What is the Monkey Lot?

Need a budget-friendly ride to get you from point A to point B (and maybe C if you're lucky)?

The Monkey Lot is Driven’s wholesale-to-the-public playground — full of vehicles that didn’t quite make the cut for our polished retail inventory.

Think of it like a Value Lot... but with way more personality (and way better stories). Our slogan is "They Leak! They Squeak! They Cheap!"

What Is a Monkey Lot Vehicle?

✅ Starts, runs, and drives (unless otherwise clearly stated)

✅ May have cosmetic flaws, mechanical quirks, high miles, be too old, or have accident history

✅ Checked for oil, coolant, and basic driving functionality — but that’s it

✅ Sold as-is, with no warranties or promises

✅ Some vehicles labeled "Mechanic’s Specials" if major repairs are needed (Clearly marked as such)

How Pricing Works on Monkey Lot Vehicles

• Prices Are Negotiable—but Only In Person:
• We’re open to reasonable offers, but only after you’ve come in and test-driven the vehicle. We don’t negotiate price over the phone, via text, or online. We want you to see and drive it first so you know exactly what you’re getting.
• No Shipping & Not Recommended for Out-of-Town Buyers:
• Monkey Lot vehicles are for local, in-person buyers only. We don’t ship these vehicles and we strongly discourage traveling from out of town for one. These are budget, as-is vehicles that need to be seen and driven in person.
• Strictly As-Is:
• These vehicles have not been inspected and we can’t guarantee their condition. They start, run, and drive off the lot, but beyond that, we make no promises. We highly recommend bringing your own mechanic if you want to have it inspected before buying.
• No Sight-Unseen Sales:
• For everyone’s protection, we don’t sell Monkey Lot vehicles without the buyer seeing and driving the vehicle in person first.

Why Shop the Monkey Lot?

Because not everyone needs a fully reconditioned car with all the bells and whistles.

Sometimes you just need some wheels to get you through — without emptying your wallet.

If you can live with a few dents, dings, or squeaky sounds, you can score an awesome deal at the Monkey Lot.

Bonus:

• Trade-ins welcome
• Financing may be available (O.A.C.)
