I have been going to Rocky/Finbar Whitehall for many years and he is straightforward and honest with what needs to be done with my car. I am very comfortable and satisfied with the service here and have been for many years.
I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Great experience at CarMax Boynton Beach
Found a great deal on an Infiniti G37 but wanted my wife to check it out first. When we went the next day it was gone! While there, however, I learned about their terrific warranty plans so when when we saw the car I really wanted - a Jaguar XK - I didn't hesitate, knowing their warranty would ease any concerns I might have about this expensive-to-repair car. Again, when I went to this same location it had disappeared from their website! A helpful saleswoman told me one of their managers was driving it but it was mine if I wanted it - and I did!

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Just a pleasure
My son was looking for a car we have traveled to look at three different cars at different dealers all were very disappointing. I spotted this car on the internet called about it was told it could be put on hold . I was told the car was in very good shape .The car meet all of our expectations when we got there . There was no hard pressure sales . They got us in and out in a very timely fashion. One of the best car buying experiences I have had. Stephen and Rob were great Consultants not car salesman. The price of the car we bought was not a steal .But at a fair price for a car that should be able to be driven for many years without worry . Thank you to the staff at Ft. Lauderdale's Car max a great experience for my son's first purchase of a car.
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

the salesman Jorge Wejebe was great.
the salesman Jorge Wejebe was great. he worked hard to negotiate a deal and really took time to explain everything. He also helped after the deal to set up the car and the apps. highly recommend
love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

From the moment I stepped onto the lot at Florida Fine
From the moment I stepped onto the lot at Florida Fine Cars, I knew I was in the right place. In an era where genuine customer service feels rare, this team reminded me what true professionalism and hospitality look like. Every interaction—whether with the front staff, the sales team, or management—was warm, patient, and sincerely focused on making my experience exceptional. But I have to give a special thank you to Ralph, who is truly one of a kind. His knowledge, honesty, and ability to connect with customers is unmatched. Ralph doesn’t just sell cars—he builds trust. He made the entire process smooth, transparent, and enjoyable, and he treated me and my family with a level of respect and friendliness that left a lasting impression. People like him are the reason this dealership stands out in Florida. The prices were unbeatable, the inventory was impressive, and the service was nothing short of extraordinary. Florida Fine Cars has earned my loyalty—my family and I will be buying our vehicles from them from now on. If you’re looking for a dealership that actually cares about you, listens to you, and goes above and beyond to earn your business, look no further. Florida Fine Cars knows what true customer service is. Thank you again to Ralph and his entire team for delivering a world-class experience. Highly recommended!

The other reviews here are penny ante, very minor stuff.
The other reviews here are penny ante, very minor stuff. I asked Lisandro for an out the door price and I got it fast, with options to help me with financing and shipping. Most other dealers are very slow and never give that price. Performance Mitsubishi's price was $12000 more than advertised. Give both a chance and you will do business with Lisandro. Spend a couple minutes and see. Besides being GREAT to deal with, test drive the Outlander. It drives better than the Rogue and is crazy cheaper than Toyota. It is nicer inside too. Don't buy a turbo gas car. They don't last as long. Buy an Outlander from Lisandro and you will get the deal and be happy with your car.

Eight days ago, I visited this dealership, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. We were greeted by Hubert, who was exceptional, confident, and professional from the very start. Thanks to him, we felt secure and ready to take the step of purchasing the car we had been searching for. We then continued the process with Francisco, a true professional who made us feel completely at home. We also want to thank Jeffrey and Lidia, who made everything so much easier and smoother. I highly recommend this place and their amazing team if you’re looking for your ideal car. I absolutely love mine, and I’m beyond satisfied with both the vehicle and the incredible experience I had that day. Thank you all so much!

Very fast and reliable company. Also very responsive, and updates me with the release and delivery of the vehicle. If you purchase from Elite Auto Auctions, expect the whole process will take 2 weeks. Very, very good!

Elite Auto Auctions made buying an insurance vehicle
Elite Auto Auctions made buying an insurance vehicle straightforward and stress-free. Everything was clearly disclosed, from vehicle condition to title status, and the car arrived exactly as represented. Their team knows this market inside and out, which gave me confidence throughout the process. I would absolutely purchase from Elite again.
