Used smart cars for sale near Austin, MN

Great experience throughout the entire process. Will definitely start at Emmons for my next purchase.

I've had it five years no major issues at all. I take car of it, and it takes car of me! I've done the usyal needed, but nothing again major!

Great salesman was very polite and nice and knew his thing. knew about his car and what he was selling and what he was doing very fast paperwork got us on his way

We absolutely love our two Smart electrics. Virtually maintenance free, charge it up in the garage overnight. Bet we do 98% of our driving in them. Range is only 75 miles or so on a full charge, so that makes it tough for long trips, but around town they are perfect.

Great experience sales person was very helpful very good experience thanks for all your help.

I have a 2016 and I an 6’ 4” my wife is 5’ and we are both 70. We use it every day and we live in a retirement community. We can park it right beside the golf carts. It is fun to drive with good gas mileage. It is not our trip car for sure but it takes up very little space up in our garage. It feels like a regular car once you are driving it . In fact it feels like a sport car. I don’t get out of a regular car very well but this is almost like a SUV to get out of. Our other car is a Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige . When we go from the Smart to the GV70 you think you are in a Bentley! The 3 cylinder vibrates or shakes (not crazy)through the first 5 mph but after that it is fine. It is not a car for everyone but for us it is the cat’s meow. We use it every day while the GV70 goes weeks without moving.

Matt was our salesman. He was so knowledgeable of all the Toyota vehicles we were looking at. He was also very kind - no pressure (which I love). We had a great experience with Matt and learned a lot about Toyotas. Although we haven’t purchased a vehicle yet, when we do, Matt will be our salesman for sure!

we love our smart car! Matter of fact, our second one! Our first car we got T-boned, they hit me going 55-60 mph in my drivers door! My smart car saved my life!

A well rated car after the generally negative review above. I have been driving them for over two years now and just love their road character whether in the city or on long trips. I have also learned that they are tough little cars and very reliable along with great NHS crash results, way better that the average. We are past the era of driving half acre size cars !

I had been looking for a used vehicle and this dealership was very nice and never pushy like some can be.

Awesome! This car is much bigger and more powerful than it looks from the outside. The convertible is so much fun to drive. I have the electric, and the charge lasts for a long time. I have cut my expenses so much. No More gasoline!

Bought several cars all have been great. Thanks for everything. Audi r8, corvette c8 and bmw M8

I have owned this car 2008 smart for 3 years and it work great some minor issues like engine light that was just gas cap and heater whlch i removed and cleaned. i live where it is cold and it will start in really cold weather most of the time. Got good tires and winter driving is good. With more attention this car would sell better in canada and states. would not part with it .

We came all the way from Warner Robins to find a specific vehicle on the Childe website and they were able to show us the car immediately, everyone was super nice, including Josh and Mr Jimmy Childre Sr. We walked out of there in an hour with our new car and a huge smile. We will definitely be back!

This is my 2nd one, 1st was used for a 150 mile + a day 5 day week commute to the DC area. It's in it's element for local driving, parking, mpg, fun to drive(especially with convertible). If you install a Scan Gauge and use the manual paddle shifters, mid 50 mpg is easy. Interstate driving keeps the mpg to around 42 +. 1st one had some issues, but incompetent mechanics were most of the problems. Replacement a/c hoses run $1200 each (2)does require Premium fuel, I alternated between mid & prem. each tank on the 1st. one. Get an extended warranty, any major repairs may have to be done by MB dealer.

I am small; it is small and we meld well. I have tried to make myself buy another car but I have been with this one for 7 years and as it turns out, it will with me until it gives up. Quite simply, I thoroughly enjoy having it. Still fresh and neat looking. Have great mechanic whom I don't require, often.

After years of always having Ken help us with anything we needed, it was a pleasure having Josh help with our latest purchase. Thank you again!

I use this car for business purposes. I drive about 1500 miles per month. I live in Colorado so it?s cold in the winter. I get approximately 42 miles to the gallon in the winter and about 38 in the summer because of the air conditioning. This is definitely not a luxury vehicle but it?s really not bad especially for the price. It has a great turning radius. There is a lot more room inside then you would expect. It has a very tight suspension so you are very aware of every bump that you hit. It also has a 70 hp engine so if you expect to get from 0 to 60 in anything less than five minutes this probably isn?t the car for you. However, I have never had any issues with the car and is very reliable. I have put approximately 40,000 miles on it since I got it and it currently has 60,000. My biggest complaint with the car is that rattles regularly, like something is loose but I cannot figure out what it is. It is worth mentioning that this used to be a ?Car to Go? and who knows what they did to it to fit it for their credit card charging systems, so this may be their fault. You can hear road noise quite a bit in this car. I love the fact that it is little and you can park it anywhere. You could make a U-turn basically anywhere. It does not go well in the snow so if you live in a snowy climate you might consider something else unless you have a winter vehicle.

No comment .. I'm not ready to purchase a low used car yet. When I do I will call the dealership.. Hope you have a car like a 2019 Audi A3 AWD 2.0T

This is my 4th Electric Car. It has limitations (no fast charging), but it also is fun to drive and has a lot of storage places inside...seriously. I used to have a LEAF and still have a BMW I3, Tesla Model X and this in the garage. The ED is my go to for quick around town drives. Yes it takes 3 hours to charge if empty...but I knew that going in...and have never come home empty in any of the EVs.

The sales girl was very nice and polite and informative but I didn’t purchase any vehicle .

I picked up my 2011 earlier this year with 30k miles on it. It's a Passion with pretty much all the available options from that model year, with auto transmission and paddle-shifters. Once I got used to the automated-manual transmission, this thing is quite fun to drive. Using the paddle-shifters can really help in certain situations, too. It has plenty of pep, and moves quickly around town. Even on the freeway I find it quick and easy to get it up to 70 and to keep up with traffic. The cabin is fun, comfortable, and very spacious for the two passengers. I have more leg room and head room in this than in anything else I've owned, and I'm 6' 2", so that counts for a lot. The back hatch space isn't huge, but more than adequate for errands, light travel packing, grocery shopping, etc. I routinely get slightly more than the estimated fuel economy it is rated for, both for in town driving and freeway/combined. The ride is the biggest drawback to the Smart. Short wheelbase translates into feeling every pavement crack and chuck hole. At speed, it can be quite jarring. Also, on the freeway, tire ruts and strong winds require two hands firmly on the wheel. The optional bluetooth system (a factory option that replaces the clock in the right dash-mounted double gauges) work seamlessly with current smart phones for phone, navigation, music, etc., better in fact, than many newer cars' systems do. The "glass" roof in mine has the standard hazing effect these are prone to (makes the glass roof "sparkle" when looked through in certain sunlight conditions). I use it as my daily driver for a 12 mile commute of combined local and highway roads. The car has been very reliable, cheap to operate, comfortable, and fun to drive. It makes me smile.

IT WAS A LONG TRIP DUE TO TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, UPON ARRIVAL i FOUND NOBODY THERE, AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES WE MET A VERY BUSY WOMAN WHO GAVE US THE KEY FOR THE CROSSFIRE WE WANTED TO LOOK AT. WE STARTED IT UP BUT COULD NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE SEAT COULD NOT BE MOVED, THE BUTTON TO MOVE IT FORWARD WAS BROKEN, SO WE COULDN'T TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE, SEVERAL THINGS WERE NOT WORKING. SO WE SPOKE ABOUT IT TO THE WOMAN WHO WAS VERY NICE. WE LOOKED AT SOME OTHER CARS ON THE LOT, BUT THE XFIRE WAS WHAT i WAS AFTER. wE TALKED ABOUT PRICE AND WERE NOT EXCITED ABOUT THE CAR.

There is a website called evilution It goes over many smart car maintenance and known concerns even for my 2009 smart car for two passion. Get oil changed, tires are low cost to change. Gas is great 40 mpg. One Achilles of the car is the clutch actuator, but it isn’t broke it just needs to be cleaned and lubed with new gear grease not spray which only is a temporary fix.park car on ramps in park, make sure extension arm on actuator isn’t engaged (park position) , spray paint three bolts to try to put back in same position which in park should be snug against clutch plate in clutch housing , disconnect negative battery terminal, gently unsnap sensor and unscrew three bolts and remove actuator, remove and cleans rubber boot with soap water, cover sensor port so don’t get wet with towel, take apart actuator using hex screwdriver or star screwdriver, brake cleaner let dry, the. spray some white lithium oil in actuator generously , then apply generous gear lube in the drywall gun tube everywhere , hex actuator back together, lube tip clutch plate contact arm that makes contact with clutch plate in clutch housing, put rubber boot back on, screw back in same position snug against clutch plate for resistance to start, screw three bolts , connect sensor, connect negative terminal battery, start up will get wrench symbol till resets, move forward and back and check see it gears are shifting by moving a little, may not start make sure push arm to have snug tension of actuator extension arm on clutch plate in housing , without this tension may not start. Resistance or tension is required to start so tip must contact clutch plate. Note: if arm is extended when removed the spring will shoot it out and to start it you need to get tip shrunk from extended position which would can only do by starting car but you can’t start it because actuator does not fit back in position if extended and resistance extension is not recognized. so one person must attempting to start car while 2nd person connects sensor and doesn’t bolt three bolts in but holds actuator in hand and 2nd person under car pushes actuator against tip to simulate EXACT resistance tensiOn on extended arm to start, you are guessing on force, I used brick to push squeeze arm in corner squeezing tip into solid metal by pushing tip in corner then at same time have other person try to start car, guessing how much force it takes, , you have to replicate the exact tension of plate in housing to get car to start and extension arm to shrink to park position, once car starts th not will go to shrunk position and fit in park position in default position , used park brake , hold brakes on start for safety of second person, took like 40 tries and a dead battery from failed starts but will start then let run until it shrinks arm, once arm is shrunk then install in snug position or position spray painted before removed. Also, Spark plugs I unscrew and use snug rubber house to pull out from tight fit, oil changed at shop, check tires once a month, check fluids , battery is under passengers foot carpet, engine is in back hatch just lift carpet, some fluids in front engine, rear tail lights easy to replace just pinch lose. Two complains: seat do not extend back to lay back and take a nap after a long day, car is loud on highway noise but keeps up, other notes car makes a whine noise on start up for 30 seconds or 90 seconds seems normal. Gas mileage great, which could put bigger tires on for a farm or rough country roads but can cut plastic away from tire well I guess. Low tire center on f gravity is okay but need farm option. Mercedes dealership is a stealership but smart car forums, rock auto parts, and website evilution is great to do it yourself . Plastic exterior is forgiving on dents, use 3m to remove glue, use stickers to cover any blemishes.paint holds well since plastic.

I love this car! It's my second smart, only this one is a convertible. It's fun to drive, cute and turns heads. The convertible top is easy to use by one person. People stop me in parking lots all the time to ask about it and to take photos. Shifting is a little rough in the lower gears, but man, will she go. I've had her up to 90mph a few times without protest from the engine. I can comfortably pass slower traffic. You get a bit of road noise at high speeds. I bought the car 900 miles from home, and really enjoyed the trip back. A small seat cushion is a good idea on long drives, but she's perfectly comfortable around town. I can park nearly anywhere, a big plus in big city parking garages and on the street. A big thumbs up for the Smart Fortwo!

Thank you Cody Thongkham,for going beyond to find me what I was looking for!!!Anyone looking to start 2025 out with a new or even preowned go to Floyd Traylor Honda and ask for Cody he will take care of what ever you are looking for and get you in the price range you are looking for!!! The whole staff there is amazing… Thanks to everyone for the friendly smiles,Happy New Year to everyone there!!! I Love my Highlander

I’ve wanted a smart car for 15 years and finally decided to purchase one as a second vehicle. Great little car. Perfect for running errands. A fun little car to drive

Great car sales company. I have bought several cars over the years and always received the best service -- and great prices.

This has been a great vehicle for the last 6 years. It saves a lot of space in the garage, it's fun to drive with the manual transmission, and it stands out amongst all of the other cars on the road. It is a perfect fit for the beach town that I reside in. I have also driven it on long road trips and it was completely comfortable and capable. Personality and unique details seem to be difficult to find in most new vehicles today. I am grateful to own "compact, forward thinking" transportation that never gets boring and continues to turn heads.

When looking for a reasonably priced used cars I was so excited when I ran across 518 Auto Sales and the large selection of cars they had!!! The staff including Alex, Wendy, Kyle and Scott were awesome and made me feel right at home!! I will spread the word about this place!!!

Absolutely perfect city car! Park anywhere, squeeze into even the smallest of lanes. And when inside, you might as well be driving a full sized car. In terms of safety, the visibility in this car is outstanding. No blind spots. Last item, the switch from closed to Moon roof to convertible is easy and you can do it on the fly. Fun ride.

Great prices on great cars. I've bought and sold about 20 cars in my lifetime, and this was about the best experience I've had with a dealer. No stress, no haggling, a completely professional experience.

GREAT GAS MILLAGE. WILL BE PERFECT FOR A SMART CAR MEMBER. HAS 6 AIR BAGS AND IS ONE OF THE SAVEFT SMALL CARS BUILT. SPECIAL REAR WINDOW HARDWARE ALLOWING AIR TO PASS THROUGH WITH OUT THE NEED FOR THE AC.

The service department provided great service as always. Thanks to Cedric and his team for making sure my car is always ready for the road.

Best car, the most reliable, car I have owned. Surprisingly excellent traveling across the country, as I have done four times in the last year, absolutely zero problems.

Had a great experience getting a car through BMW. I had Douglas, who help me with pretty much the whole process. Has great customer service! He is the guy you want when it comes to picking out a car. Really knows his stuff!

It's a great car for running around town.Carges fast enough on 240V. Goes for about 75 miles on a charge. Has a lot oeatures for such a small car.
