Used 2023 Ford Explorer for sale near Venice, FL

I don’t normally write reviews but this is one time I feel it’s important. I met with Michael Malmsbury searching for a car for my daughter, and he immediately made me feel comfortable when he demonstrated his wealth of knowledge on the models I was interested in. Once we got down to the nitty gritty of putting the deal together he was on my side and worked tirelessly to help me!! I can’t thank him enough for his patience and personal support in making what is usually a difficult purchase a satisfying experience! If you like honesty, and quality customer care joined by a wealth of knowledge then when you are looking to purchase a Honda, ask for Michael, you won’t regret it!!

Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

Very Good. A nice sales person. Everyone was great The person that did the paperwork was also very knowledgeable. I would recommend these people to anyone looking for a car.

Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

Matt French and Thomas Hocker are the best service persons. I recommended them to everyone anytime anyone has a service question

Thank you so much for the wonderful service. Absolutely love my car. In and out with no hassle. Very good honest people to work with. Great value on my trade in too.

Dealership staff were extremely persuasive to encourage the prospective buyer to stop by for test drive.

Although not convenient, our locations are becoming less so due to the scarcity of the vehicle I want. All interactions with them have been interesting since the day we initiated our contact happened 4 or 5 times with a different person each time. All the eager beavers seemed professional.

From the moment you walk into the dealership, you're greeted by genuinely friendly staff who make you feel welcome right away. They respect their appointment times, so you’re never left waiting. While working through the paperwork and coordinating with both the sales and finance teams, you can enjoy their impressive on-site restaurant. The food selection is top-notch, and their in-house chef is both talented and personable—truly a standout feature of the dealership. After your meal, you can relax in their private movie theater, complete with comfortable seating, or unwind in their serene massage chair room with its soothing ambiance. I purchased a Ford Lightning and was pleased to negotiate a price below the advertised amount. My sales consultant, Michael Bolton, was exceptional—attentive, professional, and available even after hours to answer my questions. He followed up after the purchase to ensure everything was going smoothly, which I really appreciated. The vehicle has been excellent so far, and it’s clear that both Michael and Sarasota Ford place a strong emphasis on delivering outstanding customer service.

My car buying experience at Sarasota Ford with Matthew Smith as the sales person was exceptional! Matthew was extremely knowledgeable about the Explorer lines. He did not use any high pressure tactics and took time to answer all of questions. He was available after the sale to answer additional questions. If you are looking at Sarasota Ford, I would highly recommend visiting with Matthew Smith--he is a good guy!!
