Elder Ford of Tampa

They were very difficult to deal with in getting a fair value for my trades. I did an Internet search for an F-250 with the options I wanted, and Elder Ford came up with one in inventory. Originally I was looking for an XLT, but went with the Lariat that came up in the search. I called and talked to Geoff Patterson and explained my situation. I sent pics, VIN's, and payoff info for the trades. In a few hours Geoff got back with us offering us more money for my trades. We did the credit app and financing over the phone, and received a rate quote and payment options. It all took less than 5-6 hours via phone and emails. The very next day we picked the truck up and was assisted by Ken Lee with the paperwork, and couldn't be happier. It was well worth the 81 mile drive to Tampa. Unfortunately I had a service issue with the truck and took it back for repairs. In no way are/were they responsible for the issue but are bending over backwards to take care of it. This dealership is the best I have ever dealt with in the 23 years that I have been purchasing vehicles. More

Flawless Ed Michaels at Elder Ford was great, by far the easiest truck buying experience I have ever had. Both Ed and Kenny (Sales Manager) and Ken Huckabee w Ed Michaels at Elder Ford was great, by far the easiest truck buying experience I have ever had. Both Ed and Kenny (Sales Manager) and Ken Huckabee were up front, honest and trust worthy. I drove from Orlando to Tampa because of that. From the first phone call to the last hand shake everything was professional. I would recommend Ed Michaels at Elder Ford any day of the week and plan on purchasing future vehicles from them! More

Mustang GT Purchase We had stopped at another dealer prior to Elder Ford & needless to say the other dealer wasn't helpful or knowledgeable in any way. After being disapp We had stopped at another dealer prior to Elder Ford & needless to say the other dealer wasn't helpful or knowledgeable in any way. After being disappointed by the first place we were pleasantly surprised by the experience at Elder Ford. Their facility is state of the art inside & out. They had over 40 - 2015 Mustang's in stock between their ecoboost, GT, Roush, etc... (the first dealer had 6). Even though they didn't have the exact color GT we were wanting they tried to locate it for us. Eric was very knowledgeable about the Mustang GT's & informed us all they had to offer. Even though they couldn't find the exact color GT we were originally wanting we purchased the one we test drove. Eric is willing to go the extra mile to accommodate the customer. Nacer was great in financing. He was very knowledgeable about the different options for warranties, etc. We are extremely pleased with our experience at Elder Ford! We will definitely be a return customer should the need arise. More

We met with Bill Geiger and he assist us with the purchase from start to finish. We advised him who we were purchasing the car for and he included her in the purchase process to make her feel welcome and comfortable. I greatly apprciated his concern for her feelings during this process. I am very glad she was able to have a positive experience because she has overheard us talking about some absolute nightmare experiences with other dealers. I would highly recommend Elder Ford and Bill Geiger to anyone wishing to purchase a vehicle without all the normal headaches of purchasing a car. Bill was not the only staff were had the opportunity to deal with. Every staff member we contacted had an exemplary attitude and was very kind. I really appreciate everything all of the Elder Ford staff did for my family. Orlando had plenty of Ford dealers to choose from and my neighbor is a general manager at one of them but we picked Elder Ford instead. Thanks you again Gary W of Orlando Florida. More

Great Deal and Amazing Staff Jeff Godsell and the rest of the staff at Elder Ford turned what had been a stressful day for my wife into a great experience. She had been in an acci Jeff Godsell and the rest of the staff at Elder Ford turned what had been a stressful day for my wife into a great experience. She had been in an accident earlier in the week and her car was a total loss. My wife was not only dreading searching for a replacement but dealing with car dealerships while we looked. The staff at Elder Ford was not only able find her a vehicle she liked but one that met all our needs. I am glad we stopped there before running all over town looking for a car. Also the Service Department is always top notch. They will definitely be getting my business in the future. More
