It was such an easy car to drive. We cruised all over and enjoyed it very much. Finally I'm at a red light, it turned green so I decided to get on it- what a surprise! This ole Ford is quick! The new owner will absolutely be very happy with this one.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
