Used cars for sale near Star, ID under $5,000

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this dealership! Devin was an outstanding salesman—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and made the whole car-buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. I’m so happy with my purchase and truly appreciate the excellent service. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and personable salesman, I highly recommend asking for Devin!

Bought the vehicle used with 90,000k. At 147,000k now for 3 years. Mostly highway driving. Downsides...Bad battery placement, poor alternator design, had to replace due to the pulley clutch. My 4cyl. Is a dog; way underpowered. The main power and is around 4,000rpm. That's really pushing this little 4 banger. The engine struggles over almost any grade in the road, especially in cruse. There are huge blind spots at the rear A pillar. The unprotected wires for the airbag sensors under the seats cause the airbag light to come on. Now the upsides. Best looking sedan in it's class, hands down. Alloy wheels, steering wheel controls, lighted cup holders, clean interior. Relatively comfortable seats. Excellent gas mileage (23-28mpg). The 6 speed automatic transmission makes the dogish 4cyl make the car driveable, as well as the slap manual for shifting. The radio has a HDD drive that holds a gig of music storage. Excellent sound system. Large trunk, rear seat access through the armrest. Overall; with preventive maintenance, driving responsibly, and regular oil changes/tune-ups I would expect another 100,000k (knock on wood).

Very easy. Found the car I wanted on line at a good price and the financing I wanted.

Now at 77000 Kliks & 10 yrs old a great bargain car! Fuel economy still around 7L/100Klm. No rust (except wheel rims) good seats rather coldish in winter tho... Only money spent on front end stabilizer bar & steering bits. Cant complain about tranny -its a stupid "puredrive" but we lucked into getting the OVERDRIVE option. That was our salvation!

My wife bought me a 2016 as a gift yes it has a ton of miles but it runs and drives like a brand new car. We've had lots of road trips and no problems I'm 6,1 very comfortable even in the back seat I really like the trunk space

I’ve purchased my third vehicle from these guys. Very reliable, honest, and great guys! They make the buying process hassle and stress free! Will keep buying vehicles and giving them business!

I bought this car in 2004 off the dealership lot with my first paycheck after getting hired on with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It has taken me all across the United States. I have gotten more than my money's worth. As I approach my retirement next year, I'm shopping around for an autobody shop to restore it to its original luster. I've had 9 vehicles since I bought my 2004 KIA and none of them have been as reliable. My only complaint is I've gotten fatter and its not as comfortable to drive as my larger vehicles. with regular maintenance, and higher-grade fuel use these cars will run well over 350K miles.

Our Experience with The Kendall Value Lot exceeded our expectations in many great levels. After spending weeks searching for a vehicle that fit our Budget and family needs, we kept going back to Kendall the staff was very nice they seemed honest, not some dealers out to get you, we felt confident. Kendall Value Lot is definitely by far the best car dealers to work with, and I recommend them to everyone who is searching for a new or used vehicle! My family and I are very happy, and so Thankful for their help in helping us get the vehicle we chose. We will definitely be back for future vehicle purchases. We are very satisfied and appreciate everything from point A to point Z. Thank You Judy & Sammy for such great, professional customer service you guys are wonderful.

Bought 2012 in 2021. I have put 18,000 miles on it. Had to do brakes, CV joint, and the thermostat. Otherwise, it runs very good.

They have have met and exceeded my expectations beyond words. Salesman and management are very professional, curious, friendly and trustworthy. Out of numerous other car dealerships they had the largest selection and now I am the proud owner of the vehicle I had been looking for. I recommend them to anyone looking a great vehicle at an awesome price. I personally refer everyone to Instant Equity Auto. You will love your experience with them!!!

Pushing 80 yrs old [young?] I find the L300 a very nice place to be driving from Az desert to the Ca coast...it also get pretty good MPG...Great air and power everything, like the sunroof too..1st car with leather, it felt more comfortable to sit on, seemed softer...over 84,000 now and all is well...can't complain even if it dies in the next 30 or 40 thousand miles...

although I didnt buy a car with this company cuz my wife wanted something a lil diffrent kelly was awsome to work with very straight forward and was an honest dealer I will visit them again in future and keep them in mind when we look again :)

I bought my 2016 Lancer 5 days ago and I already love it. I put it on the main highway and got it up to 100 mph and it did not feel like I was going that fast. It very easy to drive. It a simple car and that is fine with me ( I dont have to have all that modern stuff to drive a car.) With everything that I read about the car on line I thought I had made the wrong decision but after I drove it I knew it was the right car and right decision for me. I will post again after I have had the car for a while.

I came in on a car I thought I really wanted and it wasn’t what I needed. These guys took time to show me what worked best for me and I ended up getting an suv Thank you for helping me get a vehicle that suits my needs better than my wants!

2010 95,k miles . Hasnt let me down but once. Broke linkage when i didn't see a hole in my lane Has cvt trans . No problems and trans fluid never changed yet . Rubber trim on the outside and the paint is my complaint. In the sun all time!

Just eclipsed 300K miles last week with my 2008 Hyundai Elantra! Bought it new and have replaced the alternator and that’s about it. Am faithful about oil changes every 8-10k miles. Amazing! Hope to retire in less than two years and drive 30k miles a year. Hoping it will last!

Just so yall know. We had a miss understanding with this dealership and i just wanna say sorry and you guys are a good group of people. I will definitely be coming back to buy from you guys again. Thank you for everything you all have done for us this past week. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

I wish that the 2010 ford edge had Better gas mileage otherwise it’s a grate suv. I wish that it had a 3rd row Seating

We have left a previous bad review due to a sour taste in our mouth from a truck not lasting more then a full week. Found out it was an easy fix and they were able to repair the problem and had good customer service. This is an apology for the previous bad review we have left on the 09 Ford F-150. So yes they are a good reliable company that’s number one priority is the customer thank you again to the great team at instant equity auto.

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.

Kelly was so great to work with. No pressure dealership they just do there best to get you into a great car that fits your budget and lifestyle. Awesome experience will highly recommend to anyone!

My friend has one with over 410,000 miles, yes 410,000 miles with no issues. These things are a tank made to last that's for sure

Great experience very happy . Made a few calls and drove 5 hrs and before we came all that far Lucas walked us through the car told us everything that was good and maybe bad. Car was everything adverted. Process was so easy and the staff was great. Would buy another car from them. I also needed two keys and he was going to split the cost witch was cheaper than I could. Pulled out the wallet to pay and he said he's got it. My wife and I are very excited and proud to own a Cadillac Escalade. Thank you guys again for everything. You Rock!!!!!

The 2001 Hyundai Sonata is the best car I've ever owned. It has been a workhorse that'll climb the Continental Divide in an blizzard with 8-inches of snow accumulation; powering around all other vehicles, including 4-wheel/all-wheel drive. It handles mountainous terrain uphill and downhill with the best of them. Cruise control, power windows, door locks, mirrors, and all controls are right at your fingertips. Smooth riding and reliable!

From the time we took our test drive to the time we made our purchase two days later Keith Jensen was professional yet personable, honest and accommodating. It was one of our best car purchasing experiences.

My Dad was the first owner I'm the second , 330,000 miles and still going strong. Keep up the general maintenance and it will keep going.

We purchased our new 2026 F350 here and the experience was great. No pressure at all. Even the add-on warranty stuff had no pressure. We asked lots of questions and he just simply supplied answers for us, printed out everything and gave us days-weeks to think about it. No pressure to buy anything. Our salesman, Michal "Meehow" Swiercz, was great as well. Always responded to phone calls or texts (even on his days off) and always got us the information we needed. I highly recommend giving him a call for your next purchase from this dealership!

Brought this little car 4.5 years ago for a $500 bargin. (It'd been through 3 previous owners) It is now a 21 year old car and still reliable as anything. And cheap to run - about 7L/100km. Inside is very roomy and the rear seats fold down for those larger loads. It still passes it warrant of fitness without trouble, and the only problem ive had is it now runs at high revs for the first couple of min until it warms up, Really very minor considering its age. It should last a few more years providing i dont run it into another concrete wall! Overall great first car, in no hurry to let it go, very reliable and extremely cost effective.

Tim Carder and sales team were nothing but Professional knowledgeable work pushy for a sale. Repair my suv 2 weaks after it was bought out there own pocket. When I purchase suv the gave me free maintenance as long as own it and gave a free power train warranty up 6 months.

Great vehicle. I purchased it at 200,000 miles for $1,500 and I’m still using it at 245,000 miles. I’ve seen a lot of reviews about the engine stalling with no mechanics being able to solve the problem. It’s the catalytic converter. It clogs and the exhaust fumes can’t escape. You can disconnect the exhaust section with the catalytic converter and drive it around to see if that is the problem. I can’t tell you how to fix it but I’ll just say I get 2 mpg more now that I “fixed” it and my Envoy smells like a boat.

So we just went in to look at some cars and saw the 2015 Kia Optima they had. We drove it and loved it instantly! Performance Auto helped us so much with getting the car! Thanks to the guys there and the friendly, non invasive environment like some other places.

I bought our 2007 Yukon XL Denali in 2018 when it was 11 years old. I bought it with 192,000 miles as a 2nd vehicle, and it now has 242,000 miles and is our primary traveling vehicle. It is by far the best family vehicle I have ever owned. I did some maintenance to it when I first bought it, such as front suspension work and a few other things, but it has been absolutely reliable and has never let us down in thousands of miles of road trips. We have two kids, and often take trips with our in-laws, so all six of us fit in comfort plus the dog. Best of all, when it does need maintenance, everyone and their sister knows how to work on it, and parts are cheap and widely available.

Responded quickly and was willing to work with me on the selection of a vehicle. Due to the distance from the dealership I did not find a suitable vehicle for which I was willing to make the trip.

It turns heads! Very comfortable, powerful ride, beautiful 2-toned leather seats & wood trim, great sound system, and sunroof for your cruising pleasure. This is our 5th Jaguar.

I bought a car from here last night and was very pleased with my service. The whole process was made easy by my salesman, Stacey, whom I would recommend for a non-aggressive and pleasant experience… from beginning to end. Highly recommend this place!

It's very smooth to drive and it's a good first car. I have heard of kultiple people using these things past 200,000 miles. I recommend.

Very responsive and easy to work with even though I’m out of state. I’ve had a great experience with them!

We have had our 2003 Toyota salora convertible v6 since 2015 it had 60k miles then and now has 203,000k and still running strong. This is my 1st non GM vehicle and Im currently looking to purchase another Toyota. This car has only had normal wear and tear issues that are expected as miles climb. I still trust this car 100000% , as long as you keep up on maintenance like oil changes, coolant flushes, tune ups ect these Toyota saloras and other Toyotas. Take care of them and they will take care of you. They are responsible for repair coasts and parts are easy to obtain. Thank you Toyota for many great years and miles. I hope to find another reliable Toyota 🙏
