Went here and worked with Jordan on financing for a Chevy Tahoe. I am so glad I did! This place is amazing and would recommend this place. Thank you again to Jordan for working with me and getting me the best deals.
1998 Ford Explorer review
The 4.0L SOC engine is one of Fords best ever. Has never let me down in over 200k mi. Very comfortable interior and good ride for vehicle of this type.

This car is seen other cars come and go it's been kept in the garage for a couple years just starting it up occasionally now I drive it for work hauling along stuff and it's still running strong. Wish I could find another like it!

1998 Ford Explorer review
Great so far! Bought 3/15/21 used for 1200 as it needed exhaust and brakes. My previous sedan died so in a hurry! First 4x4, love that! Rust just on rocker panels and door bottoms, not bad for a 175K MN truck. Love the ease of transporting large items in the back. Don't have to worry about getting stuck in snow piles either. Love the Pacific Green and matching interior. Even has a block warmer for those below zero weeks. Love sitting high up, I can see many vehicles in front of me. Rides like a truck, cause it has a truck frame which I did want. Service records showed the previous owners used semi synthetic oil and changed it regularly which is a MUST for these SOHC engines. Comfy and good visibility on the road. Keeper!

Remarket Space review
Easiest vehicle transaction I've ever had! Fast service and great deal! I will definitely use remarket space again.
1998 Ford Explorer review
I inherited this vehicle from my father who bought it new. It now has about 130,00 miles. I maintain it with regular service, and say yes to whatever the people at Valvoline recommend and whatever it tells me to do in the manual. You just have to keep on replacing a few parts now and then. I have replaced power steering pump, brakes, windshield wiper transmission, tires, battery, shifter lever, front ball joints, muffler, hydraulic arms that hold up the back window, and I think that's it in 20 years! At this point the electrical stuff is beginning to crap out (definitely repairable stuff): stereo dead, my door lock driver's side is dead, the cruise control no longer turns on, the driver's seat no longer moves forward and backward all the way. The ceiling is starting to disintegrate, the vinyl on the center island has cracked and disintegrated. Significant rust underneath, creeping up the sides just a little. But it just keeps on running!

Superior Mitsubishi review
I visited this dealer in search of a newer truck to replace my 1998 Frontier, got off to a bit of a rocky start, but in the end things worked out great. I highly recomend doing business with this dealership, the people are nice and really work for the customer.
1998 Ford Explorer review
The vehicle currently has 350k on it. XLT SOHC 4WD. Kept up with maintainence since new. Commute, tow, offroad in it. It does everything I need it to. Plemty of room to go camping and tow stuff, and small enough to drive around LA. Never let me down, towing from LA to Vegas, and commuting 100+ miles daily. Only thing is that the rear axle seals leaked but it was an easy fix. Keep up with maintainence, and you shouldn't have any issues. also don't drive it like a sports car, which it isn't, altho the v6 has plenty of power. Would recommend in a heartbeat. I still own the car, and while I have an 02 ranger, I still hold on to my explorer.
