Steve Link Ford-Lincoln Inc. review

Great deal!!!

November 20, 2017
By Mopar man from Pleasant Hill ia

I was slightly let down because they offered me more for my car and offered to sell their car for less than I was going to ask. How was I supposed to negotiate?? After leaving the lot, I noticed a problem with the (used) vehicle and manager offered to assist me with no hesitation. I would call this 45 minute drive well worth it!

2017 Ford Explorer Platinum review

Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.

October 20, 2024
By Jamie Shipman from Dallas, TX
Owns this car

Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.
