My experience was positive.
My experience was positive. The salesman Brandon was a pleasant person. No pressure to buy a new truck.i hadn't brought a vehicle from a dealership in over thirty years. Brandon restored my faith in buying vehicles in the future. I enjoy my Ford Ranger.

Good overall experience.
Good overall experience. As always, the dealership tried to slip in extra fees. This does not make this dealership any worse than others, but I won't give 5 stars when this happens. In our case, the sticker price was not what we saw when we sat down to negotiate. There was a $1,300 charge added for a security feature the dealership had installed. I had that removed: sticker price on a used car should be everything that the car is. I did not choose a $1300 option. The dealership worked with us and was friendly, except for the finance guy. It was late at night and he got a little snippy.

I purchased a used truck at AutoNation Ford Tustin this
I purchased a used truck at AutoNation Ford Tustin this past week and the purchase went very smoothly. Our salesman Jonathan was great answering all our questions with no pressure. I would definitely work with Jonathan again if I were to purchase a car from them again. There wasn't even any real pressure when we finalized the purchase with the finance manager unlike the high pressure we have had to endure from past car purchases. Last thing, the price was very competitive. I highly recommend them.

I had an outstanding experience with the sales team at
I had an outstanding experience with the sales team at Tustin Ford. From start to finish, they were incredibly patient with me and my busy schedule, never making me feel rushed or pressured. They took the time to truly understand what I needed in a vehicle and made sure every option they presented aligned with my priorities. What stood out most was how far above and beyond they went throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care made this one of the smoothest and most enjoyable car?buying experiences I?ve ever had. I left with a vehicle I absolutely love, and I owe that entirely to their dedication and expertise. I am now ? and will continue to be ? a proud supporter of Tustin Ford?s staff. They?ve earned my trust, my loyalty, and my highest recommendation.

Chris was sales guy and very pleasant and
Chris was sales guy and very pleasant and straightforward. Didn't like dealership policies of forced add ons that made the price not affordable anymore. They advertise a low price and then add another $2-3K. feels wrong to me. wouldn't buy from them.
