If you had asked me last year what I thought about Owatonna Ford I would have had a somewhat negative opinion on it. My fiancé and I had gone in there to test drive a few cars that we had seen on the website and were greeted by a salesman that either didn’t like us because we were young, or thought we were just there to joyride because we were young. Needless to say, the experience left a very sour taste in my mouth and I was rather hesitant to return here. Fast forward to last month, my fiancé was on the way to Albert Lea from Owatonna on 35 when every light on the dashboard turned on and the Taurus lost power. It chugged it’s way to the side of the road where it was towed to a dealer in Waseca. It sat there for a day where they mulled over whether or not the warranty would cover the speed sensor in the transmission and because they weren’t sure we opted to trade the vehicle in instead of chancing a several thousand dollar repair. DEML in Waseca only wanted to offer $ 7,000, Owatonna Ford offered much more. My fiancé picked out a Silver 2012 Fusion SEL with almost every available option. It’s safe, gets great mileage, looks fantastic, and is an all around stunning vehicle. The salesman we dealt with this time was amazing! Chris was great from start to finish. He was funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and didn’t think twice about two 20 somethings in shopping for an almost new vehicle. After this experience I will most assuredly be buying my next car here. I have a Taurus as well and when it is time to trade the ol’ girl in I will more than likely be getting myself a new Fusion or Focus. Owtaonna Ford really scored a win, and I would encourage anyone in the market for a new vehicle check this place out!
