Hello Folks, I Just want to pass this along.
Hello Folks, I Just want to pass this along. If you’re looking for a Great Sales Person Ben Reinert is your guy. He is a very Calm & Caring. He wants to make you Happy with with the Deal. I sold my Truck on Marketplace and he even was Patient as I was able to make more doing it this way. He even has people coming from NJ down to Seaford. He made everything seem Seamless. I Highly Recommend Ben. He is the Last Salesman you will ever have to Speak with. Good Luck 🍀 Everyone !
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.

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.

It?
It?s always a pleasure working with Steve when my Cherokee needs service. He and the tech working on my vehicle always follow up and notify me of any other issues they may have found. Great service every time!
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.

Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. Kevin my service advisor did a great job, kept me informed etc.
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

Came in for routine service and was helped by Brad.
Came in for routine service and was helped by Brad. Even though it was routine Brad asked about the car (crv hybrid) performance if I had any concerns. I asked about poor mileage of the car and he said he would have the mechanics look at it at no extra cost. For me that illustrated this dealerships concern for their customer. Two hours later my car was ready to go and I left with satisfaction of having a job well done!

Excellent experience at Dallas Lease Returns. Chris Mikell was great to work with. The entire process was quick and with none of the stress or pressure that often accompanies car buying. I would definitely buy from this dealer again!

My wife and I were having problems with our vehicle and
My wife and I were having problems with our vehicle and needed to replace it urgently with a more reliable vehicle. We remembered that we bought a car from Price LeBlance Nissan 10 years ago and we dealt with Tony Ramos. After finding the vehicle we liked, a 2024 Hyundai Tucson we again contacted Tony Ramos who made it very easy for us to trade our truck on our Hyundai.. Colby and Ricky made the financing part easy also. We would recommend Price Le Blanc Nissan and in particular Tony Ramos to anyone who wants to buy their next vehicle.

Sands has a great customer experience from the Classic
Sands has a great customer experience from the Classic Cars on display to the low pressure sales while we looked for the perfect vehicle. Our salesperson Brian Yahia was great getting answers to our questions and providing assistance to locate the color and features we wanted. We shopped on a Sunday and were surprised to find out that they would have been willing to stick around to let us drive our new Traverse out that evening. We have purchases a lot of cars in the past 45 years and Sands a good dealership to do business with.

Just wanted to say I was very impressed with the sales person who I had dealt with when purchasing a new van. He was never aggressive at any point of time but yet very helpful in answering all my questions about certain vehicles. Awesome!

This dealership doesn’t negotiate price. I randomly walked in one day and Michel helped me out, he sent me different car options over a few days and ultimately helped me purchase a great car. It was a quick and easy process which I appreciated and also a no pressure environment which was nice.
