Mid-December 2025 I went to Riverside Ford Escanaba to purchase a 2025 Bronco for my wife. Since I…read moreknew one of the sales staff, I went to them first. Their "best" offer was ridiculously high, even with a family X-plan. They refused to budge and pretty much said "take it or leave it." I thanked them for their time and left. I cast a far wider net from the comfort of my home and laptop, and found a dealer in N. Indiana MORE than willing to negotiate, AND, for a 2026 model! I made my purchase, OUT THE DOOR, for nearly $6000 less than Riverside's "best" deal. The vehicle was delivered to my door by a husband/wife porter team, 480 mile one-way drive, as part of the deal. I paid exactly what I wanted to pay, OTD, the same price the Riverside people laughed at. So, if you want a new vehicle from ANY Riverside dealer in Escanaba or Iron Mountain, MI, DO NOT waste your valuable time with these sales people. They will rip you off in a heartbeat, and smile at you the whole time. Definitely go elsewhere. One of their salespersons called me mid-January asking if I was still interested in the vehicle. I thanked them, and laughed loudly, telling them what a great deal I got elsewhere. They weren't amused!

The next day it wouldn't start and was towed back to Riverside and has been there ever since -- for the last 3 months. They don't communicate, don't answer their phone or return calls. Very disappointed to say the least. I have had to contact the corporate office to escalate the case and had to involve the Michigan Attorney General office. Either repair, replace, or refund!

I recently bought a new car from riverside in escanaba. The car had a scratch, and rather than wait…read moreuntil it was repaired before I purchased, they assured me they would take care of me. This is a new 2021 car. They told me If I bought the car they would send someone to my house, pick up my car and give me a loaner until my car was fixed as they would not use the body shop here in MQT, but had to be fixed at their delearship. I agreed reluctantly. Anyway, this is what service after the sale looks like at Riverside Escanaba. This is the condition of the loaner car they brought me. It was full of pet hair, doors, floors were sticky from spliage, garbage on the floors and door pockets, and the seats were filthy.

They had the car I wanted within a couple hours. I will not be buying from anywhere else. I worked with Jim for a sales man. He called me the next day to make sure I still loved my car. He even went out of his way to help get it to the body shop two days after purchase, I had hit a deer and needed repairs. I never understand why people always say they don't like Riverside. Personally I don't think they have ever gone there. Wonderful people, and wonderful service!

Prior to moving to Minnesota, my wife and I purchased a used car from Riverside. The claims made…read moreincluded one owner, local trade, and that the owner was a reputable member of the community that worked for the Secretary of State. Aside from a "Clean" history, it was clearly indicated on the RD-108 "Application for Michigan Title and Registration" form that there was no damage or prior salvage. The car was priced appropriately, and the salesman even cut $500 dollars off the asking price right away. He claimed they didn't know much about the car, but I think he was lying. I took his word for it, and brought the car home. My mistake. The car didn't leave my garage in Michigan for 30 days. Why? Because it would not start after I had parked it there. What I found included a broken starter motor that was damaged by a failing flywheel. The oil pan drain was stripped out, and the sway bar was broken. Sway bars are very durable, so how did this one manage to snap? Keep reading to find out. I believe Riverside knew that the car needed major repairs and wanted to get rid of it ASAP. I will also assume some responsibility as I did not conduct a thorough inspection prior to buying. After 30 days of making weekend trips from Minnesota, I finally had the car fixed and on the road. This was only a minor problem compared to what we learned next. Upon arrival in Minnesota, I applied for a MN Title. I received one in 5 weeks that had a big red stamp on it. "Prior Salvage". I called Riverside and asked them what there history report said about the vehicle. The woman on the phone found the record and said there was nothing on the history. I paid for a separate vehicle history and found that before arriving at Riverside, the car was checked into Corey's Auto Salvage in Ingalls, MI. Damage type was listed as "Junk And Salvage". Deposition said "Sold". However, this report did not say when and where the car was damaged. I called Riverside again. I explained to the woman on the phone that my report said Corey's Auto Salvage on it. There was silence before she replied that the report they have listed a "Minor" accident in Florida. I asked for their report and she obliged. Upon reviewing their report, the accident was not minor. It is described as a front end impact that resulted in deployed airbags and the vehicle being towed from the scene. The next item on the report is that the car is being registered in Michigan. The date correlates with its arrival at Corey's. I called Corey's. They could not legally provide too much information, but told me exactly what I needed to hear. They only buy TOTALED vehicles from insurance. With this new information I called Riverside again. Coincidentally, the salesman who sold us the vehicle had called a couple weeks prior to check on how the car was treating us. I thought it was only appropriate that I talked to him. His demeanor quickly changed when I explained what was going on. To put it simply, I told him that I didn't want this to get stupid. They obviously sold me damaged goods. The Bill of Sale and RD-108 should be null and void. Give me my money back. You can have the car back to auction off or whatever you so choose. Needless to say. Riverside decided to act stupid. They claimed that they had no way of knowing and that the sale, although unfortunate, is final. We decided to pursue legal action. I contacted the best lemon law Lawyer in Michigan. She obtained a certified title history (This is a government document that goes into much greater detail about a vehicle history than any online history report). She had some bad news for us. The car had been totaled and was obviously the victim of a title washing scheme. Michigan is apparently too lenient with titling laws, hence you can total a vehicle out of state, and sell it to a Michigan salvage yard. They fix it, and alakazam you have a clean title. Her honest recommendation was to drop the case. The reasons being 1.) that the court costs would be very high. For example our next move would be obtaining a court approved appraisal of the vehicle which could cost $1500+. 2.) Riverside would likely exhaust us financially in court, knowing that they have the upper hand in a state that does little to enforce titling laws. 3.) Legal action would be very time consuming and we could not afford that as professionals working two states away. Lessons learned: Obtain 2-3 vehicle history reports to get a more complete history Don't purchase a vehicle from Riverside
