Essential Ford of Stuart

BUYER BEWARE! These Are Unscrupulous Thieves. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! My naive wife took her paid for 2008 Focus to this dealership for an oil change. The car had very low miles but they convinced h AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! My naive wife took her paid for 2008 Focus to this dealership for an oil change. The car had very low miles but they convinced her it at all kinds of problems. They shuttled her into the showroom and got her into a brand-new Ford Explorer. She is from a foreign country and has no income, but they used a bogus credit application with my estimated income which was completely unverified. She was denied by several finance companies, but they squeezed her application through. They gave her 1/2 of the Blue Book value on the trade-in, charged her full price plus all kinds of dealer fees and service contracts, and locked her in at 13% interest. Now she has a $700 a month car payment for 72 months and with no job has no way to pay for this. THEY TOTALLY RIPPED HER OFF! The General Manager/Owner John Hall could care less and said "too bad."

Liars Sales Person told me I could leave my old car there for a couple of days as getting both old and new car home that day would be difficult. Then they t Sales Person told me I could leave my old car there for a couple of days as getting both old and new car home that day would be difficult. Then they towed it. I had to go back and forth with them for over a month for them to finally say no they would not get my car back. More

I spoke to the internet dept and was told to see this salesman, I went there and spoke to him but he didnt know the functions or the answers to my questions. He kept telling me "Yes" its a good car bla b salesman, I went there and spoke to him but he didnt know the functions or the answers to my questions. He kept telling me "Yes" its a good car bla bla bla. OK a child could tell me this, I didnt expect a salesman to tell me this. He must have told me 3-4 times when you come back you are to only see me as if I was his property and that turned me off. I would not go back there, not at all. I purchased my car from Sunrise Ford. Much friendlier and more informative. More

I called this dealership to ask about a certain color and package on a new F150..I worked with the whom I thought was the salesperson but apparently it was the internet manager. I was told the truck I was lo package on a new F150..I worked with the whom I thought was the salesperson but apparently it was the internet manager. I was told the truck I was looking for was actually on their lot. So I drove 55 miles to see it. I got to the dealership and was switched to now a salesperson that knew nothing of the days I had worked with the internet manager and the internet manager took off and was no where to be found. I was told by the salesperson that he gets paid to get you in the door and will basically lie to you ( which I thought was weird that a fellow employee would say that about another employee) but needless to say the truck was not there. He did locate the vehicle we wanted and it was in another state. Thankfully he walked away from the desk and left the paper on the desk and I looked at it and found where the truck was at. I did give them the opportunity to sell me the car but they wanted to make 10k on me so I left. The next day , I called the dealership where the truck was at and 2 days later I drove 12 hours to NC to buy the truck. Thank you Advantage Ford for locating it for me , but the lies and the deceit kept me from buying from you. You better start listening to your reviews if you want to sell cars. With internet these days, people won't buy from one that has such bad reviews. Better luck next time! More

I went in and had some idea what I wanted to buy but not really sure what I could. Husain from Advantage Ford in Stuart was so helpful and down to earth I actually got more than I thought was going to get f really sure what I could. Husain from Advantage Ford in Stuart was so helpful and down to earth I actually got more than I thought was going to get for a fair price. I had a great experience buying my car. I then dealt with Melissa at the service department because I missed an appointment for a free thirty day check up and they took me in the next day with no problem. I feel so good about my purchase and I'm very happy with Advantage Ford and my salesman Husain. I highly recommend them. More

We were told it would be here in 4-5 days, then another week, then ANOTHER week. First they know were the car is then they don't. All we keep getting is the run around and now they are saying we are costing them money because they are paying for our rental car. Well get me my car!! Lots of calls with very few returned calls. I DO NOT recommend Stuart Ford Advantage!!! Apparently Rodney no longer works for them for making bad deals yet they won't help make this right More

I found a truck on the internet, checked to see if it was still there , filled out credit app. drove 30 min. to get there, test drove the truck, went inside to sign the papers to buy and it was then they tol still there , filled out credit app. drove 30 min. to get there, test drove the truck, went inside to sign the papers to buy and it was then they told me the price was wrong. it was $4266. more. They said someone hacked into their site and changed that price. What a CROCK. That was the price all day and is still on the internet at that price. They use this to get people in and switch prices in hopes that they are stupid enough to buy it anyway. I got up and walked out and I will be sure to tell everyone I can about what rip off artists they are. More
