We've bought from Pat before, and will continue to buy from him as long as he's around. I've never really enjoyed buying a car, what with all the games dealers used to play. But I really appreciate Pat's from him as long as he's around. I've never really enjoyed buying a car, what with all the games dealers used to play. But I really appreciate Pat's straight forward approach - no games, just tells it like it is. I think it took us all of about 10 minutes to reach a deal. Plus, Pat's just a plain nice guy, enjoyable to talk to. More
This was the first car I have attempted to buy with financing, and after the horror stories I have heard about buying a car through a dealership, I was pleasantly suprised at the ease and comfort of th financing, and after the horror stories I have heard about buying a car through a dealership, I was pleasantly suprised at the ease and comfort of the experance we had. We first looked at a 2010 Chevy Impala, and requested information about it online. When we went to go look at it, we had already done the research and had determined how much we were able to spend. I was prepared to argue our salesperson on what we could afford. Instead, he was prepared with options within our price range, and asked us questions as to what types of cars we would be comfortable looking at. He was polite, friendly and most importantly he was sincere. Although we did not buy the 2010 Chevy Impala, due to his help in offering alternatives, we were able to buy a car I had been wanting for many years, but did not think I would be able to afford. The vehicle itself was in outstanding condition, and after researching it on Kelly Blue Book, I found that it was reasonably priced and I was happy with the price at which we paid. It also fit into the budget we had already set. After choosing the vehicle we were notified within an hour and a half that I was approved. When I went to sign the papers, our sales person took the time to greet us, although he was busy with another guest. The finance manager who assisted me with signing the papers was polite, and encouraged me to ask any questions I could think of. I had also brought along my nine year old son, and he took the time to talk to him about his favorite subject, Star Wars. The gentleman who took us to the vehicle was friendly and very helpful. He also offered to take a picture of me and my son with our new car, which thrilled my son. After I brought our car home, I still received emails thanking me and giving best wishes with the car. My overall experiance was one of mutual respect and gratitude. I have already been spreading the word about the wonderful experiance we had, and will not buy a vehicle from anyone else from now on.

Very satisfied with the selection of Ford Escapes on the lot. We felt were treated fairly and my Escape is what I was shopping for. I do wish I lived closer, we are 2 hours away.

We purchased our new Taurus through USAA and Gabus Ford was the dealer we selected. Their responsiveness could not have been better. Noah Wolter responded quickly as USAA said they would and was extremely was the dealer we selected. Their responsiveness could not have been better. Noah Wolter responded quickly as USAA said they would and was extremely helpful throughout the purchase process. Even though we had only corresponded via phone and email, Noah was extremely courteous when we picked up the car in Des Moines. He was very helpful in setting up our MySync account and explaining many of its and the car's features. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we do truly enjoy our new Ford Taurus. I grew up in a family that was partial to Ford products and have owned a few myself. I even worked for Ford at two different times. Since 1984, I have been an owner of Honda vehicles, but I am glad that we have returned to ownership of the American built Ford Taurus! More
