Used 2017 Ford Explorer for Sale in Norfolk, VA

We were looking for a car for our teenage daughter. I emailed 1Stop Auto through the carfax.com website. The owner Scott called me and spoke with me. After talking a bit I told him I was also looking at a car in NC which he also looked up and said that's a great deal, even better than mine, you should look at it. I don't know many car dealers, especially owners, that would say that! We decided to go see the one he had on the lot and decided to buy from him and save the 7 hour round trip. Not only was it easy to agree on a price but he also took his time and walked my daughter through the paperwork, explaining it in detail as I signed. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Scott!!

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.

A few weeks ago we took a day trip, from the Raleigh NC area to buy a 2015 certified pre-owned Civic from Checkered Flag Honda, 197 miles away. Why? The day before, we drove a 2014 Civic at a local Carmax. We loved the car but we weren't sure about the deal we would be getting. We came home and did a 200 mile search on the internet to see what else was available. We found a 2015 at Checkered Flag that had 12,000 fewer miles, was $900 less, AND it was a certified pre-owned! We read all the great reviews and Larry Brown's name kept getting mentioned, over and over. The next day, I called as soon as the dealership opened to check to see if the car was still available before making the trip, and Larry Brown answered the phone. He said he was scheduled to be off, but come in to work a few hours. It felt like it was meant to be! I have good credit, but life circumstances have resulted in a high debt-to-income ratio, so I mentioned that I wasn't sure I would be able to get a loan. Larry took basic information from me and called back very quickly saying we could work it out. We jumped in our car and headed to Va. From start to finish we had a good experience in regards to everything that was under the Checkered Flag's staff's control. Carl Dyson greeted us as soon as we entered the showroom. We told him we were there to see Larry and he assisted by letting Larry know we were there and telling us where we could wait. Larry was genuine and accommodating through the entire process, start to finish, as was Chad Frick who spent time with us as well. We were there on an unusually busy Sunday, and a couple of customers were ahead of us waiting to work with Financial Manager Samuel Custodio even by 6:00, when the dealership closed. Larry and Chad stayed with us and maintained the best attitudes, in spite of the circumstances. We finally met with Samuel, who also still was smiling, personable and took the time to fully explain our various options in spite of it being three hours past closing by the time he was working with us. I also felt Samuel was honest about the various service/maintenance options available to us and which ones would be most suited to us/our needs. In summary, the "Fast" part was not so applicable for us but, again, this was outside of the staff's control. The "Simple" and "Smart" definitely applied! I am a single woman who was buying this car with my teen aged daughter. I never felt like I was being misled or taken advantage of during any part of the process, start to finish. I would definitely recommend this dealership based on their better value and customer service. I would not hesitate to make another 3 hour road trip to buy another Honda from Checkered Flag!

I love my 2011 Ford Explorer Limited and the 2017 Ford Explorer Limited I'm currently purchasing. I just wish it got better gas mileage and that it had Qi Wireless Charging capabilities as many other vehicles do.

We purchased a 2016 Civic from Checkered Flag Honda back in April of last year. Although my wife's 2003 Pilot had treated her well for almost fourteen years, it was time for a new Honda. I showed her the new 2017 CR-V on the Honda website, and as she remembered the great buying experience we had less than a year ago, she asked me one question- what time does Checkered Flag Honda close? This was a Saturday just after 5:00 p.m. We checked out the inventory on their website, contacted the dealership, and was quite fortunate to have Brendan Powell as our product specialist. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. We managed to get a good trade-in appraisal, take a test drive, do the paperwork, and thanks to Brendan, drive away with a new 2017 CR-V that evening around 8:15. Considering the fact the dealership actually closed at 7:00, the color my wife picked (Gunmetal Metallic) happened to be the one in the showroom, and we still had to come back with the check on Monday, my wife and I are grateful for Brendan's help and satisfied with the great buying experience at Checkered Flag Honda.

The Ford Explorer Platinum has a very beautiful exterior that has the look of a true SUV not a roller skate like some of the SUVS out there.

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 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.

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.

I was referred to Texas Direct Auto/Vroom by a good friend and I???m glad I decided to go with them for my car purchase! I initially got Billie as my car sales personnel, but she seemed to be very pushy and just aiming to make quick sale; which is something that made me very uncomfortable. After speaking with her for a while I advised I would give her a call back to speak with my financial advisor on proceeding further on this process with Vroom. When I called back I got a different agent that saw in the system that saw I was talking to Billie and advised me that she would give me a call back in 5 mins, well 30 mins passed and I called back upset because I did not hear back from her after she ran my credit and didn???t like the fact I wasn???t trying to put 2500 down. My credit score was excellent I had a 740, but I didn???t have enough credit history she said is the reason why she kept asking me to put so much money down on 23k 24k car. The last time I called upset after not hearing anything from her a gentleman by the name of Shannon Humbles answered and I advised him that I did not want to work with Billie anymore because she made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like she didn???t personally care about helping me through the process of the purchase. Shannon is an ALLSTAR!! He went over and beyond the call of duty to help me make this purchase!!! 7 days later my vehicle sits in my parking garage and I love it! The process was so easy to purchase, I had to put 1500 which is the standard, instead of 2800 that???s Billie was demanding that I put down! Please go with Vroom! I saw a couple bad reviews and I know every process has its flaws, but I???m here to tell you, they work! They are a very good company and I look forward to making another purchase with them for my girlfriend???s Christmas gift! Thanks Shannon and Vroom!!!!

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.

I will say that I was a bit apprehensive after reading some negative reviews; but due to the volume that this dealer ships out, I can only assume that poor experiences are a small percentage of their business practice. I visited Vroom???s website in the evening and decided to purchase my wife a Cadillac SRX. Within minutes I received a call from a sales rep. Within an hour of that initial call, he collected my $500 ???hold fee??? that was later applied to my down payment. The following day, my sales rep called to inform me that financing was secured, even with blemished credit. (Required an additional $600 down payment which I had wire transferred). 3 days later, I received my contract via FedEx, completed it, and shipped it back. Once they received and reviewed, I was sent an email with an expected delivery date. From start to finish, the entire process took 10 days, and we received a used Cadillac SRX in EXCELLENT condition. The interior was spotless. The exterior needed a wash, but it was understandable because the car was shipped from Texas to Florida. I have already recommended this service to others, and will likely use them again. *Car does come with a 60 day temp tag, and I have not heard back from Vroom about acquiring my actual registration and plate. - However, I believe that I still have a couple of weeks left on the current tag.

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 was looking for a SUV, and my salesperson Caleb Lyons was a great help. The process was very simple very happy about my new vehicle (2014 Ford Escape S). Thank you so much.

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 must say out of many car buying experiences this was definitely the best! D.A. Young and the Sales Manager Mark B. are such a dynamic team! Great atmosphere, great company, smooth transactions, and great price. Thank you!!!

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.

The sale people were very knowledgeable , and was a pleasure to do business with. She had the service department clean the car prior to delivery and they did not half clean anything. The windows, interior seats, and carpet was not cleaned as good as previous car dealers had done. Overall Sale personnel are fine, Service personnel are not as good.

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..

Absolutely love our new explorer! So glad we chose the explorer it’s very comfortable for long trips we will see slot of the us in this vex hikers

The Platinum checks all the boxes from comfort, performance and four wheel drive capability. The safety features are simple to use and make driving a pleasure. I love the adaptive cruise control.

This black 2017 Ford Explorer is an amazing vehicle! Drives with ease, comfort and power when needed. Enough space to pack a family of 7!! Beige interior with separate front and rear AC controls.

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.

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.

I bought it so that I could accomplish almost any job I needed to do. It gets great mileage for a larger vehicle and a great ride.

Tuesday 10/4/16 driving down the road and heard a noise, thinking it was a vehicle around me, then the car was no longer around me and my car was still "singing". Thank goodness I was on Jefferson Ave in front of Casey Chevrolet! This is where I also purchased my vehicle! I pulled straight into the service bay and Jeff was there (my regular man Richard was having lunch) as I got out of the car Jeff said "don't look so stressed". I said that it didn't sound good and he said no it doesn't but we will take care of it for you! Signed my car in picked up a loaner and I was back on the road in 15 minutes!!! Yes 15 minutes!! I received a call the next day with the results (thank goodness for warranty). I picked my vehicle up no cost (warranty, warranty). Dropped off the loaner and out the door I went. Thank goodness for caring folks to look out for their customers. I will recommend them if asked for a reliable service team for a vehicle. THANK YOU JEFF and service techs for taking care of my baby.

Very comfortable, good performance, nice amenities. Having had the previous version of Sync, the Sync 3 on this model is MILES ahead in user-friendliness and options. The vehicle is very quiet on the highway and excellent on road trips. Very happy with the purchase!

Maada and Mr. Mike were both very accommodating to everything that we were trying to do during our buying experience, very patient, and worked with us as far as pricing was concerned. Made the buying experience a breeze. I would definitely recommend talking to either one of them 100% thanks guys !! 🤗

This is my second Explorer lease and I couldn’t be happier with it. Rides and handles great, plenty of room, good mileage for its size, and great for long distance trips!

I hate wasting my time so it was refreshing to find a salesman in,Sim Diggs Jr, that didn’t do that. Honest with Intergrity and a great sense of humor. What more could one want in a salesperson

Ford Explorers have always been a dependable ride. Great ride, comfortable and all the options. Like the options of the AWD or 4 wheel drive at your fingertips.

Chris (Service Rep) was very professional; knowledgeable; and very courteous with me. He did a superlative job representing your dealership. I had left another Toyota dealership after 10+ years with them because our experiences at Pearson's is simply exceptional. We bought our 2015 Camry at your business and plan to do all of our future service and car buying with you. We have been Toyota owners for > 10 years.

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.
