Used Ford Explorer for Sale in East Peoria, IL

Today I signed the papers for my second lease with Mike Murphy Ford after meeting several times with Anthony Davis. Throughout both interactions (2015 and 2018), Anthony was professional, helpful, and encouraging: but NOT pressuring me to make a decision. For comparative purposes, I talked with two other local Ford dealers after my initial meeting with Anthony in early January 2018. The first sales person at Dealer #1 was - in a word - obnoxious, presenting the idea that anyone would be privileged to work with him. The second person (Dealer #2) was more professional; but after I met with him for two hours and given him a written list of questions I needed to have answered in order for me to make a decision, did not respond for more than 5 days. In that e-mail, he only addressed half of what I had asked. I sent him another e-mail containing the questions, and received no response. Anthony was very patient, answering all of my many questions in a timely manner; and did not pressure me to spend more than I can afford. It has been a pleasure to work with him.

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.

We bought a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid from Mike Murphy Ford. Jimmy was our sales person. He was very nice, no pressure. When I first called about the car, he disclosed two minor blemishes (wheel and trim piece by the bottom of the door) that the dealership was going to repair. They did excellent work and made it look great. When we received the car from detailing, it had a significant scratch on the roof, no fault of the dealership's. We called Jimmy and he made it right, no questions asked. We are currently waiting to get the car back, but they have made a big hassle very easy to deal with. Thanks for that. Fully recommend the dealership and Jimmy!

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.

Nick Reece provided very professional, friendly and helpful service in our purchase of our new F150. We left feeling we got more than we paid for, because we did. We took advantage of several Ford and personal discounts, i.e., Ford military veteran discount, 3 Ford rebates plus Ford Financing rebate which Mike Murphy and his staff helped us use. Also learned Mike Murphy is very clear and concise with extended warrantees, which we purchased for the first time ever. Nick Reece demonstrated that he is very knowledgeable and efficient in his job and helped us get approved for some good discounts which we were seeking. He knew we were coming in because we had called and had the F150 all ready to test drive and greeted us as we walked in the door. Absolutely no waiting. We'll be back and will recommend Mike Murphy Ford, even to our 4 children who are all in their 20's and will probably be making their 1st new car purchases in the future. Todd Brekke took care of our financing and other paperwork in a very timely, efficient manner and had good informative answers for all our questions. The entire purchase was complete and we drove the truck home in a short afternoon visit after lunch, about 2.5 hours, lock, stock and barrel. And we got to talk with Mike Murphy too. FIVE STARS!!!

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!

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.

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.

I have been looking for a new vehicle to replace my 2014 Ford Explorer for several weeks. The dealership I have worked with on several prior vehicles could not seem to make the deal I wanted, so at the advice of a co worker I decided to give Mike Murphy a try. I was immediately impressed with the level of customer service and respect given by My salesman, Jimmy Howard. As a woman, at times, I get the feeling that I am treated like I don???t need to know/ wouldn???t understand the specifications, history etc of the vehicle. I did my research on what I wanted and WhaybI as willing to pay??? Jimmy, the finance department, and business manager were able to get me exactly what I wanted at the price I wanted to pay. Moreover, I was treated as the experienced, competent car buyer that I am. Thanks Again Jimmy! I encourage you to request JIMMY HOWARD by name the next time you decide to purchase a vehicle.

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.

We walked into Mike Murphy Ford in Morton, Ill not expecting a whole lot, However, when we got in we met Jimmy Howard who helped us find exactly what we were looking for. We were idolizing a small ford focus or and older fusion that was a little cheaper. he first set us up with a 2008 Ford Focus that didn't really fit our style. Then when we asked him what else he had, he told us about a 2013 Ford Focus Se. When we went over to the annex to retrieve the car, We found ourselves looking at a used but practically new vehicle. It had over 100,000 miles on it, However, it was in great condition for how long it had been used. Jimmy Howard helped us find exactly what we were looking for!

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 purchased a 2017 Ford Fusion today from Mike Murphy Ford and could not be more excited! Nathan was the easiest salesman to work with and I was very pleased to have met him. I first viewed this car online a couple weeks ago and Nathan was awesome about reaching out to me and arranging for a good day for me to come down (I live in Chicago) and once I arrived, he was very informative and knowledgeable on the Fusion and the car buying process in general. For anyone who is looking for a new car with a refreshing buying experience I highly recommend Nathan Noyes at Mike Murphy Ford in Morton!

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.

Couldn???t of been happier with the purchase of my 2013 Ford Fusion with Dan! I would highly recommend any & all of my friends and family to purchase their next vehicle with Dan at Mike Murphy of Morton, IL

This car has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a premium vehicle, but at a much more affordable price. The interior is sleek and accommodating, as well as comfortable. I love the double panel sunroof and the heated seats! So far it's doing decent on gas mileage for considering its size. It also doesn't feel like driving a tank, it maneuvers well and rides smoothly!

Brett is awesome!! He worked hard to get me everything I wanted and needed in my new Jeep! Our experience with Brett at Mike Murphy was nothing short of amazing! Thank you, love my Jeep Compass 😍

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 .

My wife and I had a great experience. We came in knowing what we wanted and didn???t feel hassled or pressured by the staff, even when we decided to take our time and consider other options. We came back a few days later, wrapped up a deal and drove away happy! (Bonus: Our 13 month old LOVED the play area in the dealership while we were looking/test driving Sorentos)

Does it all for us! Incredible vehicle for the $$. We believe the Explorer is the best bang for the buck. We will love this car for another ten years min.

When I purchased my last vehicle nearly 10 years ago, I was so disappointed with my local treatment across Peoria, that I ended up going to Chicago to buy an SUV. Well... I’m here to announce that PEORIA IS BACK!! Green Chevrolet on north Knoxville in Peoria should be your first & last shopping destination. Recently...it was my PRIVILEGE and BLESSING to go through the entire purchase process at Green Chevrolet. I called and asked for their top senior salesman, and that’s when I met Mr. Bill Shaw. Within 3-short-hours...Bill quickly & courteously ushered me through my buying experience. From trade-in to purchase...a TOP-NOTCH encounter! I challenge you to go to Green Chevrolet...see Mr. Bill Shaw...make your best deal...and then shop it around town. You won’t find a better car dealership experience in central Illinois... I mean...for heavens sake...who has a complete breakfast-bar in their vehicle service waiting area? THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!

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.

I waited a few weeks to write my review to let any unfair buyer's remorse pass. I have to give credit to my salesman: Bob Hunter was great to work with overall and should be credited with making the sale and follow-up service experience a better one. Bob reached out to me after my initial price request via email was turned down. He emailed and said they would be willing to work with me on the price I requested. That was good news! We decided to test drive on a Monday night, an hour before they closed. I made it clear to Bob that I was likely not purchasing that night. If all went well, I would be back the following day to make the purchase. We test drove the car, ended up really liking it, and Bob asked what it would take to drive home. I told him if they agreed to the price and concessions, I saw no reason we couldn't make it happen that night. We ended up agreeing to purchase the car that night for what we thought was a more than fair deal. I suppose any issues I had could be attributed to it being so close to their closing time. I could have done a better job of identifying issues on my end with more time. We agreed to the price, got approved for financing, and overall, it was a pretty painless experience. Two issues did arise afterwards, though. The first was we found out there was only one keyfob for the car. Admittedly, this was a personal pet peeve of the process. We called a Hyundai Dealer afterwards and got quoted over $400 for a new one. That definitely left a sour taste in my mouth and made a great deal...less great. In addition, we found after a day of driving, the driver's side door did not align properly and needed adjustment. These were things that I could have noted or remembered to ask about if I allowed myself more time. To my surprise, Bob called me today (over two weeks after purchase) and told me they located an additional keyfob for the SUV we purchased. If I were a betting man, he went out of his way to get one made. I don't know that for sure, but in the least, he secured a second key for us. This follow-up, a few weeks afterwards, definitely made the sale in my mind. We were happy with the price, but having one keyfob really sucks for a mixed-use family vehicle. If you are still wondering about the Driver's Door issue, I can credit them with at least looking at it for free. My only recommendation, and it is one that would apply to any dealer, is allow yourself ample time to look over the car before purchase and make note of all of those issues before purchasing. In the end, we're very happy buyers. We got the car we wanted, for the price we wanted, and a salesman that went out of his way to make things right after the fact when there was no additional incentive to do so (except maybe this review). I'd recommend Bob to friends and family for a great purchasing experience.

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.

Recently I was in need of a used truck for my lawn care business. Knowing that it not only is hard to find a good used truck but honest dealers I was somewhat hesitant. But after all was said and done I felt like they treated me well and gave me a good price on a used vehicle . We're honest and upright in all their dealings with me and kept their word. I would highly recommend them and they are the first place I will look next time.

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.

Very professional and everyone there was super nice got our car serviced and ready for a little weekend getaway!!! I called got in for an appointment that worked perfect with my work schedule huge bonus!!!

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.

service personnel are are always friendly and knowledgeable.

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.

An outstanding experience! They drove me 40 + miles round trip to return my rental unit and when I told them I had cousins in the area to see when the transaction was done the expedited the process all the while making certain I understood things and took the time to be sure I was comfortable with the deal. In 46 years of purchasing vehicles I have not been involved with a better situation than what Highway Chevrolet Buick GMC provided.

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.

Tom Rich was a no pressure salesman ,they do great pricing and we were in and out in a couple hrs with a new f150 I would recommend if you want a great buying experience go to Heller in Elpaso Il.

Could not believe how easy, and relaxed this process was! Loved the whole experience! Cory Bellot and Steve Johnson made the entire experience fun, clear, effortless, and simple. The guys gave me a straight forward approach without leading me astray! I would recommend these 2 over and over! After searching for a new vehicle for some time, I walked in and walked out knowing that I was being taken care of and getting exactly what I was looking for! I appreciated their honesty and was well worth the drive to El Paso to work with them!

I saw a car I was interested in on their website and submitted a request for information. Cliff emailed me the info quickly and offered other options after asking what options I wanted. When we both felt comfortable he had a couple of quality options for me he invited me to come look at them in person. I was greeted with a big smile and firm hand shake and made to feel very welcomed and the whole dealership made me feel appreciated. Long story made short I bought the car that night after visiting 5 other dealers before that night. I had a small issue with the car after I got it home when I called Cliff and explained what it was was a simple "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT". Absolutely no hesitation and it was fixed. It was very anticlimactic as I was expecting to have to argue with them. This is a GREAT place to deal with. My last.4 cars have all been bought at different dealers but I already know where my next one will be bought, HELLER. THANK YOU

Handles great. Plenty of power. Roomy. Good interior design. Lots of extras. Economical. Laying down the back seats gives you plenty of room or stand them up to haul a couple more people.
