Todd Brabender

Ford Sales Manager

Carman Ford Lincoln

193 S DuPont Highway
New Castle, DE 19720

I have lived in Delaware since 1998, originally from a small town in upstate NY. After High School I entered the United States Air Force where I had a distinguished and rewarding career as a K-9 handler. After 10 years of serving my country and receiving an honorable discharge, I made the hard choice to start a new career, which enabled me to spend more time with my wife and two boys. I enjoy working for this dealership and have been a Ford Truck guy all my life!

I had an absolutely great experience at Carman Ford! Working with Vince was a pleasure from start to finish.

He was extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with, and, most importantly, I could tell that he genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. He never made me feel pressured and went above and beyond to make the entire process easy and enjoyable. The management team was also a pleasure to work with. Todd and Bob made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make what can sometimes be a stressful process completely seamless. I’ve been buying cars for over 60 years, and I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend Vince and the entire team at Carman Ford enough. If you’re looking for a dealership that truly cares about its customers, I highly recommend giving them a visit! More
