Used smart cars for sale under $8,000 near me

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.

It was good. It was good to spend. I like it. They answer my questions.

Bought new and has been 100% reliable. The Brabus edition is more sporty with sport tuned suspension offset wheels 17" wide rear 15" front . Porsche style dual exhaust. Drive it daily. I change the oil every 10k miles full synthetic. Air cleaner every year and run premium fuel. I add Marvel Mystery oil (4 oz) to the gas a few times a month and that's it. Runs just like new. Love the car. When it hits 200k I'll buy another one.

rEALLY HAVE NOPROBLEMS WITH NEW CAR. RUNS WELL, RIDES GOOD, STYLE TURNS HEADS..WHICH IS NICE FEELING AFTER DRIVING PARK AVES LAST 12-13 YEARS.

Great pressure-free experience, car was in good shape and sold at a low price. Would come back again!

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 experience with B&B Auto. The owners were very communicative throughout the process. Once at the dealership and checking out other cars they gave me all the time I needed, never felt pressured and were very transparent about the car itself and what to expect (I bought a '99 Mercedes so the mechanic talked me through some of the issues that might arise). Great experience overall.

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!

Great selection of vehicles and a no-pressure environment. The team was professional, transparent, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I appreciated being able to take my time without feeling rushed, and everything was handled efficiently. Overall, a very positive buying experience.

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.

I had no idea how stressful moving could be until I attempted it on my own. Thankfully, these movers saved the day. They arrived promptly, packed everything quickly, and ensured that nothing was damaged during the move. I really appreciated their attention to detail, especially with fragile items. The whole process was a lot less stressful with their help. I will definitely be using them again if I ever move!

I had mine for a long time, bought used as my first car, survived getting hit on the rear end, was simple enough for me and my dad to repair the few problems that popped up (at 164,000 miles) and kept going strong for me for 7 years until another accident got her totaled. I was perfectly safe from the accident, and the years I was driving it, it preformed fantastically. I see a lot of people complain about how it drives, and I will admit at first it was weird, but it really just takes you learning it. The shifts aren't random they're at specific speeds, and frankly if the shifting creates a problem you're either driving poorly or you have a mechanical problem. As long as you slowly go on the gas instead of suddenly slamming the pedal down the shifting is graceful. The issue I see some people mention about it feeling bad to control at highway speeds, I have not encountered. I drove 70mph highways 5+ times a week for years and never had a problem, did 85mph highways sometimes and still no problems. It has way enough room, I regularly had a 6'4" guy in the passenger and he was fine, I've had an almost 7 foot guy in the passenger and he admitted he was more comfortable in the Smart than any SUVs or Sedans he had been in. I'm a pretty small person so of course it's perfect for me, the turn radius and being able to park in essentially any space I want is amazing, the back actually has a lot of room and if you don't have a passenger you can extend it even more- I helped someone move with my Smart and while we didn't try furniture since we had a truck for that, it took 2 extra large boxes, a slew of plants, like 6 smaller boxes to fill gaps, 4 bags of vacuum packed linens, plus a decent amount of loose articles and knickknacks settled around, and it technically could have still held more. Absolutely fantastic car.

Autonation is a great place to get a new ride. Olivia salesperson was great finance manager was awesome helped us get vehicle we wanted and great deal.If interested in new ride definitely check them out

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.

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!

I had a great experience with purchasing process and Mark was really helpful and great.

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

Steven V. made the buying process seamless and easy. 10/10 would recommend for my next car purchase

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 .

Best experience I’ve ever had, Nelson was awesome, super knowledgeable and a very honest kind person got to meet Paul the Gm and he was also extremely helpful and nice. Thank you

I always get its so small. I bought this car just to drive to and from work after totaling my Subaru. I pay about 23 bucks for gas in the state of WA. I bought it preowned for 5,000 after taxes 7,400 with 25,000 miles on it. It's pretty good when driving. I won't lie, I'm a speed demon and this little car goes 90 mph. When its windy that's when the driving gets a little crazy. Maintenance for the car cost me about 500 bucks for two new tires and an alignment. The inside of the car is good. I usually use the passenger seat for my dog when we go to the park cause my husband would die if he was seen in it. The downside is I don't have a radio. But you can always install one

Very responsive, professional and timely to all of my inquiries. They were always accessible and informative with information to make the buying process easy.

This car meets all my around town driving! It is economical, I can park anywhere, and it turns heads! Maintenance is very easy.

I went to look at an '06 Miata I'd seen on line. They had 2. They worked with me on getting the one I wanted with the wheels off the other one. Excellent! They helped me with financing. I drove away with a car I've always wanted. Randy was very helpful and never pushy at all. Very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Parkway Auto

OK so I used to own a four2. Coupe. And i done it into the ground to the point of the wheel coming off! I had clocked 122k miles on that tiny engine. By thar time the engine was leaking oil, and obviously signs of wear and tear like the wheel incident were to tell me its getting old. Is had it 15 years. After paying to get it fixed to get out through its last mot, I knew it would not make the next one. Plus, it was only a matter of time before that engine gave up. And I didn't fancy taking that chance. So I traded her in and now drive a diff car. I would have bought a new smart but they're terribly over priced esp for 2 seats. Anyway... Time for change. I used to drive up and down the uk in that car following the avro vulcan. I must say, those seats do hurt after a long trip. But easily fixed with a cushion. I was also proud to have camouflaged the car to match the vulcan insignia.so much so was my obsession with that plane! I turned my car into the vulcan car. And its often get vulcan fanatics stop me and chat to complement me on how awesome my car looked. So before I changed, I removed all the decals. Like a factory reset. Vulcan was decommissioned therfore so was my vulcan car. Sad times as I had many happy memories driving that. I do miss the flappy paddles. And the insane turning circle and parking forwards in sideways spaces... Really peein people off ha ha. And I loved that car. It wasn't the prettiest looking. Funny looking are the 450. The 451 was the better looking model which superceded the 450. I do miss the brabus tractor wheel alloys. They were mad!! Widest wheels ever. And another thing. That car saved my life. The tridon safety cell. Id had a speeding car plough straight into me whilst I was parked. Had that car no cell I would not be here to tell this tale. Do to anyone asking are smart cars any good are they safe etc Yes they are. I used to take my car to car shows, as the vulcan car. And I'll never forget some old boy peering into my car saying "I wouldn't feel safe in THAT" how VERY wrong. Silly old fool. He's the kind who would tail gate me because I had a small car. I do wish though that they had stayed with the merc engines and not gone to Renault. Go figure.. 122 THOUSAND miles on a 698cc engine. I've owned fiat's prior to the smart and both broke down all the time. Gear boxes went, radiators over heating. I was forever getting the rescue out to collect me. Inevitably I think I will return to the smart. For me I'm old skool smart. You don't see many of them around now. The 450. I miss the waving to other smart drivers. All good fun. It's sad to think she's broken up now. It's bizarre.. On the day I went to buy my new car, I got out of the smart and locked it. It beeped. It never did that. Almost as if it was telling me not to leave it there... And so a chapter came to an end. Good night oyster.

Just bought a 370z. My salesman Teddy and the staff worked with me and now I'm riding g good!

Fun to drive, plenty of room for shopping, plenty of leg and head room. Easy to find parking. Very reliable. Low cost maintenance. Very economical. Plenty of pepp. Paddle shifter is great. Has heated seats. Suspension is a bit hard, but for the price, what do you expect. All in all, I love my 2009 Smart Fortwo Passion. Watch out, other drivers treat us badly. Don't know why. It's a GREAT 2nd car. I absolutely love it!!!

Fabulous experience with Kian who did everything he could do to make sure my needs were met and I got the car I wanted. Patience extreme! He truly rocks at this!

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.

Really good experience here. Everyone was laid back and helpful. The car was exactly as listed and super clean. I’d buy from them again

Great car for people who don't care about a lot of bells and whistles, but want a convenient and economic way to commute everyday. Don't need a lot of space to park. Wonderful car!

They did a Great job and worked for me as I asked. Everything was ready when I got there.

The car works for a 30-40 miles commute. It uses really less than 40MPG so you can fill the tank once a week. Easy to park almost everywhere. In term of comfort, it's comfortable as long as the road is in good condition. Some people complain about the gear box, but if you use it in manual shift mode, it works very well.

Although I didn't purchase the vehicle, George at East Coast was very attentive and thorough, would not hesitate to use them again if needed!

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.

Seems to be a good place to buy my vette from.shouldnt be much longer and I'll have another one.
