Pre-Owned SUVs Under $30,000
The variety is the point. On a typical week this list holds compact and subcompact crossovers from Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru and Buick, a deep run of Jeep models from the small trail-capable ones up through midsize, and family-sized SUVs that have aged into the price. Front-wheel drive shows up here more than anywhere else on the lot, so read the drivetrain on each listing if winter traction matters to you.
Every SUV here has been inspected by our factory-trained technicians and comes with a free vehicle history report. At this price point we pay particular attention to tires, brakes and any deferred maintenance, because those are the costs that turn a good deal into an average one in the first year.
Where the value hides under $30,000
The best buys in this band are usually the unglamorous ones: a mid-trim crossover coming off a three-year lease with one owner and full service records, rather than a heavily optioned older vehicle that just barely fits under the cap. Lease returns tend to have been maintained on schedule and driven predictably. Fleet units and multi-owner vehicles are not automatically bad, but they deserve a harder look at the history report, and we will go through it with you line by line.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in a pre-owned SUV under $30,000?
Typically a three- to five-year-old compact or midsize SUV with moderate miles. Lower miles means a smaller vehicle or an older year; four-wheel drive and more space usually push toward the top of the band.
Are there four-wheel-drive SUVs under $30,000?
Yes, a good number. Many Jeep and Ford units in this band are 4x4 or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive crossovers are also common here, so check the drivetrain field on the listing.
What would the monthly payment be on a $28,000 SUV?
It depends on your down payment, trade, loan term and rate. Use the payment calculator on this site for an estimate, or apply online and we will quote real numbers from our lender network.
Do any of these SUVs still have a factory warranty?
Many of the newer ones do, since powertrain coverage on most makes runs five years or 60,000 miles. Ask us about remaining coverage on any specific vehicle and we will check it against the in-service date.
