Used cars for sale near Semmes, AL under $30,000

After a truly awful experience with another local dealership that ended with them having to buy my car back, I was hesitant and stressed about starting the car-buying process again. But from the moment I walked into Palmer’s Toyota, I was welcomed with open arms. Chad (sales manager) and Jonathan (salesman) greeted us at the door, listened to our entire story with empathy, and genuinely wanted to help. They were incredibly patient, never pushy, and gave us the time we needed to resolve the situation with the previous dealership — all while making sure the truck we were interested in wasn’t sold out from under us. They went above and beyond, protecting us even when they didn’t have to. It was clear they cared more about building trust and a long-term relationship than just making a sale. To top it off, even the owner got involved, reviewing our previous deal and ensuring we had a positive experience this time around. Palmer’s Toyota has absolutely earned a return customer — and my highest recommendation. Thank you again for restoring our faith in the car-buying process!

Bought the 2012 Veloster shortly after its introduction. It has all of the trim options available, though I never learned to use them. This car has had a lot of pesky recalls, but that is like a lot of vehicles. There have been NO problems for my car, except for an inexpensive part repair in the steering column at about 90K miles. I bought this car because of 1) the great m.p.g., 2) the sporty appearance, and 3) to more easily navigate city traffic. My only complaints are: 1) the seats are not well-padded nor provide lumbar support, but they hold you great when zipping around sharp curves in the mountains, 2) it sits so low to the ground (as sporty cars do), which make it difficult for a tall and older person to get in and out. Those who desire a lot of power would probably be disappointed.

Super nice, honest and attentive employees. Overall a fantastic experience! Will go back for future Toyota purchases!

It's great to drive and met my needs as far as reliable and good transportation goes. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a sporty reliable car that can def meet your needs.

This the 3rd F-250 King Ranch I've purchased and overall the easiest. Amanda in Sales and Grant in finance did a great job. I would buy from them again.

I absolutely love this car. I traded my 2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT for this 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. I absolutely love the way it drives. I have had hybrids before from Toyota and they drive like you know they are a hybrid with noisy obnoxious engines. This car is smooth and has great road manners. It isn't a sports car by any means, but I love the way it drives. It is not your typical fuel sipping hybrid SUV. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Was a great experience. I generally hate going to the dealership, but will definitely work with Terrell Williams again. He treated our family like VIP, he was quick, responsive, and constantly working to ensure our comfort. Was an awesome experience, I would definitely give AutoNation Ford a call when looking for your next vehicle.

The smoothest ride! The best for a little family. Went on a road trip and was insanely comfortable. Very spacious and good on gas. Highly recommend

This SUV is solid in almost every way, but if I had to have any complaints I would say: *The design isn't really original, or even "Blazerish". Do I really care? No, but it's just kind of the reality that it doesn't look a lot different than the Equinox, Traverse, and many other vehicles by other manufacturers. Anyway just saying that they could have tried a little harder to have a signature defining figure to separate from everyone else. *The other complaint is that it doesn't have a CD player. Like who decided to save $100, and not put one in? Some Gen Z kid? Again, I see that a lot of cars are this way, but it's just being forced on us by this young crop of kids...At the very minimum take a survey to see who would elect to have one put in, or elect to have one not put in...people are just going with it

I have owned or leased about 12 new Hyundais and about 40 new cars in my lifetime. As I am getting on in years and don’t drive that much I think this will be the last car I will own. That said, I am more satisfied with this car than I have ever owned. The only thing that I am not happy with is the push button transmission. I much prefer the conventional shift lever. If something should happen to this car, I would replace it with another exactly like this one. A niggling point is the placement of the charging pad. It is easy to lose something down there but can be retrieved with a shop vac. No big deal.

The overall experience was perfect,from the test drive to the paperwork and the delivery of the vehicle. Mike McVay our sales guy was extremely nice and very informative on how the car operates. I highly recommend Joe Bullard infinity of Mobile.

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.

Considering the situation, I got a pretty good deal so anything I wrote before. I guess I should probably reconsider.It was a pretty good deal.I'd do business with him again

I owned a 2017 Fusion Platinum and did not want to get a SUV. Knowing the Edge was based on the same platform, I gave the 2024 a spin. I was impressed. It drove, handled, braked, and steered very well. I drove many cars, and even though Ford had not redesigned in a while, it was more enjoyable to drive than the Audi Q5 and Lexus RX. I rated the value a 3 because it is expensive. The Titanium Elite price is in the Lexus/Audi ballpark. I really wanted the Audi because I have owned some in the past, but the Edge was more sporty and more comfortable. I drove the ST and I was surprised that it did not feel a lot faster. This wqas the same with the Fusion. You can tell the ST was faster, but it did not jump off the line like I was expecting. I was disappointed the edge lost some equipment from the past as it is being phased out. So I added it. I added the hood insulation, the engine cover, the cargo cover, LED lighted sill plates, and the laminated acoustic glass on the front doors, all purchased from FORD dealers to make sure they were the real deal. I also added the keyless entry keypad (securicode). I was really disappointed they deleted securicode. The interior is not flashy like an Audi, but I like that it is understated. The carmello seat and door inserts make the car very audi-ish and special. It is too bad this is the last year. The Lincoln Nautilus lives on as the next generation in the USA. I can tell it has roots from the Fusion. That is also gone.

No hassle experience people were great very informative also friendly and welcoming easy to deal with

We almost got in a wreck just now, the car in front of the car in front of US slammed on their breaks. Our Kia Seltos 2024 beeped and then my husband pushed the breaks...none of us hit each other!! Thank you, Kia!!!! It was scary, and I could tell our car noticed the sudden stop before we did!! Thank-you!!

Lorenzo is the man with the plan excellent service made my buying experience easy as possible!

Love the car....I have 2 concerns. First, the driver's seat is not comfortable (this is my wife's car) ....the other seats are fine. This is weird. We have the all wheeled drive version. It loves gasoline !!! My Toyota Corolla gets 38-40 mpg with a smaller but peppier engine. This HR-V Gets between 25-28.....not sure why. HOWEVER. This car drives like a dream... VERY SMOOTH. Love the car !!!

Heather was an amazing sales woman, I truly appreciate her hard work for making today happen! I purchased my first car by myself. I can’t wait to love my new Honda Civic

Great dealer! Easy transaction! I will be back in the future for my next car

Good all - around vehicle...decent power, roomy and comfortable interior, quiet and smooth ride, good handling and nice steering feel, great gas mileage, good visibility... Freeway passing requires a bit of patience and planning...

Al was really nice. He made us very comfortable which. The vehicle was waiting & running when we arrived at the dealership. It was exactly as pictures showed and it did not disappoint.

Great family vehicle, always reliable, comfortable quality ride, can't go wrong with this Toyota! For a large SUV it drives like a mid size and has a great turn radius.

I bought this 2500 van I have found it to be a great Vehicle, the Power of the engine to the cabin controls, gas mileage is great for me haven't had long but plans on wearing it out or being my vehicle to drive.

My vehicle was totaled out. I went to Hyundai to look around and found the perfect car. Terry explained the entire process and was more than willing to help me with everything. I lost my wallet between car shopping and he went above and beyond to help me find it. Because of this gentleman, I chose this dealership over the dealership in Pensacola and will recommend all of my friends and family to do the same! Thank you Terry and all of Palmers friendly staff!

I own a 23' Hyundai Elantra Limited, it has 37,000 miles on it. For the Elantra being the smallest sedan that Hyundai makes, I have been surprised by this car. My 2 previous cars were a Sonata Sport and a Sonata Limited. Pros: comfortable ride - I drive 60+ miles daily to work and I have no complaints about the ride of this car. Sound System: This features Bose speakers, as it is a Limited model. For a factory sound system, it sounds very good. Fuel Mileage: I get between 35 - 37 MPG with some of my daily drive being in stop and go traffic. Maintenance: the only things I have had to do were the normal oil changes, filter changes, and I have replaced the tires. Cool feature is the BlueLink phone app so you can remotely lock, unlock, start the engine to cool down or warm up the interior of the car Cons: hyundai took away the ability to save music to the car stereo and replaced the feature with "nature sounds" Homelink garage door opener was not an option in the Elantra Limited. I would recommend this car to someone that has a limited budget and is looking for a car that is fun to drive and has been reliable.

I purchased a 2010 Lexus rx450h online. The dealership made the process extremely easy. I did it all via phone and email. Salesperson Josh was very efficient and followed up with all my emails and questions. The car i purchased was of the highest quality and the dealership made everything very clear - starting with the repair history and carfax on the vehicle. I used my own financing and had no pressure to upgrade anything or use their finance department. They even are going to detail the car before i pick it up , full tank of gas and are picking me up from the airport. I highly recommend this dealership.

This is the 3rd time I have bought a new car From Palmer's Hyundai. Their customer service is unsurpassed. Catharine Castaneda is Absolutely Amazing she called me to see if I was interested in trading my 2017 Elantra I told her I was not sure. She told me to think about it that she would put me with her best salesperson to addresses all my concerns. Because of Catharine and Rodrick Mitchell and Edward I was able to buy a beautiful 2019 CRIMSON TIDE RED Hyundai Elantra. They lowered my payment lowered my interest rate and saved me money. It was easy stress free and an enjoyable experience. Although I will keep this car I will always love Palmer's Hyundai in Mobile Alabama. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUY A NEW CAR go see Catharine Castaneda and Rodrick Mitchell (the man with the beard) you'll have the best car buying experience ever..

When shopping for our Santa Fe, we looked at many different models brands and sizes some smaller some larger and felt very comfortable with the size of this vehicle. The interior is beautiful and lacks the big TV screen that many of the SUVs have that I didn’t care for. After driving it, I was impressed with its cornering handling breaking an overall driving position. I now have 15,000 miles on it and I’m totally impressed with its comfort and all of the safety features. Some of the smaller SUVs we drove were noisy, and I felt every bump on the road, some of the larger SUVs were just too big. I was impressed with how quiet this car was and how it smoothed out lot of the rough roads that we have here in California. We have the SEL model with a 2.5 L turbo charged engine that has plenty of power and decent fuel economy. I get over 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 25 miles per gallon in town. This is an amazing vehicle that drove nicer both in town and freeway than many other SUVs costing thousand more.

I had a great experience at Skco. Andrew Christensen was great to work with, Andrew was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Andrew made buying a car easy and I did not have a long wait. Thank you, Andrew!

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!
