Dealership is in a renoed home improvement store, has a used car showroom next to the new car showroom. Very nice place. All inside.

That's good..

The place where I bought mine was sold and the new owners are building a new building.. Not sure what it will be like...

Don't really want to go there to look, cause I may find a new truck to follow me home...

If you're not ready to spend the money, its a great place to stay away from. The day I went to pick up Kyle's key they were more than ready to take my truck off my hands.

The old dealership was across the street from where it is now. That was a nice building but this one is nicer. Not many dealerships have travertine marble floors and stainless steel siding.

I hate owning a rusty truck.

Being retired has helped save it. No body rust.

This dealership is worthy of selling Lincoln's. That dealership is across the street next to the old building.

Every fourth oil change is free. A free wash every time you visit the dealer.

Green Ford is probably the most aggressive dealership in the Peoria area.

Free is the incentive to not forget. I think I forgot once but they made it up when I told them, its all there in the computer.
