I will never buy a car anywhere else. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and my salesperson was top notch.

2012 Ford Escape XLT review

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title.

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title. Was hit in the front. Only replacements I’ve made since purchase is the radiator and brakes/rotors. It gets me where I need to go. Good for the price I bought it. Currently has 169,000 miles on it. Can definitely drive for longer. I see many complaints about conditions of their car but that all depends on the previous owner.

Car Source review

Been looking and looking for my first Tesla EV.

Been looking and looking for my first Tesla EV. I spoke to Jake on the phone a few times. But Jake was off on the day I could come out. So, Jake had me meet with Alonzo what a great experience. I felt like I got a great deal but almost as important to me a great client experience! No back in forth just a deal that was good for all parties! P

Freddy's Big Lot review

Just made my final payment on a 2015 Hyundai.

Just made my final payment on a 2015 Hyundai. no problems with this car.. it was the 3rd i bought an s10 pickup and a Chevy silverado.. still have 2 and have been lucky all have not caused me any trouble.. when you buy a used car you do the same as Freddy you take a chance your car was well taken care of, and just as we take the word of Freddy or Bobby they have taken the word from where they got them.. They are fair and HONEST people..

Amazing mpg v6

It’s2023 I recently purchased a 2010 ford escape 3.0L v 6 139000 miles no rust very clean I paid 2500 for this car even when prices are so high I have seen these cars go easily for 6000 or more I came from a 4 runner that I loved but I am quickly looking this car not as heavy a little light for my taste but ok and not nearly the hp as the 4.0 but I am getting a whopping 28.8 mpg on highway and 25mpg in town sometimes dips to 23 but quickly pics back up on highway plenty of power comfort is wonderful drivability is amazing for a13 yo car I am more than impressed I recommend this car if you can find one today at an unbeatable price to buy it knowing what I know now I would not be afraid to pay 4500 for this car for you’ve done ok with this one my wife always has the new car I am fine with buying what I call beaters but they never really are she has a 15 explorer that she loves but she has grown pretty fond of my escape and the 28 mpg is this unheard of for this v6 anyone else seeing this with their 6 cyl v6 let me know .
