Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Tampa, FL

I made an appointment for service (oil change & tire rotation) for 11:30 a.m. on a Tuesday, and because I cannot be away from my business for very long, I also arranged a shuttle to take me back to my office. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by both a service associate who verified my appointment and checked in my vehicle, and then escorted to my service adviser, Jeff. As Jeff was preparing my service order, I mentioned that I had arranged for the shuttle. He indicated that the shuttle was just loading and getting ready to leave, however, there was no car ahead of my Mustang and the service should take no more than 45 minutes. I chose to stay and wait, as it would have taken much longer to go and come back with the shuttle. I made myself comfortable in the waiting area, which was not very crowded, was clean and even had coffee and snacks available. I wasn't expecting my car to be ready so soon! 35 minutes after I sat down, checked my email and made a couple of phone calls, Jeff came back to tell me that my car was ready. As I was checking-out, I asked Jeff if they offered a car wash or detailing service. He mentioned the price of the detailing, but also stated that they give a free car wash with the oil change (OK, "The Works" package, which I received), however I should allow another 45 minutes. I'll do it next time. Short of not having to leave my office to have my car serviced, I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Ferman Ford's service, based upon this experience.

Always wanted a Jeep so entered the pool by buying a Patriot. Nothing fancy—I.e., basic radio controls—but my goals were utility, maneuverability, reliability and economy, and so far, after 3.5 years, all remains good. Biggest complaint? Interior is all black, which shows up all the dirt and dust a lazy person seems to attract.

Hi-- Hi live in Maryland, but found a nice used VW beetle at PJ's AutoWorld in Clearwater, FL. Given that I would have to either ship the car, or fly down to drive it home, I was pretty apprehensive about locking in a car sight unseen. I worked with John Gianfilippo, and he was VERY helpful. He took extra pictures of the car, walked me through all of the items that he thought were points against the car, and generally gave me a good idea of the car, both good and bad. So I put down a deposit, bought one way plane tickets for my daughter and I, and arranged to come down. He insisted in picking us up at the airport, even though it was out of the way for him. The car was as described, with one major change. The car had very low miles, and while the tread was fine, it had been sitting idle for a few years (common in Florida, BTW). John did something very admirable. He had the tires replaced, just to make sure that there wasn't dry-rot and the car would survive a 12 hour drive. he did not need to do this, but I was grateful-- and he did it on his own dime. I highly recommend this company.

I beg to differ about the mpg rating. I drive 45 miles one-way to work and my 2007 Jeep Patriot drinks just slightly more than 1/4 tank of gas during this trip. So basically, the 45 mile trip to work and then back home uses roughly 1/2 tank of gas. Nowhere quite as near the 30 mpg Hwy mileage that is stated on the specifications of this vehicle. Another drawback, is that the front driver and passenger seats are very uncomfortable when resting the seat back to lie down when parked and trying to rest. The headrest feels like your head is lying against a rock. Place a pillow behind your head when laying the seat down to rest. The year and make of this Jeep Patriot and probably the 2006 and 2008 Patriots have a known issue when the fuel tank is filled to capacity. Chrysler Jeep knows about this but refuses to initiate a recall notice for this problem. Not only is it annoying to not be able to pump gas hands-free using the lever trigger locking mechanism on the pump hose without it constantly triggering off, but what happens is when the fuel tank is being filled up and even topped off, a "vapor-lock" condition occurs which starves the fuel injectors at any given time right after the vehicle leaves the fuel station. When vapor-lock occurs, the engine will hesitate and sputter, eventually causing the engine to stall - even while driving down the road in rush-hour traffic. This not only is dangerous, but very scary and embarrassing to have your vehicle die in the middle of a busy road. Like I mentioned previously, Chrysler has not initiated a recall notice, most likely because after a few miles of driving, the gas-guzzling engine will have used up enough fuel to create a larger void of air within the confines of the fuel tank to eliminate the vapor-lock condition. The best fix action for this would be to not top off the fuel tank. Only fill the tank up to no more than 95% of the total capacity to allow some air space within the tank itself. Headlights remain on during the day and night while the vehicle is running. It's amazing that the headlight bulbs last as long as vehicles which do not have the daytime headlight function. Plenty of room for large items when the rear seats are folded down.

I came in just to"look" at what Subaru was offering. I was on my way to the Mitsubishi dealer where I THOUGHT I was buying a new vehicle😊. Tony came out and showed me models. What I loved most was his calm..very "unsalesman" personality. I didn't feel pressured. And drove out in a 2018 Forester!

I think this is a great vehicle. It's really nice looking, great on gas and it's AWESOME in the snow!! I would definitely but one!!

My service advisor Phil is always polite, conscientious and explains fully what my car needs and what was done on my car. I feel I can trust his expertise and advice.

This car has met all of our needs and have been a great car for a family of 4 in all Colorado seasons. Plenty of leg room in the front and rear with ample storage to move around town and get to the mountain for skiing and camping. This car has everything you could want, heated seats, bluetooth, temperature guage, auto dimming rear view mirror, 110v outlet inverter and roof rails to name a few. New larger all season tires were put on in December 2018 and have less that 5k miles on them.

Small but nice I like that it has low mileage and good on gas. Fully loaded. Ready to take a road trip.....thank you guys for all if your help

If you are looking for a good SUV to travel with, it is a comfortable, safe, efficient vehicle. Great on gas mileage and is good for a family (if you have one). Excellent vehicle to travel long places or commute.

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

Not the best vechial to have if driving more then 15,000 miles a year. Has cvt issues,at 60 thousand. Has excerallion issues. It is roomy, and I like the body style. But personally I wish I could get rid of the patriot.

Great vehicle. Handles very well in our snowy NH winters. Good gas mileage and power. A very good value! Required very little maintenance over the time I have owned it.

I highly recommend the service department at Toyota of Tampa Bay. Steve Canelejo is a great service manager who always makes sure our vehicles are running in tiptop shape!

This car is a great commuter vehicle and good on gas. It has room for 4 people comfortably or 5 if needed. The rear of the vehicle has plenty of open space for storage travel. The jeep is still clean, in good condition and has a like new set of tires on it.

Good afternoon. I have leased from Courtesy since 1995. I have leased 8/9 cars (lost track!). The last 5 I have had one salesman and I request him every time. His name is Hank Keller. He is not only superior at what he does but during the entire lease he is helpful should I have any problems. I have dealt with so many fantastic techs in the service department that I have lost track of them and lets not forget there is always turnover. Most recently, I give kudos to Kevin, Ghandi, Chad, Harold and many more. They know what they are doing, they are excellent at customer service and they are honest! My favorite cars are the Corolla, Cambry and the Prius. I went back to a Corolla this year. I had the Prius last year and I loved it. The only problem I had with it is that it was too low! I would hit every crub going in and out of driveways. Went back to a Corolla this lease. I have had 6 of them! I particularly loved the color....you call it Blue and I call it Gun Metal Gray. It dazzles and does have a hint of blue when you look at it in the sun. I have one problem with this Corolla......when you lock it from the inside, which I always do, the lock is "under" the door handle. Not good! Otherwise, I love Toyota, I love Courtesy and I love the employees! Thank you Courtesy for coming into my life!

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. This vehicle has great value. Great gas mileage , very comfortable , definitely not too big for city driving . Has great features add a very good price .

After purchasing our 2016 Ford Mustang from Jesus Van Der Henst for my husband, it was my turn! After checking several other dealers for a sedan I thought I might like, I decided to go back to Jesus & revisit the 2016 Ford Taurus he had me test drive the day before. He was right, this was my car & now IS my car! He was so helpful & patient with us prior to my decision to buy. I love having something that not many other people have & this fit the bill, right down to the color! Because of this being a full size vehicle, which I love, & a model that not too many others want because of the large size, I was sold. You buy a car because it appeals to you & having a personable Salesman, helps make the experience more exciting. Well, I have to say that coming in without knowing what I wanted & leaving with a car that I just LOVE tells me that Jesus made my time very enjoyable! He was such a sweet gentleman & very knowledgeable in answering all of our questions, as was our financial guide, Vincent Ippolito. I recommend Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel for a great selection of cars & wonderful service! Thanks for helping us purchase our "2" new cars, Jesus!!!

This car is super nice and in great shape with low miles. I love it so far. It rides easy and very comfortable. Love it.

Course now that I have seen a Jeep Sahara I want that. It is a beautiful vehicle that is very impressive. I mean I still have to pay off the Patriot but in 5 years it's either the Sahara or a Chevy Silvarado. I've had a Silvarado and love that truck so I won't know for 5 years and still have time to think about it.

Plenty of keg room,reliable car ,i love that i put the car on cruise and i can drive even when im tired its a plus

We came to look at a car fax truck 04 Ford and ended up in a 2010 f-150 couldn't be happier. Thanks to Preston we were able to negotiate a price that we could afford. We never felt under pressure and felt like he was working for us thanks. We will definitely send any of our friends there, and the barbecue was worth the trip. Gotta go Mr Maurice Paquin😎😎

Being a lifelong full size 4x4 owner I couldn't picture myself in this little SUV. The first time I drove the patriot my attitude began to change. This SUV is unbelievable on fuel, and impressed me with its 4x4 capability in heavy snow conditions of a Canadian Winter. I'm a big guy, and felt totally comfortable in the Patriots roomy interior. The Patriot isn't a Willy's Jeep, but if I go to town for supplies, and decide to come back on woods roads through knee deep snow it will bring me home.

We drove two hours from the East coast with our truck and travel trailer as trade, after working with the internet department, to purchase our new Traverse. I was blown away. Ferman has totally upset the car buying experience. When we set out to buy this car, based on previous car buying experiences at other dealers, I meant it when I said I'd rather have another root canal or prep for another colonoscopy than have to deal with a car dealer. They gave us a trade-in value on our truck and trailer before we came from photos and VIN numbers, and offered the price for the Traverse that was advertised on the internet. Even adding back the dealer prep fee, they sold the car for $1411 below invoice. We had done our research, and frankly, I had no information with which to argue the price. They also offered us $3500 more than our local dealer (where we did the traditional four hours with the salesman negotiating price - too long to tell what went wrong there, but we left very unhappy.) When we arrived for our appointment, Nate was waiting for us with the car. He was extraordinarily friendly and a pleasure to deal with. But my wife and I continued to wait for the catch. Are they going to say we don't qualify for one of their incentives? Are they going to argue that the inspection uncovered something with the trade-in? Were they going to sign us up for an usurious interest rate with their preferred lender? We remained skeptical until we were done with the finance officer (and got a lower interest rate than our own bank said was available!) We saved over $5000 from what our local dealer offered. I never thought I would say this about ANY car dealer, but not just recommended, but HIGHLY recommended! Ferman demonstrated what the car buying experience CAN be. The only thing Ferman retains from the traditional dealer industry that gives them a crooked reputation is the dealer prep fee. But as I said, I added that back to their price when comparing against invoice. This is really the only negative thing I could come up with. Oh yeah....the family LOVES the car.

Love my Jeep, takes a minute to pick up speed when taking off, and no backup assistance. But nice make and love the sunroof and look of it. My kids also love it.

Gheorghe was Excellent. He made my car shopping experience a breeze, not pushy at all and he did his best so I could get the deal that I wanted. If you are buying a Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep see Gheorghe at The Ferman Dealership in Lutz, Land O Lakes Wesley Chapel. He is the person to see.

This is our 2nd Jeep but first patriot and we are very impressed with the control and safety of this car we love the sports package we have and the over all look and feel of the car
