Is a Used Vehicle Right for You?

Picking a used car, truck, or SUV under $23,000 is the move for anyone who wants value that lasts, whether weaving through Chevy Chase or hauling mulch from Hamburg. Sedans slide through downtown parking like butter, trucks tow boats to Jacobson Park or trailers to Masterson Station, and SUVs swallow the whole crew plus gear for Raven Run hikes or Woodland Park soccer tournaments. It all comes down to seats, cargo, and how often you leave the pavement for Jessamine County gravel.

Finding your perfect match happens fast at Tim Short Auto Plaza on Leestown Road. We roll out every contender—sleek sedans for Tates Creek commutes, full-size trucks for Fayette County farm runs, loaded SUVs for Beaumont families—so you can sit in them, fold seats, slam trunks, and feel the difference. Then we send you down Leestown, loop Man o' War, and hit Versailles Road until you're 100% sure it's the one.
