Used Cars and SUVs With AWD | Sarasota 

In Florida, our highways are pretty good and we really don’t encounter the kind of conditions that frequently make them a driving hazard. But, when rain falls or in those times when you do need to take your vehicle off-road, it can be helpful to have a car equipped with an AWD system. 

 

Thankfully, we have solid selection of used options for cars, crossovers and SUVs that have AWD here in Sarasota. If nothing else, an AWD system gives you that extra peace of mind on the road, knowing you have superior grip than you would with a typical FWD setup.

How Does AWD Work?  

People often confuse AWD and 4WD. While the latter typically allows for torque to be sent to individual wheels, AWD is a more simplistic version. That is why it makes sense to put it on sedans and crossovers, whereas large trucks will generally have 4WD. 

 

With an AWD system, power can be sent to all four of the wheels when it is needed. This can vary by system, however, as many AWD systems today allow power to be sent to just the front wheels or just the rear wheels as well, helping optimize power output to where it is needed most. The wheels the need the most power will get it.

I recently purchased a used F-150 and it has it met every expectation and then some. I personally worked with Harold from the very begining and he is an amazing salesman. For the buisness as a whole, I have to say thank you for giving me such a great experience. Coming from someone who has been scammed out of a vehicle from a non big brand dealership, I was hesitant at first, but after reading all the reviews and thoroughly checking out the truck before purchase. I feel very confident with the... More

Gulf Coast Auto Brokers of Sarasota is a good place to buy a good used car. That’s my experience and therefore this recommendation. I got my BMW Z 4, 2004 Roadster 2.5i in good condition with only 88k miles, from them at a fair price. I was initially hesitant to drive over an hour from Tampa even to see the car. But when a motor car expert from Tampa-a friend of mine-said that Gulf Coast is good, reliable and he had bought two cars from them over the last few years, I decided to give it a try.... More

This was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. There was no pressure and no need to haggle over price. The car I bought was priced much less than any comparable car of the same year, mileage, and trim found online. I took it to an independent shop to have it checked out. The few minor things found were repaired in Gulf Coast’s shop without me even asking. Many thanks to Thomas, my salesman and Marcin, the owner.

I found the vehicle I wanted on line and set up a testdrive with Harold two days later. The car was ready to go when I arrived. It turned out the car didn't exactly fit my expectations. There was no pressure to buy it and Harold showed me other possibilities. I did test drive another, but decided I would keep looking. There was no attempt to dissuade me and I left feeling pleasantly surprised. I would certainly go to Gulf Coast again if I was in the market for one of their vehicles.

I had a great experience at Gulf Coast Autos. No crazy dealership fees or pressure. Reasonable trade in and cost of my new vehicle. Richard was laid back and easy to work with. Closed the deal on my car in 15 minutes! I love my Audi Q5.
