Townsend was great and went over all options with me, the only issues I have are that the car I purchased is dirty inside and out, there is no gas in the vehicle and the USB port as well as the Bluetooth are not working.
Hello Bethany,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and bringing this to our attention. I apologize if you felt dissatisfied with the condition of your vehicle.
Please know 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. We also make our best effort to ensure our vehicles are presentable at the time of sale, and I want to apologize if this was not the case with your vehicle.
In reference to your USB and Bluetooth concerns, while our pre-owned vehicles 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. If you haven't already, I encourage you to contact SilverRock at 877-584-3848 to further assist with your USB and Bluetooth concerns.
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, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).
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 contact our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148, and a team member will be glad to assist.

Hello Ryan,
Thank you for submitting a review. I apologize if you felt dissatisfied with the structure of your finance contract and misled in any way.
Please know that 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. Once contracts are signed and finalized, the terms do not change. 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.
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 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.
That said, I want to thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. Should you have any questions regarding your loan terms, I would encourage you to contact Bridgecrest Customer Service at (800) 967-8526.
Respectfully,

Hello Robert,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I am torn to hear that you encountered brake 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. Repairs such as brakes are typically covered under our Limited Warranty with failure confirmed. If you haven't already, we encourage you to contact SilverRock, our warranty, at 877-584-3848 for further assistance.
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).

I had Joel as a salesman and spoke to LJ the manager. I looked up vehicles that I was interested in and went to the dealership to test drive the Chevy Traverse. Joel sprayed the car down before pulling it around because I saw soap on the back, no big deal. What was an issue was the noise the car made as he pulled up. Despite the noise I test drove the car and the noise got louder when I accelerated. Same noise sitting idle at a traffic light. Went back to and then test drove a Ford Explorer. I called this the Shaggy mobile because it seemed as if Scooby-Doo and his family rode in this car frequently.
My husband wiped the seat out I only drove 3 lights in comparison to the loud bomber this rode smooth, didn't have any loud noises, I liked how it sits up higher and was better looking. I couldn't take sitting in the truck much longer with all the dog hair. I decided to go with the Shaggy mobile and the Mgr said that they would have the car detailed, I left the car there with hopes it would be done in 1 day. I called the next day and Lj said the car was done, they did a thorough scrubbing but the seats were wet so maybe wait a day. I said no we'll come get it and I will bring towels. I sent my husband and son to pick up the vehicle and got a call that I needed to come because I didn't sign the contract. Here's where the editing of the first review comes in.
If I decided to take the car the previous night how would that had happen if I didn't sign the contract, who would be at fault for me not signing the contract? So now I have to drive 50 minutes back to the dealership to sign papers I should've signed the night before with the 20 other ones that I did sign. When I pull up I see bird poop on the car that was there the day before. How when it was detailed? Maybe they just did the inside since that was the main focus. I had a rental however finally got in the car today. A single dog hair on the front seat. I explained my daughter is allergic and she would not be able to ride in the vehicle like that. After seeing that I decided to further inspect because my son informed me that the seats weren't wet, so I assumed all they did was vacuum the car.
Well DriveTime in Owings Mills couldn't even do that! Nothing was done to the vehicle as there is dog hair in the headrest, near the seat belts, when you pull up the 3rd row it's clear nothing was done. As I drop the 3rd row it wasn't even vacuumed as you see dirt particles bounce. I took videos and pictures and told Lj they did not detail my car. He told me I will not call him a liar because he knows that he saw them spraying down the seats. I told him it must've been imaginary water because the seats weren't wet and the truck wasn't cleaned. He said that I could bring it back and he could get his other guy to clean it. 1. I don't trust that it will get done since he LIED and said it was thoroughly scrubbed the first time. 2.
I would have to take off work to drive 50 minutes away for them to clean the car that should not have been on the lot to begin with looking the way it did on the inside. If I did not desperately need a vehicle I would've kindly given that back. I now have to come out of my pocket to have the truck detailed correctly. I in no shape form or fashion recommend this dealership by what they put out on the lot shows how much they value the people that come through their doors. Not only my daughter's allergies but we are still in a pandemic due to covid, if you don't even try to clean the inside you don't care about the health and safety of the workers or customers and families. With the cost of the cars on this lot a permanent detail person. They have plenty of work to do from the 3 cars I looked at.
Hello Taia,
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 deeply sorry if the cleanliness of the vehicle you purchased was not up to DriveTime standards and left you feeling dissatisfied.
I want to thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will provide the necessary feedback to ensure our inventory is presentable for our customers. If you have any additional concerns you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148, and a team member will be glad to assist.

Raneta was one of the most thorough and knowledgeable persons I have ever met in life. Honestly I don't know why she isn't a manager of her own dealership. As far as quality control goes Drivetime needs to terminate all of its inspectors and get new ones that have basic mechanical experience. I have noticed a lot of battery issues.
The Temple Hills location was full of them. Either the batteries that are installed are not the proper batteries. Or batteries are being removed and charged and placed back in vehicles overcharged. My car had a vacuum leak which I could identify that's how loud it was. Transmission fluid was low. Oil definitely should have been changed. Oil filter had not been changed. Fuel filter had not been changed. The air filter had not been changed. I am like omg so Drive time is selling cars as is, with a good clean up. I am keeping the car because it deserves a better owner. Fingers crossed my car passes Maryland inspection.

I needed a vehicle and called Drive Time in Tampa, FL to get "pre-approved". They informed me of my credit score and actually told me it was better than a 100 points lower than it actually was. I immediately viewed my credit score on all three credit bureaus is how I know what it was and is. The representative (I won't embarrass him by name) informed me that I would need to put about half of the price of the vehicle I was interested in down to purchase a vehicle from them. This had to be the biggest insult I have ever heard. If I had $15,000.00 to put as a down payment, I surely wouldn't have called them. I went to the Tampa CU Auto Branch and bought a newer vehicle with NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET, got a great interest rate and with credit union financing. Drive Time should be financially penalized for lying to and misleading consumers.
Hello Wayne,
Thank you for submitting a review. We sincerely apologize if you are feeling disappointed with the required down payment for the vehicle selected. We want to assure you that we make our best effort to provide our customers with a clear set of expectations going into the approval process.
Please know that any approval offers are dependent on the customer documentation provided directly to the dealership, such as proof of income, proof of residence, credit score, and the desired vehicle also plays a factor. Once our customer selects their desired vehicle, we will be able to determine the required down payment for that specific vehicle.

Overpriced vehicles but I guess that is to be expected. The experience was good though. Customer service was good and quick. He gave me options to make it work to get e vehicle I wanted. I was just very disappointed in the online form in their website that asked for my social and then said $100 down. Went I came in, it changed to $1000. So beware and have more money on you because the down payment changes from what they quote online. It is a fake sales tactic to get you in the store.

I purchased a vehicle from Drivetime on May 7th 2022. I had to bring the vehicle to the mechanic already 3x. It started not even a week and half I purchased the vehicle. The check engine light keeps coming on and blinking. The car also shakes constantly. I called Drivetime explaining the situation. I even have proof from Aamco. The warranty company was notified of the situation of the misfires. Due to the engine I can't drive the car until this is completed which I was told I might need a new engine. Drivetime refused to work with me and give me another vehicle or even my money back that is supposed to be under the 30 day lemon law which it has been under 30 days. I am financing this car paying a lot for a car I cannot drive. I am a single mother paying my own way with everything working 2 jobs. I don't deserve this. No one deserves this. Something has to be done. This is unfair to myself and my children. Please help me.
Hello Maria,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are deeply sorry for the mechanical concerns you experienced after your purchase.
We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. Please know 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. We would like to mention that the coverages we offer include Rental Reimbursement for every 8 hours of labor at a daily rate of up to $30/day up to $300 per breakdown on Covered Components.
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 apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Please reach out to our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148 should you have any questions.

Hello Shaud,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am deeply sorry that you felt misled regarding the quality of our inventory and for any mechanical concerns you encountered after purchase.
Please know all our vehicles are inspected prior to the sale in an effort to prevent situations of mechanical concerns. While they go through an initial inspection to ensure that it meets our standards, there are some instances in which mechanical malfunctions may occur post-sale. We are unable to determine when components will fail. For this reason, each of our vehicles includes the initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty to ease the potential impact on our customers. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for additional peace of mind. It is important to know that if the repairs needed on the vehicle are determined to be non-covered components, they would be considered the customers’ cost of ownership.
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, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).
I apologize again for any frustration this might have caused. Should you wish to discuss your concerns further, we welcome you to contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will have glad to assist.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are truly sorry you experienced a mechanical concern after your purchase.
We do understand how valuable everyone’s time is, and mechanical concerns are never ideal. I want to assure you that we do our best to try and prevent our customers from having any mechanical worries. It is important to keep in mind, that all the vehicles we sell are pre-owned and some vehicles may show more wear than others. While our vehicles are inspected prior to placing them on our lots, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. It is for this reason that DriveTime provides a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles, at no cost to our customers. Should the vehicle have a mechanical failure or fall below the safety guidelines from inspection. As it is DriveTime’s goal to provide affordable and reliable vehicles to all our customers, we also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) for 5-years/50,000-miles to assist in most situations. It is important to keep in mind that the VSC does not cover maintenance or cosmetic items. Any time a customer may be experiencing a mechanical issue after purchase we would encourage them to contact our warranty provider, SilverRock, for the next steps aimed to resolve our customer's concerns.
In addition to the Limited Warranty of these services, we would like to remind you that we do offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP) which allows time for any customer 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 or 300 miles (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed and Sundays).

I took it back and got a refund which took 5 days to receive. She wanted me to pay $240 biweekly for 70 weeks which is 5 years after I put down 1,850. Worst experience of my life. Never ever go there. I truly give them 0 stars but I am forced to give them 1 to post this review.
Hello Vineshia,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and bringing this to our attention. I am truly sorry to hear you are feeling disappointed with your DriveTime experience and loan terms.
Please know that 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.
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, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).
We will certainly use your feedback for coaching and training opportunities to ensure our sales team goes over all contract terms at the time of sale to help answer any questions our customers may have. Should you wish to provide additional feedback, please contact our Customer Relations team directly at (888) 290-0148.
Sincerely,
DriveTime Customer Relations

I was skeptical about buying a car from lots for many reasons. But Drivetime, and their associates, helped me get into a car that is dependable and affordable. The staff, especially Ms ** at the Jacksonville location off Atlantic, were friendly and extremely helpful. As a first time car buyer, it was a great experience!

Zane worked with me for over 2 weeks to get into a vehicle within my budget. He had such a positive attitude throughout the entire process and I couldn’t be more grateful. After not having a vehicle for almost 4 months I finally got a ride!

Samuel ** from Taylor MI was very fantastic. You need more people like him. He was very professional! Even knowing that he let on that he had some personal issues. He did not let that get in his way of doing his job. Great Job on explaining the vehicle I bought and going over the car with me.
