Since 1909, our Ford dealership in South Paris has served western Maine drivers as New England's oldest Ford dealership. Operating from the same location for over 115 years, we have earned generations of loyalty by treating people fairly, a tradition so rooted that we once traded a Model T for $403 and two cows back in 1922. That kind of deep-rooted history and trust is not something a newer store can manufacture.
Longevity alone does not keep customers coming back for a century, though. What sets our team apart is the combination of honest pricing, a diverse selection of new and used Ford carsand a service commitment that follows you long after you drive off our lot. Here is what makes us the clear choice.

What Customers Are Saying
The differentiators above are not just claims on a page; they show up in the words of the drivers who buy and service with us every day.
"We've purchased new vehicles from Genesis, Audi and now Ford and this was the best and most straightforward sales experience we've had. Starting with a custom factory order for a Maverick Lariat Hybrid all the way through delivery, sale and pickup the process was easy and very low pressure." -- Chris D. (Google Review)
"This dealer goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. I have used a closer Ford dealer in the past but it is well worth driving an hour to Ripley and Fletcher. We have bought both a used and a new vehicle from them and also used the service department and I have been very satisfied each time." -- Susan S. (Google Review)
"Great, professional, and friendly service. I appreciated the daily phone calls updating the progress of repairs. I expected three days of service. Ripley had it completed in two. They delivered what they promised. ... It's the service after the sale that counts." -- James R. (Google Review)
