Used Cars for Sale Under $5,000 Near Me in Fayetteville, NC - Autotrader - 19377 Total Available

If you’re wanting to buy an affordable used car between <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-2000" target="_blank">$2,000</a> and $5,000, be prepared to do your due diligence, ask a lot of questions about the car's maintenance history and we'd suggest pay a trust-worthy mechanic to perform a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/how-do-you-get-pre-purchase-inspection-buying-used-car-257963" target="_blank">pre-purchase inspection</a>. Almost every car asking $5k or less will have between 100,000 and 275,000+ miles, could be between 10 and 25+ years old, have minor to serious cosmetic issues, and some may have slight body damage from an <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/should-you-buy-a-car-thats-been-in-an-accident" target="_blank">accident</a> or two. If the car has a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/rebuilt-title-vs-salvage-title-whats-difference-281474979846034" target="_blank">salvage or rebuilt title</a>, we would want to understand why that is. Be wary of the slightly used car with low miles but is selling for an unbelievably low price; a car deal that seems too good to be true usually is. When we looked through all the listed cars nationwide selling for $5,000 or less, we even found some that had been <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/should-you-buy-back-your-totaled-car" target="_blank">totaled</a>. Depending on the model year of the car you find, it may not have the safety capabilities which have become standard in newer cars; features such as traction control, stability control, head curtain airbags, or backup cameras, which became federally required starting with the 2018 model year. Models such as the <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000/nissan/altima" target="_blank">Nissan Altima</a>, <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000/honda/civic" target="_blank">Honda Civic</a>, <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000/ford/focus" target="_blank">Ford Focus</a>, <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000/kia/optima" target="_blank">Kia Optima</a> and <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/cars-under-5000/toyota/camry" target="_blank">Toyota Camry</a> regularly appear on our $5,000 and under best affordable car lists. Our last tip: if you don't <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-finance">finance</a> your car, we’ve found that you may have leverage in your <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-negotiations-guide" target="_blank">negotiations</a> if you pay <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-car-should-you-pay-with-cash-if-you-can-227481" target="_blank">all cash</a>.

Our editors have ranked the <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/10-best-used-cars-under-5000" target="_blank">best used cars for $5,000 or less</a>. Given the demand for a cheap $5,000 car, if you can't find these models in your local area, try expanding your search radius. This list was published in March 2025.
