Not only did I get an excellent used car in a fantastic color ( electric spice) I love but my sales team was so helpful. James Carpenter helped me to overcome my fear of the whole buying process. I went from holding my breath and anxious to confident and relaxed. I felt he really was concerned I got not only what I wanted but what I needed in a vehicle. Thanks for changing my mind about Ford and the whole process! More

Happy New Mustang Owner We purchased our 2015 Taurus form Gabus several years ago and have all three of our Ford Vehicles serviced at Gabus. We are very happy with the way we We purchased our 2015 Taurus form Gabus several years ago and have all three of our Ford Vehicles serviced at Gabus. We are very happy with the way we are treated every time we come through the door. It only made sense for us to choose Gabus Ford when we looked for a new Mustang. The purchase process went very fast, we found the Mustang we wanted on the lot at Noon, and drove it home by 5 PM. The fastest we have ever purchased a vehicle! Our Salesman was Stephen Sanders, our service technician is Marcus Neece. We have great faith in both employees and appreciate how they assisted us in this purchase. More
Do not give this company any of your information or time! I decided to check out this dealership as I have always been a fan of Ford Explorers and I am not a fan of the Dodge Journey that I had purchased some I decided to check out this dealership as I have always been a fan of Ford Explorers and I am not a fan of the Dodge Journey that I had purchased somewhere else (but at least the dealership I purchased the Journey from was up front and honest with me) I parked my car and walked the lot, finding a great number of nice looking vehicles with fair pricing, so I was optimistic about possibly getting into a new vehicle, but that is where the salesman showed up and my review becomes less positive. Started with the standard, what are you looking for, etc. etc. that you always expect from any dealer and I answered that I was looking at the Explorers for size/power/price etc. We looked at several as he asked me what "I could afford" to which I replied I was currently paying a little over $400 and would like to keep it around there, but really didn't need a vehicle so $500 was the absolute upper limit I was willing to pay. He said no problem at all and said it would for sure be under $480, so I said that would be great, but I was in a bit of a hurry that day so I would talk to my better half and get back to him. He said he just needed some basic information from me and it would take a just a few minutes and asked for my drivers license (which I gave him with the strict instruction NOT to run a credit report as I already knew my credit rating was around 750 and didn't want any hard inquiries on it until I had made a final decision. He agreed and insisted I fill out some paperwork because he could get me into the car in about 15 minutes (keep in mind for under $480) well he disappeared, and when he returned, he had a whole pile of paperwork just waiting for me to sign, and had even found me a great loan for right around $625 a month. I informed him that it was just a LOT over his promised maximum payment amount and also found out that not only did he have the credit report run that he was told specifically not to do yet, but had checked with 5 banks to find that loan. But it doesn't end there...after telling him that his ridiculous numbers were not agreeable to me and leaving the dealership (after over an hour of wasting my time), I received phone calls and even at least 2 letters in the mail saying they found an even better rate (if I was willing to pay more money down they could drop the payment to under $600) Overall, after telling them NOT to run my credit, and wasting all this time for a bogus price quote, I ended up with 10 hard inquiries on my credit report that I have to wait for 2 years or so to drop off. Charles Gabus Ford is a joke. More

Steve Sanders is the Man! Let me start by saying that the process of buying a car is up there with, going to the dentist, doing your taxes, or preparing funeral arrangements bu Let me start by saying that the process of buying a car is up there with, going to the dentist, doing your taxes, or preparing funeral arrangements but that isn't the case with Steve Sanders at Charles Gabus Ford in Des Moines, IA. I found a car that I liked online on Easter morning and submitted an email to the dealership to see if it was available. Steve contacted me to let me know the car was available and that I could come out and take a look the following day. Steve was straightforward and immediately I felt a trust built with him as he showed me the vehicle. I shopped around quite a bit that day and ended up coming back to Steve because the price and service couldn't be beat. After the papers were signed, Steve went as far as steam cleaning the carpets himself as the detail shop team had already left for the day. Amazing service that went above and beyond my expectations. I'm definitely going back to Steve for my next car. More
