Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Durand, IL

This review will be long winded, but I promise it's worth it! I really cannot say enough good things about my experience at Barkau. I was able to work with Tim Border and I gave him a challenge: to find myself and my husband cars with under 50k miles and to make sure our payments stayed under 500 a month TOTAL. Tim did it for us and he did it in a week. I got an awesome deal on my new Chevy Cruze with under 12k miles and my husband was able to get his Cruze in a hatchback with under 19k miles. Not only did we get awesome cars, but he worked so hard to get our 2013 Escape traded in for its maximum value. And the cherry on the entire experience was how kind he was to not only my husband and I but to my nephew. Tim allowed him to stay and watch cartoons while we test drove, took him to bring cars around for test drives, allowed him to be his "assistant" and even went as far as to offer him pizza while he waited (he even picked those pesky olives off of the pizza for him. Thanks Tim! He still talks about his day at work😂). Tim is great about communication and I have his personal number to be in contact with him throughout the process. And when I say communication, I mean right away. I texted him Sunday to say my air conditioning was making a whiny sound, and he texted me on his day off to let me know he would be available the next day to get it worked out. I am actually sitting having my belt replaced as I type this within 24 hours of voicing my concerns. What a fantastic company and what a fantastic man to work with! Additionally, I really felt like I was never being pressured into a sale and that my budget was being respected. I truly felt like a valued customer. I was made to feel like my time and money was important. My husband and I are very impressed and have told many family members about our experience as well. So much so that my mother is considering trading in her vehicle sometime in the near future and considers Barkau a place she would start her shopping experience. I really cannot say enough nice things about the business and Tim. Both my husband and I are so appreciative. I hope that we will have these cars for a long time, but would definitely make it our priority to shop with Barkau again.

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.

As a divorced mom, I find dealerships intimidating. A friend referred me to Deb Boyden. I was surprised to find a woman knowledgeable about cars and even more surprised that she was willing to work with me and not force me into buying something that wasn't right for me and my kids. My credit wasn't the best, but Deb figured it out. She even met with me on her day off because it was my only free day. I highly recommend Deb and am so thankful to my friend for leading me to her!!

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.

we had a very good experience with this dealership. Excellent customer service, good cars and prices! Thank you very much Erick !!! You are the best!!! 👌🏻

This car is a great ride and met all of my needs! Great for commute or traveling. Offer plenty of leg room as well as head room.

I was there for an oil change and tire rotation. Called for an appointment, and was able to get right in. Service only took 45 minutes. Whole experience was first class.

This car met all of our family needs. We have enjoyed it. It was comfortable for transporting adults in all of the seats as well as children. The TV made the entertainment on long trips seem short and more enjoyable.

Our experience was great. Our salesman Mike was not pushy and understood our needs. So far we are very pleased with our purchase.

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.

Great reception, love the walk-around with me and my vehicle, great and fast service. Went out of their way to make sure met all of my requests.

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.

These people were very good at getting me in and out in a very short amount of time. Their work was excellent an very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone in the Freeport Illinois area.

Love the new color and all the new perks. The Explorer is so smooth on the road . It handles like a luxury car. What a SUV.

Mr Isaac Jackson went above and beyond what we expected in getting us the vehicle of my daughters dreams. He is very respectful, and kept a smile on his face, even after spending so much time helping us. This has been such a wonderful experience. I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Great service!

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.

Went to look at a used 2014 Dodge Avenger today (02/10/18), and all of the staff was friendly and helpful. Brian was great and we can???t wait to work with him again.

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.

My 2013 AWD Encore, that I absolutely loved by the way, was legally parked on the street my daughter lives on in Monroe, WI when a distracted teenaged driver using his cell phone, totaled my beautiful car. I was very depressed and went back to Dearth's in Monroe where I had originally bought the car and asked Keith Riese, a sale's professional there, if he could please find me a car like I had. Well talk about asking and he will find, Keith found me a car that virtually looks exactly like my Encore that was totaled. It is a year newer and has about 30 thousand less miles, a good thing, but it looks and drives just like my 2013. I have done business with one or the other of the Dearth Motors for for over 28 years. The excellent customer service in ALL departments is the reason I keep going back. They are wonderful and I am especially indebted to Keith Riese for finding me a car like I had!

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.

I got an oil change which was fine it just took a bit longer than expected. Everything was looked over thoroughly plus it was a free oil so I can not complain to much. I will be back again. I usually go here for service instead of other dealerships in the area.

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.

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.

Very good experience. It's a used car dealership, so obviously you need to be prepared for everything that comes with buying a used car. But as far so doing so goes, it was pleasant. No pressure, honest, accommodating, and willing to negotiate. No underhanded tricks, reasonable starting prices, and a decent selection of vehicles. If you're looking to buy a car, this is a good place to check out. It's a small town dealership that's been around for a good while, and I haven't heard or experienced anything bad about them.

Great vehicle for a rode trip! Very comfortable! Easy on gas ! Great vehicle to haul the grandkids to ball practice! Easy riding & all out vehicle to be rode in city or country!

Exactly what I was looking for. We had been searching for a while and came across this vehicle on their website. Clean and comfortable vehicle.

I bought a Nissan Sentra and i am very pleased with it Shane was my salesman, he was very knowledgeable and very polite he got me a great deal on the car, I have bought GM cars for many years and decided to see about something different and Shane made it very easy to pick the right car for me. Thank you for your patients with me and for your great service.

lots of storage and cheap to keep . Rode like a car and was great in the snow . Pulled my 20 foot boat with ease.

I was treated courteously and quickly. This is an absolutely great service group. The people are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. If they don't have the answer they will find it. They are always willing to go above and beyond the call!! Vehicle was in and out sooner than expected and done properly. I have the greatest regard for Service Rep. Alisha, Manager Sean and Scot the OPS manager. They all go the extra mile.

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 made an appointment online to test drive a Nissan XTerra. By the way, whoever does their web work and seo (search engine optimization) did an excellent job!. When I did an online search of who has used Xterra's in my price range Manley's was the only dealership to have one. There must be other used XTerra's, and probably closer to where I live as I drove an hour to get to Manley's, but I specifically chose Manley's because they had one and I knew I wanted to drive it. Back to the salespersom... She was great to work with. She was friendly when I came into the dealership, jumped right up to help me and took charge in showing me what I might be interested in after she listened to me. We drove several vehicles and she said she would look for a Subaru, which is a must for me to test drive before I make any buying decisions. I didn't feel any pressure or intimidation, which is what I was worried about. And I certainly felt important even though I'm not ready to buy right now exactly but by October or November. I haven't bought a vehicle in over 10 years! Plus, I received a follow-up e-mail from the GM just checking to make sure my experience was good and to see if there was anything else I needed.

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..

I had an appointment for 7:00 am to have 2 tires put on the front of my truck, along with front end alignment. I was there, first thing in the morning....They asked what time I wanted it done....I said 2:00 as I brought my bicycle along to ride home. (I live 2 miles away), but sooner if possible and to call me when it was done. it was getting around noon, no word from the dealer, so I rode up to see what was happening. Much to my dismay, my truck was sitting in the parking lot, still with the old tires. It had not been moved. I asked a service man why my truck was still waiting....he said he would get someone on it right away. I went across to a McDonalds...had lunch, killed about 45 minutes. When I went back, my truck was still in the same spot. By now, it is almost 1:00 and the service manager said he would get someone on it as soon as they got back from lunch. I told him I needed it by 2:00 as I had to pick up my wife from work. I did not think they could finish it by then and just give me my keys and I would make another appointment. He assured me it could be done...maybe a little after 2. I said I would wait in the waiting room for it. At 1:30, I walked out in the parking lot and IT WAS STILL SITTING IN THE SAME SPOT. I asked again for my keys...this time they gave them to me and we made an appointment for the next day and Ben (device guy) promised me it would get right in. So I took it back the next day...They did take it back right away, installed the new tires, aligned the front end and filled all 6 tires (I have a dually) with nitrogen. They discounted the tires and gave me the alignment t and nitrogen for free, so I was very pleased in then end. Will I go back? Probably, but I will wait for my vehicle, letting them know I need it asap.

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.

I was suspicious of the battery when the car was completely dead, and charging and jumping didn't help, but wasn't sure if something else in the electrical system might be involved. I had the car towed to Manley's Wednesday afternoon, they had a maintenance slot open on Friday afternoon, but the service department called at 9:00 Thursday morning and said it was done! Now that's great service! Thanks so much!

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.

In and out quickly, very attentive while I waited

I love that this car fits all of us and has extra room. I was worried there would not be enough room behind the 3rd row, but it works. I do my navigation was set already, but should be a simple fix!
