Every November, our nation pauses to reflect, remember, and give thanks to the brave men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is a sacred reminder of the sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering courage required to protect the freedoms we enjoy every single day. From those who fought on distant shores to those who stand watch today, our military members represent the very best of the American spirit.
Here at Aztec Motors in Des Moines, Iowa, our gratitude extends far beyond a single day on the calendar. We believe that honoring our heroes means standing by them, supporting them, and making sure they have access to the reliable, high-quality transportation they deserve to live their lives to the fullest.
This Veterans Day, we want to extend a heartfelt, deeply personal invitation to all veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders throughout Des Moines and the surrounding Polk County communities. Come down to Aztec Motors today, take advantage of our exclusive holiday pricing, and let us show you what true appreciation looks like.
The fabric of our community in Des Moines is woven with the threads of service and sacrifice. Every day, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and military service members put their lives on the line for our safety. They are the backbone of our society—the first to run toward danger while everyone else steps back.
When a young man or woman raises their right hand and takes the oath of enlistment, they sign a blank check made payable to the United States of America, up to and including their very life. They miss birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and quiet evenings at home so that families in Iowa can sleep peacefully in their beds.
Similarly, our local first responders, our police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, answer the call at a moment's notice, dealing with crisis and chaos to bring order and healing to our neighborhoods.
At Aztec Motors, we recognize that words of thanks, while important, are only words. True appreciation requires action, support, and a commitment to helping our service members thrive when they return home or transition into civilian life. That is why we have dedicated this Veterans Day to rolling out the red carpet for every single veteran, active-duty service member, and first responder who walks through our doors.
For a veteran returning to civilian life, or an active-duty service member managing a demanding schedule, reliable transportation is not a luxury, it is an absolute necessity. Whether you are commuting to a civilian career across Des Moines, getting the kids to school, attending medical appointments at the VA hospital, or simply taking a weekend road trip to decompress, you need a vehicle you can trust completely.
Unfortunately, many returning veterans and hardworking families face an uphill battle when trying to secure auto financing. Traditional lenders and large corporate banks often look at rigid credit scores and automated algorithms rather than looking at a person's character, work ethic, and history of service.
At Aztec Motors, we refuse to let a bureaucratic credit system stand between a deserving veteran and a dependable vehicle. We believe that if you have served your country or your community, you deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness when buying a car.
When you make the trip to Aztec Motors in Des Moines, Iowa, you aren't just visiting a typical used car lot—you are stepping onto one of the finest pre-owned inventories in the entire region. We currently feature over 100 used vehicles in stock, meticulously hand-selected, inspected, and priced to fit your budget.
No matter what your driving needs or lifestyle demands may be, our diverse inventory has something special waiting for you:
If your daily routine involves commuting down I-235 or navigating downtown Des Moines traffic, fuel efficiency and comfort are top priorities. Our selection of pre-owned sedans and compact cars offers incredible gas mileage, modern safety features, smooth handling, and unbeatable affordability. From sleek commuter cars to spacious mid-size sedans, we have options that will keep your monthly fuel and maintenance costs low.
For those who need a vehicle that works as hard as they do, our inventory of pre-owned pickup trucks delivers serious muscle. Whether you are hauling gear for a weekend project, towing a boat to Lake Red Rock, or handling heavy-duty commercial work around Polk County, our trucks provide the towing capacity, four-wheel-drive capability, and rugged durability you need.
Life in Des Moines moves fast, and growing families need room to maneuver. Our extensive lineup of used SUVs and family crossovers combines passenger comfort with versatile cargo space. Featuring advanced safety ratings, all-weather traction for Iowa’s snowy winters, and modern entertainment systems for the kids, these vehicles are built to handle family road trips and grocery runs with ease.
Need maximum passenger capacity or cargo space for your growing business or active family? Our pre-owned minivans and cargo vans offer unmatched interior flexibility, sliding doors for easy loading, and comfortable seating configurations that make group travel an absolute breeze.
One of the biggest anxieties car buyers face is the fear of hearing the word "no." If your credit score has suffered due to unexpected medical bills, a sudden job transition, a difficult divorce, or past financial turbulence, traditional dealerships often turn you away without a second thought.
At Aztec Motors, we do things differently. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and a reliable vehicle to help them move forward.
We maintain strong relationships with a vast network of reputable outside lenders, allowing us to shop around and secure competitive financing rates for customers with good or established credit.
However, we don't stop there. We also have the ability to approve anyone with bad credit through our powerful Buy-Here-Pay-Here (BHPH) program.
What is Buy-Here-Pay-Here? Unlike traditional financing where a third-party bank dictates who gets a loan, our BHPH program means Aztec Motors is the bank. We finance our customers directly.
No Outside Bank Approval Needed: Because we make our own lending decisions right here on-site in Des Moines, we don't rely on automated credit score cutoffs. We look at your current job, your income, and your desire to get back on track.
Overcoming Past Financial Hurdles: It doesn’t matter if you have a previous bankruptcy, a past vehicle repossession, unpaid medical bills, or zero established credit history. Regardless of your credit score, you can get approved today at Aztec Motors!
Our in-house financing not only gets you behind the wheel immediately, but it also serves as a stepping stone to rebuild your credit health. By making steady, on-time payments, you actively demonstrate financial responsibility, helping to lift your credit score over time.
In a competitive market filled with countless options, why do drivers throughout Des Moines, West Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, and all of Polk County choose Aztec Motors?
The answer comes down to our core pillars: Transparency, Quality, Community Dedication, and Respect.

From the moment you walk through our doors, our professional sales and finance team treats you like family. We listen carefully to your needs, explain your financing options clearly, and work diligently to match you with a vehicle that fits your budget without stretching your finances.
We take immense pride in the quality of our inventory. Before any car, truck, SUV, or van is placed on our lot, it undergoes a comprehensive mechanical inspection by experienced technicians.
