Marty's Auto Sales review

"Excellent Experience at Marty's Auto Sales!

"Excellent Experience at Marty's Auto Sales! "I recently purchased a 2005 Subaru Forester from Marty's Auto Sales and had a fantastic experience. Casey, my sales professional, was incredibly helpful and patient. He answered all my questions thoroughly and went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable with my purchase. I highly recommend Marty's Auto Sales to anyone in the market for a used vehicle."

2006 Ford Explorer XLT review

I got my 2006 ford explorer eddie bauer Ltd.

I got my 2006 ford explorer eddie bauer Ltd. In 2008 used. I love it. It's 2024 I has the oil changes regularly (it's tells me) which is wonderful. Yes I needed tires obviously. But the only repairs it needed since I have it was the gear shift. The front axle got changed last year. And now the rear axle needs changing and they say some pieces are rusting. Now I did have an issue with it stopping when I would go over a speed bump. So took it to a repair shop close to work. BIG mistake. First they said it was a silinod (spelled wrong) Replaced Then they said it was the fuel tank. Replaced Then they said take it to Ford. They didn't know but gave me a list of things that will need done eventually. Spare plugs, etc. Finally after a month I got angry and took it up to Trump motors (repair shop) where my dad deals. And it ends up that in my ford explorer I have a emergency shut off. So on the passenger side front panel area. There is a pump button. If it happens just wait 2 minutes give it 2 or 3 pumps and start it up. They did/showed me that for free. So expensive lesson. But I absolutely love my Ford explorer. Wish I could keep it forever. But I realize it is older and now rear axle and rusted pieces, driver leather seat needs replaced and liner coming down. So I'm thinking I need to update. Hoping to get something similar. Oh yeah I'm also 5'2" and love sitting high and seeing everything.
