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

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!

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.

We loved our 2011 Prius but no longer needed to have a second vehicle, so we decided to sell it. I contacted 3 of the major players in this market, and I went with AutoNation. The customer service was outstanding, the price was good, and the whole process from beginning to end was incredibly easy. To be honest, we just wanted the car gone asap, and AutoNation was easy to navigate. I did everything online and made an appointment to take the car in for an inspection. The online form is really a checklist where you indicate the features of the car and what condition each of the major features is in. At my assigned time, I drove the vehicle to the store, and the representative looked over the car and revised the estimate down by a little due to a damaged computer screen (which you cannot report on the online form). (NOTE: The online form is a checklist and does not allow you to explain things much at all. That will happen at the dealership.) I liked the original price I was quoted, and I still liked the new price with the small deduction. I felt no pressure to sell at any point, and I agreed to the new price immediately. I submitted the car title (that I had brought with me), and the representative dealt with the paperwork. After about 30 minutes, he came back with all the forms and I signed. I gave him the keys, and I went home. SUCCESS! I recommend AutoNation when you want to sell your used vehicle.

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.

I am pleased to share my recent experience of purchasing a car from Parkway Auto Center, where I received exceptional service from Marcus Anzivino. He demonstrated remarkable patience and provided invaluable assistance throughout the process. After conducting a credit check, which did not yield the best results, Marcus advised me to contact my bank, make a payment on my credit card, and request a pre-auto loan. I followed his advice on Friday morning, but unfortunately, my bank declined my application. I promptly informed Marcus of the denial, despite having made a payment on my credit card in an effort to improve my chances of approval. I then inquired about the possibility of having my brother cosign the loan, to which Marcus agreed. He sent me a link where my brother could provide the necessary cosign information, and within 30 minutes, Marcus contacted me with the welcome news that my application had been approved. He inquired about a convenient time for me to collect my new vehicle. I was thrilled to receive this news, especially considering that my bank had previously declined my application and having my brother cosign was my last resort. With winter approaching, I was eager to acquire a reliable vehicle, so I informed my brother of the update, and we proceeded to sign the necessary paperwork the following day, on Saturday. I am delighted with my new car, and I would highly recommend Marcus to anyone seeking to purchase a vehicle. Thank you, Marcus, for your exceptional service throughout this process.

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

I finally decided on a car after visiting a few times. Each time the staff was very helpful and never once made me feel pressured or pushed into buying something. After I made my decision the rest of the process went so smooth with zero headaches. I would highly recommend this dealership, Chicago Motor Group, to my family and friends or anyone looking for a positive experience with buying a car!

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.

Great experience! Worked with me on financing and drive away with the car within an hour!

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.

We were looking for a used BMW X5 and found one at Boyko Motors, had a good experience working with Bryan and the sales team. Price was fair, financing was great and we were happy! Thank you

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!

TJ and Rod were excellent! TJ was patient and fought to get us the best deal possible. Rod let us use his office and helped us set up the electronics in our new car. As first time buyers we were very comfortable and would highly recommend this dealership, TJ, and Rod. I will be back when I need another car!

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.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The team at [Dealership Name] made the car-buying process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. They were knowledgeable, patient, and truly cared about helping me find the right vehicle. From test drive to paperwork, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I couldn’t be happier with my new BMW. I highly recommend! Had a wide selection of foreign vehicles all with great features and options. Would purchase another vehicle from them as mine has been running smooth since.

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.

Es muy bueno y tienen buenos carros en muy buenas condiciones , con pagos accesibles y muy buenos

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!!!

Great inventory. They sell hybrid cars. If you are looking for a gas saver car that’s the place you should go to…

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 owner Fawzy was a polite, respectful guy, letting us go around and taking it to a mechanic to check the car. Would recommend to anyone looking for cash cars.

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!

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

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.

Sales men were real helpful with the knowledge of what I need to do and will be going back to visit soon , now that I know what I need... I rate them a 10 out of 20 for very professional.

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.

Just purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Auto House Motors, had a good experience. Atmosphere was relaxed and my questions were handled thoughtfully. Quick financing too. Highly recommend them.

I am very happy with my Cx5 and very pleased with the Sales staff and Service Department. Excellent customer service and would highly recommend Blaise Alexander Hyundai, Mazda!

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.

They were very responsive to my request and got back to me in a timely manner. Although I didn’t go through with the sale I appreciate their professionalism and service

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.

I visited to look at a 2013 Sonata and ultimately decided to buy a 2022 Palisade for my whole family. I am impressed by the courtesy and service they offer. It is on another level. I will strongly recommend them to any friends or family members. This is their new location, and the staff, vehicle selection, and prices are excellent.

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 purchased a vehicle from Smart Chevrolet and had a small issue with it. I was referred to their service department where I met Chris. He was very nice and helpful. Chris did an excellent job on the repair and it did not cost me anything! I could not ask for a better experience any where else.

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.

Had good experience there and would buy again because they give you a 3 month warranty on there cars.

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 .
