Used 2017 Ford Focus for Sale in Ames, IA

I came to the dealership in May of 2016 and talked with George Meza about finding a lease return A6. We looked for several weeks but could not find the right car. After several subsequent conversations, George suggested a new A6 that they had on the lot, that met my list of requirements. I had not intended to purchase a new vehicle, but after George and the dealership had worked their magic with the price, purchasing the new car was an opportunity that I could not pass up. --- Fast forward to October 2018. I was in town and called ahead, to George, to make sure he would be available to talk about the new 2019 A6. George's knowledge about the new A6 was amazing and I found out more about that car than I had ever anticipated. I am not ready to change cars yet, but when I am, I will be contacting George Meza. D.

Excellent ride.. Very comfortable and safe car!! Extremly reliable.. Sleek and sexy but very very durable! I would buy this car over and over as I am loving It!!

We just purchased our second new Toyota vehicle from Wilson Toyota in Ames. We purchased a Toyota Venza in 2013. That purchase experience went smoothly, and we have been very satisfied with the car. Wilson Toyota has handled all service for our Venza, and we have been highly satisfied with their customer service. Our positive experience brought us back to Wilson Toyota for our most recent purchase of a 2018 Highlander Hybrid. We spent a considerable amount of time with our sales rep, Jacob Harmelink, exploring vehicle features of both the RAV4 and the Highlander before settling on the Highlander Hybrid. Because Wilson Toyota didn't have a vehicle on the lot that had the specific features we preferred, Jacob arranged to get our vehicle from another dealer. In the end, we got the vehicle we wanted. Finalizing the purchase went very smoothly. Thus, we've had another positive purchase experience with Wilson Toyota.

I needed a car that was reliable and got good gas mileage. Also have 2 children in college, so had to be inexpensive. Surprising comfort and extras (bluetooth + aluminum wheels) for the price. Great gas mileage. Nice looking vehicle as well. Hate to part with it.

I went to George White Chevy in July 2017 to get some repairs on my 2003 Duramax and ended up buying a new 2017 Duramax. I was so impressed with Mark Bathie and George White Chevy from my first experience I came back in March 2018 and bought another Durmax From Mark . The whole experience is a good one there all around . If you need a fair place to go for repairs or to buy a vehicle go to George White Chevrolet and See Mark Bathie for your salesman , they are Top Shelf ! 5/5 Stars

I own the Ford Focus SEL 2017 hatchback Ruby Red. I love how smooth it runs. Good on Gas. Sporty look and rims are nice. Everyone likes it. The interior is good looking. Specially the LED lights in the interior and you can change them to any color it has that option! The trunk space is pretty good, also what I like is that I can put the seats down and have lots of room in the back. That's what makes it better of a hatchback than a regular car trunk space. Bluetooth is on point. Also the app called FordPass is amazing you can know anything about your car.

As a mechanic of many years I have been to more car lots than i care to remember helping others pick a car, when I say this dealer stands alone I am not exaggerating, here is my experience and you be the judge. After researching a couple months on the Lincoln I wanted through various sites I decided this dealer had one that interested me so I sent in an application online. Now life has been hard on most of us, so like others my credit score doesnt reflect the hard working responsible person i truely am, and I had expectations of a long search with many pitfalls. I was called by a gentleman named Tom who wanted to know if i had a certain car in mind, of course I already knew the exact one i wanted so I told him and he asked me to come in the next day for a test drive. All the usual things you expect when you open that door to salesmen. I arrived the next day early to have a look and get my first no of the search, Tom brought up the car and while i was on my test drive he checked over my trade in which i already knew wasnt worth much in resale value. I came back and had a seat with him, the atmosphere was relaxing and we carried on an nice conversation as he gathered the information needed for finance to check me out. At no point did I feel pressured or really even feel like i was being sold anything. A couple hours passed while I looked around the showroom at beautiful 1950's Styling, neon signs, old style gas pumps, a coke machine that vended real glass bottles, which Tom showed us as he provided a free coke, even a vintage corvette relaxing in the corner. Tom suggested that Kenny could be busy for awhile trying to find financing for me as he was receiving declines so far and we thanked him for the efforts and left as I expected the case would be. A couple hours passed and my phone rings, as I pick it up and see who is calling I made the comment to my girl, here comes the no. Kenny was on the other end when I answered and told me he had tried many places and I was approved for the loan, huh wha ?? Umm shock fades and I ask ok when can I finalize the deal. Within two more hours I was out and enjoying the new car. If you have been keeping track, thats a total of 6 hours from start to finish. Later when looking at the series of messages sent to me by credit karma I can attest to the work Kenny put in to get me approved as the list of credit inquires was numerous. Most places would not have gotten me approved or pushed for a cheaper car, more down payment, a co signer or simply said no and moved on to the next customer. If you see a car you want from this dealer do yourself a favor and stop in or call or send in an online application, This dealership is the one you have always wanted to deal with and never found.

Replaced my 03 focus with 325000 mi. ( wrecked it). It has different transmission, will take a little getting used to. Everything else seems to be a good upgrade, wish they still had a 2 door.

Rides very well and has great gas mileage. a good size for small family. Currently have a 2004 focus and still drives good. Very easy to maintain and cost of repairs can be affordable.

Even though I was just in for an oil change I was simply curious to see the changes in the 2018 CRV's (mine is a 2015 and I love it). The sales person, Steve, took time to show me a new CRV and thoroughly answered my many questions (and I have many detailed questions!). If the opportunity arises that I need or want a new car I will certainly ask for this salesman. He wasn't pushy and didn't act like I was 'wasting' his time which I really appreciate. Mel and Josh are great in the service department. Even though I am a senior I don't feel 'invisible' when I come in for service (unlike MANY other businesses!) All the guys in the service dept. have been right there when you drive in whether to change wiper blades or to answer a question. The 'overall inspection' this time showed I will need new tires next spring or summer. Thanks to Josh mentioning it, this won't be a 'surprise' next year. Two thumbs up to the whole dealership! Sadly I didn't buy my current car from this dealership, but I will NOT go back to the original place due to the difference in atmosphere/respect/quality of the personnel at Honda of Ames.

This car is exactly what I was expecting but upgraded. I chose to get my 2nd Ford Focus and so far so good!! So much cool technology and nice design packed into a medium size car!

Service department daw friendly and helpful. Jeremiah even showed me some settings on the console that I couldn’t figure out. He was super helpful.

This car is a very reliable car, with good acceleration and good brakes. It includes cruise control and a backup camera. It is very cheap for its quality.

This service center is accommodative of customer needs. While they were unable to get my car in for two weeks while my engine was not running smoothly (the last time this happened, I had to replace my engine) they we're accommodative once the service was performed. There were recommendations to change parts which were contrary to what my primary other shop had indicated, such as: replacing rear shocks and bearings and replacing breaks. Although my brakes have approx 25% left and I plan on replacing them at the 70k mile mark (currently at 66k) the dealer insinuated that I should replace them immediately. After providing a realistic timeline, they agreed that the replacement was not necessary at this time, but should be done in the next 5-10k miles. Regarding the shocks, I had a vehicle inspection at 64k miles, and there was no indication that shocks were in need of repair. At 66k miles, they were apparently completely blown. This is confusing to me, as this drastic a change should not occur over 2k miles. Further, I have not experienced diminished ride quality or "clunking" sounds typical of blown shocks.

Perfect size for me. Loaded with all the cool new feature - sunroof, Bluetooth, heated seats and steering wheel. Excellent gas mileage. Loads of storage in the trunk.

My background is with higher-end retail sales, unfortunately, I loathe shopping for a new vehicle. I am not exactly a "dream customer". Fortunately, Dan Holz, was very responsive to my myriad of tech questions and applied the appropriate nudges to keep this deal going forward. I was impressed with the dealership's flexibility and an amicable purchase price was decided upon. Despite being 156 miles away, Dan at Wilson Toyota, will be my first call regarding any future purchases. The child's letter adorning his office wall was pure gold and this old sales rep even learned a few things. Thank you Dan, and Wilson for the new truck. Karl

Sporty and safe... even my kids think it's cool! I'm very happy with my new car. I am glad I got a car that was leased for only 3 years. Great value, low mileage and such a great overall value!

This is our third vehicle purchase through Bobby Mauro at Reliable Motors. Our first purchase was nearly six years ago. I was driving a 1999 Mercury Marquis. Some Sunday driver did not see my car parked on the street and slammed into it. The insurance company said the car was totaled. A trusted friend told me to see Bobby Mauro. And see him we did. Bobby found me a very loaded Chevy Impala for about the price of the insurance settlement. A few months later my wife needed to replace her 1993 Ford Taurus. Bobby was able to get her into a Ford Escape reasonable equipped for a reasonable price. She loves it and is still driving it. I drove the Chevy Impala for nearly six years. As with all good things even good cars have to be replaced. I called Bobby and told him I believed the lines had crossed with the Chevy Impala. Interestingly, he had replaced some of his inventory. He was able to put me into a 2012 Chevy Equinox. I have never had so much room. I am 6???-05??? and when the driver???s seat is all the way back I can???t reach the pedals. My wife will need to replace her vehicle in the next few years. When that time comes we???ll be giving Bobby that call. Beth King Mike McDonald

I love the comfort and look of this car. It is perfect for what I need! It has all the "hands free" features which I love.

Erika was so personable, wonderful, and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had in regards to my new car in email/texts the few days before I came down from Minnesota to pick my car up! Also, both Jeff and Austin were really great in going over everything I needed to know in regards to my new Ford Taurus before I left the dealership!

The Ford Focus is good overall car especially when saving gas, it’s also good car for a little family and the exterior is really nice

Great place to do business. Would recommend our salespeople and finance management.

This car is stylish, comfortable and fun to drive. The miles per gallon are superb, it runs smooth and quiet. The inside is up to date with heated seats, MyKey, rear backup camera.

This was our second purchase at Deery of Ames, and it matched our first, although the cast of characters was different than the first The overall process was wonderful and painless. Geoffrey (yes, i spelled it correctly) was a true pleasure to deal with. He ended up more of a friend than a salesman after busting his butt to help us get the deal we wanted/needed. His personable nature and relaxed negotiating was a refreshing change from the usual "chasers" one deals with when driving onto a dealership. Our finance guy, Doug was also extremely helpful to us when it came down to the end result. Doug was able to facilitate the closing of the deal to everyone's satisfaction and was so polite and eager to please. If you need to buy a new or used car, go to Deery in Ames and ask for Geoff. He is very easygoing and won't try to con you. If you have done your research (like my wife did) and know what you want, he will do all he can to make it happen and Doug will be straightforward with you and make sure you get what you need. In the end, my experience was pleasant, un-pressured and successful. I cannot say enough good things about Geoffrey Brown!

I love the brakes and the take off. it is a smooth ride and does not feel like a small car. The trunk is small but serviceable but the overall look is sporty.

I have been looking for a new car for about two months now and decided to look into a new Ford. A few weeks ago I was attending a wresting camp in Iowa and decided to conpare prices to those in Kansas. Ames Ford and Lincoln was one of the dealerships I looked at while I was in Iowa. I was blown away by the customer service. The business was very well organized and I received great support from the staff. One employee named Kerrigan, made my experience exceptional! He left a great impression of himself and Ames Ford and Lincoln. Although I did not buy a vehicle, Mr. Kohnen made my experience at Ames Ford and Lincoln exceptional. I would highly recommend looking into buying a car from this dealership.

This car has everything I was looking for. The heated seats, and mirrors is an excellent option. The stereo system sounds fantastic. It's very sharp looking and the gas mileage is a plus. I love this car.

Surprisingly comfortable, great technology, plenty of room for road trips, and great gas mileage. Performance is lacking, but a great daily driver...much better than my Subaru WRX.

I was contacted by Bill Hudesh after inquiring about an XV Crosstrek. He answered every question, followed up with an e-mail message and was decidedly the most professional, honest salesman I've encountered. I'm in Illinois, and the dealership is in Iowa, but I intend to buy through Ramsey, and deal with Bill when I am ready. No pressure, just an invitation to contact him with questions. I'm impressed!

I bought my Ford Focus se flex fuel in 2016. I bought this vehicle as a rideshare vehicle. I drive this car 24/7 almost, pretty much non stop. Current mileage is 139,000 miles, still rides nice and mpg is 31.0. 90,000 miles the clutch in the 6 speed auto trans and even outside of the warranty Ford still replace it for free. I have only had to replace a upper oxygen sensor, evap tube/valve. Iam very happy that the focus has been this reliable. Iam sure with the mileage iam about due for a alternator or a water pump but that is normal, I love this car and its a testament of a rideshare driver who puts 500 miles a day in all traffic conditions that the Focus is a great vehicle and very reliable. Ford guy for life.

My whole experience with George White was great. Everyone was nice & kind, all my questions was answered. We will definitely buy another car from them. Also I had a bulb out & couldn???t get the taillight lens off, I went to them and fixed it for me!!

it is very comfy and hopeful well have this for a while and look forward to dealing with these men that work at poway dealership in the future due to the amazing service

Shopping for a new car, Levi was very impressive. Answered all of my questions and was happy to assist me in my search. I appreciate his attentiveness and knowledge.

This is a good vehicle aside from the eco boosr engine. I do not like that when someone pulls out in front of you the engine shuts off when you hit the brake.

I moved to Iowa and discovered that the only Infiniti dealership would be in Des Moines, about 120 miles from home. I contacted them to have my car serviced (scheduled maintenance) and they offered to pick-up the car at home and drop off a loaner. It takes a little bit more time than just walking in for service (one day for travel each way, plus the service), but it is a VERY good perk, as it is convenient and do not cost anything. All people that I dealt with were nice and everything went as expected. The only small downside is that the loaner is far from the same level from my car. However, this is something you can live with, considering the benefits.

I just bought this car it's fuel efficient and smooth ride makes it a great car also very comfortable plus very good looks and has plenty of get up and go

Excellent selection of quality used vehicles. Priced very fairly, but low-balled big time when wanting to sell them my current vehicle to the tune of nearly 20% below KBB trade-in value.

Love the car but noticed it misses a bit right after I bought it. Later learned there was a recall on the fuel system and a lot of people have complained the recall "fix" didn't fix it. I would probably not buy this car again in the future. Research to make sure this issue isn't on the year you are considering.
