Used Ford Edge for Sale in Chester, IL

This was my first time buying a car. My salesman, Woody, was very friendly and helpful. He opened all three of the cars I was looking at and went back inside for a few minutes so that I could inspect them freely (something I really appreciated--I had shopped at other dealerships and hated having someone hanging over my shoulder constantly). I had brought my mom and grandfather with me (to have someone with me who has experience with purchasing used cars and is mechanically-savvy enough to check the engine for any not-so-obvious problems), so Woody took a copy of my drivers license and allowed me to test drive all three without him in the car. Again, I really appreciated not having someone yelling facts and information at me from the back seat. At no time did I feel pressured, disrespected, or like I was being talked down to because of my age (all things I experienced at other dealerships). Having done my research, I knew what the cars I was looking at are truly worth--none of the three were excessively marked up (as was the case at most of the other dealerships I visited). All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and I know what my first stop will be when I purchase my next vehicle!

I looked all over Chicago and suburbs for a used Ford E350 cargo van, but to no avail. I also checked all the local newspaper classified ads, but couldn't find one for sale. Apparently, people buy these vans, and keep them. They're a real workhorse. Anyway, I found out Carmax in Schaumburg had one for sale, so I went there. Originally, it was listed at $13,000, but I managed to talk them down to $9,200. They even threw in an after-market cruise control - at half price!
