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 had a great experience purchasing my 2016 mustang with Gulf Coast Auto Brokers. I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything, rather Basil was very patient with me and taking the time to answer all my questions (first time financing a vehicle). He also had a great sense of humor which is always a plus. And when it came time to sign papers, Patrick was also super helpful and patient. They have a great professional staff on deck and from what I can see, they have quality cars on the lot. Very gratefu... More

I can’t even express how great gulf coast auto brokers is. Firstly my sales guy was Basil and he was so kind attentive and was very patient with me and all my questions. After the purchase of my car I had additional questions and basil was so wonderful. He even called and checked on me to make sure I was happy. Can’t recommend basil enough!! On top of that ozzy was an amazing help too. So happy. Thanks again guys!
