Fantastic dealership and service!

I visited Carsplus on Good Friday this year, 2017. The staff let me drive several different cars that I was interested in and let me make my decision with no pressure whatsoever. As I was paying cash for the car, I received a better purchase price than the listed one and Mitchell and Barry could not be more helpful. The car was used and sold without a warranty as many are. However, later that week, I heard a sound around the dash. David took care of the problem for me, gave me a loner while the car was being repaired, and even took my car to the repair shop and picked back up the loaner while I was working. In this day and age, the consumer does not always feel good about purchases. I cannot say that about my experience with Carsplus. They get a superior rating from me. I would strongly recommend anyone to browse their vehicles and purchase there.

Own a 2014 ford focus. Came in with studdering in the transmission. Ended up being a recall, but had steps to follow. Nick did an amazing job explaining everything to me. He got the vehicle in quickly and the reset and TCM was fixed quickly. He called and kept me updated every step of the way. Ended up needing a new clutch. Got the part faster then originally anticipated. Nick contacted me and got me in immedietly. Company provided me with a rental. Continued to call and update me whenever necessary. Overall amazing experience! Thank you!

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.

Superior Service

The service department is superior. Manager, Jonathan Lankford, runs an excellent service center. He treats you like family and his staff follows his example. Everyone in the service department treats you will respect and they are friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and get you in and out as quickly as possible with your vehicle in good shape. They are the best service center I have ever done business with! They have a very nice waiting room with a tv, and you are given many choices of their great free snacks, drinks, and water. They cover your floorboard and seats before it is taken to the mechanic. When the work is done, they deliver you a clean, washed vehicle! They do not try to make a living off one person but make every effort to lower your bill with discounts and specials. While everyone does a wonderful job, I would like to mention Monica Webster's kindness and efficiency....she has a great personality, knows her job, and is a pleasure to work with. Mr. Lankford's high standards and sincere, friendly personality leave no doubt that your vehicle is in excellent hands at a reasonable price, along with a fun place to be while you wait. This young man is a breath of fresh air in the way he makes every customer feel important, along with knowing that their vehicle is in the very best hands, whatever the need. Personally, I am treated like a princess upon my arrival and until I leave. If I need to go to the restroom upstairs Jonathan escorts me. He gets a golf chair from my trunk and sets it up for me if I want to sit outside in the sun to read, checking on me periodically, and returning my chair to the trunk when they finish with my car. I will not let anyone else touch my Lincoln Town Car!

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..

Great features, comfortable and reliable

by DavidMSN from Madison, WI

March 11, 2019

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.

Cloniger Ford is amazing. Our 2013 Fusion had a problem. We were 4 hours from home. Cloniger Ford made us a priority. Matt in the service section made the experience enjoyable. He called a rental car agency, gave us directions, and came in on his day off to make sure the car was taken care of.

Great midsize SUV

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.

Exemplary Service

by Ken McFadden from Beverly Hills, MI

We were traveling and had a catastrophic electrical and overall power failure on I-77 in the construction zone north of Charlotte. We planned to stay overnight in Statesville and took the vehicle to the dealership in the morning. The service advisor accurately and correctly diagnosed the issue and determined the part was not in stock. Immediately they located a part at another dealership, sent a driver, and had us back on the road sooner than originally estimated. They even delivered the vehicle to us at our hotel. The service didn't meet the standard, it set a new level. There are dealerships in Detroit that could take lessons on the right way to deal with customers from Randy Marion Ford.

Feels like an expensive car for a great price!

by TMichel from Indianapolis, IN

February 26, 2019

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!

This place was awesome to work with! Submitted an inquiry on Sunday, got a call and text on Monday morning, and was at the dealership buying the truck by the evening. Andy was a great associate to work with! He made sure to call and text me and let me know that the truck I was interstates in was getting sent to auction the next day. He got me the truck I wanted, for the deal I wanted, at 30 minutes before close! He and the financial advisor both stayed 2 hours past closing time to get me in the truck before I left. I would definitely recommend!

Love the STINGRAY!!!!!

by GeraldF from Geismar,LA

Let me say this used car dealer is the real deal. Eric H helped me from start to finish and took videos of the corvette stingray so my drive from Louisiana wouldn't be for nothing. They gave me a good price for my trade and stayed true to that price once I got to dealership. Not telling me the car wasn't worth the money they offered me unlike some places do once they get you there. Thanks for staying true to your word. The corvette stingray was in excellent shape like Eric H said it was and it was a dream to drive back home to Louisiana..... got many compliments on the car on the drive home. Stopped at the corvette plant and museum and enjoyed showing the corvette stingray off! These guys also turned us on to some really good food not far from the dealership.... thanks to all that helped with getting us back on the road and thanks for the two t-shirts you gave us. We loved them too. Thanks

Cloninger Ford dealership has hands down, the best Mechanics I have seen. They are honest, friendly, and loyal to their customers'. I have been a customer for about a year now and will be a returning customer as long as I'm in N.C. I have never been anywhere to get my truck worked on that doesn't try to tell you a lie to get more work done or more money out of your pocket. Cloninger is the way to go, thank you Monica for all your help this past week and a big thank you to the Mechanics that have done amazing work every time i've come in. You guys are outstanding, 5 stars all around

Waste of money for pricy limited model

by Charlie from Franklin, Wi

November 20, 2018

Car was delivered with outdated data loaded into navigation system, and for customer service advised to use cell phone instead. Smell of catalytic converter in passenger compartment due to design flaw and spent numerous times at dealer for fix, but it still stinks during rapid acceleration. Factory installed tires (Hankook) are junk after 25,000 miles.

Very smooth riding vehicle

by Jack from Green bay WIsconson

November 20, 2018

3.5 liter v6 has adequate power to move the vehicle, vs 3.5 liter v6 twn turbo, and turbo gets worse gas milage, but limited comes standar with a 2.3 liter I 4cylnder 280 hp engine but what rpm do you have to rev engine to to get the 280 hp, also I think this small of engine will not move the vehicle with effiencently thus getting poor gas mileage in comparison to the 3.5 liter engine. the xlt can be loaded with options, stereo none sony 6 spearker system with 8" nave screen sounds good , limited will come with electical button to fold 3rd row seats, and can get electical lifting power lift gate, but you can get this option with xlt, gas mileage is good for this size of vehicle, mpg is 20 mpg city highway if you drive very conservitatively you can get 22mpg for city highway driving engine is quiet, 6 speed transmition shifts smoothly. Long in comparison to Jeep grand cherokee. But the cost of maitenance should be much lower.

We found additional vehicles that are close to your year range.
