Yard report from Sarasota, FL: Suncoast Auto Villa runs about 137 vehicles, weighted toward late-model luxury cars. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 15 years on the books.
Lot address: 1396 Premier Ln, Sarasota, FL. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Sarasota lot gate.
- Doc fee: $399, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 99% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 3-month/3,000-mile limited warranty.
Lane verdict: legitimate operation. Fee sheet matched the quote, title work was clean, and the late-model luxury cars inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.
