Long story short, I would have assigned a 10, however, 5 was the max! Now the long story.....having purchased several vehicles from an uncle in the business, I was used to excellent customer service and respect (even if I asked a question that reflected my lack of car knowledge). My husband and I ended up at Apple Valley Ford Lincoln, quite by chance, on a whim. I drove a 2004 Lincoln LS and loved every inch of it. I had toyed with getting a new car and thought about making a big change, purely for fun. My Lincoln was relatively sleek and the newer versions of Lincoln did not appeal to me when viewed on-line. I wanted to check out a more sporty looking vehicle, so had looked at the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro, but I wasn't happy with what I had to give up, in terms of creature comfort. We walked into AVFL to look at a Mustang as I thought they looked great on the road. Through many questions and answers, Scott Rutman helped me determine that there were too many 'deal-breakers' associated with the Mustang and asked if I had considered a Lincoln MKZ (which I hadn't). It looked so much better in person than on-line. When I got in, I realized it had everything that I 'had to have'. The color of the floor model was not going to fly, so Scott pointed out a black model with the black 'sport' interior package, wow, I was hooked! We put down a deposit so it couldn't be sold and I had a chance to 'sleep on it'. Scott helped with all the paperwork and gave me a lot to think about until the next day; he could not have been more helpful, informative or patient. The next morning we met with Scott, Jon, Jean, JC and Mike. I got a very fair trade-in on my old yet pampered baby and completed all the paperwork for my new one. All the employees I encountered, from the receptionist, in the front, to the service personnel, in the back, acted like I was a member of the family (just like Uncle Denny)! I would highly recommend Apple Valley Ford Lincoln to friends and relatives alike. AND, if you'd like a great little used car, ask about the 2004 Lincoln LS I left with them---you'll love it like I did (and I took excellent care of it for you). Thanks to you, Scott, I fell in love with another Lincoln - who knew? And a special shout out to Kiki who facilitated, with Scott, getting me a loaner vehicle while my new MKZ had its windows tinted and auto-start installed. I could not be happier with my new MKZ, or the treatment I received at Apple Valley Ford Lincoln and I look forward to doing future business with them! read more
