Buying pre-owned makes the most sense when the vehicle was built to hold up in the first place. That is a big part of the appeal behind used Mazda SUVs in Indianapolis, Indiana. At Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda, every crossover on our lot has been through our shop before it ever wears a price.
The Ray Skillman name has been part of local driveways since 1980, and our Mazda store has served the northeast side since 2010. That history matters most on the pre-owned side of the business, because a dealership planning to be here in twenty years is careful about what it puts on the lot today.
A crossover takes its steepest depreciation hit in the first couple of years. Let someone else absorb that, and suddenly a well-equipped CX-5 with leather, a sunroof, and blind-spot monitoring lands in the same payment range as a stripped-down new compact. The features on your wish list no longer feel like an upgrade you have to talk yourself into.
Cheap and worthwhile are two different things, though, and that gap is where we spend our time. Before any used Mazda SUVs we take in go up for sale, our team pulls the history report, checks the maintenance record, and puts it on a lift. Brakes, tires, fluids, electronics, and anything the report flags all get looked at. Whatever needs attention gets handled before the keys ever change hands.
Our finance team works with a long list of national banks and local lenders, which gives us room to shop your application rather than take the first answer. First-time buyer, thin credit file, a few bumps in your history: none of that automatically closes the door. Fill out the secure pre-approval form online, and you will know where you stand before you ever sit down with us.
Trading something in usually helps the math too. Run your current vehicle through our Value Your Trade tool, bring it by to confirm the number, and apply it straight to the SUV you picked out.
Plenty of shoppers walk in expecting the whole thing to take a full Saturday. It rarely does. Between the online tools, a lot you can walk without being chased, and a team that answers questions plainly, most people are surprised by how much of the process is already behind them by the time they take a test drive.

Drivers across Indianapolis, Indiana, have leaned on the Ray Skillman family for more than four decades, and our Mazda store carries that same standard into every pre-owned crossover we sell. Whether you are eyeing a CX-30 for the commute or a CX-90 for a growing household, we will hand you the keys and let the drive make the case.
Browse our current selection online, then swing by the showroom on the northeast side when you are ready to see one in person. We will have it pulled up front and waiting.
Our pre-owned selection typically includes the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-9, CX-70, and CX-90, along with the occasional CX-3. Availability changes weekly as trade-ins and lease returns come through, so the best move is to browse our used Mazda SUVs in Indianapolis, Indiana. Call us about anything that catches your eye. If we do not have it today, we can often tell you when something similar is coming.
A Certified Pre-Owned Mazda has passed a factory inspection process and carries added warranty coverage backed by Mazda. A standard used vehicle costs less up front and still goes through our own reconditioning process before it is offered for sale. Our team at Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda can walk you through the differences so you can weigh the coverage against the price.
The CX-9 and the CX-90 are the two three-row crossovers in the Mazda family, and both seat up to seven or eight depending on the seating setup. The CX-9 has been around longer, so it tends to be the more affordable of the two on the used market. We can put both in front of you on the same visit if you want to compare the second-row and third-row space.
Yes. Mazda tunes its crossovers for steady highway manners and responsive steering, which helps on a loop that alternates between open stretches and sudden slowdowns. The compact CX-5 and CX-30 also fit tight downtown parking garages better than a full-size SUV. Every model we sell comes with driver assistance features that take some of the sting out of stop-and-go traffic.
Yes, and you do not have to own a Mazda to trade it in. Start with the Value Your Trade tool on our site for a ballpark figure, then bring the vehicle by so we can confirm the offer in person. Whatever it appraises for gets applied straight to your next SUV, which lowers the amount you need to finance.
We do. Our Mazda-certified technicians handle everything from oil changes to major repairs, and they work on all makes and models, not only Mazda. Buying from a dealership with a full-service department on-site means you already know where to go for the first oil change and every one after that. Service specials rotate monthly, so it pays to check before you schedule.
Every vehicle we take in gets a vehicle history review and a hands-on inspection by our technicians before it is priced. We look at brakes, tires, fluids, electronics, and anything the history report flags rather than stopping at the odometer reading. If a vehicle does not meet our standard, we do not put it on the front line.
