SWERVE AUTO - Longwood, Florida

I bought a 1992 Geo Metro LSi convertible with 80K MILES from all the way across the country, and I’m very happy about my purchase. Let me say, I have been looking for this exact car for years as these are very rare and you don’t see them on the road anymore. This one was in as best condition and as I’ve ever seen on any marketplace and had shockingly low miles. I was about to buy one not as good in Michigan from a random guy that same weekend so this one was listed at literally the exact perfect timing to a T. As soon as I saw the ad online, I knew it was meant for me so I called and Kevin helped me put a hold on it the same day. From then on, Adam helped me the rest of the way with wiring the money (which I had never done before and was nervous about), delivery of the car, specific photos of the car, and he had great customer service and was fun to talk to over the phone.

I had a lot of worries before doing this as I’m only 20, with not a crazy amount of money or experience, and I was basically buying this over the phone and needing it to be delivered 200 miles away on a specific day to a specific spot and weeks after I purchased it — all without me even seeing the car in person. I had been scammed by dealers in the past where I got sold a lemon with erased codes and erased dash lights and never got sent the title and then the dealer being shut down, so I was definitely trying to be careful with this purchase. I planned to fly down the same day it was scheduled to be delivered and Adam will tell ya I was super nervous about this and he helped a lot including even storing the car in his driveway for the time I bought it until it was delivered. Everything worked out perfectly and I was able to surprise my mom with this car as an early bday gift, exactly how I wanted to.

The car came in immaculate shape for its age, clearly garage kept with factory paint, and really the only thing I needed to do so far was to drain and refill all the fluids as they were getting old and to undercoat with fluid film to keep it in good shape. While undercoating and inspecting the frame, I found ZERO concerning rust. Drives and looks better than any other geo metro out there and there was no rust on the frame and the AC worked for a 33 year old car! Damn! All the parts were there, and everything was stock except the radio (was Bluetooth and was perfect as that’s exactly what I was looking for). I received the title already in a timely manner too

Though I wasn’t able to do this because I was out of state and limited with time, I would definitely advise always having a mechanic check out a car you wish to buy no matter where you buy it from because cars are almost always sold as is at these used car dealers and you should be confident with what you’re buying. I have a parts car of this same model so I’m not worried if I had to replace something as long as the engine and transmission and frame were good which they were and they exceeded my expectations. Used cars will never be perfect but the one I got from here was pretty damn close to it. It even came with a new battery, rebuilt transmission with less than 10k miles on it, 3 KEYS, a never-used Bluetooth stereo, and a factory convertible top window cover protective sheet (which NO ONE has anymore) included with it. I’ll attach a pic. I thought this whole thing was too good to be true so I decided to try my luck to see if it really was. Don’t know how everyone else’s experience with this dealer is as I’m only able to speak for mine but I was careful and I have no regrets and no complaints. Anyway this review is getting too long and I’d be surprised if anyone read this far but thank you guys again and I’ll take good care of this well-preserved geo metro 🙂

We found a '03 Toyota Sequoia - that great engine - at Swerve Fl. Our buying experience was very low pressure. He let us examine, test drive, and question at our own pace. We love the truck. I loved the cash buy, no dealer fees and the sellers knowledge. The truck was priced at a very reasonable rate. I would recommend you shop here for a vehicle.

To preface this review, it is not reasonable to expect to buy a used car that’s over 10 years old that has over 100k miles and assume that it will not need to have any maintenance items addressed unless you’re willing to pay well above the book value. Bearing this in mind, I’m very satisfied with my recent purchase from Swerve. The vehicle was in good cosmetic condition for the age and miles, and I went into the purchase knowing that the vehicle would need a relatively major (but routine) service. The buying experience was simple, efficient, and easy.

DO NOT SHOP HERE!! All of the other reviews regarding this place are absolutely spot on this place is an absolute scam and we will also be taking Kevin and Adam to court ASAP. Bought a 2008 Vulvo from Kevin 3 weeks ago and it was recommended to a family member that these guys were apparently great… NOPE! I should have guessed as to why the seller was so quiet when we were speaking with him. We test drove the car and asked if there were any known issues with it, he replied with “no you guys should be absolutely fine and that he’s driven it himself”. How these guys have not been investigated by the government by now is insane!

We ended up buying this car 3 weeks ago and not even a week later, the engine completely shuts down in the middle of the road! We tried starting it and it was just completely dead so now we have to buy a whole new engine for $7,000! Look I get it, it’s an old car and because it is, we don’t expect it to be perfect, of course it may have a minor problem or two that needs fixing, but Kevin and Adam did something VERY illegal which was that when we got the car towed and fixed by a mechanic, they discovered that there was break fluid that was poured into the engine. Even the mechanic himself was shocked as to what this guy had done to us.

This by the way, hides all the issues from the car, especially on carfax as none of this came up when we inspected it. We called Kevin back telling him what went down and he was completely irresponsible and gave us the same response as basically everyone else here which was that there’s nothing he can do and that all sales are final. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy from these guys unless you want to be scammed! And Kevin we WILL be coming after you with our lawyers, absolutely disgusting behavior from you both!

Complete scam do not buy from here! All carfax reviews are fake because they pour brake fluid in the engine to mask the problems. Only reason I even gave this place a single star was because Google wouldn’t let me submit zero stars. Bought a car from here a few weeks ago and it broke down in days and the engine was completely wrecked. Had to get the entire thing completely replaced! Adam and Kevin took NO responsibility either for what happened. Run as far from this place as you can! Please don’t make the mistake I did.

Buyer beware!! They just want your money. I bought a car it broke down not even 1 hour later when I was driving it home.They sent someone to look at but they couldn't fix. I called Zach and he said I drove off the lot. That it's my problem now didn't even offer another car! Mind you I had car for 1 hour can you say lemon. I have directed my friends to shop elsewhere

Worst place where you get scammed. All transmissions and engine are messed up and that’s why (Adam and his workers) don’t give you any warranty on their cars. Once you purchase the car and pickup the car they will never respond to your call.

Find good dealers who know how to operate a business efficiently and ethically and have a warranty on their vehicles.

Great experience with these guys. Honest laid back no pressure purchase. Found what I liked in my price range made the purchase and got home. If you want a cash car check them out. Kevin even remembered me from a previous purchase years ago!! It honestly made me glad I got my new ride from them
