I purchased my 2003 Ford Exployer Sport from Sunset Ford back in 2002 - still have its a great SUV, but its was getting up there in mileage...160,xxxxx! Janie was very understanding of my hesitation to take the leap and purchase a new vehicle - she was very patient with me and she knew I had a set payment in mind. She also could sense that I wanted a really nice new vehicle. I felt that Janie was a great of help in achieving that payment goal; she was able to fully answer all of my many questions and she was diligent in searching for an answer if she did not know. I was very comfortable in my dealings with Janie. Larry Sidberry was also very patient and understanding and I believe he did his very best in achieving my goal as well. Both Janie and Larry were very professional yet personable when communicating to me. I really feel like I received a great price on the Taurus and was very please with the outcome. More

When we went to look at Sunset Ford we had a comfortable feeling that encouraged us to go back for the purchase. Each dealer employee we worked with was informative and listened to what we needed. We looked at new and used vehicles without any pressure. All features of the vehicle we choose were demonstrated and explained. Our sales person was familiar with the vehicle. (We experienced some that used their cell phone to answer questions.) From start to finish, our visit was a pleasant one and a new relationship was created. More

Fair and Friendly I've leased four Ford "Escape" models from Sunset Ford over the last 12 years. The last lease was handled by my salesman, Mr. Larry Burchardt. This I've leased four Ford "Escape" models from Sunset Ford over the last 12 years. The last lease was handled by my salesman, Mr. Larry Burchardt. This year, I decided to change the pace and buy a new hybrid, Ford C-Max. Once again, Larry guided me through the decision-making process and patiently drove with me while testing the latest "Escape", "Fusion" and "C-max" models. Larry is a seasoned veteran who has kept pace with all the latest Ford technology & engineering and has a great knack for explaining how things work, and how to operate that technology in the latest Ford vehicles. And since I'm a hybrid "newbie", those talents were important to me. Larry Burchardt introduced me to new product, and Mr. Larry Sidberry helped to iron out the termination of my last lease and the purchase price of my new C-Max. Joe Brooks, who manages accessory additions, guided me through many of the after-market features that Sunset Ford can install to enhance your new car. (I chose custom floor mats). Last but not least, the financing and final paperwork (which can be a tiresome, tedious process) was efficiently handled by Mr. Chris Caldwell. For twelve years I've been treated fairly and courteously during every transaction. This was my fifth deal with Sunset Ford and it won't be my last. More

Great Service, Great People, Great Experience Purchasing your first car can be quite the experience (either good or bad). Purchasing my first SUV from Sunset Ford was the best decision I ever mad Purchasing your first car can be quite the experience (either good or bad). Purchasing my first SUV from Sunset Ford was the best decision I ever made. Not only was the service fantastic, but also the people as well. Steve sold me a car I never dreamed of owning. He was thoughtful, considerate, and friendly. He helped me, along with Larry, to get the best deal possible. When it comes time to purchase a new car again, I will be sure to go back to Sunset Ford!

We drove away in her new car in a surprisingly short amount of time. We even had another car serviced while we completed this transaction. We have purchased many cars from Sunset Ford and always had an enjoyable experience. Brian More

I was greeted immediately upon entering the showroom by Larry who introduced me to Tim and we proceeded with my sales deal. I had a trade-in vehicle that was promptly assessed and given a trade-in value a Larry who introduced me to Tim and we proceeded with my sales deal. I had a trade-in vehicle that was promptly assessed and given a trade-in value as part of the deal. We negotiated an acceptable purchase price and proceeded with the purchase. They also provided me with a no questions asked test drive by myself, not only twice but an extended second drive to show my wife the car and let her drive it as well. There was no hard sell tactics and everyone was very professional and courteous during the entire sales process. I am very pleased with my car purchase and will whole-heartedly recommend sunset Ford to anyone looking for a new (or used) Ford. Terry Burns More

I was very pleased with my salesperson and my overall experience with sunset ford. Tim took the time to explain the different features between the models, I told him that I just had to have the car in s experience with sunset ford. Tim took the time to explain the different features between the models, I told him that I just had to have the car in silver and that same night he called back saying he located one and that it would be there Saturday morning for me. He even followed me home to bring the car to me since I am a widower. He breaks the stereotype of the pushy car sales person that is only there to line theirs and the dealers pockets, he made this grandma feel very comfortable in the purchase process and even worked with the finance office to save me a trip to my bank for the loan. I've told numerous friends and my family that if they buy a ford to see the most respectful and patient salesman I've ever dealt with. Thanks again. More

Time was great with answering questions and speaking on the phone. I live almost 3 hours away and was able to negotiate over the phone before driving 3 hours to the dealership. The drive was well worth it. the phone. I live almost 3 hours away and was able to negotiate over the phone before driving 3 hours to the dealership. The drive was well worth it. Every sales professional at Sunset Ford in St. Louis was polite, respectful, and definitely gets a 10/10 from me. No one made me feel inferior or uncomfortable. I will recommend this dealership to all those looking to buy a Ford vehicle. Chris Caldwell is an awesome finance manager as well. Sunset Ford was by far the best experience I've ever had when buying a vehicle. More
