    Came in just to look around for my family next new car... Finding this location very helpful with everything. It's been a long time to see car company being honest with what you purchase or wanting... This place has a great customer service. A young man name Christopher **... was great to work with. In my family getting a car he was straight up with everything there was to know about this car that I had picked out. I really appreciate this guy. Took time to do great work with me on my visit here.

    I gave DriveTime a try because a very persistent salesman named Emmanuel. I schedule a meeting with him for 2/07/2019. Prior to the meeting we discussed my employment, income and downpayment options. I sent over my information that was requested of me which was driver’s license, proof of income, residency and bank statements. I explained to Emmanuel that I currently did not have a vehicle and that I would have to Uber to DriveTime so please approve me before I come. I was told that I was already approved and all I need to do is come in. I scheduled my Uber and arrived at DriveTime at 2:06pm.

    I met with Emmanuel and we reviewed my information and I test drove a 2017 Hyundai. I met with the sales manager and we discussed my down payment which was $600. I signed a document disclosing my payment amount as well as the terms and interest rate and credit report information. The sales manager begins to ask me questions about my employer which I was very honest about. Emmanuel left with the car to fill it with gas and clean it because it was empty and dirty. I was given the information to add the Hyundai to my father’s insurance and agreed to pay $600 down. The sales manager retreated to his desk and begin to process my loan documents.

    Once Emmanuel returned, I informed him I was waiting to be added to my father’s insurance and a fax. Once the insurance was added I paid the $600 down payment with my debit card. Emmanuel was then called to the office where he was informed to retrieve my bank statement from the shredder. The manager came to me and requested a cancelled check because he said Bridgecrest denied my loan which was a lie because I called them myself I was told all financing is done in-house and they are only responsible after the loan is signed. I was told my bank statements and my pay stubs were fake and looked like I made them online. I was refunded and treated like a liar and fraud. It was insulting and very disrespectful.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing your review and I sincerely apologize if you feel we misled or mistreated you in any way during your sales experience. At DriveTime, our main goal is to treat each and every customer with the utmost respect in a comfortable and professional atmosphere.

    Please know that all approvals are subject to verification of valid or original documentation provided at the dealership such as proof of residency, proof of income, and credit score. In addition, our dealerships have locked and secured bins on their premises for confidential documents to be placed into, which is emptied on a regularly scheduled basis. We understand the importance of protecting personal and confidential documentation. Therefore, if at any time a document should need to be retrieved from this container, only a member of management has access to do so.

    In reference to Bridgecrest, our loan servicing provider, without submitting verifiable documentation, Bridgecrest is unable to extend financing.

    Again, my apologies if at any time during your visit we were discourteous to you in any way. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, I encourage you to reach out to our Customer Relations department where a representative will be glad to assist you.

    Hello Jean,

    Thank you for providing your review and I can certainly understand your frustration regarding your mechanical concerns you are experiencing so soon after purchase.

    Please know that all of our vehicles are pre-owned and inspected prior to being placed on our lots for sale. Since our vehicles are pre-owned and we can never determine if our when mechanical concerns may arise, every vehicle comes with a 30 day/1,500 mile warranty along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations.

    I am sorry to hear that you have been without means of transportation since your vehicle went into a repair facility. Please know that per the terms of the VSC we can provide rental reimbursement up to a daily rate of $25.99 during repairs for covered components.

    I would strongly encourage you to stay in communication with SilverRock, your Limited Warranty provider, in regards to this unexpected situation. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact our Customer Relations department at (800) 965-8043.

    I recently wrote a glowing review for DriveTime - BUT AM RETRACTING IT!!! I didn't realize that once you receive the keys and copy of signed contract, it is not really over!!! I purchased a car from them this past weekend. I SIGNED the contracts etc. I was given car and keys. I was told I would NOT have to return until it was time to trade license plates. I received a frantic call only a day or so later "told" they needed me to travel back to the office immediately, as if I didn't work! Salesperson did not want to take no for an answer. This sounded like a VERY URGENT matter. The previous friendly treatment I had received from him during my purchase, had completely changed. I was treated like I had done something wrong or owed money on the car! They want me to come down to the office to "REDO ALL" of the paperwork.

    Everyone, I consulted with that have purchased cars says this does not sound right!!! I called the rep and informed him that this sounds like a SCAM to redo figures etc. He denied it. I have been on edge and barely able to sleep concerning this situation. I am planning to consult with an attorney regarding this matter. I felt it necessary to report this matter because after purchasing MANY cars in my life this is not anything that has ever happen to me. In addition ALL of the papers are TOO many for you to read every word. I received a great new car that had NOT at ALL been cleaned and also has the with light on stating cars needed to have air put in its tires.

    This is stuff I was left to do upon receival of vehicle. I did not complain after realizing it at home, although that is unheard of. Now, I am asked to sacrifice my time and go back there to REDO ALL papers. I had agreed originally to go back on Saturday to "see these" papers or possibly sign it when they redo it. But I now realize this matter is too big for me and smells like a TRICK/SCAM!!! Once this has been acknowledge by them, I do not want to receive any harrassing calls. The reason they gave for wanting to redo ALL the papers is that they forgot to have me sign ONE thing regarding trade in that was forgotten, BUT ALL papers need to be redone! They can write the info on the trade in on ONE paper and if it sounds accurate, I will sign. Other than that, I would have to consult with an attorney.

    We went into the dealership looking to trade in our SUV which was a gas guzzler and not reliable by any means. We looked through so many choices and finally with the "amazing" recommendation of the salesman stating that the 2016 Dodge Caravan we settled on would be the best family car for us. It gonna be reliable and stay with our family for years and years to come age said.

    We left the lot feeling so happy with our new vehicle. We take a trip a month and a half after purchase and in the middle of our trip the vehicle broke down. Of course at this point the car was will not drive anywhere so we get it towed to a local mechanic who tells us that it sounds like transmission problems. Today mechanic calls back and says that the van needs a whole new transmission. The vehicle is not barely 2 years old and it needs a new transmission. Barely sold to us not even 2 months ago and needs a new transmission?

    You know we went with this as we needed something better for our family and guaranteed to be reliable. We are now out $100 plus another 75 for the tow. Thank god we got the extended warranty. But having to use it almost 15 days after the limited expired just doesn't seem right.

    Thank you for leaving your feedback. I want to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience resulting from the transmission malfunction that occurred while you and your family were on the road.

    Please know that we make our best effort to avoid these situations for our customers by inspecting our vehicles prior to sale. However, due to the nature of preowned vehicles, there are sometimes instances in which mechanical issues may occur after purchase. In order to alleviate the potential impact on our customers, each of our vehicles include an initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, as well as the Vehicle Service Contract that we offer as an optional add-on.

    That said, I am truly sorry to hear that this has caused such a difficult situation for you.

    I am a single mother with poor credit. I heard about DriveTime and how they will help and finance anyone. First I had a extremely high interest which I knew I would. I was ok with that at least until I could build my credit through them. So the interest wasn’t as much of an issue. Well at DriveTime you make two car payments a month. That was the second downfall. Still I got past that. Even though I had a bad feeling I thought this is this best I can do because of my credit.

    Then I bought a 2009 Toyota Avalon. A car I know well. My mother owned one and Toyota’s are great cars because I have owned 3 myself. I took the car on a test drive and tried to turn on the GPS screen and nothing. The salesman told me I needed to update it and that’s why I wasn’t working. Then I noticed not even the radio or hands free was working. So he assured me I had this 30 day warranty and their mechanic would fix it. So I purchase the car. Then two days before I was going to bring the car to check the GPS and hands free screen system, the compressor goes out. Brakes Plus replaced the compressor for me and the next week I’m off to see about the GPS, etc. I took my Avalon to a different very highly rated family owned but contracted through DriveTime.

    I get a call from the owner of the mechanic shop he was so angry, not at my at DriveTime. He asked if I was sitting down because he had to give it to my straight and he would feel very dishonest fixing this car because this car is a flood vehicle. He said is has severe water damage. All electrical is either going out or will go out within 6 months. He could not believe that they sold me this car. He said they supposedly have their cars inspected and he said there is no possible way a certified mechanic did an inspection on the car. He called DriveTime for me and demanded they give my down payment back in full and they will pay him for his time. Thank god this honest mechanic helped me! He could’ve changed DriveTime and sent me on my way instead he demanded I be treated fairly.

    There I was after 3 weeks of hell, only driving my car for maybe a week and depending on riders for my son and I. I am telling my sorry to warn those with bad credit or little credit to try places who source outside financing. These in house financing car dealers can be very dangerous. They feed on us at the bottom of the credit scale. They sell cars that are damaged or low quality. They shine them up and touch up the paint but they do not check the cars for water damage. Please try other dealers. Just try.

    After this experience I went to a big dealership in the PHX they financed me for half the rate and got me in a quality certified car. I feel blessed even though this was a horrible experience. If I had waited past the 30 day warranty I would’ve been out a car. I have one single payment a month, not two. I am happy and loving my newer Avalon with half the miles! When my mom and I went to look at. Are the dealers in the lot were sooo nice and so willing to help us. Then when we went back for the refund we were ignored and were treated rude as if we were in the wrong! They should’ve been ashamed and apologetic! Nothing.

    Please I am taking time to write this to warn single women and/or poor credit consumers not to go here! Also very very overpriced! You pay for having poor credit in many ways when you go here.

    Not have been purchased me a 2017 Kia Soul from the DriveTime in Salem Virginia and the salesmen stated between West Virginia and Virginia DMV to see if my tags had arrived yet through the mail and if they had lived that they would reissue me a set of 30-day tags for another month until my tags. Well let him hold. They never called me. Me being a busy business owner forgot and got pulled over for expired tags and got a ticket for $160 Blackhawk DriveTime while I'm sitting there with the officer and they stated to me that there was no such thing said to me and that they didn't believe that their sales representative state that they would send me out and I get a phone call from DriveTime and they told me that they're going to look into it.

    I called back in the DriveTime to see if they were going to assist me in paying this hundred and sixty some-odd dollar ticket and all the sudden there's been a change in my file on the 27th of November and it was my fault that I didn't get attacked. Well how is it my fault when you didn't call me. You didn't reissue tags. You can somehow. Probably at this point it's looking like that they have went in and alter their documentation because the officer heard them say that they would make no statement that they wouldn't give another 30 days instead of tags and then all the sudden computers have changed to $160 ticket mileage, off of work.

    Hello Michael,

    Thank you for taking the opportunity to provide your feedback. I want to sincerely apologize for any frustration caused by the transmission problems you had encountered shortly after sale, as well as the time needed to perform the initial repair work.

    Please know that we take precautions to avoid these situations by performing an initial vehicle inspection on each unit prior to sale. However, as is the nature of pre-owned vehicles, there are sometimes instances in which mechanical malfunctions may occur after sale. To alleviate the potential impact on our customers, each of our vehicles include the initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty that you had briefly mentioned in your review, as well as the Vehicle Service Contract that we offer as an optional add-on.

    That said, we’re truly sorry to know that this has been an ongoing issue for you. Upon further review, I see that you have been actively working with my department regarding the concerns mentioned in your review. I ask that you please continue communicating with my department while we work toward an amicable resolution.

    BUYERS BEWARE!!! I recently purchased a car at DriveTime in Columbus, Ohio. The actual buying experience was great, the person who helped me was very nice and worked with me to get me a car. A few days after driving it I noticed it pulling to the right, I had a 30 day warranty with SilverRock so I took it to a place in their network for an alignment. The dealership I took it to informed me that I had 3 bad tires, needed an alignment and the battery tested extremely low. They called in the claim and were told the battery and alignment are covered but not the tires.

    They refuse to replace them, and continue to fight with me about it as if it were going to bankrupt them to do so. They are ignoring the full diagnosis of the tires that state they are cupped on the inner and outer tread, and the tread is reading at 5/32, 5/32 and 4/32. This cupping not only causes road noise and a less than smooth ride, but it causes me to hydroplane when it's raining. When I mentioned this to the manager, Morgan, he simply told me all cars hydroplane all the time and there is nothing wrong with these tires.

    So I want to warn you that this is how they handle their business, they are jeopardizing the SAFETY of their customers and ignoring the warnings from 2 different mechanics. They do not feel this is their mistake nor should they fix it. I flat out told them I do not feel safe on the road with the condition of these tires but they continue to dismiss my claims and talk to me as if I were a child. Now I realize I bought a used car, but there is no excuse for it to have these issues that should have been checked and replaced before I drove it off the lot. DriveTime and SilverRock are highly unprofessional, unreasonable and are perfectly fine with me driving on dangerous tires that can easily be replaced. I feel taken advantage of and completely unsafe in my newly purchased vehicle. If I had the option to return it I would, but I no longer have my original car. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

I purchased the GPS and it said the battery was low so all he said was driver's little bit and then call warranty company. The same day CenturyLink was down so they gave me a 3-day temporary plate so I went back 4 days later not knowing that he emailed me replacement plate because you never gave me a call. And I live 45 miles away.

    On that day I brought it to his attention that the windshield wiper fluid wasn't working because somebody put water in it and it froze. He was quickly telling me just to call the warranty company or to take it up to Meineke. So I guess I'll my next day off I got to drive round trip about a hundred miles to go get it checked out and to get the battery checked out. Oh yeah on top of everything on it needed a oil change but the guy just told me to contact the warranty company and he said Judy tells people to get a oil change within the first month of purchasing a car but he never told me when I picked up the car.

    My in store experience was amazing. My customer service representative Mrs. ** was very helpful, she explained everything so thoroughly, and she was very kind and sweet. My after the store experience when I drove my car off the lot, I realized my floor mats were missing (the ones that were in the car in the back seat did fit my car). I was told my car had Bluetooth capability (it didn’t), and lastly my car manual wasn’t for my car. Overall, I would have two different ratings.

    My first time at DriveTime, before I went I was really not looking forward to another long drawn out day just to be sent home empty handed. My first assumption was, this is all too good to be true, especially for a person with less than perfect credit. As soon as my husband and I walked in we were greeted as if we were millionaires. Mack and Jeremy were very nice. Mack actually started our process, I handed him my 3 required documents and that was it. Within just a few minutes he was back at our table, he did not have what we wanted but we did find what we were looking over the internet. Once I told him, "Yes we would take it," he was on the making arrangements to pick it up in Kingwood. It was already after lunch but he did not care, he sent someone right away to make that long trip and bring it back the same day. They stayed open late just so we could get the truck the same day. They were until almost ten p.m. just to satisfy us a customer.

    We have never been treated as nice when buying a car. 99 percent of the time when a person has credit issues the car salesman will be very rude and unconcerned, but not here at this Drivetime. They were all great, new what they were doing and very helpful. If you're looking for a good car or truck definitely go to Tyler Drivetime.

    My husband and I came to DriveTime in Downey. Both salesman that assisted us were decent, which validated me giving you guys one star. The following day my mother was admitted into the hospital so we didn’t really get a chance to drive the car until Thursday. Thursday we noticed the brakes were bad. Took it into one of the repair shops in their network who informed me that it would take at least 3 hours seeing as they must complete a full inspection of the vehicle. They performed the repairs and now today is Sunday and still the brakes are NO GOOD! DriveTime is closed today, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and they will be closed until January 7th according to one of their salesman.

    We are driving out of town to see family for Christmas and now the vehicle may or may not be covered under the warranty because of their lack of professionalism and honesty about the condition of the vehicle. I called the repair shop and they told me they only repaired the front brakes so if it is now the back brakes they can’t replace them until DriveTime is open to approve the repairs. This has been a horrible experience and I would like to return the car and get my deposit back. This car buying experience has put the cherry on top for a terrible Christmas for me this year. Thanks for that DriveTime. Extremely Dissatisfied.

    The description of DriveTime says affordable payments. That's a joke. My online pre-qualification said I was approved for $0 down payment. This applies only to certain vehicles. Found one I was interested in that would have been $250 down. Asking price was $13,395. Payments were going to be $218 every two weeks for five years. That comes up to $28,340. I'm baffled at how people can give such great reviews after paying double the asking price on used vehicles.

    Hello Gary,

    Thank you for providing your review and I truly apologize if you feel that we had misled you in any way regarding our pre-approval process, in addition to the total purchase price of a specific vehicle.

    At DriveTime, we strive to provide the most accurate information during the pre-approval process and it is important to keep in mind that these decisions are pre-approvals and they are not guaranteed. When you arrive at the dealership your down payment requirements are subject to change based on the information provided such as proof of residency, proof of income and credit score, in addition to your selected vehicle of choice.

    Regarding the total sales price of the vehicle, DriveTime and Bridgecrest, our loan servicing company, work with customers who have less than perfect credit. This can cause the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) offered to be a bit higher than expected. For this reason, we go over the Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure includes a complete breakdown of the APR, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price.

    I do apologize once again, however, that we were not able to help you out. If you have any additional questions on this matter please contact us directly at (800) 965-8043.

    Hello Charles,

    Thank you for providing your feedback after your recent purchase from our dealership. I am truly sorry to hear that you decided to part ways with DriveTime and return your vehicle after experiencing a mechanical malfunction within your 5-day/300-mile return period.

    In situations such as these, please know that providing our customers with the appropriate refund is a top priority. However, the speed at which we can provide our customers with their refund depends entirely on the method by which the original payment was made. When down payments are made with a credit card, refunds can be processed same-day, as long as the original card and card holder are present. When down payments are made by cash or debit card, a refund must be issued in the form of a live check. This process can take up to 14 days, as it requires a live check to be created and sent from our corporate office. It is important to note that DriveTime is unable to provide customer refunds in the form of cash, as it creates security and liability risks.

    That said, I want to apologize again for any frustration this situation has caused. Please know that we would sincerely appreciate another opportunity to have you as a customer in the future.

Was that an indication that something was already known about this vehicle? We even had the vehicle inspected within the timeframe but those things must have been hidden to sell the car.

    Bad motor & transmission after only 5 months. The 5 year warranty doesn't even cover all the repairs, so we will have to pay for a portion. We have received a very nonchalant attitude towards the situation. We have been bounced back and forth, missed time from work, and frustrated over not having this situation expedited. The warranty company will pay for a portion of your rental, but for only so many days. You have to cover the expenses upfront. Please know that if DriveTime is the only option you have, that you need to be prepared to stand alone and possibly be stuck with a bad vehicle.

    Sales team neglected to tell about cost of powertrain warranties. Then adds the cost in finance, resulting in over 12,000 extra cost towards the vehicles price. The sale of the vehicle was 13,000 and change. First price with finance added resulting in a 36,000 dollar cost. Wow, really??? Then wanting to set up payment in order for us to fail.

    As we said our concerns, the payments changed. The finance changed. Point is, the sales team brings forms expecting you to sign a contract as though it’s the only thing left. No questions of how much you can afford or when your payment is best to suit us. Had to give over two months of paycheck stubs, as though I was lying about my income. My down payment was charged a hundred over what was discussed. Now I have to wait for the amount to return to my credit card. I will not recommend anyone nor will I return. The system is set up for the DriveTime to make over a 100% profit off the vehicles. Taking advantage of buyers that only want to be able to afford a decent vehicle. Shame should be felt.

    I purchased a Nissan Murano in 2013 for 13,200.00. The first 6 weeks of owning the car, problems started. The car was cutting off in traffic and I became afraid for my own safety. Since I purchased the extended warranty, which means any problems would be covered, right. Wrong, after contacting DriveTime, I was instructed to take the car to a specific mechanic to determine the issue. The coils were bad and needed to be replaced. Warranty company decided this is not covered and I had to pay out of pocket. Not having the funds, I arranged to pick my car up and wait until I had the funds for the repairs. The mechanical company charged me 130.00 for the evaluation. Being on a fixed income I paid the money, took my car home and saved up the money for repair.

    Eventually I repaired the car, but every 2 months I have a breakdown. Paying monthly payments, insurance and car repairs is a burden on my income. They do not send a monthly statement and the only way You can obtain your balance is on their website. 10 months ago I checked my pay off balance and it was $10,000K.

    My visit with the St. Charles DriveTime in Missouri was exceptional! From impeccable service to knowledge about the cars to showing you every detail about the car before you buy. I would highly recommend if you are in the market for a vehicle to check out DriveTime first! They had a super friendly staff, a very clean area of business, and were very helpful in getting just the car I wanted. If I ever do decide to get out of my new Hyundai Elantra, I do believe I will be going back to DriveTime. And I personally strongly suggest the St. Charles location! Eddie was a great sales associate!

    Hello Whiteford,

    We appreciate you writing your review and truly apologize if you are not happy with the total price of your vehicle that you purchased from DriveTime, in addition to the repossession of your vehicle.

    Please know that DriveTime and Bridgecrest, our loan servicing company, work with customers who have less than perfect credit, which can cause the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) offered to be a bit higher than expected. For this reason, we provide a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price.

    In regards to the repossession of your vehicle, I would encourage you to contact Bridgcrest at (800) 967-8526 and a representative will assist you further. Should you choose to discuss your concern regarding your purchase price, please contact our Customer Relations department at (800) 965-8043.

    Hey this is William **. I just recently came to DriveTime and financed a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. I personally have only driven the car 3 times, a few underlining issues that are leaving me displeased with the vehicle I obtained from DriveTime. 1. Cigarette burn holes in seats and head liner. The pictures online shows clearly no holes which indicates the car has been heavily smoked in and I've tried masking the odor of smoke. I have photos of the driver seat on the same day of financing showing a fabric patch was used to "cover up" the hole and I still have the fabric patch for proof if needed.

    2. Engine noise! Ticking sound. A certified mechanic has checked it out and has said that it could be lifters rattling or timing chain that could be slapping due to over revving of the engine which could have caused slack in it. I personally tested my theory by listening to the exact same year and make car and no engine noise. 3. Rough idle. Certified mechanic said but did not diagnose that it could be missing on one of the cylinders 4. Last but not least and by far the most important...!! The Chevy Cruze shut completely down!! Coming to red light this past Saturday while going to get groceries - it shut off.

    I put car in park, the car started back up, and I have not experienced that problem again. And specifically asked for a car that has not been smoked in because my son has asthma. They made the car smell good at time of purchase but I could quickly smell smoke and my kid cannot be anywhere around smoke and I called and spoke with someone about my issues on the 2nd day and told me they would get back in touch with me but waited until the 5 day return policy was up and then I was told that they couldn't do anything.

    Hello William,

    Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I want to sincerely apologize if your vehicle did not meet expectations due to the cosmetic and mechanical concerns that you had encountered shortly after purchase.

    Please know that each of our vehicles are inspected prior to sale in an effort to avoid these situations. However, given that our vehicles are pre-owned, issues may sometimes present themselves after the point of sale. For this reason, each vehicle from our lot includes a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, in addition to the extended Vehicle Service Contract that we offer as an optional product at the time of sale. Both of these products are serviced by the warranty administrator, SilverRock, and it is strongly recommended that you reach out to them as your first point of contact if any mechanical malfunctions occur within your coverage limitations.

    I want to also apologize for any cosmetic issues with your vehicle that may have occurred as a result of the previous owner’s habits. However, please keep in mind that our consumers are responsible for identifying any cosmetic concerns prior to sale. That said, we understand that some concerns of this nature can potentially go unnoticed by the consumer until they have driven the vehicle off of the lot. If our customers find that they are dissatisfied with their purchase in any way, they may utilize the Vehicle Return Program (VRP) that you briefly mentioned in your review. This program allows our customers to return their vehicle within 5 business days of signing their contract, in addition to being within 300 miles, while excluding Sundays and holidays.

    I want to apologize again for any frustration this matter has caused. Please know that I will be reaching out to you within the next 24-48 business hours to ensure that these issues are properly addressed. If you are in need of more immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my Customer Relations team by phone at (888) 290-0148.

    One day after getting my new car the oil light came on and a few days after the filter light. My car is a 2012 with 78,900 mi, so I was upset to see any lights on. I called Bridgecrest to inform them of the situation and was transferred to DriveTime because oil changes are NOT covered under warranty. The customer relations department was great with contacting the insurance provider to inform them to cover anything wrong with the car for that service. Long story short I received a free oil change and filter. Pricing-I expected a higher interest rate since I'm a first time financer, but I'm almost paying 32,000 dollars for a 2012 Nissan Murano S, THAT'S A NEW CAR!

    I brought my car 9/14/18 from DriveTime on Richie highway. The second week of me having my car I had to put it in the shop. The car never should have passed MD inspection which means they're paying people to pass these cars. So here it is 11/16/18 and my car has already been in the shop for 3 weeks and has to stay longer for another issue. They don't want to give me a new car saying it's pass the time for me trying to get a new car but how if I have issues the first week of having it. And they don't want to give me my money back. I'm keep being harassed about making a payment and it's going on a month that I didn't have my car even though I just got it in September. I'm not about to keep making payments on something I can't use... not to mention the $22 I'm paying to get to a job I'm about to be fired from or the $33 I pay to get to the school I'm about to get kicked out of because I don't have my car.

    And then on top of that they don't help you get rental cars. So you pretty much ** out. If you don't want the headaches take your money elsewhere cause they don't care about you after they got your money and got their cut. I'm going through a lot of pain and suffering late bills and everything due to all the money. I still have to kick out for a car I can't use. I'm mad at myself cause I dealt with them.

    When I walked in DriveTime I was greeted immediately by a manager and made me feel like I was entering her home. Then she introduced me to the rep that would be handling the sale. The rep didn't even shake my hand. IDK if she was new or what but her customer service went downhill from there. So after only showing me 2 cars she started huffing and puffing when I asked her about a 3rd car. I didn't want to upset her more so I just left it alone and told her I didn't need to test drive it.

    When it came down to it I needed time to think over if the car she showed me was right for me. I didn't buy the car that day. 3 days later I went on the app and saw a car I liked at a different location. I called Raya to ask if I went to the other location if they would need to re run my credit and what I should do. She told me that she would have to call me back in a few minutes so she can ask her manager. She called me back after 2 hours and acted like she didn't even want to talk to me and just rattled off numbers about the car I asked about but never answered my question. So I had enough and told her to stop cause she wouldn't let me speak at all and told her that what she was telling me wasn't even answering my question then she goes, "Oh what was your question".

    I didn't want to deal with her so I just told her I will go to the other location myself and she didn't have to bother with me. She said, "Oh ok" and hung up immediately. Later I remembered how nice her manager was so I called her. Got the info I needed, went in the next day and bought the car. Raya was the same rude rep that I was stuck with even when the manager knew I didn't want to work with her but I let it go cause I was under a time restraint and I just wanted to get the car and go.

    This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. She was rude the whole time and kept leaving for some reason and every time came back with food in her mouth. They told me I would be done just under an hour. I was there a little over 2 hours. She told me she'd clean the car and only wiped down half the windshield. I dont understand how these companies can hire people like her. Worst experience of my life.

    We had Erica as our sale person and she was great. There was another salesperson named Johnny and he tries to say to us that Erica intervened and took over the sale from him and that's not true. Erica was my sales lady with my 2010 Nissan truck and I had been talking to Erica off and on and Johnny called my house and spoke to my wife and he is the one that intervened and tried to take the sale away from Erica and we wouldn't let him. We went on and let Erica have the sale. She is very friendly and knew what we wanted.

    I purchased a vehicle from DriveTime in May of 2017 with the extended warranty in New Jersey. The car worked for a while but had to go to the shop due overheating. Car was diagnosed and was told needed a new battery, purchased the battery, the car ran fine for a while started overheating again, now the car is in the shop because of the overheating and leaking antifreeze which was the problem before and now the warranty company will not pay for the car to be repaired because they claim the engine was damaged. I would never ever recommend them to any who wants to purchase a car. They are very dishonest and fail to honor their warranties but want you to pay your payments on time.

    In regards to your mechanical concerns, please know that all of our vehicles are inspected prior to sale to prevent these concerns.

We would encourage you to continue working with SilverRock to have these mechanical concerns addressed.

    When I first started my journey looking for a car loan, I knew I didn’t want to be judged by my credit score and to be disappointed. So I Googled “In house financing” and DriveTime popped up. I filled out the short application and to my surprise I was approved with $3000 down. I automatically started looking elsewhere because I didn’t have $3000 sitting around. Later on that day, I received a phone call from Edward and he said I would just have to pay $1,095 to get a car. Driving from Bridgeport, Connecticut to PA I made Eddie aware that I need to make sure I’m guaranteed a vehicle and he reassured me a couple of times “Yes you're guaranteed a vehicle”. No regrets driving the 2 hour and 50 minutes drive, the process was smooth and painless. Edward did an awesome job even filled up the gas tank for me.

However, since these vehicles are pre-owned it can be difficult to determine if or when situations like this may occur. For this reason every vehicle sold from DriveTime comes with a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, along with the optional Vehicle Service Contract.

    Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact our Customer Relations team at 800-965-8043.

    Respectfully,

    My experience at DriveTime was awesome. I had the pleasure of working with LuLu and she kept it straight to the point, always making sure I was comfortable with options and understanding my requests. I haven’t purchased a vehicle in a long time and she made sure I understood all of the options presented to me.

    Thanks for your vote!
