I started my shopping online and I liked that I was able to get my down payment and monthly payment before I came to the dealership door a test drive. I made a short list of vehicles I was interested in across two different locations. Both stores were very helpful. The sales people were informative and easy going.

This was a very easy process that I did online. The representatives were very friendly and were willing to address any concern or question I had. I drove my new car off of the lot the same day I went in. Thank you Drive Time.

Malcolm was very friendly and polite. From the first beginning of the sale to the end he helped me. Sent me new vehicles they had gotten in and made the process fast and easy. I was looking for a vehicle bigger than the one I have. And Malcolm did a great job helping me find the perfect vehicle. Overall great customer service.

Went thru three cars that had mechanical problem. Salemen don't need to sale lemon. No one checks this vehicles for issue. Will not go there again. Drive Time need to have cars check before making a sale. All the cars are big lemon. Customer service didn't want to fix no issue with none of the cars I like. Very disappointed there

This was the second vehicle I've gotten from Drivetime. Alan made it even easier to get through the process than it was the first time, and that went exceptionally smooth as well. No pressure to buy, just let me look at and test drive the vehicle of my choice. He even got me a 1% reduction on my interest rate which equated to an $800 savings.

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt special and important. Jennifer was a blessing and she turned me over to Tony for further assistance. Tony knew his cars very well and was greatly concerned about getting me in the car with the best fit for me and my family. While the 1st vehicle was good, it was not exactly what I was looking for although it fit all my family needs. A few days later, there it was, the car that satisfied my every need AND want! Not only were my family's need met, but I also got class, beauty and style to compliment our request. Tony is a special representative who works with the customer's best interests in mind. Tony created the perfect marriage between me and my car! I greatly appreciate the AWESOME Team at the Cassat Ave location. Thank you TEAM...You were truly a blessing to me!

I was out looking at and test driving cars at a few of your locations. The one that’s sitting with me is the Colorado Springs Location. There is a Golf on their lot with only 9,000 miles on it. I had been very curious to see what the deal was with her. She was a bit more than I had wanted originally to spend. However she is more of what I originally set out to purchase. After a quick once over I easily spotted a big repair that had been done in a rather shoddy way. Once I realized that I went to the sales rep and showed him and asked him how they planned to handle the situation. He said since there wasn’t ever any accident reported during the previous ownership. This being the case he wasn’t able to bring the price down.
I feel like your company is trying to take people's kind and trusting manners and make a buck or two. The fact this repair was easily spotted by me as quick as it was, means that there is no possible way your employees didn’t take not take notice and make a concerted effort to compensate the price for the damage and also make me feel better.

My car buying experience with DriveTime was very positive. The environment was friendly and welcoming. I went in to upgrade my car that I had purchased from DriveTime 3 years earlier. Jason was my salesperson in the west Chicago area.

I wish I had enough time and space to share the type of review I would like, just so people understood the type of difference the employees at Drive Time made in my life in a matter of a day. I went a year without a car after giving mine up for a divorce to lose the last bit of connection with the ex, followed by bankruptcy with nothing but Murphy’s Law trailing me the entire way.
I started working three jobs and busting my ass to get another car and get my life back on the right path. I purchased a new vehicle at another dealership and had it for a month with no A/C and emails and calls in, only to have them call me and tell me to bring it back because of discrepancies that were done on their end.I gladly agreed to bring the vehicle back and contacted DriveTime right away because of their reviews. I work for a five star company so I know it’s possible and they were close enough for me.

The purchase process was stressful. I had 3 different sales personnel involved in their purchase process. The vehicles exterior appeared clean. But door jams, hood and trunk body molds inside were filthy. two tire rims were damaged and their personnel would not address and help in repair. Said, they meet our standard.

My salesmen was great, got me taken care of quickly, answered all my questions etc. Only gripe I have was when I called I told them I didn't want to waste my time going to the dealership if we couldn't make a deal so they ran my credit, got all my numbers together and called me back to let me know we were good and that my payment was going to be 471. Got to the dealership the next day, started signing paperwork and it jumped up (I don't remember the exact amount). When I said something the salesman said that all he does is print out what's in the computer but he said he would print it out again and see if any thing changed... Well the numbers went down but not as low as what I was quoted over the phone. That was my only complaint. The truck was nice, the salesman was great. I was in and out quickly.

The car was what I was looking for but I have a problem with people who lie and tell you what you want to hear to sell you a car. I paid over 25k for a car and I never heard of a place that does not clean or detail a car for their customers. The sales rep told me he would see what he could do but when I arrived to complete my paperwork the car was still sitting there dirty and when I asked why the car was not clean and if I could get a detail, the sales rep told me that unfortunately they don't do details or clean the cars, so why the heck would you tell someone that you would see what you could do and why would you not clean a car for a customer who forks out over 25k for a used car!!
Lastly, my sales rep said he would fill up my tank with gas so I assumed he would at least do that. When the sales rep handed me my keys I asked him about the gas he promised me and he said ok and took the keys back from me and went to the gas station and to my surprise, when I thought he had done what he had promised when he gave me back the car I noticed the gas tank was only filled up halfway!! Never will I purchase a car from this place again with this type of service!!! Totally Ridiculous!!

I would’ve given 5 stars, but at the end of purchasing the vehicle I am stuck with making biweekly payments instead of monthly payments. With the vehicle I picked it wasn’t explained that I would have to make biweekly payments otherwise I would’ve selected another vehicle. I had so much trouble finding car insurance for the car, so when I was told about the payments I couldn’t just pick another vehicle. I didn’t have a choice but to keep the vehicle and I didn’t like that feeling. I should’ve stuck with the guy I originally spoke with. At least he was more knowledgeable than the guy I worked with.

If you are looking for something reliable or durable. Then avoid Drive time at all costs. I have been living in car buyers Hell for the past year due to multiple failed attempts at trying to get DriveTime to fix their wrongs. My vehicle may look pretty on the outside, or at least from what you can see. Although truthfully, there’s nothing beautiful about it. The whole undercarriage of the vehicle is completely rusted out. To the point that it is like pulling teeth to find a mechanic to touch it, or let alone, put it on one of their racks. You know it’s something when Jeep says the vehicle should have been auctioned for parts. You know what DriveTime's response to them “Jeep,” and the previous mechanics, Precision Auto Tune, Precision Auto Care, AutoZone and multiple Firestones was? Repairs Denied or She reported this last year and we denied repairs.
They offered to cover the work to put on a bracket. Every time leaving me with a bill of over $1000 worth of work. In today’s economy do you think that’s really something affordable, when I’m already paying them over $500 a month. Especially for a vehicle with damages that I did not cause. The vehicle isn’t down from user wear and tear. The vehicle is falling apart from the undercarriage. So, now I’m coming to the Internet for a bigger platform. Until they make this right. I was told if I mentioned anything legal all calls must stop. No longer will they silence me. Or try and force a repossession on me. I haven’t been able to drive my vehicle over 3 miles without it quitting on me. I have toddlers, that have been in this vehicle when it stopped. Would you put your family in this?

BUYERS BEWARE. Don’t I repeat DON'T buy from Drivetime. They get you with the fine print and what you sign on the loan application. They are a horrible company to buy a car at. They can demand you to provide documentation at any point and only give you 24 hrs to do so. Or they make you return the vehicle, but they put it as repo on you as you’re at fault. Then when they refund you your down payment you have to pay $1 for every mile if it’s sales for enough at auto auction. Then they say you owe the rest. They don’t call. They email about the needed documents. They don’t try and help at all. I’m pretty sure they are scamming people like this daily. Management doesn’t help nor care. So $1400 down the drain along with whatever more they say I owe after it auction off. For a car I had 11 days.

There is not much that I despise more than trying to buy a car. I have not had any good experiences doing so. I went to buy a vehicle one time and was at the dealership for over 8 hours. This experience was so much better. I provided all my information, which was reviewed prior to going to the dealership. I was given a choice of any vehicle on the lot and told what my down payment would be for each vehicle. I went to the dealership, picked out the vehicle, test drove it and signed all paperwork, all within 1.5 hours. Easiest and least stressful car purchasing event I’ve ever had!!!

My husband went to DriveTime to get a car. Initially, the sales rep Bryan was super nice and kind and made my husband feel comfortable. My husband tried several cars, all of which had serious issues, and right before my husband was going to leave the sales rep said "I pulled your credit and found you something." It was a beautiful car, I will admit. However, he didn't talk through all the extra things he was adding to the price, like TWO different gap insurances equaling over 5k. He also didn't tell my husband that the payments were biweekly, not monthly. You'd think that would be something you would say to you customer, don't you think? That their payments are actually twice as much as you had promised them. When I tell you I will never buy from Drivetime again, I mean it. Now I'm on the hook for a car that's twice the price because it was the only car that was decent and didn't have any problems on the test drive. Also, the price on your website isn't the price of the car. It's nearly twice that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This also showed that he cared and was not eager to push us off, while he assisted new customers, especially with how busy they were, that day.

Our third and final day was absolutely stress free and exciting. We were instantly welcomed again, by Jovarny. Being everyone else was assisting other customers Jovarny approached us and told us that he would be doing our final walkthrough/checklist.

Car had sticky goo on a lot of interior. Crumbs all over rear compartments. Smells like mildew after sitting for a night. Rear bumper hitch cover was not aligned and looked as if it was falling off. Seal around sunroof was not attached (I had to reattach - I found this out when the car was poured water inside the car). No floor mats. Dirt and sand in all cracks of seats. Cars gas light came on when leaving DriveTime. We drove 5 hours to get this car and I've spent a total of 3 hours cleaning so far. I will have to spend $150 on floormats and another $300 to get mildew smell and dirt/sand out. I assumed that spending 27k would at least get me a full tank of gas and a fully detailed car.

Customer service was excellent. However, I have never bought a vehicle that only had a quarter of a tank of gas. Also I was told by the general manager that the car had been washed but once I seen it the next morning after purchase because I purchased it at night, it wasn't clean at all. However, the inside was very clean.

Hello Keniona,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear you experienced a mechanical concern soon after your purchase.
We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. It's important to keep in mind that all our vehicles are pre-owned and inspected before placing them on our lots. While they go through an inspection, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. For this reason, we provide a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles. We also have an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations there-after.
In addition to these coverages, we offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers the opportunity to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle, they can bring it back within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).
We certainly appreciate your feedback and apologize once again for any inconvenience this caused. Please reach out to our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148 should you have any questions.
Respectfully,
DriveTime Customer Relations

I was highly satisfied with the DriveTime staff. I especially liked dealing with Dana and Averell. They were both extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. They were upfront and I liked the fact we could drive any vehicle we were interested in. Plus my boyfriend and I got to drive the vehicle by ourselves. The privacy was very much appreciated. What a great way to confidentially go over vehicle, financial and personal information, as we tried out the vehicle, without someone other listening. I liked the fact the car had low mileage and a warranty. Overall we were truly pleased with the quick turnaround time and the kindness showed to us.

We bought a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse. They advertise that it’s a quick buying experience. Although we had already spent 3-4 hours the evening before providing all of our information. Then the next day we went to Drivetime in Rivergate-Madison Tennessee. We spent another 3-4 hours there. We liked a vehicle at a North Birmingham Alabama location. But we were told the vehicle could not be sent to a dealer closer than that 4-4:30 hour drive from Robertson County TN. So we settled with a vehicle on the lot.
Our salesperson Arianna was nice and told us our vehicle was going to be detailed and filled up with gas while we waited. The vehicle was dirty and we asked nicely for it to be cleaned and for the gas tank to be full while still signing paperwork electronically. The “detailing of the vehicle” we waited for an hour over ended up being a wipe down literally it looked like with just a wet rag and a little vacuuming. Then we look at the gas gauge. It’s on less than a quarter of a tank of gas. So we speak directly to the manager of Drivetime Madison, TN.
His name is Justin ** at 1540 Gallatin Pike North Madison., TN 37115. He told us in the rudest way possible as we’re about to drive off with our vehicle with enough gas to get home?? He says rudely “we are only allowed to put $10 gas in the vehicle when purchased.” Then we mentioned how dirty the vehicle was and he once again rudely said “well we do not fully detail the cars. There are car washes you know?!” I was appalled by this and was so tired of being there I just gave up and went straight across the street to the gas station and paid $45 dollars to fill the tank up. Was he lazy and rude? Yes. All of this was AFTER my fiancé walked very hard into the clear glass with only shades pulled up next to the doors going in and out.
Why would you only pull shades up next to the doors where it looks as if the doors are open. Her drink cup busted and went all over her clothes and shoes and all they had to say was “this actually happens all the time.” So needless to say this story is from end to beginning. The ONLY good thing was all the great things Arianna said would be done to our used vehicle that was so dirty and instead of after all this leaving that lot with a clean, shiny car, we left with less than a quarter tank of gas and a smeared dirty SUV.
My fiancé had several seizures after leaving that day. I found her in the kitchen floor and then whilst getting ready to either call an ambulance or hurry and drive her to the Emergency Room. She had another seizure on the bed. She suffered a concussion, a migraine, bit tongue and more. So next time maybe they will treat people right. Not joke about people running into the glass pane floor to ceiling glass. Do as they say they will and it doesn’t take much to make us happy. This was overall a horrible experience!
Hello Richard,
We greatly appreciate the time you have taken to rate your DriveTime experience. I am saddened to hear you were dissatisfied with the condition of your desired vehicle.
Please know that all DriveTime vehicles pass through a multi-point inspection, where they are detailed to meet DriveTime standards before transporting them to our sales lots. I would also like to note that most of our dealerships that do not have a detailing location on site will have a mobile detailer routinely come in for any necessary touch-ups. We are sorry if the cleanliness of the vehicle you purchased was not up to DriveTime standards and left you feeling dissatisfied.
In regards to the fuel amount, DriveTime ensures all vehicles have an adequate amount of gas before driving off the sales lot to ensure our customers arrive at their desired destination. If this was not the case, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148 to address this.
I want to thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. If you have any additional concerns you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations team at the number above, and a team member will be glad to assist.
Sincerely,
DriveTime Customer Relations

Had major issues with the car. Called the manager of the New Castle store. He treated me with disdain, talked over me as I tried to explain the situation.

You return the car, they give you a check in 7-10 business days (2 WEEKS!) His explanation? Well then I had to go get the check from my bank! I had to point out that I did not have the car, yet! Another issue: they keep one of the key fobs. So be careful, they have your address AND an extra key to your car!!
