Very responsive and easy to work with even though I’m out
Very responsive and easy to work with even though I’m out of state. I’ve had a great experience with them!
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Matt was a joy to work with!
Matt was a joy to work with! We highly recommend him to anyone in the market. He was a calming presence during what’s usually a stressful time and made the entire process easy. Thank you, Matt! My husband and I would absolutely tell anyone to visit Magic Auto Sales for their car-buying needs.
3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

My service rep is amazing.
My service rep is amazing. Prompt response and service each time. I would definitely recommend him. His name is Denny Kaufman. Best customer service I have ever received at this location.
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

Allen got me set up and answered all of my questions. I had an additional question on towing package and he got me a quote. The vehicle was 100% up to my expectations.
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Recently purchased a used Ford F150 Lightning.
Recently purchased a used Ford F150 Lightning. Steve Pundmann was my sales agent and was awesome to work with. Never felt pressured and any and all questions and concerns were answered promptly. Financing department was just as friendly with explanation of options but not pressure to upsell on warranties. Would highly recommend to anyone shopping for a vehicle

AutoNation Subaru Arapahoe provided an outstanding car buying experience. The salesman Andrew that helped me was extremely patient and educated me along the way so that I could make the best decision for me. I walked away with the perfect car and I absolutely love it. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend this dealership to anyone who’s looking for a new car. Great business full of great people.
