Used Ford cars for sale near Columbia, CT under $8,000

Found the entire sales process to be easy, hassle-free, and absent of any pressure. Excellent service, would recommend

2014 Focus SE Hatchback bought in 2016 with 7500 miles. Its currently 2025 and 113k miles. The only repair issue was the TCM failure at 90k. I had to wait 3 weeks for the part to come in all the while unable to drive my only vehicle. Only other problem with this car is the heat shields have fallen loose and rattle. I have thought about replacing this car several times over the past 3 years. I've test driven many similar cars and haven't found any that drive much better. So I keep driving this car.

Want to thank dave once agian .After a month of me having my 2012 ford f150 he calls me today to tell me another set of keys for my truck showed up.Keys are very expensive to have programed so i was very happy he got me these.Thanks agian dave you guys rock!

I special ordered this car new while in Guam on military assignment. Had it shipped to hawaii where i drove it daily to work at the shipyard for 6 or 7 years. then, since i had need for a car at my sisters house in florida, i shipped it to CA and drove it to Ft Lauderdale where it stayed for another 6 years. In that time, I drove it back and forth across the country several times before finally shipping it back to Hawaii where it resumed its role as transportation to and from work and errands. In the entire time I have had it in 15 years, its not had single breakdown or mechanical issue. I am astounded at its reliability. Even the original battery lasted 11 years. the only small issue was i had a ignition key that was defective when it was new. Warranty covered it. but if it didn't, you can get that old type key for $15 online. then just recently, the little windshield washer pump quit. that was $35. Other than that, I have just done oil changes and tires. I did stop in a Ford Dealership in Utah when it was 12 years old just to inquire if i was supposed to do anything to it. they just said your supposed to change brake fluid every 10 years and I might as well change transmission fluid. So I did that. Note- I did recent research on other owners of this car or more specifically the 3.5 V6 Duratec engine which revealed a concern to be aware of. while its not happened to me and i see lots of owners with 300,000 miles or more on these cars, its said that the water pump design in the engine is behind the timing chain and when it goes out, coolant likely will seep into oil pan. If the owner is not alert to any oddities like engine temperature rising or strange noises and ignore this, and keep driving it with coolant in the oil pan, it could ruin engine. the thing is the water pump could go for 250,000 miles or longer or could go out in 80,000 miles. the water pumps are also difficult to change on this car. so its not like your just going to do it for preventative measures. Since this problem is hard to detect before its too late, i just am vigilant to always watch temp gauge on dash and be alert for any odd engine noises, etc, in case this ever happens to me. I also take a few seconds once a month to check oil on dipstick to see if any evidence of coolant getting into oil. From all I have read on these motors, they will last a long time if not for this issue. but you have to catch it early before it can cause damage to the engine. hopefully i will get several more years out of it before it starts needing repairs. I love cars like this one that don't break down. Driving wise, its like most of the other reviewers have stated. I wished the rear glass on the tailgate opened separately from tailgate so long boards and other such things from home depot could be put in the back without leaving entire tailgate open. Ambient road noise is not great either. the car itself doesn't rattle or squeak, even after all these years. but if your driving on concrete road or rough textured pavement, you are subjected to more road noise than I'd like. I am sort of measuring that by a tough standard. by comparison, its about as quiet inside as a Bmw 3 series or Jaguar x type wagon I have. But if I compare it to a Lincoln, the Lincoln is much more quiet and luxurious than any of those cars. But for me personally, I really like the quiet luxury ride of a Lincoln for which few cars can compare. I doubt many people will object to this but me. so i give the car a triple A rating but be aware of the water pump issue. might last you over 300,000 miles or more. but it might go out before that and you better catch it quickly before it damages the engine.

Very friendly sales people, no pushy sales tactics, treats you very well. I was driving by saw plenty of cars went it to check out they were very nice and helpful

Love the Energi version; had a regular one before which was handed down to our daughter. Very comfortable, lots of usable and versatile space inside for a smallish car. Great economy (we get close to 49 MPG as a daily driver).

This is my second car I bought from these guys I just bought a q50 for my son and he loves it and it’s cheaper than everywhere I looked thank you Charlie

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.

i bought a 2011 ford fusion and i love it the car is black on black its super clean and it drives like its brand new

This vehicle has been awesome from the day I first started driving it. Great on gas, engine is very responsive and reliable. A/C is very cold and the starts so nicely every time. The engine has all the power you would ever need. This one is a 2.0 Turbo. I have kept this car serviced regularly and it has performed flawlessly.

Like no other experience ever! Was greeted and made to feel at home by a lovely young woman who got a salesman named Dave to assist me with the purchase. Never once was I concerned with how much they were charging me,,why?because the vibe was genuine, honest ,just a down to earth regular guy .whatever he said he would do ,he did ,no B.S. whatsoever. I went there with my down-payment in hand and left 2.5 hrs later with my new car.thank so much Dave and Dianna ,I will definitely be back in a couple years and will highly recommend anyone else I talk to that they should do the same .oh yeah Dave is also one of 2 owners at Motor Car West.i thought that level of service was a thing of the past.

Bought new in 2007 and still runs and looks like new. As reliable as they get..only needed routine maintenance for 16 years. It's a simple car without much that can go wrong. Handles great, reasonably peppy and good fuel mileage. Still love it after all these years..not interested in a new car!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They walk you through every step of the vehicle purchase and explain everything thoroughly. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing I had made the right choice.

This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Very professional. Everything was taken care of. The attention to details is amazing. The price was fair. Everything was explained. Definitely the place to go!!!!

I owned the 2013 Fusion SE with the 2.0 Liter Turbo engine for 10 years, and I loved it. It even had paddle shifters! It got me where I wanted to go, never left me stranded, even started right up in 6-degree weather on a trip last Dec. where it spent the night outside. Everything worked reliably - only replacements have been battery & tires. I kept it well-maintained and garaged when home, so that helps.

Baker was great to work with. Made buying my truck a great experience. They went above and beyond with any needed repairs.

I hadn't had a Ford in years but I'm happy with my Transit Connect Wagon. Previously owned a Honda Element but the Connect has done its job.

Our sons ‘04 Tahoe was a great first vehicle and gave him over 300k, but when it came abruptly to its end of life, we were scrambling trying to find him something safe and reasonably priced. After searching cars.com we saw a few listings that seemed like good prospects at Full Throttle. We took the road trip up and it has been well worth it. They had a large selection of trucks giving us a lot of options to consider. The guys there listened to exactly what we were looking for, explained their warranty policy right up front, answered any questions we had. The bonus was our schedules were a nightmare and we were over an hour away but Baker came through in a big way for us making sure every detail was taken care of and made it work around our schedule so that we could finalize everything and bring our “new” Chevy home. Top notch all the way around. They really make a used truck purchase feel like a brand new truck purchase experience. Check them out. You won’t be disappointed!! We will definitely be back!

car performes well , overall satisfied with it , but it has a rust issue ! rust under the rear wheel frame on both sides , rust under the rear lift gate , chrome on the wheel reems peeling .

I had such a good experience at prime wheels! Jay was so nice and patient with me, even though my BD wouldn’t shut up and was so annoying the entire time Jay was patient and friendly constantly lol !! He let me test drive many vehicle until I found the one I really liked. They made my purchase a pleasant Stress-free experience. All of their cars are pretty clean and very reasonably priced, much lower than all these other, high-priced dealers around. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family and returning to do business with them again!

Purchased the car with 20,000 miles and the engine had to be replaced at 42,000 miles, Ford paid to have it done. Other than that the car has been very good.

Manar and Alex made my experience buying my 2016 Volvo XC 90 a piece of cake the car was serviced before I got there, I will definitely be buying my next car from here and I told all my friends and family to come here, they will be satisfied. A big shout out to central East Windsor ct.

Hi, 👋 I am currently an owner of a 2012 ford fusion SE & I can assure you that I feels very fortunate to have such an amazing reliable vehicle as I do now ! Recommending this is vehicle as an owner of am Ford Fusion, would be absolutely absurd if I did not! What such an amazing car that the Ford industry has manufactured!! Shout out to you guys "Ford" thank you so much for an outstanding job! Absolutely loves the remote start control, after starting remotely still having too insert the key for switching gears to drive. Very amazing, without the key inserted, once you place your foot on the brakes to try to change gears the engine kills, to me mu opinion am very safe an outstanding security setup for car thefts to be prevented. Especially for the cold winters and needing my vehicle to be warmed and the engine going for when I get in my car the heater wouldn't need time to warm up. I have such relax and ease knowing my car is fine being started while me not being inside of it, that no-one can drive away with my vehicle with having the keys inserted. Yet my car was gifted to me but my grandfather but wow such an amazing gift ever !! I say very sincerely, stating that this the every 1st car reviews I've ever done after having many 🙏💛

Let me start with this: I did not go into this VW before it was overtaken by the Gengras brand, so I cannot compare it to what it once was. However, what I can say is I walked in one day, thinking about buying a new vehicle, and the next week I had the Atlas of my dreams, all thanks to Tom, the GM, and Dom, the sales person. My girlfriend and I went in to get a bigger car as our family had grown, and the Atlas - with its safety ratings, gas mileage, size, and style - was 1 of 2 choices for us (the 2nd being a Telluride, but the service at our local Hyundai was TERRIBLE, and it turned out to be too small). We walked in on a Saturday hoping to test drive one and size it out for our dogs (when I said family, did you think I meant kids?). They were very short staffed - only 2 salespersons were on that day, when they usually have 4 or 5, but due to the recent buyout some of the people had left to other Crowley locations. We were assigned Dom, who was helping another customer, and we said it was fine and would wait. Tom, the GM, said no way and had us sit down and he went over everything about the Atlas - ratings, size, reviews, pricing, and options/packages. When Dom was ready for us, the Atlas we were to test drive was ready to be taken out on the road for both of us to drive around town and on the highway. It was love at first handle and honestly, thanks to our experience at this VW, we are never driving a different brand and will be buying my girlfriend her own VW next winter. I can agree that there are several pictures of the new owners around the building - but you know what? That's called branding, and if they are happy with how their smiles look, posters of themselves do not hurt customers and they show that they put their image on any action that occurs in the store, which is honestly comforting if you are worried about customer service. When you do go in - which you should - talk to the people helping you out just as much as they do with you. We learned that Tom and his wife are avid wild mushroom hunters (really cool stories!) and Dom is hilarious with "dad jokes" and puns for everything. As someone who has purchased a vehicle from this locations, I have not received one email in the last month from them so I do not know of any spam emails. But I also have gmail - and it sorts out spam for me - so maybe it's in there and I just use technology to the best of its abilities.

This car has more features that some I never used. The navigation system is defendant plus but the best feature is extremely low. My average cost is $20 per month.

Koster at Full Throttle was very thorough and worked around my schedule for the new truck

203K miles and I have done next to nothing to my Sport Trac outside of regular maintenance. I wish Ford still made this truck, I have a 4X4,

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

Drives like a dream, gets me amazing gas mileage, and it is one of the most stylish vehicles I have ever owned. Definitely can't go wrong with this vehicle.

Love my Charger! Henri Michaud was my salesperson. Very attentive and good natured. In fact, everyone there had a great attitude from reception to finance. Plus a cool showroom. Thank you Papa’s Dodge!

The Ford escape we just purchase from varsity Ford in novi is outstanding along with their sales people. The sales people were awesome. They were professional and courteous and the general manager Jerry law was outstanding. I would recommend going to this dealer and purchasing this Type of car. car They will go out of their way for you to make your car buying a good experience.

I recently purchased a used 2015 Toyota 4Runner from Full Throttle PowerSports. Overall, the experience was mixed but worth sharing for others considering buying from this dealership. Pros:
The sales team was friendly and low-pressure, which made browsing their inventory feel relaxed and comfortable. If you're someone who doesn't like being hounded by pushy sales tactics, this is a good place to go. They also have a unique and interesting selection of vehicles on the lot. Baker from the dealership stood out for being especially fair and reasonable when post-purchase issues arose. Suggestions & Cautions:
While the customer service was pleasant, I didn’t receive much detailed information about the vehicle itself, so I highly recommend doing your own research before heading in. Be prepared with questions and know the car’s background in advance. Communication-wise, skip the online chat and email—neither worked well for me. Calling the dealership directly is the best way to get a timely and clear response. I did run into some problems shortly after bringing the vehicle home, including needed repairs that continued over a few visits. Thankfully, Baker was helpful in resolving things fairly, but I can’t recommend their service department based on my experience. One big red flag came during financing. Rodney, who handles that side (under Prime Wheels), insisted I had to purchase a two-year warranty—costing nearly $3,000—or my loan through Westlake would be denied. This is absolutely not true; I’ve been approved by Westlake at other dealerships without being forced into buying a warranty. I felt pressured, and while he did lower the cost to fit my budget, I only agreed out of desperation and convenience. Bottom Line:
If you're looking for a no-pressure buying environment with a cool selection of cars, Full Throttle is worth a visit—but do your homework ahead of time, be cautious during financing, and don’t rely on their service department. With the right prep, you could walk away with a solid deal, just stay sharp and advocate for yourself.

This Truck so far has proven to be what we needed.We bought this Truck with over 200K,on it,in great shape,Runs like new one.We have had to replace few NORMAL items,and just today new rear calipers.little concerned about the RECALLS ,but bought it to hallows 44 foot RV and Hall it does.

Bob Jeffers provided excellent customer service and helped take the stress out of finding the right used car at a reasonable price, for me. He was very knowledgeable and up front. I would definitely recommend Enfield Street Auto Sales. Thanks again Bob, You Rock!

I love this car! I bought it used and have had it 3 yrs! I love the pick up and gas mileage! Very pleased w my little suv!

I recently purchased a 2011 Ford Escape. The car was in great shape and was true to it's description. Staff was friendly and all paperwork was done quickly.

bought it w 61000 miles 5 sp std. handles likes its on rails i drive it hard, fun to drive great on fuel a family friend has a 08 with 177000 miles and has spent little on parts, he does his own service work great 2nd car took it from bc canada to vegas and back without a berp, great car as good a a corolla but fun to drive

I have been very happy with everyone at Prime Wheels. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I purchased one car in February and returned to purchase another in April. I have been very happy with the service and the fact that they honor what hey say. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a used car.

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title. Was hit in the front. Only replacements I’ve made since purchase is the radiator and brakes/rotors. It gets me where I need to go. Good for the price I bought it. Currently has 169,000 miles on it. Can definitely drive for longer. I see many complaints about conditions of their car but that all depends on the previous owner.
