Used 2016 Ford Explorer for Sale in Des Moines, IA

As a mechanic of many years I have been to more car lots than i care to remember helping others pick a car, when I say this dealer stands alone I am not exaggerating, here is my experience and you be the judge. After researching a couple months on the Lincoln I wanted through various sites I decided this dealer had one that interested me so I sent in an application online. Now life has been hard on most of us, so like others my credit score doesnt reflect the hard working responsible person i truely am, and I had expectations of a long search with many pitfalls. I was called by a gentleman named Tom who wanted to know if i had a certain car in mind, of course I already knew the exact one i wanted so I told him and he asked me to come in the next day for a test drive. All the usual things you expect when you open that door to salesmen. I arrived the next day early to have a look and get my first no of the search, Tom brought up the car and while i was on my test drive he checked over my trade in which i already knew wasnt worth much in resale value. I came back and had a seat with him, the atmosphere was relaxing and we carried on an nice conversation as he gathered the information needed for finance to check me out. At no point did I feel pressured or really even feel like i was being sold anything. A couple hours passed while I looked around the showroom at beautiful 1950's Styling, neon signs, old style gas pumps, a coke machine that vended real glass bottles, which Tom showed us as he provided a free coke, even a vintage corvette relaxing in the corner. Tom suggested that Kenny could be busy for awhile trying to find financing for me as he was receiving declines so far and we thanked him for the efforts and left as I expected the case would be. A couple hours passed and my phone rings, as I pick it up and see who is calling I made the comment to my girl, here comes the no. Kenny was on the other end when I answered and told me he had tried many places and I was approved for the loan, huh wha ?? Umm shock fades and I ask ok when can I finalize the deal. Within two more hours I was out and enjoying the new car. If you have been keeping track, thats a total of 6 hours from start to finish. Later when looking at the series of messages sent to me by credit karma I can attest to the work Kenny put in to get me approved as the list of credit inquires was numerous. Most places would not have gotten me approved or pushed for a cheaper car, more down payment, a co signer or simply said no and moved on to the next customer. If you see a car you want from this dealer do yourself a favor and stop in or call or send in an online application, This dealership is the one you have always wanted to deal with and never found.

Has everything you could ever want in a car. We have a 2016 Ford Explorer limited. Seems to have every option ever invented ! Even has massaging seats.

We just purchased our second new Toyota vehicle from Wilson Toyota in Ames. We purchased a Toyota Venza in 2013. That purchase experience went smoothly, and we have been very satisfied with the car. Wilson Toyota has handled all service for our Venza, and we have been highly satisfied with their customer service. Our positive experience brought us back to Wilson Toyota for our most recent purchase of a 2018 Highlander Hybrid. We spent a considerable amount of time with our sales rep, Jacob Harmelink, exploring vehicle features of both the RAV4 and the Highlander before settling on the Highlander Hybrid. Because Wilson Toyota didn't have a vehicle on the lot that had the specific features we preferred, Jacob arranged to get our vehicle from another dealer. In the end, we got the vehicle we wanted. Finalizing the purchase went very smoothly. Thus, we've had another positive purchase experience with Wilson Toyota.

This car looks 'classy', has lots of 'bells and whistles', lots of horsepower, very 'cushy' inside. Sadly, had to say good bye to our Jeep Sahara; she was not well. We'll miss her looks, but we'll enjoy the smooth ride, and cush of our Explorer.

From the very start Adel Chrysler was fantastic. Eagerly showing me the vehicles I was interested in, explaining features, and answering every question I could think if. Once we decided on the van we wanted the negotiation and purchase process was extremely quick and to the point. We had a couple concerns (used car software updates and missing floor mats) that were flawlessly addressed and quickly remedied to our liking by Ben and Justin. A+++ experience. Zero hesitation in recommending this dealership and sales team to others. Thank you!

This exployer is the nicest one that I have had by far. Very nice driving vehicle. Love the cooling and heated seats. Love heated steering wheel.

quick response to my inquiry, gave me the info I requested. Thank You

Extremely satisfied with our recent purchase. Our Ford Explorer has met and exceeded our expectations. Tons of space for family trips to sporting events. Nice smooth ride. Could see myself purchasing another in the near future.

Erika was so personable, wonderful, and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had in regards to my new car in email/texts the few days before I came down from Minnesota to pick my car up! Also, both Jeff and Austin were really great in going over everything I needed to know in regards to my new Ford Taurus before I left the dealership!

This vehicle has all the quiet and power I could ask for. Great styling and and convince options. Would definitely buy at West Herr again.

I came to the dealership in May of 2016 and talked with George Meza about finding a lease return A6. We looked for several weeks but could not find the right car. After several subsequent conversations, George suggested a new A6 that they had on the lot, that met my list of requirements. I had not intended to purchase a new vehicle, but after George and the dealership had worked their magic with the price, purchasing the new car was an opportunity that I could not pass up. --- Fast forward to October 2018. I was in town and called ahead, to George, to make sure he would be available to talk about the new 2019 A6. George's knowledge about the new A6 was amazing and I found out more about that car than I had ever anticipated. I am not ready to change cars yet, but when I am, I will be contacting George Meza. D.

Replaced a Alcadia Denali with this Explorer Limited. Huge improvement with the Explorer. Better looking, and way more reliable. Only thing I wish is if it got better mpg than my F150 does with a V8.

My service adviser, Austin, is great. Very friendly, detailed, honest, and knows his business and what to recommend that needs attention immediately ad what is minor and can wait, if needed. Shop prices are fair and competitive and quality is guaranteed. I did not purchase my vehicle at this dealership, but service has been excellent and prices fair and reasonable. The president of the company is accessible and seems to have an open door policy for customers. Although I did not purchase my vehicle from this dealership, my overall experience with this dealership has proven very favorable and I would, definitely, consider my next purchase, as well as, service from Stiver's Ford/Lincoln in Waukee, IA. I have nothing negative to say about any experience thus far in 4 years, but lots of positives to say about them. Recommendation is to buy from them, but if you don't buy, my recommendation is to, at least, have then service your vehicle, as you will be well satisfied with both price and quality of maintenance/repairs.

perfect car for my purposes, traveling, camping etc. I look forward to many fun trips and adventures, I need 25 words but for now I think this is about it.

I'm thrilled that there are still dealerships in existence to service Saturns, especially for the more technical repairs. Overall, service on the car and the customer service by Bob Brown in Ankeny were really good.

I recommend Explorer those looking for comfort and spacious car interior. Everything is well designed and looks luxurious all over. I purchased this two months ago and might be a little soon to review its performance but so far I am happy with what I got. I just don't recommend the dealership where I bought from : " Ford of Orange, CA" stay away from them.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Meets all of my needs. Excellent room and features. Also, feel like I’m driving in a very safe and sturdy car. Pickup is awesome V6 engine 3.5 liters EccoBoost. Love this car!

I purchased a low mileage used Suzuki from Sam's and had a great experience at the store, throughout the buying process. Unfortunately, less than a week and half later, the engine block blew out and I knew that we did not have a warranty on the vehicle. I called Sam's in a panic, as we definitely could not afford to be without a car but also couldn't afford to pay full price for another one. I spoke with Brooke's and he was very compassionate and understanding of our situation and worked with us to make things right, even though they hadn't done anything wrong and had no legal obligation to do so. I wish their were more dealerships like this out there! They treated us like, I assume, they would want to be treated in this situation: with compassion and understanding.

This car met my needs. It is spacious for my 3 kids and their friends, with plenty of room on the third row sit. The remote key and keyless start is very useful, specially summer time, when you can leave the car locked but running, so the AC is still cooling.

I went to George White Chevy in July 2017 to get some repairs on my 2003 Duramax and ended up buying a new 2017 Duramax. I was so impressed with Mark Bathie and George White Chevy from my first experience I came back in March 2018 and bought another Durmax From Mark . The whole experience is a good one there all around . If you need a fair place to go for repairs or to buy a vehicle go to George White Chevrolet and See Mark Bathie for your salesman , they are Top Shelf ! 5/5 Stars

This vehicle has everything we wanted. There is plenty of storage room and holds 7 people comfortably. There are usb plugs in front and back. Great ride, quite and smooth.

We bought a hail damaged car that is hard to see the damage and our daughter has been very happy with her new car.

This vehicle has everything that I need, tow package, four wheel drive and is very stylish and comfortable inside. The third row seating is surprisingly roomy and I love the stowable seats.

engine slips at 55-60 and when it takes off.I have had this car over a year and am so tired of the skipping.Ford motor said to just drive it til they get a code to fix it..I think when you pay this much for a car and it's new it should run like one...not a very happy customer.My family has always been a ford family..

Friendly, speedy service! Got right in with no wait at the Quick Lube Service. Complimentary car was always appreciated! Service employees take time to tell you what was done & answer any questions.

I wasn't looking for this one but it stood out and I had to test drive it. My Wife feel in love with it before we got out of the lot.

I liked that my car got in the bay right away at 8:30am on a Monday. The wait time was adequate for the oil change.

Only had it for 2 weeks now. Nice, but the Ford SYNC has a major issue, no bluetooth and costly to fix. Rides nice, nice interior.

Service department daw friendly and helpful. Jeremiah even showed me some settings on the console that I couldn’t figure out. He was super helpful.

The fifth generation Explorer is a fantastic offering in its class. The Explorer Platinum offers features that compete with luxury brands (first row heated/cooled/massage seats, lane keep, adaptive cruise), and in 52,000 miles I haven't had an issue so far. The 4WD system handles great in the snow, and the 3.5L twin turbo V6 offers plenty of power. The second row captain's chairs can be moved forward to offer third row occupants livable legroom, and there's still plenty of cargo space behind that. It handles well, tows well and is all around the best vehicle I've owned. I would recommend this SUV over any other in its class.

Handles great. Plenty of power. Roomy. Good interior design. Lots of extras. Economical. Laying down the back seats gives you plenty of room or stand them up to haul a couple more people.

I was impressed with the whole dealership. I let Nick J know that I was just interested in looking around. He offered to answer questions which I had a lot of. Thank you! Very comfortable experience.

This car has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a premium vehicle, but at a much more affordable price. The interior is sleek and accommodating, as well as comfortable. I love the double panel sunroof and the heated seats! So far it's doing decent on gas mileage for considering its size. It also doesn't feel like driving a tank, it maneuvers well and rides smoothly!

I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

Does it all for us! Incredible vehicle for the $$. We believe the Explorer is the best bang for the buck. We will love this car for another ten years min.

I have been looking for a new car for about two months now and decided to look into a new Ford. A few weeks ago I was attending a wresting camp in Iowa and decided to conpare prices to those in Kansas. Ames Ford and Lincoln was one of the dealerships I looked at while I was in Iowa. I was blown away by the customer service. The business was very well organized and I received great support from the staff. One employee named Kerrigan, made my experience exceptional! He left a great impression of himself and Ames Ford and Lincoln. Although I did not buy a vehicle, Mr. Kohnen made my experience at Ames Ford and Lincoln exceptional. I would highly recommend looking into buying a car from this dealership.

I'm a car guy and it's important how the vehicle looks......and I really like this vehicle. It'll take me awhile to get used to all the new electronics. Once I learn everything, I think this will be my favorite vehicle I've ever owned.
