I needed a car, and my credit is not stellar. I've made mistakes, but I've taken responsibility and am making better choices and meeting my commitments. I applied online and was told I was approved for every car in the lot with NO down payment. It was an unexpected and emergent purchase. I found the car I wanted and was then told I needed 2200.00 as a down payment. This took the wind out of my sails and the joy of the purchase. I settled for a car that wasn't even something I'd looked at. And, on top of that, it was dirty, and I was told they couldn't clean it up before I took it off the lot. If the situation were different, I would not have purchased the car. They should be upfront with details, especially when a representative calls you after your online application is approved.
Hello Cassandra,
We thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We regret to hear that you are dissatisfied with the final approval options that were offered. We do our best to provide all our customers with a variety of options tailored to their individual needs and budget.
We look at four factors when it comes to the overall financing options. That includes your income, credit score, and the vehicle you select, which can affect that fourth factor, the required down payment. We accept outside financing as well if you are not satisfied with the approval options offered by our financing partner, Bridgecrest.
We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle or financial terms, the vehicle may be returned within the first 5 business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays) and terminate the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract. The VRP guidelines are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.
Should you have any questions, please contact us at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to assist.
Kindly,

I’m pay 44000 for a 2015 Chevy Malibu which cost 15,000. The sticker price said 17,000. I’ve literally been into brand new cars before which both were totaled. I was trying to humble myself but just going to the used car lot instead of purchasing a brand new one. If they had said this before me paying the down payment I’d change my mind from the start. It seems to be a excellent car though.
Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I understand you are dissatisfied with the pricing of our vehicles.
Please know that the total sales price is affected by the market value of the desired vehicle. The market value populates automatically and can potentially change based on the specific location of the dealership. By offering a non-negotiating price on our inventory, we ensure that all our customers receive the same great value.
We try to maintain a sense of transparency by providing each customer with a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price. It is also important to mention that our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner.
I apologize once more if this has negatively impacted your experience. We would love another opportunity to have you as a customer in the future. Should you have questions regarding our inventory, I would encourage you to visit your local dealership.
Best regards,
DriveTime Customer Relations

I purchased the vehicle for $29000 with $5000 down. When I went to pick the vehicle up a large amount of smoke came from the exhaust when I started it and every time I started it thereafter. I called the next day to let them know. They insisted it was because it was cold outside and perhaps the vehicle had just been sitting. 2 weeks later as me and my kids are driving to a festival the check engine light and low oil pressure light comes on.
I immediately pull over to google what that means and how serious it was. Google said it was one of the worst things that can happen to that vehicle so I called DriveTime right away. They gave me a shop to take it to. We went to firestone as told and firestone said the vehicle had less than 1/3 of a quart of oil and it appeared as tho the vehicle had never had an oil change and recommended the entire engine be flushed. The cost of the oil change was $106 and they did not do engine flushes at their facility and recommend I find someone that does. I then called drivetime to tell them what the report said. They said they would not reimburse me for the oil and that I would have to pay that myself.
The following day I have to take my kids home to their mother which is a 90 min drive each direction. While on I4 the same things happens, however this time we are on a busy highway and I am not about to risk the safety of my kids' lives and be on the side of I4 with cars doing 80+ MPH so I drove to the nearest exit and parked the vehicle at 7-11 and Hilton Hotel. My ex had to drive to come get the kids and I had to take an uber home, $58 dollars later I make it home.
The following day I let DriveTime know what had happened and they said its under SilverRock warranty to call them to handle it. SilverRock said to tow it to the nearest facility and that once again I needed to pay for that. $177 to tow the vehicle in which they said they will reimburse $75 of that cost. I then had to fex ex the keys to the shop which was another $38. Upon calling Drive Time they said they will not reimburse me. I told them if they would pay for the last tow to Nissan I would not file complaints or hire an attorney, their pride and lack of customer service is leading to a lawsuit! My attorney said he deals w/ them all the time and they are the worst of the worst!

Due to lack of communication, the vehicle I wanted was already sold. I had scheduled a test drive on 2/10. I was not told I had to place a deposit on the vehicle. Then to add to my frustration, your email system was not receiving emails sent from my phone to your office with me sitting right there. Hence I was there for several hours, and still had a two hour drive home. I drove from Muncie, Indiana to Fairfield, Ohio to test drive and purchase the vehicle.

We had an excellent experience with Drivetime. It was a huge relief to find a vehicle in the price range we were looking for without the need to haggle down to that price. It took longer than we expected but we were on our way home with our new-to-us vehicle in less than 24 hours. The space was clean, the sales staff extended hospitality to us while we waited. I recommend this business. Jakobe did a good job.

The truck I purchased is great, it's sad that according to the dealership they did a full inspection on the truck but didn't mention it was missing the gas cap and it had a bolt stuck in the rear passenger tire that was a slow leak, but put a brand new but to small of a compressor to blow the tire up. It's a pity that they show the vehicles off in that condition. There is no spare tire nor jack to take the tire off for repair.

Hello Kathy,
Thank you for writing a review. I am deeply sorry if there were any concerns when verifying your proof of income. Please know that DriveTime strives to provide a secure and successful buying experience for all our customers.
Here at DriveTime, we understand that income may fluctuate based on employment or job duties. However, at this time, DriveTime is unable to accept any income that is generated through the commercial use of a vehicle as a source of budgeting for Bridgecrest financing, who is our loan servicing partner. An example of commercial use would include Ridesharing or On-demand food delivery. If you are not either of these, I would encourage you to follow up with your local dealership to further verify your income. Please know we would like for all our potential customers to know of their option to source outside financing as well.
We apologize once again if we were unable to offer you approval options at this time. Should you have any questions regarding the qualifications, please contact our Corporate Sales team at (800) 965-8042, and a representative will be glad to assist you.
Best wishes,

Hello Corrie,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I am torn to hear about the multiple mechanical issues you have had since you have purchased the vehicle.
Please know that we inspect each of our vehicles in an effort to avoid situations such as these. However, due to the nature of pre-owned vehicles, we are unable to predict when vehicle concerns arise after the time of sale. For this reason, each vehicle includes an initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, in addition to an optional Vehicle Service Contract that we offer at the time of sale for purchase.
That said, I want to apologize again for any frustration this situation has caused. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with us directly, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148.

Fresh out of training my sales rep Myranda was absolutely amazing. Not only was she one of the two sales associates on duty other than the manager. She was actually the only one dealing with multiple clients at one time. It was amazing to see her work at least for desks and never come back to my desk talking about someone else's situation. She knew right where we left off each time. She was down to earth pleasant friendly. What's the sale was nearly final she got the manager over... Of course he had to finalize everything and Martin got me out the door. It was a very pleasant car buying experience although it did kind of take a while from 11:30-2:20 but I didn't complain a bit because it was a great vibe and the energy was nice.

Hello Joseph,
We thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We regret to hear that you are dissatisfied with the final approval options that were offered. We do our best to provide all our customers with a variety of options tailored to their individual needs and budget.
We look at four factors when it comes to the overall financing options. That includes your income, credit score, and the vehicle you select, which can affect that fourth factor, the required down payment. We accept outside financing as well if you are not satisfied with the approval options offered by our financing partner, Bridgecrest.
We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle or financial terms, the vehicle may be returned within the first 5 business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays) and terminate the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract. The VRP guidelines are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.

DriveTime in Bridge Crest also they own the warranty company that they sell you when you buy the car. Be careful. They will not honor the warranty. I had no late payments, no issues and paid out of the pocket for the repairs that I had when I tried to use the warranty. They would not honor it because it was a dealer repair, and they said they would not honor the warranty because they don’t deal with the dealerships, also the vehicle that I bought had a lot of issues that they knew existed.

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I am torn to hear that you encountered mechanical concerns shortly after purchase.
Please know that we inspect each of our vehicles in an effort to avoid situations such as these. However, due to the nature of pre-owned vehicles, we are unable to predict when vehicle concerns arise after the time of sale. For this reason, each vehicle includes an initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, in addition to an optional Vehicle Service Contract that we offer at the time of sale for purchase.
That said, I want to apologize again for any frustration this situation has caused. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with us directly, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148.

I recently purchased a car with Drivetime I am so happy and thrilled with Christian. She is amazing. A great customer sales lady but the staff no way. They took me through a loophole after I signed all my paperwork. They tried to make me do all my paperwork over again. Would not give me my car, so I had to come in a following day to do to sign paperwork that I already signed so we ended up doing the paperwork over for no reason. Then my car was not washed and was on half a tank of gas. The car should be washed and filled with gas! And then the day I had to do my paperwork I felt rushed but they told me the store's closing at 6:00 but when I was leaving it was two other ladies in there that they were showing so much attention to and they ended up not even buying a vehicle. So don't get me wrong. I love Christian as a salesperson but drivetime y'all need to straighten up and treat all customers fair and equal.

DriveTime Used Cars. 2225 N Dupont Hwy, New Castle, Used car dealer. The worse experience I've ever had in my life!! The purchase and sales of the vehicle went well until I left the lot and the engine light came on and the car started bouncing all over the place and stalling while I was driving. Went through warranty SilverRock and had it serviced 4 times to fix the engine and safety issues all while not having a car to work, care for my son and try to keep life balanced. Upon taking it to a dealership approved by warranty I was told by the mechanic that the frame was rusted beyond safety standards and would never be safe to drive or tag. After some further talk I was told that it's apparent that someone had spray painted the rust and gas lines that were about to burst at any minute.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS DONE TO HELP ME DEAL WITH BEING CAR LESS. This is still going on 2 months later sending me letters to sign over my right to review this company (not happening). I'M a big google reviewer and the living hell they have caused me and my family needs to be known to avoid other people to have to go through the same thing in these most difficult times for all of us.. So rather than just return my money and void the sale they want to keep payments I've made, give me my deposit back and never shop with them again as if I did something wrong for just wanting what's fair and required by the 2015 Consumer rights law that includes vehicles.
I have always been able to work out things like this with ZERO HASSLE especially when the business is at fault. DO NOT.... AND I MEAN DO NOT trust this business!!!! The honesty and shadiness is truly unbelievable! I have no clue how they even start to think they are right with my service records, all the driving to 3 different shops 5 different times and a professional mechanic from the dealership calling out what quite frankly seems criminal to me and will be addressed accordingly.

Hello Ralphiel,
Thank you for reaching out and 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.

The interaction we received via phone and email initially in preparation for our visit to the DriveTime in Plymouth Meeting, PA was productive and pleasant. However, on the day when we were on site to view the vehicle in person and to complete the process, that pleasant experience had ended and instead we had a somewhat sterile and cold interaction with the representative who assisted us - we felt like our transaction was just another task that they were completing. It wasn't bad, but there was no personality, pleasantries, or even courtesy.
Additionally, the "reconditioning" practiced at this location appeared to be half-hearted with obvious cleaning product being sprayed in the interior of the vehicle, but not wiped off thoroughly, and an extremely heavy reliance on air fresheners. Worst of all, the air fresheners used were so acrid and aggressive that the only comparison I can make is that they had the smell of urinal cakes and moth balls. I removed no less than ten of these air fresheners from the interior of a CUV on the ride home - an excessive amount by any measure - along with a canister of "air freshener fogger". If this is the recommended approach to "reconditioning" vehicles, I would strongly suggest reconsidering this practice, especially if those urinal cake smelling air fresheners are the recommended product to use.

Hello Richard,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. I am disheartened to hear you have concerns regarding the quality of our inventory in addition to your vehicle not coming equipped with a spare tire.
I want to assure you that all our pre-owned vehicles are mechanically inspected, and all fluids are checked prior to being placed on our sales lots.

Since we are unable to determine when mechanical concerns might arise, each vehicle is sold with a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty. As you mentioned, we also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for purchase to assist in most situations after that.
In regards to the spare tire, not all automobiles have a spare tire included. DriveTime will include an inflation kit for good measure, if the vehicle was not equipped with a spare tire.

We like the vehicle. We were duped into a sale though. We both qualified for zero down and (max $342/month) and ended up paying WAY more. Our vehicle was DIRTY!!!! We were harassed about the warranty and extras. We left with a half tank of gas... HALF TANK!!!! PATHETIC!!!! Not happy about buying experience and will not be back and tell everyone not to even bother.

They sold me a 2012 Kia Rio and they charged my mom who is 74. And she drove it home from Laurel Dealership DRIVETIME to Taneytown MD. And and soon as she got to 796 the lights when out and the radio and back up camera. So they basically told her she was screwed.
Hello Antony,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your review. We are truly sorry to hear your mom experienced a mechanical concern so 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.

When I applied on the site it said my downpayment would be $195. When I got there it ended up being $1000+. False advertisement because they said that's what it would be. I was very disillusioned. They should say online that itay be your downpayment.
Hello Carol,
We thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We regret to hear that you are dissatisfied with the final approval options that were offered. We do our best to provide all our customers with a variety of options tailored to their individual needs and budget.
We look at four factors when it comes to the overall financing options. That includes your income, credit score, and the vehicle you select, which can affect that fourth factor, the required down payment. We accept outside financing as well if you are not satisfied with the approval options offered by our financing partner, Bridgecrest.
We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle or financial terms, the vehicle may be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays) and terminate the Simple Interest Retail Installment Contract. The VRP guidelines are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.
Should you have any questions, please contact us at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to assist.

Bought a car from Drivetime, my second one since our experience was so good the first time... Equally for the second time, but their loan group is horrible. I am not sure what happened, but evidently my down payment went through in March, but somehow got retracted over a month later. Bridgecrest stated they tried to call me 3 times and I never called back. I did call back as I only received 1 voicemail and the person I called 3 days in a row, 3 times a day leaving messages into the voicemail, would never call me back.
On the 4th day he finally picked up the phone and as we were speaking he said the voicemails are not answered. Also asked for my address and stated it was not the address they had on file.... Ha, that was a load of crap because they came to my address to repo the car. I asked what needs to get done to get my car back (this was all over $600.00) he said nothing, they don't work like that. Once they repo it, they evaluate it and also allow you to get your personal belongings. What a joke!!! Never again will I go through them....
Hello Tami,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We are truly sorry to hear your vehicle was recovered and for any issues that occurred with your down payment.

All I can say is buyer be very aware. We brought a 2017 Ford Fusion and after two weeks we had issues with the horn. Fortunately, the warranty did correct the issue. Silver Rock was great, they asked the dealer we carried the car to, to do a full multi-point inspection. Ford found major issues with the motor and it had to be replaced. Fortunately, Ford covered the new motor under warranty, so far I'm satisfied. However, the day we picked it up, it was raining and we found issues with the sunroof leaking. Silver Rock nor DriveTime will do anything about it. Which I can understand, however, I was sold a lemon car and DriveTime flat out refuses to do anything to satisfy me, the customer. There is no way they inspected the car as they say and not found the motor issue.
That car should not have ever been on the lot to be sold. All it would take to satisfy me is pay the cost to replace the sunroof, only $700 dollars, but DriveTime flat refuses. Saying the car was inspected and they didn't find issue. Obviously, they didn't inspect the car, or they did and still decided to sell hoping the customer wouldn't notice. I will not buy or recommend doing any kind of business with them. They do not support the customer after the final sale. More interested in selling cars than satisfying the customer. I'll never buy from them again. Bad experience. But I will say the sales staff at the dealership we brought it from was very nice and friendly, I'll give credit where credit is due.
Hello Jim,
We appreciate you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear of the mechanical concerns you have experienced with your vehicle.
Please know that all pre-owned vehicles go through an inspection in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns before placing them on our lots. With them being pre-owned, we are unable to predict if or when mechanical malfunctions might arise. To ease the potential impact on our customers, every vehicle comes with a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract that assists in most situations. It is important to know that if the required repairs are determined to be non-covered components, they would be considered the customers’ cost of ownership.
In addition to these coverages, we also have a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

So after getting approved for 23% car loan, I drive an hour to the dealership, when I get there they have "my" car ready to go, except it's not the same car as I reserved. No problem. We find my "reserved car" on the lot. The salesman brings a over for me to test drive. Perfect just the one I want. Get in it and see the ABS light in on & the traction control light is on. Well screw that (they wouldn't let me take it Anyway). So here I am stuck at the lot, I took a bus down there, so I look at other cars of the same model and year. Find one that is a 2020, or 19 that has only 36k miles that would work for me, it's $2k more in price, but ** it I need a car. And Drive Time is the only one that will finance me cause of my ** credit. So we do the deal and I leave for home. I noticed about 45 min into the trip home it's not running right.
I get off the interstate and the check engine light comes on and it is shaking a bit. I get home and get out looking it over and noticed that the front & rear bumper covers are popping out at the point where they meet the fenders. Upon closer look I noticed that there was some paint over spray on some spots of the vehicle, front & and rear bumper covers. Also I noticed the paint doesn't quite match. This POS came with a clear CARFAX, no accident reported. I then scan the cars OBD11 port with scan tool, brings up a P0301 code which is cylinder misfire, permanent code. How do I know all this stuff? I was a auto dealer in MN. for 8 years. Also owned a salvage yard, and bought, built, and sold close to 4000 cars in that 8 years. So I know a thing about cars, etc.
Ok so on the way back to the dealership the car would not go faster than 58 mph. Shaking bat ** crazy, it was running on 2,3 cylinders finally make it to the dealership, pretty pissed off. Fast forward. I find another car that will work for me, we redo all the paperwork and I'm signing it and noticed that the interest rate now jumps to 26.something %. WTF? 3 points. Wasn't told prior to making this new deal, but you all have me bent over, had to get a car, so I signed it.
Well you all might want to fix that back down to where the first POS rate was, because I will bring this story to light. Any social media platform I can get my hands on. I'm a Disabled Veteran who lost his left arm And this is the way you all do me? Not a good visual one would think. Someone should call me ASAP. **. I have all the pictures in my text messages with my sales man Arron, he might still have them or I can forward them to you, or go see that turd at the lot, I'm sure it's still there.

If any of these items were applicable, they would be notated in the vehicle information section of the Experian Auto Check History Report.
Lastly, another way we try to maintain a sense of transparency is by providing each customer with a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price.

The amount of loan is basically purchasing a new car and the sneaky way they add their add on in without informing you and asking if you would like to purchase the add on. Instead of your loan decreasing after 3 full payments your loan increases and shows on your credit as a missed payment. So, I’d suggest you read the fine lines of your documents before signing. Wish I had someone to tell me that because now I’m stuck with a 6 yr loan. Ridiculous.
Hello Burnadette,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that you are feeling misled concerning your loan.
Please know that we aim to maintain a sense of transparency by providing each customer with a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price. It is also important to mention that our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner.
While purchasing the optional ancillary products is always encouraged due to the safety net they provide in various situations, we make it a point to ensure complete transparency with our optional add-ons. One of which ways that we strive to accomplish this goal is by providing an optional product disclosure at the time of sale. This disclosure details all the optional items available and is designed to aid our customers in distinguishing them from those that are mandatory.
Lastly, we offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle or loan terms, the vehicle may be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

I had a great experience with Drivetime and the salesperson Andrew. He took his time to make sure I understood everything about the car and the sake. He was outstanding. 5 Gold stars is what I would give him. He deserves a raise.

Derrick, who apparently was new (I wouldn’t have guessed) because it seemed like he been there for a while and knew exactly what he was doing!!! He was able to find me the same car with cheaper payments. I recommend everyone go see him over at DriveTime!!!

My experience started with online financing to driving to the dealership to find my new car. The manager introduced me to Katie. What a delight. The process was quick. I told her the down payment amount and the type of vehicle I needed. She asked me if I had a preferred color! Are you serious. Then she found it. Sweet, patient and professional! Thank you Katie!

Very few selections. Customer service was pleasant. Got the car and it needs an oil change. Why would I be given a car that needs oil change? Car was not washed. The car was little too pricey. Very little to choose from.
