Used 2018 Ford Explorer for Sale in Meriden, CT

Overall my experience was excellent. I knew what car I wanted to test drive and I called ahead to make sure it was still available. I was connected with Chin and he told me he wanted to go put his hand on the car to be certain it was there before I made the trip there. He called me back after about 30 minutes and said the car was not there at the moment but it would be available to test drive the following day. So we made an appointment and I test drove the car the following day. Chin did a wonderful job of presenting the vehicle and was very knowledgeable about the car. He was not pushy and seemed genuinely happy to be showing it to me and was very friendly. The test drive went well he and gave me ample opportunity to test out all the cars functions and all the bells and whistles on this particular model. I told him I wanted the car upon return to the lot and we began paperwork. My one and only issue is that the dealership has a "no hassle no haggle" price policy which I am not a huge fan of. I do realize; however, that this is a trend in car dealerships so it was unlikely to be a deal breaker especially since the vehicle was priced fairly based on the research I had already done. Chin was very good about communicating with me as the process for financing went on and was very good about telling me the obligations I would have to fulfill on my part with insurance and trade-ins. I test drove the car on a Tuesday @ 5:00pm and I was picking it up less than 48 hours later. They made a wonderful presentation of the vehicle and it was in excellent condition. All in all it was a very painless and pleasant experience and I would absolutely recommend Executive Kia and Chin Chang.

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.

Great SUV inside and out! It exceeded my expectations, and I like it a lot better than the Lexus GX460 I just got rid of.

Went in to have my oil changed and a slow tire leak repaired on my 2005 Crown Vic (with 102000 miles on it); was able to get in right away. The technicians reported that the tire was bad (worn to the markers) so it had to be replaced, as did another one. Two others were OK. The battery was weak too (it was over 6 years old). I replaced the battery and checked tire prices and found that Tasca's prices for Michelin tires were very competitive so I had them replace the tires. They took me home while they did the work - I appreciate that courtesy. They installed the new tires, rotated two existing good tires, and aligned the car. Now I'm all safe and set for a planned trip. Everyone was very courteous and cared for me. And the cost was very reasonable too.

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.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

Rented a Ford Explorer and liked it so much bought one the next day. Super smooth ride, plenty of power and gas mileage was way better then I thought for this size. 27 MPG on the highway.

Buying a car is stressful even if you have a lot of experience. Historically, it has been time consuming, emotionally taxing and most of us go into a dealership with far less knowledge than we ought for a purchase of the magnitude of a car. Salespeople have (understandable) pressures to move inventory and even the most fair-minded is looking to get the highest price they can get away with. It is harrowing at best. With my experience with Carvana, all of these stresses were eliminated. I browsed inventory as widely or narrowly as I wanted, for as long as I needed. I could dictate pricing ranges that were suitable for me. The car I received was *exactly* the car I examined online, right down to some inconsequential bumper scuffs. Beyond this, and *absolutely unlike* any other online business, I could speak to a *real human being* within a few minutes of calling (I had six or seven conversations with Carvana agents over the 3 1/2 weeks from car selection to car receipt). They either had the answers at hand, or researched them and replied promptly with a follow up call. Delivery coordination and drop off (and test drive) were *painless no pressure* experiences???all preparatory contract paperwork was prepared in advance leaving only title transfer stuff to take care of. It took 45 minutes, tops. (I transacted entirely in cash, so I cannot speak to the process when there is financing.) Honestly, the biggest delay was on *my* end getting the insurance transferred (having to wait on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes). The car was 100% was described???absolutely no surprises. The images on the web site for my car were not stock images. What I saw was what I got. Naturally, it was clean, filled up with a full tank, with new tires and the whole nine yards. Even got a ???free??? Carvana reusable coffee cup and key chain. Nice touch. The part that I found the most extraordinary was the 7-day money-back guarantee, which pretty much covers a change of mind unless you get into an accident or drive it a ton (over 400 miles, and even then, they???ll take it back after a modest per-mile-over-400 charge). All in all, I was dreading buying a car (and selling my used one) and Carvana made it pleasurable. I am absolutely recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers and I hope (as a relatively new company) they keep up the excellent work.

Excellent in all aspects. Rides great, has every feature I can think of. It is a beautiful SUV and I am so proud to drive it.

Your staff was highly knowledgeable and willing to listen to what I believed were my cars problems. I would also like to thank Jackie/Moose, and the mechanic who worked on my car, as they were also extremely courteous and very prompt. I also felt the pricing for parts/service was acceptable and that they were not trying to take advantage. One small improvement would be more comfortable seating in the service area as I waited 2 hours for my car to be serviced.

More car for your money, Test drove Mercedes, Acura, and Audi. The Explorer has a smooth ride and more conveniences than the rest we test drove

Stopped in around September of 2017 to look into a new truck. I met Jen who was very informative and helpful, but we determined this was not the right time to buy for me. Shopped around for a couple months, got some good offers, but I knew I wanted to work with Jen again. Went back to Tasca in the middle of May of 2018, and spoke with another sales person who just wanted to make a sale and took a very long time to meet my needs. This was my first time buying a new vehicle like this, and there was a clear difference in quality of service. A few weeks later I went back and asked to work with Jen, She walked me through the whole process of what I was looking for, not one ounce of sales pressure. Very laid back, very personable and understanding, and incredibly helpful. She even was able to nearly match a better offer I had from another dealer for the same truck, and I walked out with a nicer truck than offered before. She answered every question I had (and I had A LOT) with a straightforward, to-the-point answer. Absolutely wonderful experience working with Jen and I hope to do business with her in the future.

Very upscale with lots of tech. This is the Platinum addition with great fit and finish. Worth the price. First American car I have owned in 50 years.

Wonderful car to drive. My wife had a computer failure which did not let her drive the car. Failure was "Auto Park Assist Failure" disabled power steering. We had to have it towed to the dealer. Car has only 200 miles on it. WEIRD!!

This is a great family car and has everything we wanted. I have owned and driven plenty of cars and this has by far been the best one yet.

Steve Kozar was our sales person. No pressure . Got answers to all our questions quickly. We found a great car at a fair price . Steve is very personable and accommodating. When we picked up the car we were in and out in 30 minutes and the car was fully detailed and they had addressed any issues we raised during our test drive and inspection to our satisfaction. Overall a very pleasant car buying experience. I’d recommend you see Steve if you are looking for a quality ride.

bought this one to replace my old 2003 explorer 4 cyl turbo should be able to tow my bass boat ok drives smooth has good pickup

This is the second lease I have had with this dealership. This dealership has a unique option to their leasing in that property taxes are included with the monthly lease payment. You might be thinking that owing thousands on yearly property taxes on a vehicle will add hundreds to your monthly lease payments. Not so. What I learned with leasing is that the dealership gets a vast discount on property tax payments due to their sheer volume. Living in Waterbury and driving around in a newer vehicle would have had me paying a few thousand a year on property taxes. With leasing through this dealership I save hundreds on property taxes. I don't know of any place else that does this; If you're considering leasing and don't drive too many yearly miles, you will want to consider Family Ford leasing in Watertown (CT).

Needed an SUV for a family of 5. Third row is easy to access. More spacious than the other mid-size 3rd row vehicles. Nice features.

Had carmen lizza as sales manager very knowledgeable and would recommend this dealer to friends

This car does everything we need it to do and the AP for remote starting and vehicle health report is incredible.. the only fault we found in this entire car is the built in garage door opener needs major improvement we had to have it replaced the first week we owned the car and even after replacement it still is very intermittent and you must literally be in the drive way if it works at all. But outside of the garage door opener this car is incredible.

We weren't planning on buying anything yet and were just looking. Everyone was friendly and helpful without being pushy and/or just looking to make a sale. Bill K. worked with us, asked questions, really listened to what we had to say and respected our opinions - meaning he didn't try to change our mind about what we liked or wanted in a car. He also understood that I was still hesitant to give up my 15-yr-old 2002 Outback. It was in good shape but due to age would eventually start needing expensive repairs, which is why we were starting to look around. He was very knowledgeable and found us a car similar to what I had. On one question we had he got someone else more knowledgeable about it to speak with us. We did a test drive - sweet ride. We asked for time to talk and think some more. He left us alone. When we came back in to talk, he made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Finance also found us a warranty we couldn't refuse. Bill has checked in with us a few times to see if we had any questions and how we liked the car. We couldn't figure out how to set the clock - the manual wasn't helpful on that - and we brought it in. Bill was with another client but had Guy come out to the car and set it up for me. Guy was a sweetheart and patiently went through everything on the dash with me and set things up the way I wanted them. LOVE the car!! I've had it two weeks and already took it to Maine and back. Very sweet ride - like floating. Bill is a great guy and we highly recommend him and the dealership. It was a refreshing change from past dealership experiences where they only cared about selling a car no matter what or how, and getting as much money as they could out of us. Thank you Bertera Subaru of Hartford! :)

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.

roomy, sharp looking, comfortable and affordable, great value for my money spent. has all the traits of a more expensive suv but at an affordable price

On Saturday, Naz greeted us with a new shiny, clean 2017 White Nissan Pathfinder and we were very excited! My wife and I spent the past 3 months test driving cars, specifically SUV's - X2, Q5, Acura MDX, Discovery Sport, MKC, Lexus. During those months we received 3 letters from Nazario inviting us to stop by and chat about what Napoli Nissan has to offer. Our Rogue lease was up in January and we had never considered a Pathfinder. The obvious reason for Naz's long term success at Napoli is because he is a nice person, knowledgeable about the Nissan products and he is an excellent listener. He introduced us to the pathfinder which was not on our list and as it turned out, it was the perfect car for us. Naz not only matched our car requirements, but he beat the monthly lease price we were set to spend. Our daughter bought a Versa and we bought a Rogue 3 years ago. We will be back after this lease and will see our 'friend' Naz. Even if you don't think you are interested in a Nissan, you should make a trip to Napoli to see Naz and experience first class professionalism in the car sales business. A note on Finance: This is the first time we met with Ken to do the finance paperwork. Ken was incredibly personable and explained every option that was available to us. He also gave us pricelesss information regarding the credit rating companies and how they work and what to look out for in the future. Ken loves country music as much as we do - we had a some great conversation about the industry and artists. Buying a car from Napoli was a fun experience - we will be back. John & Kathy

Have had it a couple of months and on the highway at 75mph with strong wind the windshield molding flew off !! This made me look online at the part and it shows more than 34 complaints of this happening.why in the world has this not been fixed! My car sounds like a window is down on the highway and rattling the dash ! Super sad about this . 40,000 miles on it .

Excellent Service! Service is prompt and suggestions are provided for the next visit.

has a great look.handles well.plenty of room.a lot of electronic fetures.really like the sync feture.got good views from front seat.great explorer.would recomend to a freind

I had a 2014 Ford Focus with the clutch/transmission problem (3 replacements 2 under warranty 3rd paid for). I was pretty upset having to pay for a defective design that Ford cannot permanently fix. With negotiation I was able to trade in the car with 0% financing, dealership paying off the remaining 7, 800.00 as down payment on new 2018 KIA Forte and they even returned the 1,146.00 I had paid to get the third Fore Focus clutch fixed. Best yet my monthly payment remained the same and affordable. If you want to be treated fairly and with respect go to John Senek. My husband and I have bought all our cars at Columbia Ford for 25 years and John is our go to salesman. John really helped me through this negotiation and treated me with respect and fairness. He went to bat with the company leadership to see that I was treated fairly. I am now driving a new 2018 KIA Forte. John Senek is ethical, honest knowledgeable and fair. Buy your car from him! KB

love my new explorer, easy to use, drives great, upgraded radio is user friendly with the navigation, radio, cd, and satellite. so much room the seats fold in many ways depending on what type of room you need

I have my 2015 Kia serviced at Columbia Ford Kia and I gotta say, everything there is top of the line. I never mind taking time off of work to get stuff done for my car, because I can take advantage of the wonderful Thunderbird Cafe, free internet, free coffee and water, all the while knowing that the work that I???m having done is excellent. The service folks are professional and polite, everything is clean and everyone there seems to be enjoying their job. So what???s my gripe? It???s not really a gripe, more of a request. Every place in the entire compound has music playing. That???s fine (assuming you???re ok with Classic Rock), and the Cafe and Waiting Area layer on a couple of TV???s playing news stations on top of that. Ok, that???s more than I care for already. So, imagine my surprise when I go to the restroom and find that not only is there a TV playing (loudly) right above the sinks, but for some reason, some sort of stand up comedy schtick is being broadcast through the PA on top of the TV narrative. And I wish I could say this was a one-time occurrence, but it???s not, it???s the norm. I guess there are a lot of people who need to have some sort of electronic chatter on in the background, 24-7, but I???m not that person. I really, really love the quality of work I have done at Columbia Ford Kia, but I wish to god there was one place in the entire building that I didn???t have to be subjected to endless TV/Radio/???comedy??? chatter. Would be nice to have one quiet room. Otherwise GREAT!

This vehicle is excellent. It meets all of our needs. Very comfortable. We will definitely purchase this vehicle again. We recommend this vehicle to everyone who needs reliable transportation and comfort.

This is the third time I have come to Lombard Ford, and Emma Allen in particular, to purchase a Premium Extended Service Plan for a new Ford truck that I bought elsewhere (I don't live anywhere near Barkhamsted CT). I was fortunate to have found them on line. Emma offered the best deal and went out of her way to save me money on the ultimate warranty. Amazingly, she even remembered me from my last purchase three years ago, and -- even better -- credited back half of that price toward my new plan. With Jack's support, Emma once again went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied and that we made the best deal possible. My advice: don't buy your ESP when you make the new purchase (anywhere else) at the usual 300% markup ... save your money and buy it on line from Emma at Lombard Ford ... then you can thank me. And all I can say is: Thank You Emma and Jack!!! :-)

This car is reliable, comfortable, and best SUV all around. Very comfortable for long car rides and best value for what you're paying! Get the best of both luxurious and safe driving.

Working with Mark and staff at lombard was a great experience. I bought a new ford f-350 with a trade. Come to find out my trade had much more rust problems than i originally thought. With that said the team did everything in there power to get me as much for my trade as possible even with the rust issue. They took the time not to rush and really kept me in the loop on the whole process. So all i can say is thank you to everyone at lombard ford. Don't hesitate to give them a try i highly recommended them. Also they filled my new truck to the top with fuel. I have bought a few vehicles in my life and let me tell you they don't do that anymore ( even if you ask ). So a big 👍

I love this vehicle. Tons of power and every option you can get. I would recommend a Fors Explorer to anyone looking for a comfortable ride.
