BEWARE SENIORS, DISABLED, WHO NEED TO PURCHASE A USED CAR IF YOU ARE A BUYER LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT USED CAR OR A SENIOR OR DISABLED OR HAVE ANY DOUBT WHEN BUYING FROM THIS DEALER, BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWIN IF YOU ARE A BUYER LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT USED CAR OR A SENIOR OR DISABLED OR HAVE ANY DOUBT WHEN BUYING FROM THIS DEALER, BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING CONTENT FROM CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE FLORIDA DIVISION OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THIS MATTER IS NOT OVER AND MY INTENT IS TELL ALL OF BREVARD COUNTY ABOUT HOW I WAS "RIPPED OFF", LIED TO , DECEIVED & SOLD A MECHANICAL UNSAFE EXPENSIVE USED CAR. THEY TOOK ALL MY SOCIAL SECURITY CASH INCLUDING A HIGH PERFORMANCE MUSTANG LURING ME INTO THEIR DEARLERSHIP WITH THEIR SALESMAN (NO LONGER THERE) WHO APPROACHED ME AT A GAS STATION OFFERING TO GIVE ME THE MONEY I WAS ASKING FOR MY MUSTANG. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS COMPANY USING THIS TYPE OF SALES PRACTICE IS MORE INTERESTED IN LINING THEIR POCKETS THEN TRULY SELLING A RELIABLE PRODUCT IN ORDER TO HELP THEIR BUYERS MOVE INTO A CAR THAT WOULD BE DEPENDABLE FOR WHATEVER USE IT WAS BOUGHT FOR. I WAS ALSO ADVISED BY A CONSUMER AFFAIRS ATTORNEY I CONSULTED THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME A CONSUMER WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I BELIEVE IT WILL NOT THE LAST EITHER. Forward is a partial statement of "content" during my reply email dated June 6, 2014 To: State of Florida, Division of Consumer Services, File 1405-19955/HF "I understand that mediation attempts were unsuccessful concerning my complaint and allegations against the auto dealership known as Kelly Ford located in Melbourne, Florida. I believe they have violated my rights as a Florida consumer according to Florida Statutes Chapter 501, Part II, Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practice, F.S. 501.201-501.213; and that I was falsely mislead during an expensive used car CASH purchase and trade and warranty purchase by certain employees of this company who knowingly knew the circumstances surrounding my two purchases and two trades; that I was depending on their advice that I was buying a car that I could drive across country with some of my belongings to be by family as my disablity worsens. I can not do this with the car I now own that Kelly Ford put me in falsely misleading me that buying this car would meet my needs including selling me a repair warranty that will not fix any of the engine problems I have with oil leaking, etc. I have consulted a consumer affairs attorney in Brevard County, Florida and understand that Kelly Ford's reputation is not in good standing and advise that I am pursuing my complaints against this company to alert the public." I FURTHER STATE THAT I FEEL KELLY FORD DOES NOT HAVE OR CARE ABOUT YOUR INTEREST IN BEING A VALUED CUSTOMER AND IF YOU ARE A DISABLED SENIOR SPENDING CASH YOU MAY BE OVER PAYING AND BUYING A CAR WITH MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES WHILE BEING TOLD BY THEIR SALES TEAM WHAT A GREAT DEAL YOU ARE GETTING. It is my intent to continue to make public the wrong that they have done to me in detail toying with my mind and my cash money leaving me with a car that would be considered a "lemon" if sold new of Florida State Law. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY WHEN BUYING YOUR NEXT USED CAR! IF YOU ARE NOT A EXPERIENCED CAR BUYER TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU! Sincerely, S. Roman, a Brevard County, Florida resident and consumer for the past 45 years. More

Escape Sheriff was the salesperson. When we went in to do paperwork, it was not a done deal though. I was not happy or comfortable with the 10% intrest ra Sheriff was the salesperson. When we went in to do paperwork, it was not a done deal though. I was not happy or comfortable with the 10% intrest rate. John Kirby helped me out with that though. We decided to have my mom Co sign. He was very patient with us. He made me feel very comfortable with buying the car. I would definitely recommend him to Anyone. More

New F150 King Ranch at a fair price including great trade I had a price in mind that I was willing to pay for a new F150 King Ranch and a price that I was willing to take for my older vehicle. Kelly Ford met I had a price in mind that I was willing to pay for a new F150 King Ranch and a price that I was willing to take for my older vehicle. Kelly Ford met both of my prices and worked well with me to get there. I did not feel like they were playing games with me either. They were super busy that day and I ended having to wait for the delivery of my truck (detailing, etc.) and the entire team was very apologetic. They truly went out of their way to make me feel like a valued customer. I will go back to Kelly Ford. More

Great Purchasing Experience with the Kelly Sales Team! My experience in buying our 2003 Ford F150 FX4X4 was exceptional.

I made my initial contact with Phil "Doc" Pettus using Kelly Ford's online site. The site was easy to navigate. Phil as well as all the sales staff I encountered were friendly, helpful, professional and very comfortable to work with. They were willing to negotiate very fairly with me and listen earnestly to my needs and budget. They gave me very fair trade in value for my older model Ford truck. My newly purchased 2003 Ford F150 FX4X4 is in almost new condition. Just an awesome vehicle! I am completely satisfied! I would most certainly recommend Kelly Ford to anyone looking for a fair deal.

James "Sheriff" took time went extra mile Purchase used vehicle 2005 Audi convertible. When I first came in James Witherspoon helped me and showed me a vehicle I wasn't looking for or consider Purchase used vehicle 2005 Audi convertible. When I first came in James Witherspoon helped me and showed me a vehicle I wasn't looking for or considering but I fell in love with it and bought it. The only thing I didn't like was I willing to wait for the test drive because James had a customer issue come up. However the dealership assigned me another associate. He was nice as well but I would have preferred to continue entire deal with James. I am guessing the higher ups were worried I wasn't patient enough to wait 5-10 minutes till James finished. I felt very uncomfortable like I was doing something wrong switching. The second salesman I was given well when I brought up the payments and price didn't match up he told me he couldn't explain it and handed me to business manager or his sales manager. Basically I was countering their offer and his response every time was "I don't understand how interest works or how you are coming up with that amount". After deal was made NOT with 2nd salesman but with business manager I found out James Witherspoon was the one cleaning my vehicle and taking care of the not so fun stuff in the heat while the 2nd salesman was out smoking and had left me once I made deal with business manager. James was a gem. When everything was done and everyone had left 1 hour earlier James showed me how to work everything in vehicle, paid to put gas in it and gave me a goody bag of items. First time I have bought a vehicle and been given something from the salesman. James called me a couple days after to make sure all was ok with vehicle. James was the one who drove my other vehicle to my home since I was keeping it and not trading in. The other salesman came in after I had decided on a vehicle, couldn't even help me haggle telling me there was no way I could get it for that payment when in fact I did with the business manager. One salesman (James) did everything to make the experience enjoyable whether I bought a vehicle or not.James did all the hard work to make the sale happen and I hope he gets the credit. You need more conscientious salesmen like this. More

Phil Pettus is the BEST! I recently purchased a 2014 Focus, Phil made the experience so easy! This will make my 12the new vehicle, I've had some good and some very bad experie I recently purchased a 2014 Focus, Phil made the experience so easy! This will make my 12the new vehicle, I've had some good and some very bad experiences in the past. I can honestly say that Kelly Ford was the best so far, everyone treated me so wonderful, from Phil to John in Finance and Cheryl showing my all the bells and whistles that came with the car. I also need to give Traci in the service department and big two thumbs up as well, she always gave me the best care when my old car a 2004 Thunderbird needed servicing. As long as I'm in the area Kelly Ford will be my dealership to go to! More
