The online approval process is possibly the best thing ever. No need to even waste your time at the dealership as the online process immediately tells you what you qualify for and the terms. Only minus is cars aren't always thoroughly checked for issues and repairs and price is not negotiable even with some cosmetic issues.

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. Be careful. You might buy a lemon from drivetime.
Hello Carlos,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I apologize to hear that you had mechanical concerns with 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. Should you have any questions about the coverage, we would encourage you to reach out to the Vehicle Service Contract administrator, SilverRock.
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.
Kindly,

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.
Hello Nakisha,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I truly apologize for the inconvenience this matter caused, we know everyone's time is of importance. Also please accept our apologies in reference to the condition of the vehicle upon delivery.
I want to assure you we aim to provide a quick and stream-lined car buying process for all our valued customers.

In reference to the cleanliness, 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.

Overall experience was great. Latisha ** is a very professional associate. Very smooth from start to finish. Only issue is I've had the truck for 24 hours, found out the headlight assembly on passenger side is broken, has a check engine light on. Now Autozone says is for fuel evaporator canister and the fuel cap light is now on. I replaced the fuel cap and that didn't solve the issue. The part is $200 for a fuel evap canister. I will be contacting the dealership today to address these issues as selling a truck worth 18k for $48,000 I feel it should be 100% in working order.

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. Stand by for updates to my review. You can always check out my 100s of google reviews as I keep my reviews honest, to the point and hold businesses accountable for Good and Terrible services. Have a great day---But not there!!!1

Hello Bridget,
Thank you for sharing your review with us and showing interest in purchasing through DriveTime. I am sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the required down payment for the vehicle you selected.
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. Our potential customers also have the option to use outside financing if they find a vehicle that they are interested in.
That said, I apologize for your disappointment regarding the approval options that were presented to you. Should you wish to discuss your review in more detail, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to further assist.

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.

We were kind of rushed during the deal due to bank closing time. The vehicle obviously was never completely checked over. After leaving the lot the high beams were inoperable. The salesman said to contact warranty department and still has not been resolved over a week later. The other salesman there did the checklist and stated they need a spare tire and all we got was an inflation kit. Stereo speakers are blown. I will not do business in the future and neither will any of my family.
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. While they go through an inspection, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. 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 appreciate all feedback both positive and constructive. Should you wish to discuss your review further, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to assist.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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).
That said, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you have with DriveTime. Should you wish to discuss your loan concerns, we would recommend you contact Bridgecrest Customer Service directly at (800) 967-8526 for further assistance.
Sincerely,
DriveTime Customer Relations

The best car buying experience I have ever had in my 73 yrs of living and 50 plus years of buying cars. The young man Mathew did a fantastic job with getting me out testing, purchasing and out the door.

Hello Marquitta,
Thank you for providing your feedback. I apologize if you felt dissatisfied with the condition of your vehicle upon purchase and inventory selection.
I would like to let you know that our inventory changes daily. We typically encourage customers to visit our website periodically to view the new inventory.
In reference to the cleanliness of your 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.

If you are currently experiencing mechanical concerns with your vehicle, we encourage you to contact our warranty partner, SilverRock, at 877-584-3848 for further assistance.
