, but the looks, quality, and fun-factor made up for it. Now considering picking up another one.
