It was a very good experience.
It was a very good experience. The representatives were courteous and the work was professionally done. The work was done in a timely manner. I was completely satisfied.
18 Years and 185k miles
Most reliable vehicle I have owned. Bought used in 2002 and still use it daily with 185k miles. Changed the coolant and transmission fluids a few times and oil/filter every 3000 miles because that’s what my dad did. Passes California smog, no oil leaks or burning, keeps wheel alignment, no major repairs. Not as smooth a ride like a new one but maybe new shocks are needed.

Purchased a Used 2021 Ford Expedition Max Limited from
Purchased a Used 2021 Ford Expedition Max Limited from this dealership that I first viewed on Cars.com. Inquired with the Sale Consultant Don Newton and requested additional pictures of the vehicle. Don sent me the photos that same day. Set up a time to view and test drive the vehicle and it was by far the most enjoyable vehicle purchase I've had to date. Don was very knowledgeable about the features of the vehicle and the whole purchasing process was extremely laid back with no pressure to purchase. I was then passed off to Cody Heath the Finance Manager and that was a seamless process as well. I was looking to purchase an extended warranty and I had previously shopped around prior to my purchase of this vehicle and decided to go with the extended warranty Cody had recommended. I did tell both of them after the whole process that this was by far the best experience I've had purchasing a vehicle. I would highly recommend this dealership.
I've driven this for 20yrs
This SUV has been going strong for 20yrs. It's been a total work horse. Great in the snow and rain. I had minimal problems with it. It's safe, heavy & strong. I have my wife take it to work in bad weather. I have total faith in it keeping her safe. This is build so strong & heavy I have no doubt in her walking away from any accident. It's been strong for 20yrs I bet it still has another 5 left easy.
