Used Cars Hutchinson MN | Used Trucks & SUVs | Jay Malone Ford

Jay Malone Ford in Hutchinson, MN has been selling used cars, trucks, and SUVs to families across central Minnesota since 2005. Our pre-owned inventory includes Ford Blue Certified vehicles backed by factory warranty, plus inspected used cars from every major brand — Chevy, GMC, Ram, Toyota, Honda, Jeep, Subaru, and more — whatever our customers trade in and our service department approves for sale. Every used vehicle on our lot passes through the same factory-trained technicians who handle warranty work on new Fords.

We’re a family-owned dealership — Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone — voted Best Place to Buy a Vehicle, Best Auto Mechanic, Best Place to Buy Tires, and Best Auto Body Shop in Hutchinson. No pressure, no extra fees to find the vehicle you want, and the same service department that inspects your truck before you buy it is the one taking care of it afterward. That’s how we’ve earned the “Your Dealer for Life” tagline.

What Used Vehicles Are Available at Jay Malone Ford?

Our used inventory typically includes 40 or more pre-owned vehicles — one dealership, one service department, one body shop, two new-vehicle franchises (Ford and Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram) — with inventory rotating every week. You’ll find used trucks (Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra), used SUVs (Ford Explorer, Expedition, Bronco, Escape, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Toyota RAV4), used cars, used minivans, and Ford Blue Certified Pre-Owned vehicles backed by factory warranty.

Inventory changes fast and the best vehicles don’t sit long. Browse what’s on the lot right now, save the vehicles you’re interested in, or use our Find My Car tool if you’re looking for something specific that isn’t currently in stock.

How Does Jay Malone Ford Inspect Used Vehicles?

Every used vehicle on our lot is inspected by our factory-trained service technicians — the same crew that handles warranty work and routine maintenance on new Fords every day. Our service department was voted Best Auto Mechanic in Hutchinson, and that reputation is tied directly to every vehicle we sell.

When a trade-in or wholesale purchase comes in, it doesn’t hit the front line until our service team has been through it. We’re looking at safety systems, drivetrain, brakes, tires, fluids, electrical, body integrity, and anything else that affects how that vehicle is going to perform for the next owner. If something doesn’t meet our standard, we address it before the vehicle is priced for sale. If it can’t be brought up to standard at a fair cost, it goes to wholesale auction instead of our lot.

If our name is on it, we stand behind it. That’s not a marketing line — it’s how the dealership has been run since 2005. When the service department lives in the same building as the sales floor, you can’t cut corners on a vehicle today and hope the customer doesn’t come back next month. They will. And we’ll be the ones working on it.

A GMC in our service bay — we service and inspect every make, not just Ford.

Ford Blue Certified Pre-Owned at Jay Malone Ford

Ford Blue Certified is Ford’s factory-backed used vehicle certification program — available only at authorized Ford dealers. The program is built around three things: eligibility standards, a comprehensive inspection, and a manufacturer-backed warranty. Our Ford Blue Certified inventory gives you the closest thing to new-vehicle confidence on a used vehicle.

An independent used lot or a Chevy dealership down the road can’t sell a Ford Blue Certified vehicle. The program is only available through authorized Ford dealers, with Ford-trained technicians, doing Ford’s certified inspection, with warranty backed by Ford Motor Company. That’s a meaningful difference when you’re buying used and you want manufacturer accountability behind the vehicle.

Worth flagging: Ford Blue Certified covers non-Ford vehicles too. If you’re buying a used Honda CR-V or a used Toyota RAV4 from us and it meets the eligibility standards, it can be sold as Ford Blue Certified. That’s a buying advantage independents and most other franchise dealers don’t have.

We Sell Used Vehicles From Every Brand

A big part of our used inventory is non-Ford. When customers trade in their current vehicle to buy a new Ford or used vehicle from us, we take all makes — Chevy, GMC, Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and whatever else rolls in. Anything that passes our service department inspection goes on the lot with our name behind it.

For buyers in Hutchinson and the surrounding area, that matters. You’re not locked into one brand just because of where you shop. Looking for a used Silverado? A used Tahoe? A used RAV4 or CR-V? We probably have one, or we can find you one through our wholesale network. Same inspection process. Same accountability. Same dealership.

If you’re looking for a specific make and model and don’t see it on our lot right now, tell us. We never charge extra to locate a vehicle, and our wholesale network covers most of the Upper Midwest. We can often find exactly what you’re looking for within a short timeframe.

Repairs You Can Trust — The Jay Malone Body Shop

Buying used means buying a vehicle that has a history. Sometimes that history includes prior repairs — small dings, bumper work, panel replacement — and you want to know whoever did that work knew what they were doing. At Jay Malone Ford, we have something most used car lots and even most franchise dealers in our market don’t: our own full-service body shop, voted Best Body Shop in Hutchinson.

If you’re buying used from us, our body shop has either inspected the vehicle for prior repair work or done the repair work themselves to factory standard before the vehicle hit the lot. After you buy, our body shop is here for anything that happens down the road — deer hit, parking lot scrape, hailstorm, full collision — whatever it is, we handle it in-house with technicians you already know.

Our body shop also handles insurance claims directly. If you’ve got a comprehensive or collision claim, we work with all major insurance companies, manage the paperwork, and get you back on the road as fast as possible. That’s the difference between buying from a dealership and buying from a used lot — the relationship doesn’t end at the bill of sale.

Why Buy a Used Vehicle From a Family-Owned Dealer?

When you buy a used vehicle from Jay Malone Ford, you’re not shaking hands with a regional manager or a corporate ownership group two states away. You’re shaking hands with the same family whose name is on the building — Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone. We’re a single-family dealership, not a chain, and that changes how decisions get made.

No locator fees. No factory-order markups. No pressure on the showroom floor. When we say “Your Dealer for Life,” we mean we want you to come back to us next time you need a vehicle — and the time after that. Which means every decision on the used lot has to make sense for the long term, not just the deal in front of us today.

If something isn’t right after the sale, you can ask for Jay, Jake, or Jordan by name. We’re here. We’ll take the call. That’s not something an independent used car lot can promise, and it’s not something a chain dealership two cities over is going to deliver either.

Community Investment Beyond the Showroom

Family ownership means we’re not just running a dealership — we’re raising our families in the same community we serve. That shows up in the kids’ sports teams we sponsor, the local schools we donate to, the Chamber events we host, and the community work that doesn’t show up on a sales report.

When you buy from us, a piece of that purchase goes right back into Hutchinson and central Minnesota. That’s a different kind of trade-in than what shows up on the title transfer — and it’s a real one.

Used Vehicles for Central Minnesota Buyers

Jay Malone Ford is located at 1165 Hwy 7 W in Hutchinson, MN — right on US-7 in the heart of McLeod County. Used vehicle buyers from across central Minnesota make the drive to us because the combination of inspected inventory, family ownership, on-site body shop, and a service department voted Best in Hutchinson is worth the trip.

Used buyers travel a wider radius than new buyers — usually because the specific used vehicle they want is at a specific dealership. We’ve had customers drive from beyond the Twin Cities for the right truck or SUV on our lot.
