What a fantastic experience I had at Elder Ford. I was shopping for a new car and Elder And their team made my decision an easy one. Mike Gizzi is an excellent salesman. He took the time to listen and shopping for a new car and Elder And their team made my decision an easy one. Mike Gizzi is an excellent salesman. He took the time to listen and learn what was important to me in a new car and then he helped me look at and drive a number of them. Once I found the one I wanted, he and Damian, his sales manager, negotiated a deal that I felt was a good one and they made it easy to close. Michelle Francis did a great job of finding a financing option that worked and helped me choose a service plan that was affordable. My hats are off to the entire Elder Ford team. You made it a pleasure to buy my new Ford. I will tell all of my friends and family that they should think of Elder when they are shopping. Thank you! Lee Bonta More

Everyone at this dealership was so friendly and helpful. The quality of service we received was excellent. We were very pleased with the offer we received. Our credit was not perfect but Maurice was able to The quality of service we received was excellent. We were very pleased with the offer we received. Our credit was not perfect but Maurice was able to give us a much better deal than other dealerships we had visited. They were very patient and there were no high pressure "sales tactics" used. Unlike previous car buying experiences it was actually comfortable and pleasant. I would recommend visiting Elder Ford before you make a final decision. More

Not everything that happens at a car dealership is what it seems, or goes as plan. If you are anything like me you are wary of “used car salesmen” in the first place. I made contact with Ed Michaels at Eld it seems, or goes as plan. If you are anything like me you are wary of “used car salesmen” in the first place. I made contact with Ed Michaels at Elder Ford to look at a 2010 Ford extended van that I had seen in the truck trader. Ed told me that the van was still available and for me to come in. To make a long story short, when I arrived to view the van I found that the van had been sold without Ed’s knowledge earlier that day. Of course I was already cautious before I arrived, so I automatically thought that I had been duped into driving up to Tampa to be sold a different vehicle. I drove away very upset, and I made that known to Ed in an email the next day. I told him that I drove a 126 mile round trip for nothing, and I said some not-so-nice things, lumping Ed Michaels in with what I felt about used car salesmen. At any rate, Ed isn’t your average salesman. He indeed has a heart, and he was genuinely sorry for the event and made it up to me by sending me a $50 gas card for my trouble. I said all that to say this. If you are reading this review to help make a decision whether or not to shop at Elder Ford, I suggest you look Ed Michaels up, because with him you are going to get a real person who really does care about your needs.

I was able to drive them and compare with other dealerships. Rob worked tirelessly to get me the best finance deal available, and the staff was very accomodating. As a veteran, I was looking around and saw all the events Elder had sponsored and knew I was in the right place. Great service, Great people and a great atmosphere.

By far the best used car experience I've had in over 25 years of buying vehicles including using dealers, brokers, auctions, and private party sales. After researching Autotrader and CarMax, Elder Ford's p years of buying vehicles including using dealers, brokers, auctions, and private party sales. After researching Autotrader and CarMax, Elder Ford's price points were the best around on a variety of low mile, newer used vehicles. That brought me in to this dealer, and I was not disappointed. The Pre-Owned Manager Tommy Difilippo was honest and straightforward and his prices beat the best in a 100 mile radius. AND he gave me the best trade value I have ever received from a dealer. Not the usual low ball, but an actual fair estimate of vehicle worth. All salesmen were professional. What we saw was what we got. A good selection of great priced used vehicles, low miles, 1-3 years, with no surprise issues. As a career military officer, I recommend this dealer to ANY serviceman, or their spouse, to purchase a quality vehicle within their budget in an honest, friendly environment. More

This dealership sold me a Ford F150 2005 That was unsafe. When we went to look at the car the brake light was on we asked for them to fix the reason the light was on. They said they went through everything o When we went to look at the car the brake light was on we asked for them to fix the reason the light was on. They said they went through everything on the truck and the light was on bc of a cluster problem. They said that they would replace it for us. When we brought the car home we noticed it had problems braking. There were no pads left the rotors were heavily scored, it was metal to metal. It could have killed us in the rain on the way home!!! That was the reason the brake light was on not the cluster. Everyone we spoke to at this dealership especially Joe Moon the salesperson was a liar! I would never recomend buying a car from these people! More
