I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi in Clinton. I made a decision in 2002 to move to Des Moines where I started working at Charles Gabus Ford. I've been in the car business for over 2 decades now after managing restaurants for 5 years. My wife and I have been enjoying traveling for many years and finally decided to start our family. My son Tyler was born on March 19th 2017. Other than getting married and moving to Des Moines, he is the best decision I've made in my lifetime. I would love to help you with all of your automotive needs! Stephen Sanders sanders@charlesgabus.com 515-205-2445

Steve listening to what we needed & wanted with this purchase. We were amazed at how quickly we reached an agreement that worked very well for us. We drove out of Gabus with a car that was exactly what we were looking for and more. We have bought over 10 vehicles from Gabus in the past 25 years and all have been good experiences. This last experience with Steve exceeded our expectations. Steve is an honest, knowledgeable, no pressure salesman who streamlined the buying process so we were in and out quickly. We have and will continue to recommend Gabus Ford and Steve. He is a great asset to Gabus. More

Flawless purchase working with Steve Sanders! Steve did an excellent job! I found the car I really wanted online...It hadn't gone thru the whole process yet and was still being cleaned up and ser Steve did an excellent job! I found the car I really wanted online...It hadn't gone thru the whole process yet and was still being cleaned up and serviced from being traded in. It needed a little touch up work done to it. When I picked it up on Friday it was great! Steve made the process smooth and seamless! Thank you much Steve and I'll definitely see you again when I'm ready to trade this one in! Gary Kinney in Finance did an excellent job also. Signing the paperwork went very smoothly and he made sure I got the credit for the extended warranty I'd purchased on my trade in and put it towards the extended warranty for the new vehicle. More

Steve Sanders you make car buying a treat! Steve Sanders is a "rock star" salesman when it comes to buying a car. My husband entered on online request for payment on a car we were looking at th Steve Sanders is a "rock star" salesman when it comes to buying a car. My husband entered on online request for payment on a car we were looking at through the Charles Gabus website on Friday. My husband received a call from Steve within 2 hours (maybe less) from the time of the online request. He quoted Marty an estimate of payment for the 2017 Ford C-Max we were looking at along with another C-Max that was also available. We went to the dealership the next day and in less than 5 minutes of arrival we were test driving one of the 2 C-Max's we were interested in. Long story short, we walked out of the dealership after 1 1/2 hours the proud owners of a new 2017 C-Max AND we got within $50 of what we wanted for payment.This was as painless as car buying can be & I thank you Steve for making this such an enjoyable purchase.
