Vehicles Under $15,000 in Metairie and Kenner
Setting a firm number before you start shopping is one of the smartest moves a used vehicle buyer can make, and this part of our inventory is built for exactly that kind of shopper. Mattingly Motors has been selling used vehicles across the Greater New Orleans area since the early 1980s, and in four decades of family ownership we have learned that a lower price tag should never mean a lower standard. The cars, SUVs, and trucks listed on this page went through the same inspection process as everything else on our lot. We sort our vehicles by what they actually are and what they can do, so the selection here shifts as new arrivals come through both of our stores.
What You Will Find Under $15,000
Our selection in this range leans toward practical commuter cars and compact SUVs, though pickups and older luxury models show up regularly too. Because we operate as a non-franchised independent dealer carrying all major makes, we are not locked into one brand's trade cycle, and that gives this section of our lot more variety than most shoppers expect. Some weeks bring in a low-mileage sedan that came off a lease; other weeks it is a work truck with plenty of service life left in it. Anyone who wants the widest possible view can start with our full used inventory and narrow things down from there.
Inspected Before It Ever Goes Up for Sale
Every vehicle we offer gets a comprehensive multi-point inspection from our experienced technicians before it is listed, and that applies just as much to a ten-year-old commuter as it does to a late-model SUV. Our technicians pay attention to the things that cost money later, including brakes, tires, fluids, belts, and electrical systems. If something needs attention, it gets addressed before the vehicle goes out front. Our parts department also stays open seven days a week, including Sundays from 10AM to 6PM, so the resources behind that inspection are still here long after you drive off.
Warranty Options on Virtually Every Vehicle
One of the most common concerns we hear from shoppers in this price range is what happens six months after the sale, and it is a fair thing to ask. We offer warranty options on virtually every vehicle in our inventory regardless of make, model, age, or mileage, which is an unusually broad commitment for an independent used lot. Coverage choices vary from one vehicle to the next, so the conversation is specific to whatever unit you are looking at. Our sales staff will lay out what is available on a particular vehicle before you make any decisions.
Two Locations Serving Metairie, Kenner, and New Orleans
Our Auto Sales rooftop sits at 6900 Veterans Blvd in Metairie, and Mattingly Motors Truck Depot is a short drive down the road at 2517 Veterans Blvd in Kenner. Cars and smaller SUVs in this range usually sit at the Metairie store, while pickups and commercial vans live at the Kenner store, though we move vehicles between the two when a customer asks. Shoppers who already know which location is closer can go straight to the Metairie inventory or the Kenner inventory. Drivers regularly come to us from New Orleans, Harahan, Marrero, Gretna, LaPlace, and Slidell, and we are happy to hold a vehicle for someone making the drive in after work.
Trade-Ins and Financing for Under $15K Shoppers
Trading in your current vehicle is often what closes the gap for someone working with a set number, and we appraise trades at both of our stores. Our online vehicle trade appraisal gives you a starting figure before you ever walk in, which helps when you are working out what your next payment might look like. We also work with customers across the full credit spectrum, including first-time buyers and drivers rebuilding their credit, and our finance department handles that paperwork in house. Nobody here expects you to have your financing figured out before you come look at a vehicle.
Seeing a Vehicle in Person
Vehicles in this range tend to move faster than anything else on our lot, so calling ahead or booking a time is worth the couple of minutes it takes. Our appointment scheduler lets you reserve a specific window with a salesperson instead of waiting around on a busy Saturday afternoon. Sales hours run Monday through Saturday from 9AM to 7PM and we are closed on Sundays, with our service department open Monday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM. Anything we are highlighting at the moment across the rest of the lot shows up on our current vehicle specials page.
If you have a question about a specific vehicle listed here, give us a call or stop by either store; we are glad to talk it through at your pace.
Common Questions About Our Under $15,000 Inventory
Most of what lands in this range is made up of commuter sedans, compact and midsize SUVs, and the occasional pickup with real work left in it. Carrying all major makes as an independent dealer means our stock is not tied to one manufacturer's trade cycle, so two shoppers looking a month apart will often see completely different vehicles. Older luxury SUVs and Jeeps turn up here more often than people assume. Buyers who specifically want a pickup should also look at our truck inventory, since some of those units fall into this range as well.
Warranty options are available on virtually every vehicle in our inventory, and that holds true regardless of the make, model, age, or mileage of the vehicle you are considering. We know a higher-mileage vehicle raises different questions than a newer one, so we go over what coverage exists on that specific unit rather than describing something generic. The available choices vary from vehicle to vehicle, which is why this conversation happens in person with the actual keys in hand. Nothing about the coverage discussion is tied to what you spend.
Financing is available on vehicles throughout our inventory, and we work with buyers across the full credit spectrum, including first-time buyers and drivers who are rebuilding. Our finance staff handles the paperwork in house at both stores, and you are welcome to begin the finance process online before you come in or sit down with us when you arrive. Running some numbers ahead of time helps a lot of shoppers, and our payment calculator is a reasonable place to sketch that out. Bringing your recent pay information along tends to speed things up considerably.
Cars and smaller SUVs in this range are generally parked at Mattingly Motors Auto Sales on Veterans Blvd in Metairie, while pickups and commercial vans sit at our Truck Depot in Kenner. The two stores are only a few minutes apart, and we move a vehicle from one lot to the other when a customer asks us to. Shoppers driving in from New Orleans, Harahan, or LaPlace usually find the Metairie store easiest to reach. Current hours and directions for both rooftops are worth checking before a Saturday trip, since sales and service keep different schedules.
Vehicles at this end of our lot tend to sell faster than anything else we stock, so the list on this page can look different from one week to the next. New arrivals get added as soon as they clear our multi-point inspection, which means something that was not here on Monday may be out front by Thursday. Calling ahead about a particular vehicle is the surest way to know it is still available. Booking a time with a salesperson also keeps you from waiting when both lots get busy in the afternoon.
