Our experience there was great.
Our experience there was great. Everyone would cheerfully answer our questions. Our sales person Sheila Passmore really took a lot of time explaining the workings of the car. We still have questions, but Sheila said that we could bug her anytime (we will try not to). She is such a helpful person. The whole purchase was made easy and relaxed, no pressure and no rush at anytime. We have dealt with the Defouw dealership since 2014 and have always had really good sevice.
I still have my Escort (98) I am the 2nd owner and have
I still have my Escort (98) I am the 2nd owner and have spent little to keep it in good condition. Low on gas, may not have all the bells and whistles the new cars do, but I don't have payments and she's only left me on the side of the road once. Had her over 12 years. Great little car. Worst thing about car is as I've gotten older it's hard getting out of it due to being low to the ground.

Great Value
After considering all my options, I decided to purchased a new '98 SE wagon because of it's versatility, value and predicted reliability. Though the ride is a bit bumpy & noisy, the manual 5 speed provides plenty of pep. Cost-wise, the battery, struts & tires were replaced, and fuel efficiency continues to be excellent. Shortly after buying the auto, I took a new position literally right around the corner from my home, so my mileage is slightly under 41K. It's dependable, versatile, and Still fun to drive - one of Ford's best products.
