I went to this dealership on a day after work. I was ready to purchase a car but planned on visiting other dealerships first. This was my 2nd Ford dealer and I didn't see the car with the options I want ready to purchase a car but planned on visiting other dealerships first. This was my 2nd Ford dealer and I didn't see the car with the options I wanted. I ended up talking to Ricardo. He was friendly but not fake like most salesmen. I spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour there. The color car I wanted with the options was not there but was on the train headed to Tampa. I was pre-qualified before I went in but filled out an app for Ford motor credit to check their rate because of the extra rebate if I went with them. I left the dealership and told Ricardo to give me a call with the rate. The car wasn't there yet anyway and I hate sitting around the dealership. Ricardo called within 30 minutes and told me an interest rates thru Ford credit that was incredible. My credit wasn't that great because I had foreclosed on a house a while back and I didn't expect what they gave me. I signed the papers the next day and then waited for my car to arrive. I would text back and forth with Ricardo about my cars arrival. He was so much fun to work with and not at all what I experienced in the past with other salesmen. The lady I dealt with in financing when I signed everything was also great. I am an experienced female car buyer. I understand the ends and outs of buying a car. I see BS and I received none of that here. This was the best car buying experience I have ever received. I can't review all their salesman but I can tell you that Ricardo Liburd was the BOMB. Every person should have a car buying experience like that. More

The overall experience was excellent and Jeff and the Sales Managers were great to work with in purchasing this vehicle. My only negative comment that the meeting with the administration TOOK TOO LONG Sales Managers were great to work with in purchasing this vehicle. My only negative comment that the meeting with the administration TOOK TOO LONG over an hour and half. The administration was courteous in their dealing but it quite a while to get me on my way. More
I'm 65 years old and I have purchased over 20 new cars over the past 45 years, models ranging from a new BMW 7 Series to a Mazda 3. After making this purchase I commented to my wife that this was a p cars over the past 45 years, models ranging from a new BMW 7 Series to a Mazda 3. After making this purchase I commented to my wife that this was a pleasant experience. The selection was the best in the Tampa area, internet search, the e mail exchange before coming to the dealership was pleasant no high pressure or multiple emails a day from everyone at the dealership. No high pressure phone calls, just straight forward questions on my part and answers from Jake. The toughest decision was deciding on which auto to buy. There was no question that a car was going to be purchased that day. My plans had been to check out two dealerships, as it turns out I didn't feel the need to do so after meeting Jake and looking over his inventory. The finance experience was also quick, easy and pleasant. The interest rate Toni found for us was much better than we expected. The dealership was bright, clean and had a welcoming feel. I wish it were closer to my home in South Tampa. I had a trade in and was somewhat disappointed in the trade in value offered. I already had received a cash buy offer from CarMax which was 500.00 more the trade offered. I wound up selling for more either offer. More

As this was my first car purchase, I was nervous and had fearful expectations. Mr. Tim Meister had contacted me based on my online request and I was pleasantly surprised at his professionalism.

His patience and knowledge of the car I was looking for helped make my decision easier. Although I had done my research, he provided further insight and was quite helpful with clarifying any questions i had. Due to Mr. Meister's ability to calm my fears and make my car shopping experience a pleasant,I would purchase from Brandon Ford again. More

I was in talks with many Ford dealerships around Tampa Bay via email. I then began to visit each dealership to see what they had to offer. I was in the market for a 2014 F150 and knew what package I wante Bay via email. I then began to visit each dealership to see what they had to offer. I was in the market for a 2014 F150 and knew what package I wanted. I was just still on the fence on the color I wanted. I was pre-financed and knew what reasonable value my trade was worth. Brandon Ford via emails from JC Clements, had probably one of the best offers that I received. I was just struggling on getting replies on what colors they actual had on the lot. I was able to meet up with JC when he finally answered my call (left messages never called back). JC showed me a gray F150 with the package I wanted, the only catch, it was one of the colors I eliminated. JC did not seem too interested in showing me anything else, i.e. selling me on anything else and also stated that the price would go up if he had to get it from another dealership ( in past experience, other dealerships were more than happy to provide that level customer service without additional cost to the customer). Next, we decided to see what he would offer for my trade. JC was $1000.00 less then what I was already offered and $1800.00 less then what I actually received from another Bay area dealership. JC then gave me a price that was his bottom line price, no wiggle room whatsoever. WOW... not even close!!!! JC did not even want to negotiate and could really care less if I bought a car from him. My wife and I were serious on purchasing a truck that day, we had our draft from our bank and all the documents we needed to close the deal. Long story a little short, JC told me at least 3 times that he had 21 years in selling cars but was probably the worst salesmen I ever attempted to do business with. Brandon Ford states that they won't be undersold and give the best trade value. They were the highest in price and offered the worst trade in amount in Tampa Bay. I ended up saving $3,000 in total at Elder Ford and they had the color I wanted on the lot the next day at no additional charge to me. I even got bedliner put in for free so the truck was therefore better then the truck that was basically pushed on me at Brandon Ford. I will never go back and if they don't believe it, I will show them the invoice. Don't waste your money or time and do your homework, it obviously pays off. More
Jeff was wonderful! He took his time to answer all the questions that we had. He was very friendly, polite, and through.
