I bought a 2010 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer from Maplecrest this past weekend. I found the truck on cars.com, used the chat feature to make initial contact with a sales rep (Brian McHugh) who gave me his email this past weekend. I found the truck on cars.com, used the chat feature to make initial contact with a sales rep (Brian McHugh) who gave me his email and phone numbers. After a few very friendly emails and phone conversations, I decided to make the trip to New Jersey from Alabama to buy the truck. Brian was extremely easy to work with, very friendly, and responsive to my inquiries. A couple of times I emailed him with questions, and rather than email me back, he picked up the phone and called me, which was really nice. Another sales rep, James Skuraton, helped out a couple times in facilitating communication, as well, so they obviously have a positive, collegial atmosphere. I tend to go over any major purchase with a fine-toothed comb, and Brian was patient and fast with answers. The only place that broke down a little was in my efforts to get the best price and coverage in my extended warranty, where I asked to have Matt Daspin call me again to discuss further some stuff he had already gone over with me, but he didn't. However, once I was in the dealership, Matt was really easy to work with as well, and gave me a really good deal on a Ford Premium Care warranty. Overall, I was very happy with the buying experience, but I do have two criticisms. These are, frankly, the only "negative" things that come to mind, and I mention them with the thought, "Other than these two things, this was a perfect experience." One, the inside of the truck was not as clean as it should have been when I arrived to buy the truck. The 3rd row seat had what looked to be a little bit of "dried leaf crumbles" (or something like that) in it, and on the floor in front of it; also, the rear cargo area carpeting and side panels were not thoroughly cleaned. Brian did return the car to the detailing crew to have the interior cleaned up more. Secondly, as I said above, I flew in to New Jersey from Alabama, something I mentioned very early in my dealings with Brian. I thought he (or someone from the dealer) would pick me up at the airport, but Brian initially suggested I take the train from Newark airport to Morristown, which would cost about $20, and the dealership would pick me up there, all of which seemed reasonable. Later, he told me that the train could take a couple of hours, and I might be better off taking a cab to the dealership for only about $45. As it turned out, the cab ride was over $80. Looking back, the dealer should have sent someone to pick me up at the airport. The cleaning issue is why I mentioned the "detailing crew" in the "Employees Worked With" section above, and why my rating for "Quality of Work" is only a 4 and not a 5. The cleaning issue and transportation from the airport situation led to my rating of "Customer Service" as a 4 and not a 5. I considered making Customer Service only "3 / OK", but a couple factors balanced those things out. One was Brian's attentiveness to my questions during the negotiation phase. Also, when I was at the dealership, he spent time helping me set up my phone with the vehicle Sync system, and showing me how to use the in-dash navigation system. Once I got back to Alabama, I emailed him when I realized I didn't have the keyless entry code, and he worked to get that information for me. I had some apprehension about going this far, and out of state, to buy a vehicle, but, overall, Maplecrest Ford - especially Brian and Matt - made the experience an excellent one. If I had the option, my "Overall Experience" rating would be 4.5 instead of 4. Bottom line: I got a great truck for a tremendous price, and a really good deal on an extended warranty, too. The people are extremely friendly and easy to deal with, and I would absolutely make this purchase again. Thanks so much to all at Maplecrest Ford! More
