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 just bought a car from gulf coast about 2 weeks ago and i have to say Harold was the kindest and most honest car salesmen i think ive ever met. He helped me find a car i love within what i wanted to spend.

It was very easy dealing with GCAB, specifically Harold & Patrick. The entire process from initial interest and signing and driving off the lot was hassle and problem free. They respond quickly to all questions and concerns; zero fluff and everything straight to the point. Thank you gentlemen!

So glad I got my first car from this dealer! Everyone was very kind and my experience was great. Troy, who was extremely helpful, initially assisted us over the phone since we live a few hours away and got the paperwork and everything ready to go. We knew he wouldn't be there on the day we were coming so when we arrived, another man helped us out... shout out to Basil! Super kind and patient and really helped me through the rest of the process! Thank you and thank you to everyone at Gulf Coast A... More

I saw a vehicle I was interested in online, gave these folks a call, and ended up driving home in said vehicle same day. Troy answered my initial inquiry and met me when I came down to see the car and test drive it, and once it was decided I'd buy the car also arranged for the car I drove (that I wasn't trading in) to be delivered back to my house so I could take the new one home. Art handled the financing efficiently and thoroughly and without pressuring me. To top it off, the car is in fantast... More

A wonderful experience! I bought a 2011 Corvette from this dealer. I felt like I walked back in time when it came to customer service. Mr Harold Lowe was the sales person who attended to me. I felt cared for and trusted through the whole process. I am so happy with the car and the way I was treated. I got a fair deal at a fair price and was treated with respect and compassion. This place is not like the rest!!! I highly recommend them, especially Mr Lowe... he was awesome! Thank you

Husband and I went there on a Sunday, just before closing.. we were quickly greeted by Harold who introduced himself to us, said if you are interested in anything, I’ll be inside... Immediately my husband said “we’re buying a car from here”. It was exactly the kind of salesmanship we wanted (meet and greet and Don’t follow us around like a puppy dog). Found a beautiful Volvo and went in to see Harold. Even though it was very close to closing he offered to let us test drive the car, which we d... More
