Used cars for sale in Tempe, AZ under $5,000

We began searching for a new truck to replace one that was totaled in an accident. I found one at the Ideal dealership and after visiting their main location, was told the vehicle was located at the Apache Junction lot. I had asked them to let them know we would be headed that way. I was very impressed when we pulled up and James Hunter already had the truck pulled up front and ready for us to take on a test drive. He provided all the details and offered a car fax. When we got back from the drive, we were very interested in the truck but wanted to have our mechanic take a look just to be sure. The next day when we went to pick it up, James had the truck washed, gassed up and ready to go once again. The mechanic approved and when we got back to the dealership James was able to meet our price and the paperwork was efficient so we didn’t have to spend the entire afternoon at the dealership. When finalizing the deal, James pointed out that they were going to be charging the A/C as an item that had been identified by someone during an earlier test drive. We had not realized this, but it was great that he was honest and willing to take care of this even though we had not known. The next day we dropped off the truck and at the Apache Junction location and James made arrangements to have it delivered and picked up from there main location where the service department was located. The truck is now home and we couldn’t be happier with the vehicle and the service we received from James and the Ideal dealership. I will recommend both to anyone looking for a used car as this was one of the best experiences I have had at any car dealer! Thank you to James! We appreciate all you did to make this stressful process a great one.

Great car, excellent styling, comfort, and reliability. Fun to drive around town or out on the open road. The 2.4 engine has plenty of muscle too and the maneuverability is outstanding.

This place is amazing. Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. THE BEST THING is that they allowed me to test drive it by myself and even take it to a mechanic to have it fully inspected before buying. This was by far the best thing about the dealership, especially because pep boys is right down the road for inspection. MOST DEALERSHIPS don’t allow you to have it inspected but there you go, avoid lemons by having it inspected. Demarea was VERY HELPFUL. We were able to negotiate the out the door price before going there, and really the fees are very minimal compared to most dealerships. Demarea and James Hunter are willing to work with you and your budget. Plus, I believe that their prices are below the average price. DOUBLE WIN. It was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Bought our 2012 Kia Sportage EX used in 2017. Drawn to the stylish exterior of the EX version. Relatively low mileage with leather seats and 2.4 litre engine, larger than the standard 2.0 in other comparable cross-overs ( Hyundai and Mazda). This vehicle has been one of the most comfortable and reliable vehicles we have ever owned. Now have 220k KM with only standard maintenance. Tires, battery, filters and fuel. We take several long trips each year from Alberta to BC and have found the Kia comfortable and powerful through the mountain passes. The one disappointment is the failure of the UVO stereo system in past year. The speakers stopped working as the section of the amplifier that transmits signal stopped working. Replacement audio unit from Kia is overpriced at CDN 900. This has been our only problem. Like the styling, performance and reliability of this vehicle.

I purchased my 2005 Honda CRV new & I still have it. It is 15 1/2 years old. It’s great if you want a small SUV. It’s not really comfy for tall people though. That’s the only drawback. I just had to change my back rotors for the first time & I have approximately 133K miles.

My dad bought this car new in 2000, drove it to Florida, Colorado, West Virginia etc. Has never broke down or had any problems with him, then he gave it to me and she still runs perfectly. So comfortable and roomy. She gets AMAZING gas mileage. She’s got a little rust and shakes a little bit over 70 mph but other than that she’s the most safe and reliable car. I would recommend this car to someone who’s looking for their first car.

Love my cougar. I have got worn things replaced from time to time and has come up Trumps. No breakdown or big issues in 10 years after buying second hand with low miles. Mine is V6 manual and I'm guessing most people who have problems own the automatic. This car is a lovely manual. It's a bit spotty but not a sports car. It's really a V6 Mondeo. On the open highway, feel like a solid Mercedes from the 1990s that delivered open road pleasure with pep when over taking. I'm keeping mine until it dies, which is apparently a long way off

Its a great car but the Hybrid battery has issues and replacements are expensive , Honda should offer a Battery replacement program that is reasonably priced .

Bought if off a friend with 167,000 km....now at 268,000 Replaced front calipers otherwise its been problem free. Don't get a lot of snow but handles beautifully when we do get it. Haul my 2 kayaks on the roof racks all over the place.

This car is the most reliable car I had. after all these years still drives very well. I have the SE model and it is supper comfortable with the lower back support. I haven't had any mayor problems at all. I hardly recommend this car.

Bought this used car 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 S three years ago with just over 100,000 miles and I’ve had nothing go wrong with the car since day one.

I purchased my 2015 Hyundai Elantra Limited without really even knowing all the extras it has. I'm learning new things about it all the time. I've never had a car so fancy! Hey, after 12 years with a Kia Spectra, this car is FANCY! I've never had leather seats, let alone heated leather seats! I've never been able to make a phone call by telling the car to call someone! I cant really think of anything about this vehicle that disappoints me at all. I'm just grateful to Gustman Honda in Appleton and my salesman Jon Devet for being so great and helping me keep to my budget while still getting SO much car! I know she's 6yrs old but shes like new to me, and I love her. Great car!

Everything seems great with it not had it long I see people saying electrical issues like it randomly dying we went through this and all it was is the battery isn't mounted and needs to be held still in place my battery slid over making the hot wire rub the belt it died multible times until I realized it was rubbing I tied a wire around battery to lock in place and some black tape to fix the hot wire

This car is phenomenon, comfortable, highly efficient, runs fast and smooth, a little noisy, good suspension,have a nice body with all the flairs and spoiler. No problen at all. Very happy to owned this car.

Bought this car from one owner who was a dealer. This car runs great. It is mechanically sound. The only issues I had was electrical that was eaten by rodents. Excellent highway gas mileage. I recommend it to anyone that travels. Keep in mind this is a Highway 300 Touring. It's not recommended for going back and forth in the city.

This car has a nice interior. The three row seating is nice except the 3rd row is a little cramped concerning leg room. Great family car.

Bought my 2007 in 2011 and still driving it today (April 2023) with over 265,000 miles. Thought about trading it in in 2022 the Lord said keep driving it and I will take care of your next vehicle just like I have the last two.

I bought my 2007 Nissan versa, hatchback used, back in 2016. It had low miles and was in very nice condition. Like most Nissans, the CVT is slow starting out, but develops excellent speed, once it shifts into the higher gears. It can hold its own on the road against larger vehicles. It is not built as well as the small Hondas, and Toyotas, but it is a good car for the money. I have close to 90 thousand miles on my versa. It's my daily driver. And, I haven't had to do much work to it, thus far. I've done tires, brakes, battery, and fluid changes. That's about it. I am running on the original engine (1.8L), original transmission (6-Speed CVT), original starter, alternator, electronic ignition system, exhaust system, Ect. Stuff will wear out, but a pretty decent car...

We will never take our baby somewhere else again the great staff at Horne Kia made us the top priority even though we weren't the only car in the service station that made us feel as we were.

This car might appear blend but it is fun to drive. Parts are cheap. Very easy to fix. Just a very reliable car. In february 2021 my elantra has 424 k kilometers. I love my elantra.
