My wife and I were very pleased with the entire process of purchasing a new Escape from Spradley Barr Ford in Fort Collins. John Fischer immediately responded to my e-mail when I requested information about the Escape. He gave me a quote within a few minutes. We set up a meeting time and were introduced to Mike Cook. Mike found the available Escapes in the area and we spent a lot of time talking about what features they had and what we needed. I have a canoe and required roof side rails on the Escape. We test drove an Escape with Mike and verified that my wife could easily drive it. She is not very tall and has problems in some cars. We determined that the electronically adjustable seat was something we wanted and decided to limit our search to the Escape XLT models. Mike and John searched the available Escapes and found a black one, our choice of color, that met our requirements. We were offered a price and what we would receive for trading in our Jeep Cherokee. The negotiations were handled in a forthright manner. Although we were prepared to pay cash, it was determined that we could save almost $1000 by getting a loan and then paying it off. Next we saw Napoleon Gibson who stepped us through the lengthy paperwork. He carefully explained everything we needed to sign. Napoleon helped us through the process. On Wednesday, we picked up our shiny new black Escape. Mike gave us a complete tour of the vehicle, explaining all the many features. Our Escape has been running great and is very enjoyable to drive. The Sirius radio has an enormous selection of music and other programming. We now need to get a blue tooth phone to use the Sync. The entire experience was great and we have a really nice new SUV.
