Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Plant City, FL

I tried for three and a half weeks to purchase a vehicle from Brandon Ford to absolutely NO avail. The finance manager there said since I had no credit, I would need a huge down payment or a co-signer. Neither which I had. I saw a vehicle on the website of Jarrett Scott Ford of Plant City and rode out there on St Patty's Day. The finance manager at Jarrett Scott Ford also told me I had no credit. Here is the HUGE difference in the two dealerships though....the manager at Jarrett Scott Ford actually took the time to go the extra step and personally called Ford credit and spoke with them directly. I have been at the same job for 28 years, paid off a furniture loan in less than one year and a couple other small things going in my favor. Next thing I know, they came out and said not only did I get the loan on my signature, but I also got the exact vehicle I wanted! I will ALWAYS recommend Jarrett Scott Ford of Plant City and Mike Shelburn who was my wonderful salesman. No pressure buying and they go that extra step for their customers! Great job to the entire team and a huge THANK YOU!!! I am still smiling while driving my 2013 Ford Edge SEL that I have lovingly dubbed "My Black Beauty". <3

I left an unfavorable review below because I did not receive good customer service when we purchased the car. The store manager called me personally to apologize and will address with his team. He also sent me the operators manual for the car that we purchased since the salesman that sold me that car told me that the car is purchased as is without it. The store manager made it right and I appreciate him for it. Thanks.

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!

Great experience purchasing a car. No hassle. Staff was friendly and attentive. They let me do my thing but checked on me often. Was there on a Saturday - weekends are busy for them. Left with a great deal on a car!! Will definitely be back! My best advice.. use their site and pre-check your financing. It will save you time. Great company!

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.

Very pleasant experience at EVO Motors. Cars are super cheap all the guys are friendly expect to pay $2,000 to $5,000 below any other place but you dont get to negotiate or ask for any free things which was ok to me. Financing was easy as well and we got offered almost the same interest as my bank offered and financed thru them with a large national lender their extended warranty option is also great . The only complaint is some of the cars need to be cleaned or not detailed very well but I did ask them to clean somethings they missed and they did.

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 all know car buying is nerve wracking and I went in feeling no different. Stressed and apprehensive about what I was sure to deal with. But I went in with a friend just after they opened on a tuesday and was greeted quickly by Jay. He inquired about what I was there for. Perhaps I made it easy on them, or easier than most, as I was very prepared and had researched for a long time before coming in. But I gave him the car I was looking for and he took me right to it. He also explained how they worked there. They don't pressure or hover but are there when I was ready with questions or to test drive. When that first car turned out to be an unsure for me, I asked to look at a few others I had saved online. Those 2 were sold but they took me inside to look at their inventory and I wrote down 3 more. They sent guys out to round them up and bring them up front for me. I looked them over, test drove. I asked questions about hidden fees and Jay responded immediately without trying to run around it. I found one that I wanted, a 2014 Altima that was priced to sell. I came in preapproved and just had to fill out the quick credit app on their computer then they sent it in, about 10 min later it came back and I called the insurance while he finalized. He was wonderful, knowledgeable and efficient. When I came back thr paper work was ready and he explained everything, the breakdown with all the amounts were on their own page, the amounts were exactly as I expected for tags, tax, title, no hidden fees, there was and small and fair dealer fee especially compared to most places in FL but no additional fees. It was incredibly straight forward. I signed, paid and when I was ready to go, the car was washed and waiting for me out front. It was a great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone. They are fair, honest and no bull. I would like to give a little shout out to Javier who really went out of his way for me and was incredibly kind and helpful. My friend who was with me was so impressed when she is ready to replace her recently totalled car, she will be shopping here. Thank you all so much for making what is usually a dreaded way to spend a day, into something I enjoyed.

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.

We purchased our new 2017 Explorer Limited on 12/30/2017 during Brandon Ford's Year-End Sales Event. We had never seen a dealership so busy! After test driving 3 Explorers (2 pre-owned & 1 new), we made a decision to purchase new. Charles was very patient with our long, decision-making process and was able to answer all our questions. The finance stage of our purchase was just as enjoyable and Matt explained all of our options in great detail. Since our purchase day, we have been enjoying our new 2017 Explorer Limited and looking forward to many future trips. Thank you, Brandon Ford! We will be back!!!! Patti & Mike

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 now know why these guys are the #1 Ford Certified Dealer in the Nation. We were shopping for a Certified Ford C-Max (the plug in hybrid) last May and checked out several dealers in the Tampa Bay area. While many stores offered us great service and good pricing, the deal that we got at Brandon Ford was almost a thousand dollars less than the best deal we found anywhere else. On top of that, we had a completed deal for our trade in at another store that would buy ours for cash, and Brandon Ford offered us even more money to make it possible to do the whole deal there with them. What a TIME SAVER that was!!! JC Clements was our salesperson, and he stayed on top of everything and was very communicative about each step along the way. The vehicle was cleaned up and ready for us when we arrived to take delivery and all of the paperwork was printed out and waiting for us. Our finance manager, Barrie Moss, made the final step of the process quick and painless. He even saved us money over our own bank on the financing and found a way to extend the Ford Certified warranty for 8 years at a super affordable rate, because of the low mileage that my wife and daughter drive. We had a few electrical issues with the vehicle after we took delivery and that is where these guys really shined. They made that part as painless as possible and put us in a FREE rental while the work was completed... They even replaced the defective plug in charger at no additional charge, which saved us over $300. So glad we bought from the folks at Brandon Ford... They sure did us right!

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.

My husband's worse nightmare is buying a car, However we had the pleasure of buying a 2018 Ford Explorer from Brandon Ford on September 8 and it was a pleasure. My husband went on line and this dealership had the type of car we were looking for. We had read to call a dealership before we travel there to ensure they actually have the car. Bob spoke with Russ Anderson, our salesperson, and he assured us the cars were actually there. After driving 2 1/2 hours we arrived at a huge lot of spotless cars. Russ Anderson was knowledgeable, helpful and personable in showing us the vehicles we were interested in. Their online prices and descriptions were real. He patiently explained all of the features including the Ford SYNC which was very helpful. We then went inside to see if we could make the deal with our trade in vehicle. The showroom and was clean and even the bathroom was nice.There was coffee, water and snacks available. After minimal discussion we struck the right deal, receiving a fair price for our tradin. The financial person was also great. She was efficient and friendly. In fact, I noticed that the employees working there, including the front desk area, actually seemed to be having a good day! It was just a nice atmosphere. I will return to this dealership in the future when I'm ready for my next car Highly recommend! Bob and Marylou Belote

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.

Rivard GMC used to service our Yukon XL and the service and professionalism was always top notch. It was this experience and familiarity that led us back to them when we were looking for a mid-size truck. After visiting another GMC dealer where they made little attempt to try and meet our requirement, we went to Rivard. We originally went there to look at a slightly used truck and test drove it but the price was not much less than a new one. Mr Anthony Edwards was very patient and very professional as he showed us their used inventory and newer options. He was very pleasant and forward with valuable information and not pushy with probing questions. He listened to our questions, answered them and offered options. He showed us several new models and broke down the numbers and all were on par or better with another dealer's offer. But his willingness and patience to assist us was the exceptional factor in accepting a very good offer on a new model and gave us a couple of days to ponder. Afterwards we went to a nearby Chevy dealer where we looked at their counterpart model. We told the sales rep we also looked at the GMC version and he concurred the GMC models were a little higher quality than the Chevy version. When we decided on a comparable model and attempted to negotiate a price, the Chevy offer was at least $500 more on supposedly/admittedly a lesser quality than a GMC. They asked what would it take for us to accept their more expensive offer and we reiterated that they have to give us an incentive in lower price to bring us over from the GMC offer. They were not willing to do so and we accepted Mr Edwards offer at Rivard GMC. Mr Anthony Edwards without a doubt has been the most pleasant auto sales rep we have ever dealt. After dealing with other dealers, we felt very confident we received a very good deal from Rivard GMC and Mr Anthony Edwards was the key!

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.

I highly recommend Matt Duke as your salesperson. Matt is the best of any auto sales person I have worked with in all my years of buying cars which is well over 45 years. Truly, I felt like I was buying a car and NOT being high pressured like many car salespeople are. The "experience was exceptional" with Matt's consultation. He gets A++, 6 stars out of 5, 12 out of 10 ... however you want to rate... for providing trust, confidence, ability to answer all my questions (I ask many questions) and assisting us in making the right decision on the right car, the Genesis G90, for my needs. Matt displayed "excellent self control with patience" and went above and beyond and delivered the Genesis G90 to my home, on Sunday, his day off, and spent well over 3 and 1/2 hours going over all the features on the car. Finance person, Robinson Aswood, was exceptional and patient in assisting me to understand our lease agreement, and answering my many questions to understand the lease terms. Thank you Robinson. I am grateful for this car buying experience and all the people who worked with me at Brandon Hyundai. Thank you, Shannon & Richard Damschen, Realtors with Keller Williams Realty

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!

In our lifetimes, we have worked with 14 car dealerships to purchase vehicles. I am pleased to say Brandon Ford was THE BEST dealership to work with hands down. We drove nearly five hours to purchase our new 2017 Ford Mustang GT Premium (our sixth Ford vehicle). Initially I thought there is no way a dealership could be as fabulous as the reviews indicated. However, the entire process from the initial call to arriving the next day was seamless, professional and very warm. Our salesman, Jim Gordon, and the sales manager Bob Mulroy, lived up to the glowing reviews and then some. They were honest, transparent, worked hard for our deal, and have an incredible inventory of Ford vehicles on site. We received a significant discount as they are a high volume dealer with down home service. Any vehicle color or trim level you want to see is certainly on their lot. This makes for a cool vehicle buying experience! There was no pressure, there was simply pride in exceptionally crafted American vehicles. They believe in their products and their work proves their commitment. We left grateful, proud of our new vehicle, and a long-time friend of Brandon Ford's. Since leaving, we have received a call as well as email following up on our experience and ensuring all our needs were met. This is rare customer service that extended beyond a business. The truly care about their products, their customers, and every transaction that they make. Well done, team. I am proud to have purchased an American made product from an outstanding team of professionals.

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.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

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.

I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

This car looks 'classy', has lots of 'bells and whistles', lots of horsepower, very 'cushy' inside. Sadly, had to say good bye to our Jeep Sahara; she was not well. We'll miss her looks, but we'll enjoy the smooth ride, and cush of our Explorer.

I was referred to Texas Direct Auto/Vroom by a good friend and I???m glad I decided to go with them for my car purchase! I initially got Billie as my car sales personnel, but she seemed to be very pushy and just aiming to make quick sale; which is something that made me very uncomfortable. After speaking with her for a while I advised I would give her a call back to speak with my financial advisor on proceeding further on this process with Vroom. When I called back I got a different agent that saw in the system that saw I was talking to Billie and advised me that she would give me a call back in 5 mins, well 30 mins passed and I called back upset because I did not hear back from her after she ran my credit and didn???t like the fact I wasn???t trying to put 2500 down. My credit score was excellent I had a 740, but I didn???t have enough credit history she said is the reason why she kept asking me to put so much money down on 23k 24k car. The last time I called upset after not hearing anything from her a gentleman by the name of Shannon Humbles answered and I advised him that I did not want to work with Billie anymore because she made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like she didn???t personally care about helping me through the process of the purchase. Shannon is an ALLSTAR!! He went over and beyond the call of duty to help me make this purchase!!! 7 days later my vehicle sits in my parking garage and I love it! The process was so easy to purchase, I had to put 1500 which is the standard, instead of 2800 that???s Billie was demanding that I put down! Please go with Vroom! I saw a couple bad reviews and I know every process has its flaws, but I???m here to tell you, they work! They are a very good company and I look forward to making another purchase with them for my girlfriend???s Christmas gift! Thanks Shannon and Vroom!!!!

This exployer is the nicest one that I have had by far. Very nice driving vehicle. Love the cooling and heated seats. Love heated steering wheel.

This past Sunday the 22nd I visited Elder Ford looking for a good deal for my dream car. I was very lucky to be served by Eddie Burke who is one of the sales associate. Eddie was very honest, understanding, and worked with me for several hours in order to help me get the best deal. Even though I couldn't get what I was looking for, I left this awesome dealer very happy and with a lot of knowledge on how to work towards getting a better deal. Eddie helped me understand every aspect of what I wanted and tried to help me the most. His customer service skills are highly recommended for anyone who wants to feel good while making the big step of buying a new car. Eddie is a great asset for this Dealership and I think because of him and other associates like him, this is a great place to buy a car. Elder Ford of Tampa also has a great selection of new cars with the latest technology. Thank you Elder Ford of Tampa, thank you Eddie Burke, and when I'm ready I would definitely go back to you guys to buy my dream car. Furthermore I will definitely recommend this dealership and Mr. Burke to all my friends and family.

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..

My wife and I came into the Infiniti dealership in Tampa just 15 minutes before closing. Kevin met us at the door and stayed with us until we closed the deal. I have been purchasing/leasing car for over 30 years. The experience with Kevin was, by far, the best experience I have ever had. To put it in perspective, car purchasing is one of my very least favorite things to do. I have had absolutely horrible experiences over the years, with dishonest, lying and manipulative salesman that have zero integrity. Unfortunately car salesmen, in general, have earned their less than satisfactory reputations. Kevin is an extreme exception. He walked us to several QX80???s. We could not devide between two colors, but definitely wanted the 22??? wheels. Kevin offered to find a vehicle with those wheels, in one of the colors we liked. He had 10+ vehicles in the lot, yet did not try to push us into any of them. He found for us exactly what we wanted. Kevin had a very in depth knowledge of the QX80. He has obviously spent many hours learning and understanding the details of this highly technical vehicle. I felt like I was learning from an expert trainer, not a car sales man. And we had not yet made a deal. Not once during the deal, did we feel even the slightest amount of pressure or manipulation attempts, (which is very common in my experience). Although we did not fully agree on the price of the QX80, nor the value of my trade, the negotiation was comfortable and fair. We both moved enough to make a reasonable deal. Once we made the deal, Kevin got our new vehicle ready for us while George handled the paperwork. George is a young and very knowledgeable professional. He was friendly and easy to talk too. All the paperwork was ready to sign and in order so that the process would go quickly. It took about 20 minutes. Which is exceptional. By the time we finished signing, Kevin had our car detailed and ready to go. This is at 10:30 pm. They closed at 8:00, yet still had personnel on site to prep our new car. I did not expect this at all. We saw the manager twice, just briefly. I do not remember his name, which is not a bad thing. It is because Kevin and George handled their business. so there was little need for a managers involvement with us. I will say that the manager was welcoming, genuine and made us feel comfortable. When we got in our new car, we were ready to drive off. Kevin got in the car and spent another 20+ minutes going over the details of the InTouch process. He connect both my wife???s and my phones. We now have a very good, general understanding of how to use most features in the highly technical vehicle. Kevin welcomed is to the Infiniti family. This could be a very cliche comment. However, he meant it. He offered to review anything we needed at any time. Kevin is a first class, car sales professional. He genuinely cares about his customers and wants them to be happy. Infiniti of Tampa should be very proud to employ people like Kevin and George. We will definitely come back to Tampa Infiniti and we???ll share our experience with friends and family. My hope is that Kevin and George both receive some sort of significant recognition as a result of this review. I have always been a very bitter customer when it comes to vehicle purchases, due to so many years of repeated bad expedited. So this feed back does not come easy. In this case, it was absolutely earned. Thank you Kevin and George.

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 returned to Kuhn Honda to lease my second car and had a wonderful experience! Zach called a month ago and suggested I come back in early (about 5 months) and see if there was something we???d want to trade our current leased car (2016 Accord). Tyler was our salesman and Steve/Cory the Mgrs. all were extremely professional and I enjoyed working with them! Special call-out to Andy Johnson in Finance! I have never had such a pleasant experience when closing the deal financially! Thank you!!! D. Mark Peterson

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.

Very good service day! Had an appointment at 9am and was finished by 9:50am. All work wad done in an excellent fashion. Thanks for taking care of me and my wife. Needed to be a quick work day because my wife is not well. You exceeded my expectations.

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 great experience from start to finish , the whole process was easy and pleasant. Neil and his team delivered just as they promised! they picked us up from the airport at no cost to us and the car was just as described, their showroom setup is awesome !

This car met all requirement has plenty room front and bag it ride grade has Sony sound system and 3UBS port doula moon roof leather seat and more.

Overall a good purchase experience. Tim was patient and provided all documents I requested. Everyone was polite and not pushy. I contacted the dealer the next day to ask about a spare key because I purchased late at night and everyone was ready to go. I feared that I may have forgotten to ask for it or the team forgot to provide it. After making contact I was told I would get an answer and I have not received an update on the spare key. The car was purchased with just one key. I would appreciate an update on availability of a spare key (858-361-0647)

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.
