Used cars for sale in Golden, CO under $5,000

The team there was friendly and the car was decent for it's price. Overall I found something else but it was good experiance and good information

Bought my 02 QX4 6 years ago with 86,000 miles on it. My wife drove it daily while attending nursing school and it has been a wonderful SUV for both of us. Last year during an ice storm here a 3 month old battery went dead, car sit for 1 year (we have 2 other vehicles) and today I finally replaced the battery and it started right up. Went to town and replaced the oil and filter and bought new set of tires. Runs perfect. I am 72 years old and this is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.

great people Carlos was great. thanks guys. good with cars. works great with people. Carlos was helpful and answered every thing I needed. keep up the great work guys.

This car is the most comfortable ride! I love the room it gives you, and runs smooth! So far it's been very reliable. I feel safe in this car.

Easy process. The manager Kenya was friendly and very accommodating. Showed me good cars with no dashboard lights, ran great, found the one I wanted and they threw in anew battery for free. whole process took 2 days. Fair and honest dealer.

Best VQ engine, adaptability to mods, rides smooth, good torque, great engine power. If you have this car fully loaded it’s one of the best vehicles to own. The only thing that sucks about these cars is the transmission ends up slipping on these models after 100k miles.

I went to Econo Auto and they were very helpful to me and they let me know what it would take to get a car, and Ali did a follow up call with me and that was very nice. I do plan on buying a car from there very soon and I would recommend Econo Auto to friends and family. Thank you

I’d bought my 2004 xc70 with about 122,000 miles on it. It was well cared for and every service was done by Volvo. I drove that car everywhere, I taught my two kids to drive in it and my son used it (very hard) for about 6mounths. When I got it back from him it had about 305,000 miles on it. I sold it to him about a year later cause he loved the car. It had 322,000 on it then. It’s still running! I just bought a 2006 with 180,000 and it runs great! Love these cars and will likely own this one til I die!

Ms Rose Marie and Winston are awesome people they worked with me when I didn't have full payment great used n new cars I recommen anyone to this place never experience this kind of respect and courtesy from all they deserve all stars

Just purchased a used 2008 Scion tC and I love it so far , it’s stylish, pretty comfortable for a 2 door compact car and handles very nice. The sun and moon roof is very cool. The power is pretty good, at low rpms, it feels zippy and peppy. The car is really fun to drive there’s tons of aftermarket upgrades to customize the Tc. This car is just a bang for your buck as you can find a good and clean Tc for a good price. Recommend the car for a first time driver or someone who just wants a good looking good driving reliable car for a reasonable price.

Great design and luxury. Performance was and is excellent. Would highly recommend as a used car safe buy. Infiniti's best era per Infiniti, still support their products from then.

I just love the PT. I've owned 4 and I find it a great fit for me. Comfortable and enough room for everything. Reliable and safe.

Bought Certified Pre-owned in 2004 with 36K miles. 18 years later, only has a total of 85K Miles. My wife's car. This is a 2000 Explorer XLT Sport 4 Dr with a 5.0L (302CI) V8. In a few words, this has been a great car! I am not an SUV person. If it weighs 4000 Lbs and gets 13 MPG, it should say Lincoln on the back and be like driving a living room, but this car is very capable in bad weather. My wife (aka Chihuahua) loves the thing because it gives her a sense of size and power. I can get about 13 MPG around town, 20 MPG on a steady highway trip. My wife cannot, mostly because she takes advantage of the 5.0L. This car is used for local, around town driving and is not garaged. Has a leather interior that has held up, but otherwise, the interior is rather spartan. It is rather tight for me but I am 6"0 and 360Lbs. I have the same issue with neighbor's 2005 Explorer. Amazingly, considering that this is a rust belt (PA, NY) car and is our 1st choice in our 3 car fleet (also have a 2003 Taurus and a 1991 Aerostar) for the rain and snow, this car has no body rust and only slight bubbling of the paint of the rear bumper. There is underbody rust but nothing structural. Only Body Integrity issue is the factory sunroof. there is no good sealing between the sliding panel and the roof; a "gutter" is the primary means of handling leakage. However, even if not clogged, the gutter is insufficient to handle seal leakage in heavy rain. The seal is not available separately from the glass. Other than a failed starter when the car was 19 years old, it has NEVER let us down. Only repairs were to the starter, radiator and upper / lower ball joints, all done by me. Everything else is original. If one looks for 2000 Explorers for sale, one will find that the average one listed for sale has 200,000 miles or more. That says something about the quality of this SUV! Give it a modicum of maintenance and it will just go and go and go.

This car was a great value, reliable, steers and handles very nicely, Roomy ith lots of storage, Great legroom for a tall driver, I'm 6'5" and I sit very comfortable. Bucket seats are adjustable for all driver types, shapes and sizes.

I actually have 2 Durango's A 2002 5.9L FWD, and a 2003 4.7L 4WD, I love them both, although admittedly I drive the 2003 more often as it gets better milage with the 4.7L. Although the body style is not as flashy as the newer ones, the mechanical workings of the pre 2005 were a LOT more reliable, the 2003 is currently sitting at 197,680 mi (I bought it at around 140,000) and I have only done minimal routine upkeep/maintenance like fluid changes, tires, brakes, etc. The third row seating is nice, mine has the split bench seat in front, and seats 8, or the rear seats both fold down for plenty of cargo room, so taking road trips with or without passengers is no problem. Towing capacity is also better than average for an SUV, and the ride is comfortable. Overall I can't really think of any complaint I have had about this rig since I have had it, other than after 17 years of weather exposure it could do with a fresh coat of paint.

Car is super comfortable, spacious interior with a big body size for a 4 cylinder car. Definitely is great on gas, I drive lot of highway miles and get upwards of 30 miles per gallon which was great in comparison to some of my older vehicles I had. Would definitely recommend this car for someone who travels a lot on the highway to get to school or work.

I recently bought a used fwd, SEL model with 154,000 miles and, ironically, as the review directly below mine stated, the engine had a bad ignition coil which resulted in a malfunctioning pcm (computer). I had the faulty ignition coil replaced by a local mechanic and was able to remove the pcm myself and send it to Circuit Board Medics in Greenville, South Carolina. They repaired it for $277. I reinstalled the PCM and the cars runs beautifully. (side note: I was told to replace ALL the ignition coils and plugs before reinstalling the PCM and starting the engine but, not having enough money to do that, I took a chance that the 1 ignition coil I had replaced and the repaired PCM would be ok... so far it has been) Given the miles and the fact the car's 15 years old, I couldn't be more pleased with how well the car still performs. The ride is very smooth and the engine, no longer misfiring, responds perfectly when I step on the gas. From what I've been told, Ford's 3.5 Duratec is one of their more reliable engines when taken care of properly, which I'm thankful the previous owner seems to have done. I got mine for around $2,000. A new battery, new ignition coil, and a repaired PCM cost me $552... so, $2,500 in total for an aging Ford that doesn't feel old at all. Would have loved to have bought this car brand new.

Bought it with 192,000 miles on it and it runs like new. Got it for 2750 had to replace the struts and shocks, a fan belt, needed a new exhaust and a few other minor fixes. The engines in great shape no tranny problems. Think I might need a new fuel pump but other than that it's in very good condition. I was amazed at how it drove it was like brand new. This car is pretty fast and has a quick pick up and amazingly fast acceleration. Fun car to race. Has incredible handling taking tight turns and on winding roads. It's quattro technology and stabilization option make weather no problem, this car has no problem going 70 plus in snow and heavy rain. It's luxurious on the inside with alot of high tech stuff for a 2001. I got the sedan and have had it for 6 months now, i bought it off an old man and its only had 2 owners before me. Its in excelent condition, good buy I love it.

I bought my 2005 Explorer Limited V8 in 2007. It had come off of a lease with about 30, 000 miles. Now, it’s 13 years later and it has 221,889 and I still love it. This is my 3rd Explorer. It is still my favorite design of all the model years. I bought it when my son was 2 and my daughter was not yet born. I can afford to get a newer suv, but keep it because I’ve had it so long, it’s taken me so many places safely and comfortably, that it now has sentimental value. Next goal: 250K miles. If you take care of this SUV, it will last.

I have a 1997 QX4. I bought it 12 years ago. I am impressed every time I drive it. It is my summer ride and it is stored in a garage year-round. It will be my pleasure to drive it for the next 20 years.

This car is a great car when it comes to reliability it has never stalled on me and once I fixed the minor problem like AC and back window being stuck it has been great. I used synthetic oil on this car and the super gasoline and the car performs like a sports car. This was a great first car. As long as you treat this car like a Cadillac it will continue to preform like a Cadillac and that is awesome.

This was one of the most honest dealers we have ever worked with. Not only did they offer to replace the windshield (without being asked), they gave us some gas money for gas since the gas tank was nearly empty. I most heartily give this dealership 5 stars!

Bought for $1500 from a garage at around 180k miles. Needed a new alternator at time of purchase, which was installed before I came to pick it up. Have since had front brake discs resurfaced, brake lights replaced, and new headlight assemblies installed. Currently at 215k and engine is in perfect health. With a service or two I could see it reaching the half-million mark. It's a good thing the 6-cylinder LS is nigh bulletproof, because it's like playing autopart tetris when you have to go under the hood. To get the deep slope in the front profile, GM had to pack everything tight and awkward. The fusebox hangs over the battery by a prop bar, both of which have to be unbolted and moved to get access to the terminals. The gear linkage has to travel at a weird angle that will strain and eventually break the connector if you shift into specific forward gears too often, especially 1st. (Firsthand lesson. Repaired with baling wire.) Aside from a slow leak in the rack & pinion that causes occasional groaning in the power steering, the only issues are with the electronics. Sensor in the fuel pump is defunct so the fuel guage only ever says 100% full or "omg you're running on fumes". A faulty sensor in one wheel hub also makes the ABS warning lamp stay on. The parts and labor to fix these would cost as much or more than what I paid for the whole vehicle. (Mechanics hate working on this thing as much as I do.) Instead I just pour in an extra bottle of PSF every few months and make a point to keep the tank topped up every couple trips.

I recently purchased a truck from SAG Denver, I have had a very positive and professional experience with the sales and service departments. I normally avoid dealerships at all costs, however I came across a beautiful truck that I was having difficulty finding on the private market. I enquired online and was replied to very expediently. I received a no pressure call from a sales person who scheduled an appointment with me. When I arrived, I was greeted and assisted immediately. I test drove the truck with Tracey, who by the way, I highly recommend working with. After driving and inspecting the truck for a bit, I detected what is a common mechanical problem with that type of truck. I brought it up to Tracey and the sales manager Dan and my concerns were immediately acknowledged and validated. Dan did not try to gloss over my concern or argue that there was an issue, instead, he gracefully offered to have the repairs made along with any other contributing or resulting damage as needed. I left the truck with them to begin the repairs, unfortunately it was a bit more involved than originally thought. There ended up being a significant amount of engine work needed, nothing that could have possibly been detectable without opening up the motor. I think most dealerships would have somehow tried to find a way to charge me or unwind the deal rather than proceed with completing all necessary repairs and making the truck run properly. I have several other vehicles so I wasn't by any means inconvenienced, however I did purchase the truck because I had to haul some things for family. After the repairs ran into an extended period of time I did email to express my concerns, I received a call from Dan offering me another truck from their inventory until the repairs were completed on mine. I can't express enough how impressed and pleased I am with the entire experience with Springs Automotive in Denver, I would definitely recommend them and would buy from them again.

I have had many new vehicles and because of this one I probably won't buy another. This truck (F150 FX4 ) Is the best ever. Drives great, tows perfect and has been very reliable. I bought it as a demo in 2006 and have done a small handful of repairs in that time. 16 years-wow!

I found exactly what I was looking for. Very respectful and reasonable. Quick and had knowledge in the truck I was looking at. Thanks guys

OBO 2004 with 1.8L and front wheel drive. 255000 miles and counting. Changed the brakes at 100000miles. I change the fluids yearly using a vacuum pump. The price of vehicles today, I've figured I would save it save it 3years for my daughter's 16th B'day. Everthing is very simple for back yard mechanic to replace.

I saw this car on cars.com. I ended up at this lot looking for an FJ and also a cheaper sedan for my son. Overal the car was nice and team there was very helpful. It's a small lot but they are honest and kind. This was the most at ease I have been at a car lot.

This car met all of my expectations. It's reliable and fun to drive. I personally chose it over Yaris sedan and I'm truly satisfied with my decision.
