Used Ford cars for sale near Madison Lake, MN under $20,000

I just want to give a quick shout out to Jacob Dougherty and Waseca County Auto Sales!! Jacob was super nice, not pushy and totally not like your "typical car salesman". He understood Kelsey and I and what was important to us and what we value the most in buying a car or in this case a SUV/crossover. It's been only one day, but we absolutely love our new ride!! Definitely will be babying this one for a while. I strongly suggest you take a peak at what Jacob has to offer over at WCAS. If you don't see what you're looking for, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give him a call! He's super easy to work with... plus he works directly with Diversified Credit Union, who to be completely honest with you was the friendliest financial institution I have ever worked with, ask for Andrea. Lastly, if you're looking for a dependable Ford Fusion, fully loaded, Jacob has one.. ? Thank you sir! I can speak for both Kels and I, It was a pleasure doing business with you!

I bought this truck used from Long-Lewis in Hoover, Alabama, in July 2025. I like the performance, gas mileage, and drive modes of the 3.5 Liter Twin Turbo with 10 Speed transmission. Lots of interior space, lots of interior and exterior lighting in the right places.

We worked with Renee. She answered any questions we had regarding gas mileage, all the bells and whistles available on the vehicle. Set up my phone and OnStar. Put in floor mats we purchased and fill the gas tank! Extremely knowledgeable. Appreciated her help!

2017 Ford Explorer. I love my car. It runs great but I have had battery problem and trim has blown off my car on freeway. Have not had a lot of problems with it.

Jeff Belzer’s CDJR in New Prague, MN continues to have my loyalty. My ‘24 Compass was needing an oil change and a 4 wheel alignment done. Every part of this experience was handled with care and professionalism. The work was performed faster than I could have ever expected. Certainly won’t hesitate to come back for any service work I may require.

The Ford Fusion was a modest priced sedan, low maintenance, great mileage and the hybrids are so smooth compared to all the other brands. I've own 6 of them since 2010. When Ford stopped making the Fusion after 2020 and decided to give away their sedan line, the copy cat models of Hyundai and Toyota both increased sales in the 20% range. Gas, oil and little electricity for the plug-in and these near maintenance free cars just go and go. I've put as much as 165,000 on them without issue.

Great service, answered all my questions and was always available. No hidden fees! Made a deal!

Awesome car for my daughter-doesn’t feel big or small-it just happens to have lots of room and be easy to maneuver. Love it…feels like a safe car for a younger driver as well as a fam!

Friendly staff. Well organized dealership. Jodi L. worked hard to find a vehicle in my budget and fit my needs. I will be going back to this dealership for my future vehicle purchases. Thank you everyone at Matt Saxe Chevrolet Buick in Belle Plain, MN

The Ford Fusion SE FWD has proved itself to be a solid choice. It is reliable in stop-and-go traffic and is nimble enough to overtake other cars on highways. It is also quite comfortable, although the headrest is quite uncomfortably placed. The suspension absorbs most of the road's vibrations. When turned on at lower speeds, the motor can be louder than expected, but the transition between electric and ICE power is quite smooth. The design is aggressive, and it looks quite good. The car is also reliable, and parts aren't hard to find. The infotainment system, however, is not as sophisticated as expected, but not in a pleasant way. Overall, I would still recommend the car; it's practical, reliable, and nimble.

Our salesman Preston was extremely helpful and made the process of buying a new Chevy Trax very easy! He was also a pleasure to speak with as we had a lot in common. We had an equally pleasurable experience with the closer Dara (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly). The only criticism I have of this dealership is that they put a Harry Brown sticker on the back of the vehicle and it was EXTREMELY difficult to get off! It was actually 11 separate stickers. One for each letter. They shouldn’t be doing THAT at all! Putting that aside, I highly recommend this dealership!

I've had my 2016 Focus SE for 9 years this year & will drive it until one of us dies. I've never had a problem with it. It gets great gas mileage, is comfortable & roomy. I've hauled many things that others thought wouldn't fit but with the back seats folded down ...no problem. I would recommend a Focus to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle.

My favourite car ever. Great inside and out. The rear wiper is perfect as are the front wipers, although it's easy to accidentally activate them. You'll need to adjust your seat for a perfect fit, bit once you find it, it's great. The bank seat could use more legroom, but otherwise it's great.

Very good service every time I?ve been in. Will be in soon for an update service too. Thank you for getting me in fast. Thank you again.

We have owned three Ford E-350 15-passenger vans. We bought our first when we had 5 kids and now 20 years later are on our third one of these vans.

I Loved my 2019 Ford Escape! It was my third Escape, as I previously owned a 2005, and a 2011! Sadly, it was my last as FORD's new version of the Escape is AWFUL! I NEVER had one issue with my 2019, and I drove over 94,000 miles over the 6 1/2 Years that I owned it! However, the resale value SUCKS! I know it's just the game they play at the dealers, but it's an ugly game where the consumer always loses! But - it's only money,,, and you can't take it with you!

l live in central Iowa. l became familiar with Jake and company last spring thru a friend and visited their website. They had exactly what l was looking for and l made the purchase. l was extremely impressed with the price, their courtesy, and attention to detail. The Nissan Maxima l purchased had already been completely inspected and serviced. ln September l drove to Waseca and purchased a second car from them for my daughter. For me, based on my previous experience, it was worth the drive. Waseca County Auto Sales delivers on what they say. l give them 5 Stars and will not hesitate to visit them again.

My biggest peeve is the tailgate isn’t powered. Ordered the top of the line mr Model sight unseen because my dealership didn’t carry them. I wanted all the bells and whistles. Powered lift gate isn’t an option. It is painful to my injured spine to lift it and manually move the rear seats. The grandkids love the 3rd seat and I love the storage space behind it. I have made a Sam’s run for the month and able to pack everything behind the 3rd seat. The inside is great for human comfort but not for shopping or I should say storing packages. To be honest, my front seats are ALL THE WAY back. I have plenty of room and that’s a lot. I don’t like being close to the steering wheel in case of an accident. I wish the slots for charging my devices weren’t so close to the driver’s cup holder. It’s too easy for liquids to Spill in them. The only other item I wish was different is I miss a hard copy manual. There are options I still don’t know how to use. My GPS is not updated because of that. I like the van. My grandkids and dogs like it. Tomorrow I will get up, remove the two blankets I have protecting them floors and spend hours vacuuming the dog hair out the fabric on the back of the seats and floors. I have leather seats but there’s still Too much surface that holds onto my Husky’s and Belgian Shepherd’s ‘Glitter’. I do have to double check my doors are locked when I leave them in the car with the AC running. I have to use the remote because the double tap of the horn alert is deceiving. It doesn’t mean the door is locked. I do appreciate how easy it is to unlock the car without having the remote in my hand. All in all, it served the reasons I purchased it. I do wish I had paid the extra money for the Sprinter. But it would not have fit in my garage nor my budget.

This is the most reliable car I've ever had. Its powerful, full of gizmos, and plenty of room for the hole family. And belive me. I got a huge family

I purchased used '22 Escape SE AWD two years old, low mileage and delighted with my dealer purchase. Upon extensive research, I was aware the loss of market value, which is why I purchased used. This vehicle is produced in volume as 'low-end' entry among 22 field competitors. Yes, there are several vehicles out there higher rated, more expensive, but my research validated highest cargo storage - highest mpg, for the reasonable market price. You can benefit from this depreciation by buying used! Some complain of the transmission, or slow pickup, or passenger door side panels. I have had no issues after 20,000 miles 6/2024 and get 31.3 mpg combined which is stellar!! A great value for the used car price-not new price. I would recommend as a reasonable value, HIGH capacity SUV can accommodate 4 airport passengers full size luggage is my first Ford of 21 cars purchased. Styling is very attractive, good assortment of safety features. Rear seats slide for extended passenger or cargo capacity.

Set up a test ride for 7 pm on a weeknight and the team stayed late to wrap it up for me!

This is my 2nd Escape in 12 years. I drive for a living and I love feeling safe on the road. I've had no problems with this car. I personally have put over 400,000 miles on it in just 4 years. Take care of your car, and your car will take care of you.

very good. Had a nail in one of my tires and they fixed it no charge nice.

Bought used with 16k miles. 2 years later 52k miles. Only issue was transmission shutter. A fluid exchange service solved issues. Fluid was black. Strongly recommend transmission service every 39-50k miles. I get 32mpg on highway

I've been working with Cary and Jesse at Mankato Motors for several years now. There is zero pressure, and the staff advocate for the buyer. If you're not completely satisfied with the entire car buying process they will go above and beyond to ensure you are. It's a completely different car buying experience at Mankato motors!

I special ordered this car new while in Guam on military assignment. Had it shipped to hawaii where i drove it daily to work at the shipyard for 6 or 7 years. then, since i had need for a car at my sisters house in florida, i shipped it to CA and drove it to Ft Lauderdale where it stayed for another 6 years. In that time, I drove it back and forth across the country several times before finally shipping it back to Hawaii where it resumed its role as transportation to and from work and errands. In the entire time I have had it in 15 years, its not had single breakdown or mechanical issue. I am astounded at its reliability. Even the original battery lasted 11 years. the only small issue was i had a ignition key that was defective when it was new. Warranty covered it. but if it didn't, you can get that old type key for $15 online. then just recently, the little windshield washer pump quit. that was $35. Other than that, I have just done oil changes and tires. I did stop in a Ford Dealership in Utah when it was 12 years old just to inquire if i was supposed to do anything to it. they just said your supposed to change brake fluid every 10 years and I might as well change transmission fluid. So I did that. Note- I did recent research on other owners of this car or more specifically the 3.5 V6 Duratec engine which revealed a concern to be aware of. while its not happened to me and i see lots of owners with 300,000 miles or more on these cars, its said that the water pump design in the engine is behind the timing chain and when it goes out, coolant likely will seep into oil pan. If the owner is not alert to any oddities like engine temperature rising or strange noises and ignore this, and keep driving it with coolant in the oil pan, it could ruin engine. the thing is the water pump could go for 250,000 miles or longer or could go out in 80,000 miles. the water pumps are also difficult to change on this car. so its not like your just going to do it for preventative measures. Since this problem is hard to detect before its too late, i just am vigilant to always watch temp gauge on dash and be alert for any odd engine noises, etc, in case this ever happens to me. I also take a few seconds once a month to check oil on dipstick to see if any evidence of coolant getting into oil. From all I have read on these motors, they will last a long time if not for this issue. but you have to catch it early before it can cause damage to the engine. hopefully i will get several more years out of it before it starts needing repairs. I love cars like this one that don't break down. Driving wise, its like most of the other reviewers have stated. I wished the rear glass on the tailgate opened separately from tailgate so long boards and other such things from home depot could be put in the back without leaving entire tailgate open. Ambient road noise is not great either. the car itself doesn't rattle or squeak, even after all these years. but if your driving on concrete road or rough textured pavement, you are subjected to more road noise than I'd like. I am sort of measuring that by a tough standard. by comparison, its about as quiet inside as a Bmw 3 series or Jaguar x type wagon I have. But if I compare it to a Lincoln, the Lincoln is much more quiet and luxurious than any of those cars. But for me personally, I really like the quiet luxury ride of a Lincoln for which few cars can compare. I doubt many people will object to this but me. so i give the car a triple A rating but be aware of the water pump issue. might last you over 300,000 miles or more. but it might go out before that and you better catch it quickly before it damages the engine.

Good, easy to talk to and ask questions. They have your best interest at heart

Love this car. It is my first time owning an SUV and it is great. Meets all comfort & convenience requirements . Probably my most enjoyed is elevated seating provided by an SUV. Also enjoy heated seats now that I am older.

Cary, Ryan, and Justin were laid back and a pleasure to work with. The whole buying process was smooth and fast including airport transportation. I would buy from them again.

We love are car it is great to drive and has all kinds of power I drove 1300 miles in one setting and when I got home I wasn’t even tired but I’m a old trucker and have drove millions of miles and I wouldn’t take for are Ford Taurus Ford done a great job

Very good experience from start to finish. Sales, finance and vehicle set up and transition.

This truck is bulletproof. Good ride, good handling more than adequate power, on the noisy side. A great vehicle for work or general driving. Thumbs up

Great experience, Hunter was great. Very happy with my car and the service I got.

This truck is one of the best. I had a GMC before this and there is no comparison. I love this truck and will keep for long time.

Very dependable, Very useful, and Very Fun to own. This truck is at 206,000 miles and everything still works as the day I bought it. I could not express how much I love it. It has the 3.5 ecoboost twin turbo engine and the fx4 luxury package it eats dodges and craps on chevy. Please note that if you currently have the 3.5 Eco boost or 2.7 Eco boost to change oil every 3 to 4k due to the high temp your oil gets because you have turbos the 5.0 v8 doesn't have turbos btw
