Used cars for sale near East Meadow, NY under $5,000

I purchased my 2013 Kia Sorento LX fwd (3.5L V6 engine non GDI) used with 36,000mi. It now has 167,000mi. (mix of city and 1000+mi road trips). It's had very few issues, and it's still running strong. The 3.5 engine seems very durable. I change the oil and use only high quality full synthetic oil and filter. The few minor issues include limited life for front turn signal/head light bulbs, slightly stiff suspension, and easily stained fabric seats. The suspension and steering seem pretty durable as well. I only use Michelin Defender tires, and I've gotten 95,000mi out of them. It's never needed an alignment.

I recently purchased a lexus gs350 and I must say I had a great experience the service was courteous professional and they help me out with no discrepancies the car runs great and runs in excellent condition, I would definitely recommend to someone looking to buy a new or used car.

This is the first keep I have owned. So far I am not disappointed. Performance and comfort is good. Perfect for my pup and I.

Great customer service , dealing with Dre was a smooth experience and very professional, was able to drive off the lot with a car

I love my Kia Optima, yes there's been a lot of recalls for Kia "but" they stand by there warranties. ("As long as you have followed warranty guidelines.")

Just moved down to Garden City, and been shopping around for vehicles. Noticed this place as the only used car store in Garden City. Took my 2 sons here, we drove around few cars. Gentlemen here were phenomenal and we also were able to get registration and plates on the same day. Looks like I’m going to be here in NY for awhile, these guys convinced me to stay longer with the beauty of getting approved for a car! Thanks again to the experts at VK AUTO GROUP!

Nicely designed inside and out. Much mote cargo space than I thought it would have. It passed the road trip test too.. I have no complaints about it.

This is my 3rd pt cruiser and my 1st pt gt and for a little 4cly with turbo she moves really well it does great around town and so far has been great on long trips am very happy with it

Out of all the cars I've had in my lifetime, my 2016 Nissan Sentra is the best car I've ever had. Purchased it in 2019 with 32,000 miles on it it only now has 57,000 Miles, the only thing that I've had to do on this car was replace two tires front and back brake pads and that's it and of course keeping up with oil changes and routine maintenance.but literally nothing else. Would I get a Nissan Sentra again absolutely.

Own a 2004 with over 330,000 miles. It just keeps running. As a landlord, I use it somewhat like a truck, it holds tools in the rear. Can transport 4x8 sheets of drywall and plywood with some shuffling. Hauled 1200 lbs of concrete bags behind the front row seats many times. I use the 3rd row for passengers. Have removed the second row and never replaced them. Change the oil every 5Kmi because that interval is easy to remember. And the typical timing belt and water pump (while exposed) every 100K. Just let the dealer do the brakes, they last years and don't wobble. Of course the automatic doors gave out at 200K, but you kind of expect that. They still work manually. A few strange items like a steering rack at 150K and vent window hinge gave out around then. And the drivers seat heater gave up. The problem is that this van is so good, I really hate to replace it. It's a good problem to have. I'm not hauling concrete in a brand new $50,000 Sienna.

Purchased this car used in 2017 with 42k on it. Currently at 144k has the 2.0l and AWD. I’ve switched immediately to full synthetic, done coolant flushes, and changed all fluids. We have 2 Escapes now 14/16 both with 2.0 and AWD. Love them. We do the preventative maintenance. Hopefully we hit 300k. Most of my previous vehicles have done 266k and 400k.

Just an easy processes. Bought a car for my daughter fer month ago it was a 2015 Honda Accord. Everything worked out great. Car runs like a champ and my daughter is very happy with it. Thank you Kbb

Very versatile with room for 7 or fold down the seat and have room to haul almost anything. I've only ever had to do routine maintenance. Nothing has ever broken on this car.

I bought a 2008 escape hybrid from a government auction-it was used as a fire department vehicle in Denver Colorado. The hybrid version is the best in snow and bad weather due to its extra battery weight of 300lbs over the rear tires. Overall I haven’t had any real issues except for having to replace the hybrid battery that you can get a rebuilt better than oem for a fraction of what ford would charge to replace. This vehicle is awesome and will go just about anywhere and is good on gas for an suv.

If you can find one. We bought this one used. It for a sale on a lot in 2020. We had it for 3 years this pass July 2023. We’ll keep it until it can no longer run. I’ve been all over in this car. Love it.

I've purchased this car for $1700 used, and I thought it was pretty great deal especially for a volvo. What I love about the car the most is it's 2.9 L, turbo charged inline 6. The engine makes driving it really exciting when you put your foot down, but at the same time giving you good gas mileage as I can usually get 27 mpg out of it. If you want to have and extra bit of fun, hold down the STC button as this will turn the traction control off. The interior is very comfortable as the seats are leather and heated. The speakers are of pretty good quality. Not to mention the sun roof is a nice feature if you want to drive around on a cool spring day. The exterior itself is very attractive for a luxury sports sedan, especially with volvo's signature of an oddly looking yet lovable front end. This car isn't perfect however as I have a few complaints with it. For example, even though it has a turbo charger it does have pretty bad turbo lag as it usually doesn't kick in until you're at least at 4,000 RPM. Moving to the exterior, there are tiny wipers on the bottom set of headlights. Not only do they look ridiculous, but they also don't work. Even though the ride of it is comfortable that is only due to the comfortable seats as the suspension feels a bit as if its made of cement. Also there is the winter driving mode. The feature is very help as it starts you off in a higher gear so your rear wheels dont end up getting so much torque that they're struggling for traction. The button to activate it though is put on the opposite side of the gear label. From where it's placed I can't tell whether or not i've activated it without looking up and over my gear lever. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase as it is reliable, comfortable, and fun to drive. It also makes for much more of an interesting first car instead of a Honda Civic.

Happy with the car . Have all the safely and I really like the way it drive . Easy to park on the street .

This is the spot! They sell cars for cheap and also offer a financing service. I was able to purchase a nice Honda for the low and got approved easily!

Bought this car in 2003 and it is still going strong in 2025 after more than 180000 miles. Lots of interior space. Outstanding reliability, never let me down in 20+ years. Needed some replacements of consumable parts: shocks, exhaust, radiator. Above all, it is still a pleasure to drive!

I am in love with my new car. It is a 2008 but it looks brand new. It has been taken care of very well. All the bells and whistles work. It is roomy and comfortable for myself and my husband. Can’t wait to take it on a road trip.

These guys are great. Very honest and trustworthy. They delivered on all their promises. Both the car and the service were excellent.

I got a 2001 Mercury Sable GS that just turned to 320,000 miles on it, only thing I ever had to replace was the alternator bout 7 years back, starter 3 years back and radiator a year ago but thats because a Turkey vulture smashed into it. Other than that it putters along amazingly, very controllable and useful. It doesn't give up and I'm hoping it will take me farther, my goal for it is to get to 400,000. I bout it for 600 from a friend, best 600 dollars of my life, that was years ago.

I didn’t buy anything but the people I talked to were great , very friendly and knowledgeable .

I own a black 2010 station 903. My second Saab. Still driving great. Maitanance haha, 150 € every year. Can tlill tow my heavy trailer 1,5 ton . Try that whith your E-car after 14 years , success

I bought a used 2004 Acura MDX some time ago and the car has worked very well for me and I am more than satisfied with the vehicle I'll probably be back next time I need another used car

Since 2014 I have purchased FOUR Fiat 500L's. The first was an Easy Model. With manual transmission. As a base model I was suprised at how much fun it was to drive. I traded it in 14 months later for a 2015. This was a lounge. In 2017 I bought another for myself and my wife has the 2015. I bought another 500L Trekking. I then traded the 2017 in. With two 500L's in the driveway I have a manual for my wife and automatic for me. These cars are functional and fun to drive. The easy model lacked navigation and Sirus and auto temp. Often joke they are so ugly but cute. If Fiat still made the 500L I'd buy another. I do not like the 500X as the rear area was reduced in size. It's not often I can't load a oddball size item in them. Each car has been dependable and easy to maintain. At 71 years old I'm not easy to please. I hope this helps. When I bought the first consumer reports did not rate the car very kind. I then sent a strongly worded letter to them. I lost respect for them.

Amazing dealership! Have been leasing my car with them for years. Please consider them for your next car!

I'm the 2nd owner of a 4-door Yaris sedan w/manual transmission. I've owned it 7 years & it currently has 121K miles. Nothing has gone wrong mechanically outside of two serpentine drive belts & a new clutch. My preventative maintenance has consisted of new tires, synthetic oil changes (Amsoil oil), one major tune-up @ 100K miles w/manual transmission oil change, and recent freon. My air conditioning + heat both work great. The trunk is huge for storage. The ONLY minor annoyances are the sloping front seats & dashboard because things serm to slip off. Several mechanics have told me that this car has a problem-free 1NZ-FE engine which can easily last 300,000 - 400,000 miles with proper care. Is this car fast & zippy like a Mazda? (Um, no...) But is it reliable, practical, made in Japan, with good mileage? (Yes..!) The 2009 Yaris is also rated "AWESOME" on car complaints dot com 😀
