Exceptional experience when we got our 2024 Nautilus from
Exceptional experience when we got our 2024 Nautilus from WP Lincoln Nautilus recently. I think it’s the first time in 40 years of car purchases from dealers that we actually enjoyed the experience. The manager Mike Poznanski and our Salesman, Hector Perez, were excellent at every step, knowledgeable, good listeners and not pushy at all. Highly recommend this place!
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.

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.

Very good service and customer service.
Very good service and customer service. I was able to purchase my vehicle. The salesperson and manager provided excellent service, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
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!!!

Mo and James are straight shooting honest businessmen that truly care about helping their customers. They went above and beyond to get me an unbelievable deal on a great vehicle! i'm a future client for sure!
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.

I recently purchased a 2016 Cadillac CTS Sedan from
I recently purchased a 2016 Cadillac CTS Sedan from Victory Cars Central in Levittown, and I have to say — this team deserves all the recognition possible. From the moment I walked in, Steve, Jordan, Santiago and the rest of the staff treated me like family. They went above and beyond to make what seemed impossible, possible. My credit situation wasn’t perfect, yet they did everything in their power — every creative, professional, and honest move — to make sure I could drive away in the car I wanted, with zero down payment. The vehicle itself runs incredibly well, and while it has a few minor cosmetic blemishes (as expected for a used car), the performance and reliability are outstanding. What mattered most was how this team handled the entire process — with transparency, effort, and genuine care. Steve and Jordan were absolute superheroes. They didn’t just sell a car; they restored my confidence in how good people and great service can change your day. It’s rare to find a dealership that truly puts the customer first, and Victory Cars Central absolutely did that. If you’re looking for a trustworthy dealership that will work with you, not against you, this is the place. Highly recommended — five stars all the way! — Jefferson C.
