2025 Ford Explorer Active 4WD (PL535)

There is nothing I hate more than buying a vehicle, maybe it was because of past bad experiences but let me tell you this, dealing with Motor Inn of Spirit Lake was an absolute pleasure!!!! Spencer was great! No nonsense, straight to the point, kept me updated on everything through the process. Spencer and Cathy are top notch. I traveled from NJ to their dealership in Iowa! And I’d do it again if I need another Jeep in the future. If you are looking for a beautiful jeep this is the place that’s worth traveling half way across the country to make a purchase!!!!

Spencer and team could not be more accommodating. I ordered a Ram and drove 3.5 hours from Omaha because I had heard how great they were and were willing to make a deal better than anyone in my area. Worth every minute of the drive up. The truck took 5 months to come in but Spencer kept me up to date and his team was incredibly prepared for me to arrive. I literally spent 45 min in the office total and we were on the road home. Truck was spotless upon arrival. Thank you all!

I first reached out to Spencer Heywood over the summer after reading about his dealership on the Jeep Gladiator Forum. He was offering 5% below invoice on the Gladiators. He was very responsive to my emails and provided the "Configuration Preview" sheet for my custom build to verify the price. When it came time to order several months later, I made the rounds to both Washington DC dealers (where I was coming from) and local Iowa dealers (where I was moving to). No one came close to the price Spencer was offering. With a simple email and Venmo of a deposit, the order was placed. Spencer continued to update me regularly as additional information came in. Order was placed on November 30th and the vehicle arrived at the dealer on February 1st. Soon after, Cathy reached out to make sure she could have all the paperwork squared away for me before I arrived. Just like Spencer, she was incredibly responsive and great to work with. This weekend we made the 4 hour trek to Spirit Lake to pick up the Gladiator. Before we could get out of our car, Spencer was outside and next to the Jeep (it was -6 without wind chill at this point!). He had all the paperwork ready to go, offered to go over any feature(s) I wanted, and insisted on setting up my cellphone in the car before I left. From arrival to departure, it was less than 30 minutes! First thing this morning (7:12), I already had an email from Spencer making sure that we arrived home safely and asking if I have any questions. This has truly been the best vehicle buying experience I have ever had - including the purchase of a Tesla Model S and a Porsche 911. I would highly recommend Spencer and his team to anyone looking to purchase a Jeep!
