Taking a Tour of Charleston's Largest Ford Dealership!!!!
what's up everybody on Charlson car
videos today we are at one of the
largest Ford dealerships in Charleston
that's right we are here today at Jones
Ford in North Charleston South Carolina
now you may be wondering why are we not
at the other Ford dealership we're
always at and why are we here well today
I'm here and I'm looking for some really
high-end Ford vehicles so we're kind of
on the hunt for maybe a Ford Mustang
gt350 maybe some really cool trucks
we're just kind of got a few minutes
today and I figured why not stop by
Jones Ford and see what they have again
they are the largest Ford dealership in
the Charleston area they're right up off
of the interstate high 26 right there so
you can't miss them coming down the road
they have this beautiful facility and
again it's probably one of the largest
Ford dealerships I've ever even been to
personally myself so this is really
exciting so we're gonna kind of browse
around take a look and see what we can
find while we're here today at Jones for
[Music]
well right up front here they have some
really cool Ford Focuses here's the Ford
Focus ST love it super sweet I love the
white the one that really caught my
attention was the yellow one right over
here looks like it's got a dealer tag on
the back of it but check it out
Wow is that not a cool car right I mean
yellow yeah that says like fast fun to
drive anyways let's take a look here the
Ford Focus ST what a deal twenty-six
thousand seven seventy Wow really was
expecting it to be a lot more than
$26,000
that's an awesome deal let's take a
little closer look at
[Music]
all right so already liking everything
I'm seeing out here today this is pretty
fun so anyways we're about to walk in
this showroom and that rolling on the
cameras but as you can see right in
there
these huge glass windows they got all
these cool Fords they got a charging
station here I guess that's for the see
the max anyways it's pretty sweet Ford
dealership so let's keep looking around
oh I see something else you want to
check this out real quick look over here
if you thought those st versions of the
focus were sweet the yellow one take a
look at the blue that's looking good
loving the wheels loving the paint
I like this spoil this is the RS man see
this is what I'm talking about folks we
really want to be able to get out and
review some of these cars and test drive
them and all that in order to do that we
got to talk with the owners here and
make sure they're cool with us doing
some of this kind of stuff anyways let's
put the camera round on this one real
fast and see what it looks like I am
really liking that blue I mean look at
the metallics in the paint right there
that looks nice the grille the matte
black the fog lights down on the bottom
look great
get the Brembo brakes behind the rims
Wow good-looking sporty tires by
Michelin that's a nice looking car
really is
let's see how much an RS version focus
is running for currently in 2018 it's
actually 2017 2.3 liter G TDI 6-speed
manual for 40 mm 765 yes 25 highway 19
City Irish mile 22 but as you can see
here 42 the yellow one over there was
around or the white one whatever one
that was there was a 26,000 so this is
almost doubling in price but a lot more
power and performance with this vehicle
Wow and then check that out there's a
2018 Mustang 5.0 liter with Sport
Package on it michelin tires got the big
black wheels very similar to the one we
filmed on the channel did a livestream
on last week but again I'm loving the
color 28 Mustang is looking really
really fine anyways you're noticing
right now the sales guys haven't came
out to really talk with me because they
see the camera and they say okay this
guy's not buying a car today he is just
filming in the cars yeah that's probably
what it is
that's a pretty one all right let's see
what they got inside it's hot outside we
taking a quick bathroom break
beautiful dealership Wow I mean I know
it's not crazy I'm in the bathroom but
you know changing tables I mean this is
really nice alright let's use it back
for me to get back out showroom I got
some cool cars shaded well check out the
service language who's got a fireplace
beautiful service lounge you've got all
these cool chairs this is like the crème
de la crème of Ford dealerships right
and a lot of the bigger dealerships I've
worked with always seem to have a
picture of the the founder at some point
this is cata Wadler Jones
November 26 1921 to August 25th 2010 so
he was a founder of Jones Ford
incorporated started back in April 1st
1927 Wow Congrats to you man
you did it anyways let's see who the
pitcher is over here this person John
Robertson Paul he lived from January 26
1980 1889 September 2011 1970 founder of
Paul Motor Company from 1918 to 1969
that's him
so I'm assuming maybe he started it up
first and maybe that man bought the
company from him I don't know check this
out this is Jones Ford like a long time
ago before this dealership was built
really cool picture this is the Jones
Ford I remember as a kid coming up here
you know with the mom looking at cars
all that kind of thing
that's the interstate right there
there's rivers Avenue and then that's
the front where all the sales guys would
hang out and come out and greet the
customers and all that now basically now
all of this is gone and this is all
built up and they got a service shop and
a body shop back here and it's it's
totally all different now but that's the
old Jones 4 way back in the day pretty
cool I love looking at history of car
dealerships they just because they keep
growing and growing and growing and
maybe a hundred years from now this one
will probably be bulldozed and another
one will be up here let's look at a few
more or old pictures that picture is
similar to the one we looked at earlier
huh that's the first time someone did a
picture of a salesperson with their
customer
that's why sales people need to take
more pictures with their customers
because look at that the kids are in
their little clothes hanging out the
window so cool
Jones Ford anyway some of y'all watching
this video right now that are from the
charleston area probably really
appreciate me showing that y'all some of
this stuff that's a little 2017-2018
update
amazing I like how they kind of made the
cars in there kind of give them a
transparent look that's really that's
really pretty interesting all right
here's a 2018 Ford Raptor black it looks
good and beautiful big tough yeah that's
it yeah and then they got it I like how
they have here let's see if we can
squeeze through here I like how they
have the fusion the escape the edge the
Explorer the Flex the expedition I like
how they have all of them kind of lined
up right here in the front so you got
like each vehicle you can kind of check
out right in the showroom is a big
showroom look at it Wow then you got
this huge upstairs and that's where
we're going out and a little bit up
there into the owners office to go talk
with the owner and then you got the blue
Ford Raptor then another Ford Raptor I
mean how many Raptors could you have in
a showroom well they got one too they
got four Raptors
sitting right here in the showroom the
blue looks great that's my favorite
color combination on the Raptor is the
blue with the gray and the black and all
looks really sweet and then this one is
priced out seventy two thousand six
forty price adjustment sticker brings it
to 76 one 140 huh
so a little bit of a discount there I
see right interesting all right we'll be
back well we couldn't pass this one up I
mean if we're in here we might as well
film it right check it out was that old
Model T I think so let's take a look at
what they got here on this
originally published in the Model T
times August July August 1996 so it was
in the magazine Model T times President
Alexander malcomson 255 shares Vice
President Henry Ford
255 shares the investors were as
followed ok the investors in creating
this automobile to be sold and produced
back then anyways
I mean that's what people used to ride
around in you got tires would still feel
like tires would
look like steel metal they created that
thing kind of interesting something
different right hmm I got the old Ford
logo on there and then you would sit
here and with your lady friend right
over there and y'all go out to dinner
the Swank eNOS of downtown Charleston
still got the old pedals down there
check that out pretty sweet that's
really cool
actually not a really good condition too
Sonia okay that's a South Carolina lace
license plate that's cool
that's definitely got to be worth
something right all right that's it for
now folks we're going to get ready for
this meeting
[Music]
what's up everybody we had a great
meeting all right we got to talk real
quickly about this Ford Flex right here
because I really like the Ford Flex and
I've never really seen a Ford Flex it
looks like this one so let's have a look
at it okay here is a Ford Flex white
black wheels I don't know what package
this has on it but I really like it I
mean you get the black there then you
got the Flex in black the wheels the
mirrors the top that's a nice color
combination look at the interior Wow
sweet yeah that the grey and I mean did
you know what Ford Flex had come with
sunroof in the front and then two in the
rear we got to check this out holy
mackerel
look at that beautiful car just a really
beautiful vehicle that's pretty sweet
and oh my goodness there's one in the
bank I mean they're everywhere
they are every everywhere inside this
vehicle
this is sweet I'm loving that oh I like
it that's like the perfect sporty family
vehicle it really is got to be a 20-18
you got tow package on it that color
looks great we've filmed one of these
not too long ago in that color but I'm
not a fan of those wheels on that color
it looks better with the black wheels
with that color combination
but again just my opinion the edge looks
nice the escape looks good all right
we're gonna talk more when we get
outside so you definitely feel like
you're at an American car line I mean
you got the flag you get the cars the
trucks the muscle cars you got it going
on then you go inside the dealership you
see all the great history of Jones and
the pictures and what a cool store
anyways really enjoyed it got to meet
the actual owner of the dealership today
really nice guy I really enjoyed talking
with him and he first off didn't have a
clue who was coming to talk with him
other than a buddy of mine that I work
would said hey I want you to meet this
guy named Chad a friend of mine and
basically I talked with them and
explained what I do and how I filmed
cars and that's not in the other and I
think I think the medium went good I do
I think he went pretty good yeah not too
bad didn't get to lock down anything
necessarily today though right but
listen when you go in and you're working
with people and you're trying to sell
your services to them they're not always
gonna say let me shake your hand let's
sign the paperwork let's do it right now
that's not always the case
so today was the first meeting talk with
him explain Who I am I got his email his
business information and then I will
email him some links and things and let
him see a little bit of what I do a lot
of the times what you got going on with
these really big car dealerships
compared to some of your smaller
dealerships that I work with sometimes
is the bigger dealerships most of the
time already have someone providing them
with video
okay they call it a ad agency in the car
business and the ad agency already does
it right if the if the dealership says I
need a TV commercial stat okay call the
ad agency they'll send the camera crew
out they'll film a TV commercial then
they'll send it to the television
airwaves right or they put it up online
that's kind of how that works right so
an ad agency lots most of the time
offers video services now their
particular ad agency is not out of
Charleston but the video company that
the ad agency provides they just
subcontract to work out to somebody that
owns a video company here in Charleston
so that's interesting right that's
something I'm learning today that some
ad agencies don't offer video but they
subcontract the work out
so anyways maybe in the future I could
be one of those people that companies
subcontract sub chunk
sup subcontract work out to but but
here's another thing what I do and the
owner got it he said it he said it he
said what you do is is is a kind of a
niche thing right and like I explained
to him there's nobody really filming the
used vehicles or the new ones or any
ways I do them okay I mean yeah you can
go on YouTube and given day and we can
watch a review on a Ford truck but can
you go and watch a review of a pre-owned
for sale 2012 Ford truck probably not a
lot less so I get it it's it's a new
thing but at the same time it's not new
to me because I've been doing it now
since 2008 anyways we'll just keep
plugging away but I do appreciate my
friend you set me up with a little
meeting today and it's the first and I
think what I said today and how I talked
and what I'll show him in the future
will definitely stick and when something
comes in or something happens he might
contact me
you got to plant the seed okay so always
remember that plant the seed and
possibly the seed will grow all right
everybody that's it for today we had a
great time here at Jones for checking
out the inventory
and talking with the owner so it's
Friday the sun's out I think I'm gonna
get home at the family cook some burgers
tonight enjoy ourselves and we'll see
you all again tomorrow
[Applause]
