Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Bradenton, FL

The entire experience from beginning to end was fantastic! I found the car I wanted on the web, and it was in stock at the dealership. I made an inquiry and was contacted within 15 minutes. I already had a great price at a dealer much farther away, and asked if they could meet it - no problem, they actually beat the deal by $500!! They then offered a very fair price on trade without seeing my vehicle (contingent on their folks looking at it). I couldn't get to the dealership until the weekend, and they held the vehicle I wanted for a fully refundable $500 deposit. I arrived Saturday morning, half expecting to hear the price on the vehicle was incorrect, or that my trade wasn't worth the initial estimated price. Neither happened - price was good, and trade in was as we discussed. There was no pressure to purchase anything additional - they did show me the extended warranty plans, but moved on quickly when I said no. They were also able to meet my credit unions rate of 1.99%. I was out the door shortly thereafter, new car keys in hand! The entire process was great. From first contact to my follow up call from the manager asking if everything was OK, the entire experience was superb. I highly recommend this dealership and will look here first when making my next purchase.

Meets all of my needs. Excellent room and features. Also, feel like I’m driving in a very safe and sturdy car. Pickup is awesome V6 engine 3.5 liters EccoBoost. Love this car!

I'm a car guy and it's important how the vehicle looks......and I really like this vehicle. It'll take me awhile to get used to all the new electronics. Once I learn everything, I think this will be my favorite vehicle I've ever owned.

Have had it a couple of months and on the highway at 75mph with strong wind the windshield molding flew off !! This made me look online at the part and it shows more than 34 complaints of this happening.why in the world has this not been fixed! My car sounds like a window is down on the highway and rattling the dash ! Super sad about this . 40,000 miles on it .

The fifth generation Explorer is a fantastic offering in its class. The Explorer Platinum offers features that compete with luxury brands (first row heated/cooled/massage seats, lane keep, adaptive cruise), and in 52,000 miles I haven't had an issue so far. The 4WD system handles great in the snow, and the 3.5L twin turbo V6 offers plenty of power. The second row captain's chairs can be moved forward to offer third row occupants livable legroom, and there's still plenty of cargo space behind that. It handles well, tows well and is all around the best vehicle I've owned. I would recommend this SUV over any other in its class.

In short, my recent car purchase from AutoNation was the most positive auto purchase that I have experienced. My sales person, Brandon, knows his product thoroughly, and navigated the entire process flawlessly. The finance person, Rick, was equally efficient and knowledgeable. The entire staff was friendly and willing to lend a hand. The auto was delivered as promised, and I look forward to several years of pleasant driving in it.

Great vehicle, very comfortable to ride in, great visibility, makes driving a pleasure again. Safety features are great without the clutter and distractions on other new vehicles. Features are very intuitive to use. One feature that it came with is the front camera, I didn't think it was necessary, but after trying it out, it really is handy to see what you can't see over the hood of the vehicle.

We moved to this area from Hillsborough Co. and this was the first time we went to AutoNation Ford for service on our F250/diesel. Having encountered service personnel at other dealerships wherein attempts were made to sell unnecessary "repairs" and/or services, it was refreshing to encounter an honest service adviser who was straight forward as to what I was requesting (oil change, tire rotation/balancing) and inquired as to the services we had had on the truck at our previous dealer. We also discussed the type of driving/towing conditions the truck was exposed to and concurred that all was in order. Based upon this experience, I will no longer travel to our previous dealer and will also bring our other vehicle here for service (a Toyota).

Got a recall notice for my 2017 Fusion. Made an appointment. Arrived at the designated time and waited no more than a few minutes to greeted. Service advisor was great to deal with. This and another found recall were fixed in about an hour or so and I was out the door. It's a small dealership compared to what I'm used to and had read a number of unfavorable reviews online so was a bit weary of using them but it's the closest to my office. My experience was top notch.

Has everything you could ever want in a car. We have a 2016 Ford Explorer limited. Seems to have every option ever invented ! Even has massaging seats.

I experienced power steering failure while driving my 1999 Ford F350 truck with approximately 350,000 miles, I called Sarasota Ford and spoke with mr Jane Deal in the service dept and explained my dilemma, had the truck towed to the dealer and the next day the truck was ready. When I picked it up the charge was for only a new power steering hose and they cleaned the steering fluid that blew all over from the engine and exhaust lines. I know this is service way above and beyond the call of duty. Sarasota Ford demonstrated their honesty, they could have charged anything and I couldn't say no, thank you Mr. James Deal and Sarasota Ford

perfect car for my purposes, traveling, camping etc. I look forward to many fun trips and adventures, I need 25 words but for now I think this is about it.

I've been to most all dealerships in town and Tampa. Sarasota Ford is truly the very best. Your place is amazing service form and function! I now use Sarasota Ford s Quick Lane for oil changes and fluids. I get in and out quickly theres a coffee Barrista on duty and they also serve breakfast and lunch items..relaxation room, movie theater room, watch the salt water fish huge fish tank or the living wall, or borrow a courtesy car and get to your next appointments on time..they do it all! Thomas is one of the best automotive guys I have dealt with he's professional and he listens!! At Sarasota Ford I get luxury service at a fraction of the price!

This car met all our requirements and we are very happy with our purchase. We are return customers and feel very comfortable working with Doug Lawrence and David Bruton. They made shopping easy and no stress.

Even though I bought my truck in Venice and I could get the my service and oil changes elsewhere cheaper, I will never go anywhere else. This Quick Lane is the best in the area and the manager, Thomas, is absolutely spectacular. You won't find a cleaner and better organized service department anywhere. I can actually trust the work being done (you can watch it yourself while you wait) and if there's ever an issue, Thomas will be sure to make it right, immediately.

This car met my needs. It is spacious for my 3 kids and their friends, with plenty of room on the third row sit. The remote key and keyless start is very useful, specially summer time, when you can leave the car locked but running, so the AC is still cooling.

roomy, sharp looking, comfortable and affordable, great value for my money spent. has all the traits of a more expensive suv but at an affordable price

Called in for repair and was scheduled within 2 hours. Had a liquid leak in front of car, but could not see where leak was or what type fluid. Randi had me meet with technician and I showed him pictures of fluid on garage floor and described the fluid. Randi kept me abreast of findings and although it took longer than I thought, I waited for the car. Work was completed and vehicle checked out ok. I have not noted any further leaks. Good job by all and THANKS.

The car met all our needs but one, towing. Decent and as advertised but not great with rolling hills or the mountains of Tennessee. Advertised limit is really the limit.

My service advisor Phil is always polite, conscientious and explains fully what my car needs and what was done on my car. I feel I can trust his expertise and advice.

This car is reliable, comfortable, and best SUV all around. Very comfortable for long car rides and best value for what you're paying! Get the best of both luxurious and safe driving.

Get your vehicle evaluated and repaired here! Less drama is better for everyone! Customer reviews are based on complex individual expectation resulting in a subjective report about their experience. My expectation is based on measurable outcome indicators when purchasing products and services. The dealerships service staff was professional in terms of their skills, professional knowledge and practical mechanical ability. This is known as skill knowledge and ability metrics "KSA". My 2016 SUV was thoroughly evaluated by Technician Mechanical staff who identified some problematic issues which are slated for repairs when the parts become available. Individual attention to detail internal dealership communication resulted in me being keeping me informed about the progress of the diagnosis of my vehicles repair requirements. The team at AutoNation Ford service department led by Dave Dalrymple demonstrated exceptional leadership ability becoming directly involved when leadership decisions became necessary. Donyelle Williams is an experienced service advisor who diligently worked with leadership and mechanical technician staff. I told Dave the service manager that he and the staff had earned my business by bringing to bear all the resources available to them through the Ford warranty program. Modern technology has provided consumers the opportunity to bring their concerns and experiences to the general public which is a keen incentive for businesses to be focus on process improvement for goods and services. If you as a consumer use these public or internal customer service review opportunities your voice is magnified and can have a significant impact on any business. It has never changed. One serious misstep by individual or business can wipe out a lifetime of “at a boys” validations. I recommend this Ford dealership service department team. I encourage you to stay informed and be part of the process that results in a value-added solution to your vehicles maintenance needs. The repairs on my vehicle have not yet been fully affected but the process leading up to this point demonstrated the integrity of this dealership staff. Trial and error are part of the life's journey to excellence Join Auto Nation Ford they have a work culture demands excellence.

This vehicle has everything we wanted. There is plenty of storage room and holds 7 people comfortably. There are usb plugs in front and back. Great ride, quite and smooth.

As is my usual experience, the service at Matthew Currie is timely and well done with the service personnel very polite and helpful. Good job as always.

I recommend Explorer those looking for comfort and spacious car interior. Everything is well designed and looks luxurious all over. I purchased this two months ago and might be a little soon to review its performance but so far I am happy with what I got. I just don't recommend the dealership where I bought from : " Ford of Orange, CA" stay away from them.

My Sig other was recently diagnosed with dementia and I had to sell his car-Ford Fiesta-Randy was Extremely Courteous and helpful in making this happen for me-within 24 hrs the deal was made and completed--he knew I was under a lot of stress since I was traveling to St Pete several times a week where my Sig other was and is still in the VA. Hospital--I could not have had a more competent, caring and helpful employee/salesperson to assist me with this(car had been purchased 2-1/2 months ago at Fucillo and they really could care less about helping me at all-only approx. 1500 miles had been driven on it after purchase-and I know now I overpaid initially)I know now never to go to another dealer-- however Sig other was adamant about the original deal--I do hope Randy can be rewarded for his exemplary care and attention he gave to me in my time of need..He does deserve more than a "pat on the back" some kind of acknowledgement from your higher ups would be nice!!!One less piece of stress for me..now I just need to find nursing home placement for my sig other while I work a 5 day week in a Hematology/Oncology office locally-Thank you so much for having him as an employee!!!

engine slips at 55-60 and when it takes off.I have had this car over a year and am so tired of the skipping.Ford motor said to just drive it til they get a code to fix it..I think when you pay this much for a car and it's new it should run like one...not a very happy customer.My family has always been a ford family..

Johnny Wheelz is the man he made this experience quick and easy! Def recommend asking for him when you walk in!!!!!! Thank me later folks!!!! 😎😎😎

I wasn't looking for this one but it stood out and I had to test drive it. My Wife feel in love with it before we got out of the lot.

John Howard at Matthews Currie is the kind of salesman every dealer wishes they had. Informative and educated on his product line he listened to me about my issue ( I had a Chevrolet truck I was unhappy with) and found me a solution ( F-150 4x4). I love my new truck and the whole Matthew???s Currie family has treated me great. Go see John if you are looking to get a great vehicle at a great price with great service!

love my new explorer, easy to use, drives great, upgraded radio is user friendly with the navigation, radio, cd, and satellite. so much room the seats fold in many ways depending on what type of room you need

Dear All, My recent experiences with MCF include an oil change, new tires, body work and purchase of a new F150. Kevin in service has been wonderful and he recommended Randy in sales...he???s also great. Randy has been super during my buying experience...hands down. Bill W. Was also great with the paperwork. Jesse Body Shop was also fantastic. Great team. Almost forgot Marty in parts...wonderful help..thanks. Before purchasing a new Ford, I explored Chevy and Dodge dealerships and saw how they operated. They don???t hold a candle to how professional, knowledgeable and truly caring the MCF folks are. Thank you all for being a great team. I???m impressed. My best, Jim Cranston, CDR/USN(Ret) USCG Lic. Master

Wonderful car to drive. My wife had a computer failure which did not let her drive the car. Failure was "Auto Park Assist Failure" disabled power steering. We had to have it towed to the dealer. Car has only 200 miles on it. WEIRD!!

I get my car service at Auto Nation because it's close to my home & work. The courtesy van drivers are nice and try to control their shifts for the customer's convenience. I did wait briefly before I was helped by the manager, Sheila. Even tho, I didn't have a coupon, she gave the oil change @ $39.95 which is what I've paid on my last 3 visits.

This vehicle has everything that I need, tow package, four wheel drive and is very stylish and comfortable inside. The third row seating is surprisingly roomy and I love the stowable seats.
