Ed Howard Lincoln

We recently purchased a 2013 Lincoln MKX from Ed Howard Lincoln. Jim Halas was the Lincoln Brand Champion (sales representative) who was very instrumental in our decision to purchase the car. We were Lincoln. Jim Halas was the Lincoln Brand Champion (sales representative) who was very instrumental in our decision to purchase the car. We were very pleased with the service we had received once before from Jim and were happy to work with him when we decided to purchase a new MKX. My husband test drove at least 5 other cross-over vehicles and I test-drove the Lincoln and the Cadillac SRX. I preferred the Lincoln MKX. When Jim first introduced the 2013 MKX to us he carefully explained the physical exterior differences between our 2010 Lincoln MKX and the 2013 MKX. It was refreshing to see Jim’s excited attitude about the new look of the 2013 MKX. When we got into the car and before we left the parking lot to test drive the car, Jim made sure we understood all the functions necessary for safety. He pointed out the upgrades and significant changes in the interior of the 2013 MKX from our 2010 MKX. He also patiently answered our questions while we were driving. When we returned to the dealership, Jim carefully explained the Navigation-Entertainment-Telephone system in the car and again answered all our questions. Jim knows the vehicle thoroughly and is able to clearly explain the workings of the vehicle to a non-techy person. He doesn’t need to bad mouth other cross-over vehicles in order to sell the Lincoln. He obviously believes in the quality of Lincoln vehicles and conveys his confidence in the company which is encouraging to a prospective buyer. Jim has a beautiful smile, engaging personality, and seems to have a genuine desire to do the most he can to satisfy his customer and his dealership and bring the two together in a happy relationship. We would certainly work with Jim again to buy another vehicle from Lincoln. We will also recommend Jim to our friends and acquaintances who may be ready to purchase a car. He is an asset to the dealership. More

We were ready to pay the listed price, $23,450 for a "Certified Pre-Owned" 2010 MKX listed on http:// EdHowardLincoln.net/. I found this car by doing a search on the site for "Certified Pre-Owned" bec "Certified Pre-Owned" 2010 MKX listed on http:// EdHowardLincoln.net/. I found this car by doing a search on the site for "Certified Pre-Owned" because I wanted to purchase a car that came with that type of guarantee and quality assurances. On the listing for this specific car, it states that the car is "Certified Pre-Owned," it has the logo for Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned, and it has a video explaining what Certified Pre-Owned means. When we called to inquire about the total cost including tax and dealer fees for this vehicle, we were told that the price for the car "Certified Pre-Owned" is actually $1,000 more than the price advertised on their web site. It was explained to me that the price listed is only if we take the care WITHOUT the certification, even the "Certified Pre-Owned" is mentioned on this specific vehicle's listing in THREE different places. There is no disclaimer on the web site explaining the discrepancy between the actual price and the listed price if you want to buy the car as advertised, "Certified Pre-Owned." Clearly fraudulent advertising. Even if the price was a mistake, it should have been honored. http://edhowardlincoln.net/Sarasota/For-Sale/Used/Lincoln/MKX/2010-FWD-4dr-Gray-Car/20249358/ More

My experience with Ed Howard Lincoln was nothing short of excellent. My salesman, Jim Halas, answered my questions, ALWAYS got back to me when he said he would, kept me well informed as to the delivery of my excellent. My salesman, Jim Halas, answered my questions, ALWAYS got back to me when he said he would, kept me well informed as to the delivery of my new car, and when he didn't have an answer to a questions-he said so and didn't make up something-instead he found out and got right back to me. The whole process was a pleasure. From Jim Halas to manager Mike Hillman to going through the final paperwork with Jim Roberson I would highly recommend to anyone considering the purchase of a Lincoln to this dealership. . . . and I love my new 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid !!

I was at Ed Howard for my regular mileage check, which was done in a timely way. I was on my way home when there was a large object on I-75 and I had a blowout. After AAA changed to my spare, I called Len was done in a timely way. I was on my way home when there was a large object on I-75 and I had a blowout. After AAA changed to my spare, I called Lenore in Service and she informed me that she had a tire in stock. I returned and they put on the new tire, checked my alignment and the underside of my car...all at a very reasonable price. I was planning on making a 600+ mile road trip in a few days (a woman driving alone). I talked to Lenore about it. She had checked all my tires and we decided that I would return and have two more new tires installed before my trip. I trust her and the whole dealership explicitly and will always have all my work done there. Their prices are competitive and they are very accommodating. More

Jim Halas was our salesman and he was extremely friendly and had a sound, in-depth knowledge of the new Lincoln MKZ and it's features. This was a new model with new technology and we had many questions tha and had a sound, in-depth knowledge of the new Lincoln MKZ and it's features. This was a new model with new technology and we had many questions that Jim handled easily. We first arrived at the Ed Howard dealership after leaving another local Lincoln dealership where we were very dissatisfied with the reception we received when we were inquiring about the new MKZ that was about to arrive on dealer lots. We had a lot of trouble with late delivery (ordered Nov 22nd, delivered April 15th), which was very frustrating to us, but that was the fault of the manufacturer and not the dealership. As it turned out we were compensated generously by Ford for this situation. On final closing at delivery we were treated very well by the financial manager Jim Robinson. He was very knowledgeable and helped us cut through a lot of problems that were happening in transferring of monies from our financial lender. We were having the car registered in Michigan but the financing was being done in Florida and Jim Robinson contacted our financial institution to iron out the wrinkles. He and the dealership allowed and arranged for us to take the car to Michigan for registration and then return the necessary paperwork by mail, so they could apply for funds from the lender. We were owed refund and incentives monies from Ford that they flowed through to us promptly by mail. Overall, a well coordinated effort. More

As I was recently in the market for a new car, I had visited multiple luxury car dealerships in the area. I have never thought about owning a Lincoln, but wanted to see what Lincoln had to offer. Our Sa visited multiple luxury car dealerships in the area. I have never thought about owning a Lincoln, but wanted to see what Lincoln had to offer. Our Sales Specialist was Jim Halas. He was not only very professional , but very knowledgeable about what he was selling as well as other competitive brands we were looking at. He also gave us comparisons for all the cars that we looked at and showed us how they stacked up against Lincoln. Jim's customer service is outstanding. Jim made out car buying experience very easy, and comfortable. He never once pressured us or tried to rush us out the door. I would highly recommend him and this dealership to our friends and family.
