Corwin Motors Kalispell review
I am a repeat customer for sales and service.
I am a repeat customer for sales and service. Used the internet this time to purchase my truck and Shawna answered the call. She was very helpful, courteous, answered all my questions and helped me close the deal. Brooke and Julie were great on finalizing the process. Also, dealt with parts and service today, and as usual, exceptional service from both.

CT Car Co, LLC review
Wasn't 100% Truthful, But good deal
Caught salesman in a lie. Bought car anyway. Paid cheap money, fixed what was wrong, flipped car, made $2500 clear. Beware OF $250. PAPERWORK FEE. Don't pay it. Negotiate price, never pay fee.
1996 Ford Explorer Limited review
BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
THIS VEHICLE IS FUN TO DRIVE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN. I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE. I LOVE HAVING THE V8 POWER OF THE OLD DAYS. NOT TOO CRAZY ABOUT THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE THOUGH. I RATHER HAVE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON DEMAND.
There are 4 matching cars close to your year range.
