Used Buick for Sale in Des Moines, IA

Service department daw friendly and helpful. Jeremiah even showed me some settings on the console that I couldn’t figure out. He was super helpful.

I drove the Buick Encore Essence 2017 with sun roof during a 10 day stay in Arizona for vacation. I originally rented a Nissan sedan but they were out so I took 'the blue SUV'. I was 5 miles north on route 17 when I noticed how quiet the ride was. Then a text came over the Android Auto, which I didn't realized I hooked up by connecting the USB cable to the charger. I found the interior to be very intuitive. The long ride from Phoenix to Sedona was very enjoyable the heated steering wheel and seats plus motorized drivers seat. The pick up climbing the mountain grades was easy as was passing trucks and cars. It doesn't have crazy horse power by any means by it performed fine. The keyless entry and start were great since I was always carrying backpack and gear, no fumbling for the keys. Then I drove back down to Phoenix for 5 days and it handled the off dirt roads to the trail head fine. I came home and 2 weeks later I traded in my loyal Subaru Impreza wagon that I had for 6 years. I enjoyed the Impreza but it has a CVT trans and I wanted to drive a traditions auto trans. The Encore has 25 MPG +/- and I'm ok with that. I purchased the AWD as I live in Massachusetts and NO... FWD with snow tires IS NOT the same thing. So test driving a car for 10 days informed my of how the car runs on average and when snow came in January the Encore handled great with the AWD. Four months owning my Buick Encore Essence now and very happy. It is small on the inside, about the same cubic storage dimensions as a Subaru Impreza Wagon but the off ground height is also what I wanted in my next car. It has great head room, leg room and the leather seats are ALL leather and stitched great, not pleather or 'leather trimmed'. Back seats can squeeze 3 adults but 2 adults for comfort, same beautiful leather seats in back. Soft touch materials, nice dash, nothing flashy but more classic and understated. I added OEM chrome side body molding and chrome wind deflector as well as custom rain guards. Now my car is my own. The aluminum painted grey wheels are awesome too. Very happy!

I moved to Iowa and discovered that the only Infiniti dealership would be in Des Moines, about 120 miles from home. I contacted them to have my car serviced (scheduled maintenance) and they offered to pick-up the car at home and drop off a loaner. It takes a little bit more time than just walking in for service (one day for travel each way, plus the service), but it is a VERY good perk, as it is convenient and do not cost anything. All people that I dealt with were nice and everything went as expected. The only small downside is that the loaner is far from the same level from my car. However, this is something you can live with, considering the benefits.

As expected the best choice in a 3 row SUV.I have owned 2007;2011 and now 2019 Enclaves,this is my statement on this car.What else can be said.

Needed new bumper cover, windshield on my 2004 MINI. Made appointment at a convenient time, car was done a couple of days later. Work is well done - no wind whistles from the new windshield, seams at bumper cover line up perfectly and color is so close to perfect match for 13-year-old paint you can't tell it's newer. Price charged was reasonable.

Comfortable for all passengers front and rear,, easy to drive, love the blind spot warning via the alerts in mirrors, lots of power and great fuel mileage around town and on the open road.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

I love everything about this car! It is so comfortable and quiet. Easy to get into and out of. It meets all my needs. I love it more everyday! Definitely not your grandma’s car!

I purchased a low mileage used Suzuki from Sam's and had a great experience at the store, throughout the buying process. Unfortunately, less than a week and half later, the engine block blew out and I knew that we did not have a warranty on the vehicle. I called Sam's in a panic, as we definitely could not afford to be without a car but also couldn't afford to pay full price for another one. I spoke with Brooke's and he was very compassionate and understanding of our situation and worked with us to make things right, even though they hadn't done anything wrong and had no legal obligation to do so. I wish their were more dealerships like this out there! They treated us like, I assume, they would want to be treated in this situation: with compassion and understanding.

I bought this Buick Verano Leather Group to replace my ailing 2000 Chevrolet Silverado that had reached 230K. This car averages around 28 mpg on my commute, but 32 mpg if I am on a highway trip. The power is solid at 180 hp (my 79 Trans Am V8 was 185). This is an extremely comfortable ride for the price point. Extemely quiet (better than my wife's Cadillac SRX). The Bose Premium Sound System is really nice. I also love my sunroof. There are three things on the 2013 that I do not like. The passenger seat is manual adjustment. The trunk does not have an outside button to open. There is no Homelink (corrected in 2015 year). I have 120K miles now and still solid. I have replaced two failed items. O2 sensor $70 and VVT Solenoid $42 (did my own work). I also have just started having issues that another person mentioned with the AC switching from cool to hot. The coolant is fine, so it is something else. I have also been experiencing intermittant issues with my seat warmer. Both of these issues are controlled from the center control panel, which is a high possible issue. (This part is $125 from GM Parts Direct...I will let you know if it fixes the issue). All in all this has been a solid car that I would by again. The used ones out there are a good value.

We bought a hail damaged car that is hard to see the damage and our daughter has been very happy with her new car.

The car met all of my needs. I like everything about it. It runs exactly as it performed during the test drive. The car is in very good shape both outside and the way it runs.

600 miles into ownership and very happy with our purchase. The car is very quiet, rides very smoothly, and is very easy to drive. So far, we are averaging better than 30 mpg in combined driving. The kids (16 & 8 years old) tell me the backseat is much more roomy than mom's SUV. The only thing I don't like at this point is the Auto-Stop feature, which is currently not able to be bypassed or otherwise shut off

Everyone at Bob Brown was responsive and accommodating,from the sales dept, finance dept, to the detailing. They listened to what I was saying or asking and responded quickly. Ninety percent of this deal was accomplished via e-mail, within 48 hours. It was all, the best new vehicle buying experience I've ever had.

I am enjoying all the features that are different from my last car. The ride is so comfortable, and I really enjoy driving the car!

I'm thrilled that there are still dealerships in existence to service Saturns, especially for the more technical repairs. Overall, service on the car and the customer service by Bob Brown in Ankeny were really good.

The car had all the options I wanted: the color of car, Bose sound system, sunroof, and the turbo power, color of interior and the spacious seating area.

Kristine VanWinkle was very rude and disrespectful when I went in for my estimate. She was very rude on the phone when I was told I would have the estimate emailed to me and had to call and remind them because I had yet to get it. She rolled her eyes when I had to go to my car to get my insurance information as if i was wasting her time and she would rather be doing other things.I wouldn't ever go back to have to deal with her. Haris was very nice and helpful during the process. I was updated by him on the progress and when they found additional damage. I wish I would have also had a time it would have been done so I could have had set time in getting my rental car back to the shop and get my car in the same trip.

Great small SUV with all the latest in technology. I get great gas mileage 38 on the highway and around 32 combined. Has adequate pickup; Buick sales rep told me about Trifecta performance tuning which livened up the vehicle. (optional aftermarket engine trans tuning software)

Taking my vehicle to Deery Chevrolet in Pleasant Hill, Iowa is the best decision I can make. They keep my vehicle running well and keeps repair prices competitive. The work is always completed in a timely manner and there is no return trips for incomplete work done. Their courtesy drivers are great about taking me home and picking me up so I don't have to spend my time at the dealership while my vehicle is being serviced. Great place to go for all my vehicle needs.

driver seat terrible hard on hips i am thin and still hurts the hard sides to hold up the seat apolstery seat selection is weird

I received excellent treatment from the time I made the appointment with service rep Angie until I drove away in my freshly washed vehicle following performance of the requested service.

The room in this mid size SUV with third row seating is absolutely amazing. I'm 5'9" and I don't have to crouch down to move through the back area. I barely have to bend any further than I did in my minivan and that amazes me, I thought I'd be sacrificing a lot of room moving from a van to an SUV but that is not the case here. The only real complaint I have is that I purchased the 6 cylinder AWD and I think definitely go for the 8 cylinder if you have the option. You're going to break even in the gas mileage department and the extra power is noticeably worth it, in my opinion. All in all, I think Buick hit it out of the park with this ride!

My Buick salesman telephoned to inform me of some special deals on some new 2016 models specially priced ahead of the release of the 2017 models. I am thrilled with my new 2016 Buick Lacrosse and especially because of its safety features including a back-up camera and blind-spot warnings. What more can I say!!

Great car!! Many great features. Overall it’s just what I wanted, a compact SUV that rides and handles like a small luxury car. Everything I expected It to be.

My salesman was very helpful at explaining the options for my purchase. They provided excellent customer service in the sale and the overview of the features of my new vehicle. Great help in setting up the onstar. It was a hassle free experience. Thank you so much

The right car for people who has a big family. people will notice the fact that the car has plenty of space. i'm driving it for more than year and has no problem with this car. i have to sell it because i am moving to another state.

I have been looking for a new car for about two months now and decided to look into a new Ford. A few weeks ago I was attending a wresting camp in Iowa and decided to conpare prices to those in Kansas. Ames Ford and Lincoln was one of the dealerships I looked at while I was in Iowa. I was blown away by the customer service. The business was very well organized and I received great support from the staff. One employee named Kerrigan, made my experience exceptional! He left a great impression of himself and Ames Ford and Lincoln. Although I did not buy a vehicle, Mr. Kohnen made my experience at Ames Ford and Lincoln exceptional. I would highly recommend looking into buying a car from this dealership.

I own a "base" version of this vehicle. Base is figurative term with all ther stand features. Remote start, power everything, velvet like cloth seats, woodgrain trim and chrome. My vehicle is FWD and has zero issues performing in ther massive amounts of rain. The vehicle also supports generous ground clearance making unexpected hazards no issue. Extensive amount of storage is a bonus for active families.

We just purchased our second new Toyota vehicle from Wilson Toyota in Ames. We purchased a Toyota Venza in 2013. That purchase experience went smoothly, and we have been very satisfied with the car. Wilson Toyota has handled all service for our Venza, and we have been highly satisfied with their customer service. Our positive experience brought us back to Wilson Toyota for our most recent purchase of a 2018 Highlander Hybrid. We spent a considerable amount of time with our sales rep, Jacob Harmelink, exploring vehicle features of both the RAV4 and the Highlander before settling on the Highlander Hybrid. Because Wilson Toyota didn't have a vehicle on the lot that had the specific features we preferred, Jacob arranged to get our vehicle from another dealer. In the end, we got the vehicle we wanted. Finalizing the purchase went very smoothly. Thus, we've had another positive purchase experience with Wilson Toyota.

This car is comfortable, has a quiet cabin, and the HP to get moving, Has the room to fit 5 people, Has fold down seats to expand the trunk.

This car exceeded our expectations! Such a stylish car with a comfortable ride and so many options. We couldn't be happier with the quality and performance of this car.

We replaced our 2014 Enclave with a 2019 Enclave. The upgrades fit everything we were looking for. Very satisfied with our choice. Would recommend this dealer

This SUV met all of our needs, The legroom is amazing,the quite ride plus all the features this SUV has, very satisfied with this purchase.

This was our second purchase at Deery of Ames, and it matched our first, although the cast of characters was different than the first The overall process was wonderful and painless. Geoffrey (yes, i spelled it correctly) was a true pleasure to deal with. He ended up more of a friend than a salesman after busting his butt to help us get the deal we wanted/needed. His personable nature and relaxed negotiating was a refreshing change from the usual "chasers" one deals with when driving onto a dealership. Our finance guy, Doug was also extremely helpful to us when it came down to the end result. Doug was able to facilitate the closing of the deal to everyone's satisfaction and was so polite and eager to please. If you need to buy a new or used car, go to Deery in Ames and ask for Geoff. He is very easygoing and won't try to con you. If you have done your research (like my wife did) and know what you want, he will do all he can to make it happen and Doug will be straightforward with you and make sure you get what you need. In the end, my experience was pleasant, un-pressured and successful. I cannot say enough good things about Geoffrey Brown!

Roomy, comfortable. Good on gas. Fully loaded. No complaints. Luxury slot of amenities, extras. Only thing missing is an owners manual. R e a l l y
