Is a Used Vehicle Right for You?

Selecting a used car, truck, or SUV under $22,000 is spot-on for anyone who wants real value, whether dodging potholes on Winchester Road or loading up for tailgates at Kroger Field. Sedans zip through Chevy Chase traffic and park easy on UK campus, trucks haul trailers to Kentucky Horse Park shows or lumber from Hamburg Lowe's, and SUVs give you room for the whole crew plus gear for Raven Run hikes or Masterson Station soccer tournaments. It all boils down to how many seats you need, what you tow, and whether you stick to pavement or hit Jessamine County gravel.

Finding your match starts at Tim Short Auto Plaza on Leestown Road. We line up every option—fuel-sipping sedans for Tates Creek commutes, crew-cab trucks for Fayette County farm work, third-row SUVs for Beaumont families—so you can kick tires, fold seats, and feel the difference. Drive them down Leestown, brake hard on Man o' War, turn around in a church lot on Versailles Road—whatever it takes to know it's the one before you ever talk money.
