CX-5, CX-50, CX-30, CX-90, Mazda3, MX-5 Miata. The natural starting point at a Mazda store, with eligible late-model examples qualifying for Mazda Certified Pre-Owned coverage. Many Mazda SUVs came with all-wheel drive, a plus for snowy winters.
RAV4, Tacoma, 4Runner, Highlander, Camry, Corolla. Popular with commuters and outdoor-minded drivers alike, and hybrid versions appeal to anyone logging regular I-25 miles.
CR-V, Civic, Pilot, Accord. Practical, efficient daily drivers for students, commuters and anyone who wants simple ownership.
Forester, Outback, Crosstrek. A long-time favorite in the mountain West thanks to standard all-wheel drive on most models and room for skis, bikes and dogs.
F-150, Ranger, Bronco Sport, Escape, Explorer. A strong pick for towing, hauling firewood and reaching trailheads on rough forest roads.
Silverado 1500, Colorado, Equinox, Traverse. Fits full-size and midsize truck shoppers as well as households that need three rows.
Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass. Built for drivers who head off pavement toward the Jemez or the backroads around Chimayo.
Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Volkswagen, Ram and luxury brands. Our mix changes with every trade-in, so check the listings above or ask us to watch for a specific model.

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned is Mazda’s factory-backed program for late-model Mazdas sold through Mazda dealers. According to Mazda, only well-maintained vehicles qualify, and each one is inspected by a factory-trained Mazda technician before it can wear the certified badge.
Life at about 7,000 feet is beautiful, but it is tough on vehicles. Use this list on any used car, from any seller.
Intense high-altitude sun fades paint, cracks dashboards and dries out rubber seals and wiper blades. Look at the roof, hood and dash closely, and check convertible tops for brittle spots.
Check tread depth and the four-digit date code on each sidewall, since rubber ages even when tread looks fine. Ask whether a set of winter tires comes with the vehicle.
Long descents on Hyde Park Road, La Bajada Hill and the road down from Los Alamos work brakes hard. Listen for grinding, feel for pulsing in the pedal and ask when pads and rotors were last replaced.
Dirt and washboard county roads loosen suspension parts and can damage the underbody. Watch for clunks over bumps, uneven tire wear and scraped skid plates or exhaust parts.
Thin air and long climbs make the cooling system work harder, and cold snaps punish weak batteries. Ask when the coolant was serviced and when the battery was last replaced.
Review the vehicle history report and confirm open recalls have been completed. Then drive your own routes, including a stretch of I-25 or St. Francis Drive, to judge noise, braking and steering.
Most used-car shoppers have something to trade. Get a fast number with our KBB Instant Cash Offer, or request a full trade appraisal so our team can review your vehicle in person. That value can go directly toward your next car or serve as part of your down payment.
When you are ready, apply for financing online, check your buying power and use our payment calculator to settle on a comfortable monthly figure. Our finance center works with a range of credit situations and explains each option plainly.

It depends on how you drive. A used CX-5 is a versatile all-rounder, the Mazda3 suits budget-minded commuters, the CX-50 fits outdoor trips, and the CX-90 adds a third row. Choosing a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned example adds an inspection and factory-backed warranty coverage.
For many shoppers, yes. A certified crossover usually costs more than a comparable non-certified one, but Mazda CPO adds a 160-point inspection, a 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Vehicle Warranty and a 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty from the original sale date. That coverage is especially reassuring if you drive long distances or keep vehicles for years.
Mazda states that certified vehicles get a 160-point inspection by a factory-trained technician, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report with a one-year CARFAX Buyback Guarantee, and both limited vehicle and limited powertrain warranties. Roadside assistance runs for the powertrain warranty term, and the warranties transfer to future owners.
Popular choices include the Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 or CX-90, Toyota RAV4 and Highlander, Honda CR-V and Pilot, and Subaru Outback. Focus on condition, maintenance records and all-wheel drive if you face winter roads, and use our priced-under-20K listings or ask our team to search within your budget.
It depends on the vehicle’s age and mileage, how long you plan to keep it and how comfortable you are covering an unexpected repair. Coverage tends to make the most sense on vehicles past their factory warranty or with complex technology. Ask our team to explain exactly what each available plan includes and excludes.
Yes. Apply online before your visit, check your buying power and use our payment calculator to plan your budget. Rates depend on credit, term and the vehicle you choose, and our finance team works with a range of credit situations.
Look for sun-faded paint and cracked dashboards, tire age, brake wear from mountain descents, suspension wear from dirt roads and the condition of the cooling system and battery. A history report and a test drive on your own routes will tell you a lot.
