My experience was good from being approved to signing paperwork. Artavia was excellent with explaining everything I needed to know regarding my loan and purchase. I didn’t like the fact that the vehicle was dirty inside and out. When I asked the answer was we can vacuum it out but the guy that washes the vehicles isn’t there. I’ve never purchased a vehicle that was dirty even at a less known dealership. My vehicle has certain things that aren’t working so I’m needing to see where to take it for repair or checkup. The four stars are mainly due to the sales rep and she deserves a pay increase or award.

Got preapproved online. Went to Montclair office-test drove some vehicles-picked one for 15,000. Pressured to buy optional products. I refused except for 50,000 warranty. Manager Bo kept pressuring me to buy insurance which I purchased, then wanted to run credit again. I told her, "You guys are doing this all backwards." Then she claimed the computer was asking for 7000 down but they would take 5000. Her and a ** girl. I told both of them that I'm not putting that much down on a 15000 car. I spoke with the ins guy tonight and he said she did not call him about my refund. I feel they are running games and I am notifying corporate and the BBB. I also have a slight feeling about identity theft. Because of their actions. Something about them is not right and I will be checking my credit file from time to time. I will notify the FBI if anything comes up.

My initial experience with DriveTime was great! We had an amazing salesman, we found the car we wanted (2019 Ford Explorer) and it was all within our budget. We did mention some small things we noticed on the car and they said everything would be covered within that 30 day window as long as we took it to authorized repair facility. Cool, was happy with taking the vehicle somewhere to do small repairs; as I know, not all used vehicles are perfect.
We found a repair shop that worked with SilverRock (the warranty company DriveTime uses) and they looked over our car top to bottom. Come to find out the transmission had been replaced by DriveTime only 100 miles prior to us purchasing the vehicle, and DriveTime failed to mention that it had a major repair done. On top of all that, the repair shop was able to see that the new transmission was already failing and it was due to DriveTime not adequately replacing it the first time. The Repair shop told us they have to wait for approvals from SilverRock to start any work, fine. That took a few days, then it came back as not approved.
The shop resent new information and then SilverRock approved the replacement. As if that process didn’t suck enough, the transmission was going to take a week to come in and needed several other repairs too. My car has been in the shop since I purchased it and if I had been warned about the condition the vehicle had really been in, I probably would have moved on to a different car. The “background” they give you on your car is NOT all there. Do yourself a favor and pay for the 40 dollar CarFax. I won’t ever buy from DriveTime again. I’m going to be paying on a car I have yet to enjoy.

Staff were friendly & worked to get me in the vehicle I wanted, especially Dante who went above & beyond to resolve down payment amount discrepancy & “accepted” verifiable income! I will say from the banking side (Bridgecrest) - it was absolutely ridiculous that $80 in verifiable income was the difference between a $300 down payment & a $900 down payment; I had $4320 of “accepted” verifiable income & needed $4400 to drop the down payment from $900 to $300?! That math ain’t mathing!
And I had much more verifiable monthly income that just wasn’t accepted, but there was enough there that that $80 should not have been enough to keep a deal from being done & keep Dante from completing a sale that he worked for & earned! That hard line for $80 that was clearly covered by documents that you would not consider tells me you really don’t care about the DriveTime salespeople, general managers, or customers! I bought the car (& paid the bigger down payment) because Drivetime & Dante earned the business despite the fact Bridgecrest didn’t, & since that $80 was enough for you to justify not bending/moving to make a deal, trust me when I tell you that same $80 will be enough to keep me from ever bending to do another deal with Bridgecrest!

So far I've paid over 1300 in repairs, that I was told would be covered under there added bumper to bumper warranty and yet nothing has been covered. I feel they played on my need for a car and I've haven't bought 1 since 1983 so it's a shame I allowed them to take advantage of me.

As I was driving home black ants started crawling all over the inside of the car and on me. Then the car started shaking and the engine light came on after I got on the highway. I wasn't allowed to test drive on any road with a speed limit over 45mph, if so I believe the mechanical issues would have shown up prior to purchase. Once I arrived back home I immediately took the car to Firestone per Drivetime's manager's directions. I drove THREE hours for this particular car. I had spoken to Derek prior to driving down and informed him that the 2016 Nissan Rogue was the ONLY car that I was interested in and set an appointment for 11:00 am.
I arrived about 15-20 minutes early to find the car being brought up for another customer to test drive. AFTER the other customer decided not to test drive it I was allowed to. I currently own a 2017 Nissan Rogue with 232k miles on it and have confidence in Nissan products. I just bought a car and can't drive it. I was told that if I require a rental car that I would be reimbursed. Who has money for a rental??? Praying that this issue is resolved and the car repair expeditiously.

Don’t fall for this. It isn’t true and you pay more because payments are every two weeks. Some months you pay 3 payments in one month. They automatically add gap insurance of 5,000 to your loan. The car you buy isn’t even worth the money by then. Just don’t do DriveTime unless you are desperate.

Great experience. Process was a little lengthy but that comes with the purchase of buying a new vehicle. I did my research and was pre approved before I got there so I knew exactly what I wanted. I did test drive a few others vehicles before I made my final decision. I ended up getting the car I had picked and was approved online for. No hidden fees I was told what I needed for a down payment before I arrived as well Highly recommend this place. Thanks Drive Time.

The one experience I’ve had with them is not what I expected. Firstly, the car I purchased didn’t come with floor mats or charger. (1st warning sign), second, stated it wasn’t in any accidents but have multiple panels painted with horrible color match, lots of overspray and pdr holes in dog leg. And finally, had car for 3 months, throws check engine light, took to BMW dealer only to find out there’s over $5000 in repairs to make it safe and roadworthy. Their Silver Rock warranty was advertised as bumper to bumper however it only covers very limited items (actual engine, actual trans, no components or accessories to those items). Overall would not recommend to anybody ever, however if it is a must proceed with caution.

The service was fine, the vehicle was OK. I needed something in a hurry for my daughter and her 5 children. Her boyfriend could not qualify for a loan so I had to step in. The interest is SHAMEFUL, the payment gig with Bridgecrest is SHAMEFUL. The owner of that company is Rolling in the dough and screwing the little people. So you're poor, you have bad credit so let's charge some outrageous interest rate and by the time you pay this off, the vehicle will most likely be ready for the dump. Walk, ride a bike, ride the bus, save some money and buy from a reputable dealer and Lender with a warranty longer than 30 days. See the photo of the amount of interest per payment (Every 2 weeks) and the principal you are paying. Ridiculous, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

I was out of work for three months and my credit was horrible. I went to Drivetime two weeks ago and was presented with a decent offer of a $395 down payment for a very nice car but I did not have the down payment. Two weeks later, I had the down payment and was told my application was still valid but when I got to the dealership I was told that I now needed a $1,000 down payment, that the original car was no longer available and was forced to take an add on that I didn’t want. I told him that I only had the original $400 and that is when he directed me to the $500 down payment cars. He directed me to a car that was $362 bi-weekly and I told him that I couldn’t afford that and that I needed monthly payments. He ignored me and kept going until I finally said no.
I then picked out a car that I didn’t want because it was the only one that I could afford but when he told me the monthly payment I said that I wasn’t paying all of that for a 2018 car despite how desperate I was. I asked him to take off all of the add ons and that’s when he started getting rude and yelling until I got up and was about to walk out. My original interest rate was 13.95%. It all of a sudden it became 19.90%. I got up and despite being desperate was about to walk out when he softened his tone and I came back in and very reluctantly signed the deal. I regret it and and seriously considering taking the car back. NEVER AGAIN DRIVE TIME.

The car purchase experience was a nightmare with terrible customer service at the New Castle Delaware location. Representatives were not helpful at all, we had to travel back to the state several times, and they did not offer any courtesies at all. I was very stressed with the purchase experience and the documentation has incorrect mileage and other information incorrect on it. If that wasn't enough the vehicle itself has extensive mechanical problems and two definite collision sites according to DriveTime in network mechanics.
DriveTime affiliate mechanics give a diagnostic readout of four critical matters: Communication with the Steering Column is faulty (SCM/MRM). The resistance of the Starter Battery is too high. Front Keyless Go Low Frequency Antenna is faulty. An open circuit exists. The Satellite Radio Antenna is faulty. There is a short circuit to ground, and there is a short circuit to the battery (+)
To add insult to injury the rear passenger fender has clear car collision damage that goes beyond cosmetic. The mechanic told me.to take the car back. And there is another collision site on the driver's side door. Not to mention a host of other scratches and dents we did not notice because we made our purchase at night.
The dealer didn't bother to clean and prepare the vehicle either and because it was after close when we walked out the door was locked behind us and the lights cut off. We drove off with huge error message on the dashboard that reads "STOP VEHICLE! LEAVE ENGINE RUNNING!"?!?! This has been a nightmare experience! I want to exchange the vehicle for a decent vehicle without mechanical issues and clear and obvious collision damage. I can't believe DriveTime even sold a vehicle like this. Two DriveTime affiliate mechanics shops can't believe it either. This has been a terrible experience. I want another vehicle please or to return this one.

There was nothing negative I could say about the whole experience. I would recommend Drivetime to anyone looking to get a used vehicle.

I had a awesome experience at the St. Paul, MN location. Michael C. took the time to walk me through the process and made the car buying experience a positive one. I always dreaded car shopping as most dealers don't have patience or time unless you're putting big money down. I highly recommend Drive Time.

Thank you to everyone at the Kissimmee DriveTime location! I never thought I'd be driving such a nice car. My credit isn't the best so I really didn't think I'd ever get approved but they reassured me and made it happen. They didn't mind my kids at all and they were so sweet to them.

Updated on 08/22/2024: Day 12th still don't have a new used car, being jerked around at the Cassat Ave location and also customer service had to drive 40 miles to get here for my wife to sign another paper, could had it done day one and this paperwork takes 7 days, before that we might hear something about the car we are trying to buy, called several times and most of the time no one here has a clue what's going on even with all the stuff that they wanted, and if I could I would not even rate this as a one star, and the ads on tv are a joke, full of lies.
Original: Was approved for a vehicle Cherokee Patriot, my wife and I have good credit. Come to find out my wife credit had fraudulent activity and needed a bank statement and social security card. I gave and sent over what they wanted then when we get home I had fraudulent activity and needed a copy of my social and phone bill. Sent it to him to call me. Never happen. Then I get a phone call. Congratulations me about being approved and how was my experience. I said a scale from 1 to 10 it was a double 0 and also spoke to a manager there at cassata ave, no help then got another call. Said I miss my appointment today. I said it was Monday, still driving in my old car.

The experience overall wasn't bad. I bought a 2019 Buick Encore on a Saturday August 10, 2024. I returned on Monday to report my hazard lights not working. The sales lady I worked with to buy the vehicle stated we checked the lights. I told her yes we did, but never the hazard lights. She said if the turn signals work, then the hazard lights should have worked, they DON'T. Today is Tuesday the 13th and I still don't have hazard lights on my vehicle.

I purchased a car last week, I brought my husband in with me. He was saying how easy it was to purchase a car at DriveTime. John & crew were amazing, he keep giving me different options and was great because I wanted to test drive a lot of vehicles. Glad I purchased at DriveTime, definitely will recommend the staff at this location in Lakewood, CO. And in 30 years of buying cars, I have never had a salesman call the next day to make sure everything was good. See you guys next time. Customer for life!

Day 1: While I was waiting for the temp tag I noticed the tire was low. As the salesperson was putting air in the tire it was leaving out but somehow he managed to get the air back in. 5 minutes after leaving the tire became completely flat, stuck on side the road with no spare tire. I had to pay out of pocket to a mobile mechanic to change my tire. Well come to find out the stem valve was bad lol. So I had to get a used tire and a new stem valve. Day 2: The car stalled and I had to get it towed all out of my pocket. PLEASE DON'T BUY A CAR FROM DRIVE TIME THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

In May they sold me an suv 2023 with 7,000 miles on it and after two weeks the transmission, oil pump, and other major components on this truck went out. Now we’re in Aug and I have yet to see or drive my suv. My thing is before you sell a car to your customer make sure you inspect it first, and customer make sure you asks a inspection report before you purchase (thank you for nothing Drivetime).

I am not going to bash anyone by using their names. Yet I shopped in Athens Ga and at this time I’m not fully satisfied to say the least. I went with the hopes that I could choose between a few cars yet that fell off the table. I had a co-buyer go With me and just because he used an online bank they said he would need more proof to show his residence. So I had spent Over $100 to Uber to the location and been without a car for over 2 months. So next I was pulling up every account I’ve ever had to prove more of my personal income. So then I’m told I’m going to be limited on basically every car I had wanted to look at. No cars would be under $2-3,000 down. Yet my income was at or above $2600 or more. So now I’m told that I can pick from the only one I had driven or a few others that I wouldn’t have ever bought. So I’m now driving a car that has literally no horsepower. I’m given an (APR) of 29.40% and add ons were added without me asking for them.
So now I’ve got one of the cheapest cars on the lot with an outrageous payment and outrageous apr rate. $15,000 car could end up costing over $41,000!!! I’ve had it one week and I was in the shop today. Due to standing water in the floorboard, a moldy smell and something blowing out my Vents. Mind you this is a 2019 model With just over 65,000 miles now. I’m in disbelief that they had added the add ons without even asking me. Then acted like they was giving me the option to keep or remove the warranty’s. I felt like they was going to assure I had no car at all if I removed the add ons. So now I’m stuck in a car with a extremely tiny motor. A outrageous payment and Apr rate. I had hoped to get a car that I really wanted. I had hoped that someone would have made that possible. I don’t see that they will make this right even if I call. I’ve messaged and I get nowhere at all.

This is first time I can actually say the process went in order no unexpected changes. I did the application online and it said, "Congratulations you've been approved." I was skeptical so I called and customer service stated the same thing. They said we will make you an appointment bring documents choose your vehicle and that's it. Still skeptical I went to the appointment and I had an awesome salesman Shak (Owings **) and it wasted no time checking my info and he explained everything. I chose the vehicle test drove, did paperwork and I drove away with a ride.
