Broadway Bargains is the value group inside our Merrillville inventory, named for our 5701 Broadway address — we have been serving Merrillville since 1993. It is not a price filter. It is where we put the vehicles that let you buy up a class.
The pattern holds consistently. These are the mainstream SUVs, trucks, and minivans that shoppers normally stretch to afford, wearing prices usually attached to something two sizes smaller.
| What We Looked At | What Was Listed |
|---|---|
| Segments | Full-size SUVs, three-row crossovers, midsize and compact SUVs, minivan, half-ton pickup |
| Model years | 2016 through 2022 |
| Price range* | Mid-$15,000s to just under $30,000 |
| Odometer range | Roughly 54,000 to 115,000 miles |
Inventory turns over constantly, so read that as a snapshot rather than a fixed range. What is on the lot this week will not be what is here next month.
*Prices and availability shown reflect inventory at the time of publication and are subject to change at any time. Advertised prices exclude taxes, title, license, documentation and dealer fees, and any dealer-installed options or accessories. Dealer price will vary by vehicle. The dealer sets the final price. Contact the dealership to confirm current pricing and availability on a specific vehicle.
Within the same model and generation, a higher-mileage example typically lists well below a low-mileage one, and the third row, the tow rating, and the cargo space are identical either way. You are not buying less vehicle. You are buying the same vehicle later in its life.
These tiers are general entry points across our full inventory, not a map of this group specifically — the under-$15,000 page sits below where Broadway Bargains starts, so treat it as a wider net. Because inventory rotates, what each tier lands you shifts week to week.
| Your Budget* | Start Here | Typically Lands You |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $15,000 | Vehicles Under $15k | Compact sedans, midsize SUVs, minivans |
| Up to $20,000 | Vehicles Under $20k | Compact SUVs, higher-mileage midsize SUVs |
| Up to $25,000 | Vehicles Under $25k | Three-row crossovers, full-size SUVs with miles |
| Up to $30,000 | Vehicles Under $30k | Half-ton pickups, better-equipped three-row SUVs |
*Pricing tiers are shopping thresholds only. See the pricing disclaimer above — prices and availability are subject to change and the dealer sets the final price.
