Used Ford cars for sale near Sarasota, FL under $799,982

Last week I purchased a BMW i3. The salesperson (Harold) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I live in St. Petersburg so much of our dealings was via phone and text. We agreed upon a price; I drove to Sarasota and was there approximately 20 minutes signing the paperwork and was on my way back to St. Petersburg. I got a great car at a fair price. They are very professional and highly recommend them.

I bought this truck used from Long-Lewis in Hoover, Alabama, in July 2025. I like the performance, gas mileage, and drive modes of the 3.5 Liter Twin Turbo with 10 Speed transmission. Lots of interior space, lots of interior and exterior lighting in the right places.

The guys at Skyway were great. I had a lot of questions on the 1970 FJ they had and they were very responsive. They took their time to help me make sure I was getting the car I wanted. I really appreciated that since most places don't even respond

I fell in love with car when it was new and didn’t have my own until decades later. I bought an in line 6, swapped the engine, and rear end. CJ Pony parts is awesome. Plug and play. Be prepared to drop 30k on your 20k “investment”, live life and have fun!!! All you need is a Phillips screw driver, an SAE socket set, and a credit card.

Purchased the platinum with Fox/BDS 4” coil over front w/ upgraded arms and dual sterling stabilizers on 37’s. Dream truck, tons of power and comfort. Has been in the shop for 4 months with 7 electrical failures. Great truck when it runs.

I worked with Ryan Tanski trading my 46 Ford Coupe for 70 Cutlass Convertible. I was giving what I felt was a fair price for my car. Overall the deal went down without a problem. Ryan was very good to work with. I got my Cutlass today and all is okay, no surprises at all. I would do the whole thing all over again. If your in the market for a classic definitely check them out.

I've had a my 1965 Mustang GT High Performance Convertible since my Dad bought me one new for making the Dean's List in High School and the Varsity Tennis team--May 1, 1965 Dad Paid $4,020,80 for this comfy manual 4-speed, front disc brakes, fog lamps, front seat belts, center console, AM Radio, with a Tachometer and Clock: My Father Believed that Power was safety when Passing cars--He wanted me to have the "Special Handling Package" for solid control which came with this model with manual steering, brakes, power top and front seat belts: His faith in me for handling a powerful car only made me drive that much safer--I never let him down; no tickets, no accidents, and I kept the car waxed, clean and garaged--saving the paint and interior as best I could--but it did need a new top and interior, and an engine overhaul after 150,000 miles in 1986--I read a review here where a man said it handles poorly--that may have been true with the basic model $2600 bare bones car but certainly not with the front disc brakes, 4-speed manual transmission and the "Special Handling Package" with Limited Slip--My car is very cozy and I've driven as far as Aptos CA to Everett WA in one haul, 1400 miles in 22 hours with a few rest stops, meals, good tunes, a warm heater, and comfort; and, were talking a convertible! Like any car one needs to read the manual to keep the car in shape and avoid breakdowns--If one follows the owners manual one will avoid any problems. I recall only one time over 700,000 miles I needed a tow truck for a faulty Alternator--my bad as this should be changed every 75,000 miles and I'd let it go over 125,000--AAA tow was free and the cost of a new Alternator was 29 bucks! Parts are inexpensive as over a 1/2 million of these cars were made in 1965 when we bought mine in May 1965 . My car has gone up in value ever year, is great for work or vacation with 2 kids--I get 18 miles to the gallon all around and can get 22 without my foot in it. it is now valued at $75,000 in Good Condition (mines a tad better as I've always had a garage); not bad for a car my Dad paid $4,020.80 for 56 years and 10 months ago.

I went into Sarasota Ford set on buying a car I had been eyeing for a while, but once my husband and I reviewed our budget, we realized it just wasn’t quite the right fit financially. Thankfully, our salesman Matthew Smith was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the entire process. He took the time to really listen and asked all the right questions—especially important to me as a new mom—to help us figure out what would be the best and most practical choice for our growing family. He offered several great options for us to test drive and compare, and never once made us feel pressured. In the end, we found the perfect vehicle, and I truly could not be happier with our decision. Matthew went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident and comfortable, and the entire dealership team made the trade-in and new vehicle paperwork process quick and seamless. I highly recommend Sarasota Ford and especially Matthew Smith—his knowledge, professionalism, and care made all the difference!

Purchased at 35k , now at 50k miles. No issues so far. Rides like new. Very,very stable on freeway and when making turns. Hybrid model has a heavy battery pinning down the car for extra road grip. My wife loves how stable it is. Our other SUV tilts during turns, but Fusion gives you a peace of mind that it won't overturn. Lumbar support seats are awesome, and pretty well designed. Also enjoying power seat adjust on front seats. Ideal commuter. Impressed to get 38 mpg town/freeway. I love toyota prius too but fusion is a better looking car IMHO. Only con is a small screen especially when backing up , but we have SE trim,so that's why. Loving fuel tank that's capless, 1 less thing to twist. Just insert that hose at a gas station and remove when done! The interior is also very quiet so taking a phone call is a breeze. Really loving intuitive physical button controls. We entertained an idea of getting another car with a big sensor screen and on-screen buttons, but we are not giving up our physical controls on Ford after all! I have read this is a very reliable car among American manufacturers. Piece of advise: but $20 lug nuts and replace stock ones on wheels ,because they get swollen, buldge and impossible to remove in field conditions.

I recently purchased a 2016 nissan rogue from Larry at this establishment. It was the most pleasant car purchase i ever made. Everyone was friendly, not pushy and made my purchase the best it could be. It was like buying from family! I would highly recommend this place if you need a car! Thank you all! Annie Ahlers

2014 Ford Focus. Best car I have ever driven. Fun to drive and I look sexy driving it. Passed it on to my daughter, 177000 miles and still runs great.

I tried to sell my C2 Corvette myself. After 6 months with no success, I decided to consign it with Skyway Classics. I’m so glad I did! Al and Ryan had in sold at a great price in less that 30 days. And, it was painless. They picked up my car and handled everything, and wired the agreed upon amount straight into my bank account. These guys are great!

I'm the 2nd owner of this car bone stock, I love the car other than the audio controls are a bit cumbersome when driving. Have 86 thousand kilometers on her and have never had any trouble. Rides like new, shifts, better than new as I changed the stock shifter to a Hurst. New BFG tires and ceramic brake pads. Confident enough to drive any where.

I live in Minnesota but saw my ultimate truck listed on line at Sarasota Ford . Purchasing a vehicle 1,800 miles away is not easy. You can’t go see the vehicle and test drive it but my sales person, Mathew Smith, made it a smooth process. We communicated via phone and text numerous times. He was always quick to respond to my questions and very knowledgeable about the truck He even took numerous videos of the vehicle sitting and being driven so I could see the vehicle and watch it perform . The purchase and funds transfer process was smooth and professional. Mathew also arranged shipping to my home . The truck is a custom from the dealership’s 707 performance shop and I couldn’t be happier.

Andy Maleszka from Sarasota Ford made my Mustang buying experience great. He made sure I understood all of the features that are in my new car.

My wife and I recently purchased a truck from Sarasota Ford and had the pleasure of working with Mike Bolton. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any question I had. I would definitely work with Mike again.

Shannon made this car buying process easy enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend working with Shannon. And Jeff the GM was outstandingly helpful extremely good at his job. It was a pleasure working with both of them!

2022 Outer Banks SAS screen freezes/Reboots constantly and it seems the car play stops working not sure if this is happening a lot I do know this is a frustrating experience

Communication was great. Always returned my calls in a timely manner. Knowledgable and very concerned about customer satisfaction. After purchasing my car I used their mechanics to make adjustments and replace parts. The work was well done. Attention to detail. Over the years, this will be my fourth early model car. If a fifth would be in my future, I’d again purchase from Skyway Classics.

There's nothing like the ride of a 1970 Mustang. From the feel of the of the powerful V8 to the looks you get cruising around in the city. I recommend for anybody.

I was having trouble: new iPhone 15Pro would not sync. Also and issue with navigation. Richard could not have been nicer.....even went inside to tell them how good he was. They are lucky to have him working for them.

This commercial van is perfect for for my business. It is very spacious and drives really great. It’s a very reliable van and fits all my needed supply’s.

Andy Maleszka was helping me buy an Explorer last week. He found exact model I was looking for and made my purchase a pleasant experience.

2017 Ford Explorer. I love my car. It runs great but I have had battery problem and trim has blown off my car on freeway. Have not had a lot of problems with it.

Once again Marc Kassel has been very quick to assist in answering questions and providing great recommendations. We continue to send referrals to Marc knowing the customer will be taken care of.

I've had my 2016 Focus SE for 9 years this year & will drive it until one of us dies. I've never had a problem with it. It gets great gas mileage, is comfortable & roomy. I've hauled many things that others thought wouldn't fit but with the back seats folded down ...no problem. I would recommend a Focus to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle.

Great job Richard and Selena thanks for helping me with checkout and helping me with the survey! Awesome

The F-350 King Ranch is the most comfortable riding, most powerful & reliable, best towing and handling of any truck on the market. We drove all brands and selected the F-350 hands down. It tows 5th wheels with ease and it's so stable it feels like it is on rails. The interior is beautiful, the ride is smooth and quiet, and the controls are superior.

I had a great experience there everyone was very helpful and answered all my questions. I am still interested in the 65GTO. I will be back 😁

I love this car. So many mods can be done to make it your own and unique to you. Move currently produces more hp than a stock GT 350. The looks and performance are outstanding for a car in this price range. My only gripes are that occasionally one of the mirrors (actually happens on both sides just not at the same time) will go all the way in one direction until it can't go anymore then click constantly until you press that mirror and touch the manual adjust button. Then you can hit your pre set of you have one and everything will be fine. It's always when I unlock the car to get in that this happens and it's totally random. If course the dealer can never find anything wrong with it. My other gripe was that on occasion it wouldn't recognize my fob. The only way I could start the car was to lift up the cup holder mat and stick the fob in the slot. But then if I went somewhere and turned the car off, it would be fine. Again totally weird and random. Overall though, I wouldn't give this car up for anything. So much fun to drive, and the sound of that V8 exhaust just gets the blood flowing. Not to mention the all the looks you'll get from people.

We bought our expedition in 2022 used with 23k miles. Got the cam phasers replaced right away under warranty. Other than that the only thing needing work was the front axle seal. Replaced under warranty as well. Overall an excellent vehicle. We occasionally get a weird or harsh shift but that happens maybe once a month and doesn’t cause any drivability issues. Lastly, I had to unplug the hands free power liftgate sensor as it had a tendency to close on you while you were loading groceries. Not a big deal to do without imo. The versatility of the interior is top notch if you have multiple kids in car seats. The cargo area is huge on the max. The base stereo could be better but it’s not bad. Comfy on long roadtrips. We have the max tow package and tow our 6500lb boat all summer and it handles it with ease. We average about 16 mpg but we don’t drive it gently. We checked out the suburban before we bought this and I wasn’t a fan of the seat versatility or lack there-of and the very high rear cargo floor.

It has been a pleasure working with Greg Mathis, at Mathews-Currie Ford. Greg made it so easy to order & take delivery of my New Maverick pickup. Always prompt at returning phone calls. Thanks Greg , Keep smiling Noah Weiler

Wife's car ,working at home not many miles low 20k as of2024 June. Still I wonder about trans fluid because of time. Problem that bugs me is the radio. Static in AM off and on ,and of course the business station 1220am about the market. UGH!! Third lease of explorer, so low in miles ,made it a purchase. 🤞👍

Excellent value for the price. Do not purchase this vehicle without the active exhaust option. The fake vents are disappointing but otherwise the car is perfect.
