Used cars for sale in Willimantic, CT under $30,000

Champagne Motorcar provided a great car buying experience. They had a fair trade and a reasonable price for the used vehicle. Dealt with a gentlemen named Ernie, he was very professional and non-aggressive The whole transaction was clean, prompt, and worry-free. The 2015 Honda pilot I purchased had its blemishes which was too be expected, and all Ernie would say when I pointed something out was “Oh. no problem we will take care of that!” Not that I haven’t heard this before but they did take care of EVERYTHING, This vehicle looked brand new when they were done with it! I look forward to purchasing my next vehicle from Champaign Motors! Now I know where they got their name, they are the Sparkling Bubbly of EXCELLENCE!

This vehicle was my sons first car that he saved up and helped pay for. The performance material on seats was nice to have the heated seat option with it. My son totaled his Escape after rear ending a car at a red light going over 45 mph. The car kept him safe and he walked away with no injuries. I was impressed with how safe this car kept my son and am thankful. We had no mechanical issues during the time he was driving it before the accident. It was fairly expensive for a small used car but it is mighty.

Went in for oil change and tire rotation. The friendliness of the service people and the quality of work is why I keep going back!

I got the 2020 KIA Optima S trim. The car is great! This is my first car and the safety features helps me out a lot. The backup camera works really well thankfully because I can’t see see anything out the back window lol. I’m in the military so I drive her around a little more often than usual. The car holds up well. The car is very comfortable as well I drive her back home (15hrs) and have no issues at all. The fuel economy is great as well get around 530 miles on a full tank. The car is not a race car so I wouldn’t expect that kind of performance. That being said she is pretty fast and handles great! I got mine in 2021 for about $24k with around 23k miles on it. For the money I’d definitely say it’s worth it.

The sales department is AWESOME! Especially Jesse!! He wasn't pushy, he knew answers to all my questions! I left there with the car I wanted and Jesse and the credit department explained everything clearly and precisely! I will definitely be referring them to my friends and family! Thanks Jesse!!!

I bought my one year Golf after having one as a company vehicle. I had the wagon version preciously, but opted for the hatchback as I am a single man. I have the 1.6 diesel manual 5 speed trans in black . It is a comfortable and powerful small car and very good fuel consumption on the motorway/freeway. Excellent satnav in both the centre console and in the driver dash. Came with alloy wheels as standard and just a great looking effective vehicle.

We had a great experience working with our sales rep Mike Skurko along with the finance mgr Scott Couture and the sales manager Jerry! Each one of them were respectful, knowledgeable and very professional. In addition, a nice touch with Brian Bolle’s extending his thanks & appreciation for our business. Highly recommend thus dealership!

Loved the Optima after upgrading from a Forte due to highway issues with it. Lots of room, dashboard has all the bells & whistles you could want. Quick pickup, gas mileage is great if you aren't using the A/C which burns gas fast. It's a great car and I loved it! Unfortunately turning it in after nearly 3 years due to mechanical issues. Battery went after 1 year of use, starter just went on it 2 days ago, collision warning system keeps shutting down while just driving with error message. Everything was covered under warranty, but I never had these fast problems with my Toyota's. Trading it in tomorrow for something else. Plus they did away with the Optima line.

Recently bought a Range Rover from here and had an all round great experience. Amanda was pleasant to speak to on the phone and got me all set up for an appointment. I worked with Justin through the process and he was professional and easy to work with. Would totally recommend!

This car has a lot of bells and whistles, some of which I don't need. The radio is a disappointment. It can't pick up a radio station 35 miles away.

Brought a car in Nov 2022, the day after thanksgiving. I am happy to say I am pleased with my car and my experience was great. Jim made the transaction pleased and I was able to drive off in it that same day. Would recommend! Plan to come back in the future!

My wife and myself purchased our 2005 SC430 this year,2022, and we love it! We have had some work done on it since we bought it,having plugs replaced, timing belt changed and the like, but nothing you wouldn't have had done on a car that is 18 years old. As far as value goes, we think we got a good deal considering that it is in top shape overall.

I live in town east windsor ct. I saw a 2011 Toyota tacoma 4wd. 140k miles on it all said and done cost me about $15k. they went above my expectations replaced front rotors and pads new sway bar links and tie rod ends oil and filter change. when I picked the car up it was detailed and even got a new air freshener. lol..all and all Baker the salesman I delt with was honest about everything a real stand up guy. nothing bad to say about full throttle powersports. I would recommend these guys to everyone.

I’m updating my ‘Original Owner After 10 Years’ review below. Almost two more years on the ‘09 F150 5.4 FX4 s/crew and it’s still going basically trouble free. I just put its second set of new brake pads / rotors on along with new calipers as well, I also installed a new Cat back exhaust on it however the old exhaust was still basically fine. In the fall of ‘19 for some reason the hood heat/ noise insulator pad started deteriorating so I replaced that. I also have new Motorcraft coil packs and fuel injectors just because I think they’ll perk the 5.4 up a bit but haven’t installed them yet. I figure if I put $1000 of extra maintenance in wear parts a year into it that’s a bargain compared to a monthly new truck payment so that’s my plan with a truck in excellent condition of this age. Overall for a truck going on 12 years old that’s been paid off since 2014 I’m way ahead of the game with this F150 FX4, nice 09-14 styles are starting to thin out now now so this one draws as much or more attention as when it was new. It’s still my daily driver and looks basically like when it came off the dealers lot so I’m going to try and get another 10 years out of it just because I’m sure I probably can. I’d be pretty careful if I was buying one used now however as they’re not all in the condition that mine is. I will say that since 2009 this truck has never let me down and has never broke down once although I credit that to proper maintenance and fixing little issues before they become big problems.

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.

What can I say about my Mitsubitchy. I love my car. I love everything about her, even when she decides to cost me a few thousand in parts. I own a 2009 2.0 L automatic and all fairness she is high up there in her miles. She’s currently in the shop for new control arms, and new lateral links, new gas tank (along with straps and hardware), new fuel pump (only because they are already changing the tank and it’s wise to do while the tanks off) and 1 of 2 O2 sensors (hopefully the right one or I’m going to have to pay the 290.00 some for the rest one). I have been informed from many lancer owners that this is a common issue with the Lancers.. a check engine light from the O2. I own two lancers and both I have the same issue, corner rusting on the hood, good thing I bought a new one of those too. Also rusting on the very top of the car. Other then that I haven’t really had any issues with her other then basic maintenance and she’s never left me stuck on the side of the road so that’s a huge bonus. Oh and the only finally issue is the heat shield for the Cadillac converter always likes to rust off of them even despite consistent undercoatings and now, they don’t make them anymore for the car. Big sad face on that one as I’m trying to completely restore all the parts on my car to brand new. But honestly, cars cost to maintain, it’s pretty simple, some parts are super cheap, some are more expensive. That goes the same for any vehicle. She’s sexy and sporty, handles like an absolute dream, takes corners like a boss at high speeds… shhh I didn’t say that, and is all around the most amazing car I have ever seen and owned. But don’t just take my word for it, I’m biased, I have loved these cars since I was a child! Take the advice of all these lovely people also saying they rock!

MJ Fathi did right by us. Bought a used Subaru with 100K+, and they fixed the items that concerned us after we took it to another shop to do a check over. MJ went out of his way to make sure we were all set. After 4 months of ownership, anything that goes wrong from here wasn't their fault anyway, so glad to give 5 stars.

This a great car that does alot of things well. Never let me down. Use it as daily driver and weekend getaway car. We go kayaking alot and hiking. Gets us where we want to go in all weather conditions. More importantly, gets us home safe all the time. Too bad that Subaru discontinued the Baja. I wish I could get a new one.

The best dealer for used cars MJ went above beyond, after 30 years buying a used car it's a plus. My Honda 2006 run the same as a new car. Thank you, MJ

it handles, rides, and turns very well. it also turns on a dime. the exterior styling is by far the best looking and i just love it

5 Star Review for Emmerson and Mike the business manager. I live in Florida (out of state), and I bought a car and hired a shipping company to ship it out. Everyone at the dealer made it easy to deal with and the process was smooth and simple. Many thanks. -Eric Ormond Beach, FL

I loved this car and did not want to get rid of it but like most Bmw’s after a certain point they get to be a money pit. I did all I could to take care if the car with the hopes I could keep it and pass it down but I became frustrated that after 13 years the car became to unreliable. It was fun to drive and had a great engine. The body and interior held up very well.

If any one is considering a Ford Transit or Nissan NV you want to compare it to a Ram CV(cargo van). Yes it looks identical to a Caravan/grand caravan. Transit can have 6ft ladder-CV 8ft, the NV, 40 inch pallet between wheel wells-CV 4'x8' flat on the aluminum deck (behind two front seats). The roof is also lower at 5'9" (parking). standard 6cyl oil cooler and trans cooler, holds more weight and can tow. No comparison comes close if you have to carry weight and city parking garage(it is as long as a minivan.)

I just picked up my new car at CarMax of Hartford and, I have to say, this was the best car-buying experience I have ever had. I had found a Ford Explorer that I wanted to see on their lot. I put a hold on the vehicle on their website, very early in the morning. By 9am the same morning, I was contacted by Rocco Toce, the most awesome sales person around. I have bought many vehicles through the years and he is the top of the list! We went to look at the truck and he had it clean and ready for us to test drive. We loved the truck but it just didn’t have all the options that we were looking for. I found the exact Explorer we wanted in New York and Rocco jumped right in to help us transfer the vehicle to Hartford. I have to admit, it IS a leap of faith to pay the transfer fee upfront before even seeing the vehicle in person. Rocco jumped in and took over. He spoke to the other CarMax and had them check every part of the vehicle out. I felt very comfortable after he called and told me the truck sounds good. My Explorer made it to Hartford very quickly and Rocco immediately checked it out and let us know it was perfect! I went to see it yesterday. It was beautiful and in the best shape. Rocco took us through the entire car and never rushed us through anything. He sent our Explorer to detailing while my 2009 Silverado was appraised. I received a fair price for my trade and the deal was smooth and handled professionally by the staff. I’m pretty sure I have not had a better car buying experience. Rocco and the team at Hartford CarMax could not have done more to make our experience the best. I did a ton of research about CarMax like I’m sure everyone does. I drove over an hour to work with them and I am so glad I did. We walked out of there with a great, shiny Ford Explorer and the greatest car buying experience!

This is our third MINI. We have a 2008 Cooper and a 2013 Countryman. It's become an addiction. Usually, by the time we pay off a vehicle we want to replace it. Not with MINI. We love ours and the 2016 Countryman is no exception. It's larger than the 2013, but it's still familiar. I'm the shortest at 5'9". Hubby is just under 6' and our son is 6'2". We all feel like the MINI's were designed for tall people. We refer to them as TARDISes because they are bigger on the inside. Smooth ride. Comfortable handling. Safe. Extremely reliable. Stylish. Would highly recommend.

My salesperson Trayce did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone. Every step of the way was very easy and professional.

Love the luxuary! Drives & rides very well! Was driving a mini van proir and wanted space and the extras. Tons of room for passengers & your stuff.

Just bought our second car from Hampden Trading Company and are very happy. They stand by their word and worked with us to get an expensive repair done at their expense. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a good used car.

Great place. Clean, professional and friendly service love it there. I bought my car here even during Covid it was so smooth. Got a great deal and will definitely refer a friend

Shocking amenities for $24K. All the reviewers say it’s slow, and it’s definitely not fast by any stretch. However if you keep it in the “sport” mode it is more than adequate, even on the HWY. Reall no complaints with the new smartstream engine and transmission. The best part of this (for me) is the exterior styling. It looks like a baby version of the Pallisade, esp in darker colors. I love that you get a sunroof, heated seats and steering wheel plus all safety features for 24K$ the only thing I don’t love is the amount of hard touch plastics, though it is tastefully executed. The front seat could also have better lumbar, otherwise this car is a winner.

Just bought a car here a few weeks ago and it was one of the best experiences I have had. The individual selling the car listened to me and also helped me get a car with the not so great credit that I have. The car has low mileage and is exactly what I needed.

I’ve bought 2 3000Gt both used ! I’ve almost all of sports cars year or 2 older Usually look for a sports car when a girl/guy has to give up car for baby !Ive had luck buying used cars had to get rid of it that’s when I buy them ! Lol The red flip up lights I bought it & sold pretty quickly & Bought (My Fav pearl, white leather SL ! I loved the car ! )Handles great! Trust me fast! I think It’s had Excellent speed &very comfortable. I loved it the red but I just had a feeling about it I just looked at the car a lot ! Of course reason gut feeling driving fast ! With both cars! I thought I was going to not die not bc of the car just a feeling lol & not a fan lights. ! I didn’t have anything wrong with either car ! Tires for ect! Normal stuff! BMW Z3 ! Same thing

I couldn't be more happy with the car I got at Gary Rome Kia! They made the process easy and every person that I worked with had excellent customer service.

This is now the second optima I have owned and I have to say that I am truly impressed with how KIA has improved over the years. The leg room in this car is fantastic and it's quite comfortable on long rides. Handles nice, has nice acceleration, rides smooth, it's great on fuel, and has very few problems. The interior gets some criticism from some consumers but what I love about it is that it sacrifices flashy exotic dashboard designs for genuine comfort and space. I would argue that the value of the newer optima models exceeds that of the almighty Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. I literally love driving this car and I miss it when I'm riding in someone else's car. The only issue I ever had was with my last optima, which was a knock sensor issue. Kia fixed it free of charge rather quickly and gave me no problems at all about it. My current one has over 50k miles and runs like brand new. You can't even feel the motor running when it's idling. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for more bang for their buck and for anyone who has 1-2 kids.

I brought my car in for service yesterday and the servcie representative, Alex was informative, attentive and professional. I had a few minor things done and based on his explanation of safety-related items that required rather immediate attention, I just scheduled an appointment for next week to install 4 new tires and have the car's brake fluid exchanged. Thanks for the good advice, Alex.

Traded in my 2012 KIA Optima EXGDI for KIA K5 GT- Line. Was unhappy Optima was discontinued but very impressed with its replacement. Love my KIA. Reliable, excellent safety features and as always looks sharp.

Bought this car used with 30,000 miles certified and have put another 30,000 miles on it. The car is a perfect blend of sportiness and comfort! The seats in this car are by far the most comfortable in the class. The only thing I do not like about the car is the placement of the cup holders in the front as there is nowhere for the passenger to rest their elbows and the small backseat. I saw many reviews that if you are tall this is not the car for you, as a 6'1 male I can still find a very comfortable seating position.
