Had an awesome experience at Capital City today trading in my Bronco Sport. The offer from Ashton was so good, I drove from Iowa City because they paid $2k more than the big dealers out here! Make sure to stop into Cap City for your automotive needs!

I was turned down last week at a different dealership in Des Moines and was expecting the same today. Dane listened to what I was needing and was able to get me into a vehicle like I was looking for.
