We had looked at a car and a truck. Both was in $400 of each. Well they wanted 3000 down on the truck and $2200 on the car. We decided to hold off on buying. I get on the internet checking what all they had. I see the same car for 3000 cheaper. I called to ask about it, they said it was not showing for that price but he would call me right back. The price went back up 3000 and they was asking $2800 down now instead of 2200. I just glad I seen what kinda car lot it was before I bought anything.

They said I was pre-approved for $16,000 when I submitted my application online. Then when I went in to get a car, they said that I didn't make enough money. Their commercials are designed to reel you in. And they're false advertising in my opinion.

I would recommend anyone to drive time because they helped me and my children tremendously. I'm now able to get my 3 yr. old daughter to her dr for her sickle cell that she have. I prayed so hard for some to me a chance instead of looking at my credit, drive time didn't do that and I was very relieved and grateful that Drive Time didn't close the door in my face. Thank you Jesus and thank you Drive Time. Keep helping people in situations like me and thank you ** . Please give her a raise.

I came in today slightly discouraged from previous dealerships because I was new to town. Most places would not finance me due to short length of employment due to my recent move. ** at DriveTime was extremely accommodating and helped me find my ideal vehicle.

On 10/23/13 I bought a car from DriveTime with the understanding that they would report to all three credit agencies and they did until 9/2014. This is now March of 2015 and still no information has been sent or any attempt to correct this matter to my satisfaction. This has cost me a great deal of misery.

I purchased a vehicle from DriveTime to help build my credit, which at time of purchase they said they would report monthly to all 3 major credit bureaus. I monitor my credit every couple of months and over the last 6 months to a year I haven't received any positive credit for 100% of my on time payments. My sole purpose for buying a vehicle through DriveTime was to help my credit. I'm sure if I missed a few payments they would have tried to repossess my vehicle, which wouldn't matter because I can just buy a vehicle outright. Either way Drivetime has screwed me out of a year of positive credit and didn't even have the common decency to email, call, text or anything but believe if I would have missed a payment they would have been so far up my ass about it I may have lost my job due to harassing phone calls.
So in summary I would like to thank you DriveTime for absolutely nothing and lying about all the things that you were supposed to do and did not. I don't expect anyone at DriveTime to care because they screwed thousands of people over without even trying to reach out to let anyone know what's really going on. My recommendation is to walk instead of purchasing any vehicle from DriveTime.

This is the worst place ever. DriveTime gave us a car on my bday and the check engine light came on that day. I told them about it....They took my car to the back. Brought it back and supposedly fixed it. While I was pulling out.... the light came on again. Afterwards I took it to there auto shop. and Now I'm left without a car. It's still at the shop. No one is helping me get a rental car. It's just VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WILL REPORT THIS COMPANY TO ANY NEWS CHANNEL THAT WILL HEAR my voice. DriveTime will not get away with stealing my hard-earned money.

My wife and I went into a DriveTime branch in Williamstown NJ. While the staff was friendly (particularly our customer service rep), we ended up leaving fairly disgruntled after 3 hours. The sole purpose of going in there was to obtain a lease. We are currently in the process of purchasing a house and did not want to run our credit or open a new loan. The rep understood and gave us information on leasing. However after pulling my credit, took my application to an underwriter who ended up offering us a fixed term loan after we specifically stated that we only wanted information on leases.
We sat there for close to 3 hours before finally leaving still without any information on the general cost of leasing a vehicle. Personally I believe that we were lauded for our good credit and income and the preference was to put me in a loan rather than a lease for profitability purposes. I am definitely weary of conducting business with this company.

Drive time starts calling the the day the payment is due, then begins to call every 30 minutes every day after that. When I asked them to stop calling my work phone, they did not. I pay my payment late on purpose just to see how many times they call. I had to do a payment deferral twice, and both times they reported me to the credit Bureau as being 30 days late. Not to mention the fact, I'm paying 10 times what the truck is worth.

I was told by the Manager that I would get my deposit back by check within 3 days of returning the car.
Called 2 days later to see about the check and she tells me it will be 10-14 days and then I told her I was promised it would be within 3 days. She informs me that she's going to expedite the check and I would have it the next day. 2 days later and still no check and I called and called and called and they are still giving me the runaround about it.

I purchased my car almost 4 years ago. Ever since then, I have nothing good to say. Online payments cost 4.50 per payment. They call incessantly the day after your due date. I literally just got off the phone after making a double payment and the lady was arguing with me about needing more numbers for them to call me. They called my job even after I told them not to. There are so many other car buying options. This one is the worst I have ever had, and if I could go back to 2011, I would have gone a different route. I just called three times to complain and kept getting put on hold for 10 minutes each time. I don't think they were even trying to get a manager and I'm convinced it wouldn't have even mattered.

Gave my information to the young lady who was taking application, told her I have approval amount with code for her to pull up information, which she said she did not need. I said ok, processed to answer her questions, she took another application on me, then copied some documents I gave her, told me the gentlemen will talk to me and explain the terms.
He came and introduce himself, told me that my income was not enough, and they require a $5000.00 deposit or with a co-signer $1700.00. I said seriously, I know I had credit problems but not to this point where I need to practically pay such a huge down payment. So I declined.

I was so happy to get the exact truck I wanted but now I am so REGRETFUL! I purchase the vehicle Monday night (1/26/15); Tuesday I noticed a huge leak under the truck - turns out transmission leak so the truck went into the repair shop. Wednesday, it was "fixed"; Thursday, guess what, it wasn't fixed - back to the shop. Now its "fixed". Friday, back to the shop and now they think they got it. Saturday, back to the shop but "oh, couldn't reach the warranty so bring it back Monday". Monday, finally approved but drop it off Tues. and pick it up Wednesday - all in the first week that I had the car.
I guess no one noticed this leak at the dealer right? So now here I am almost a month since purchase and now it needs brakes which isn't covered by the warranty but come on - this thing passed your vehicle inspection, right? This is ridiculous - turned my excitement into just plain disappointment over my dream car turning out to be a lemon. I can only imagine what I have to look forward to in the future.
Hi Laura, We apologize for the mechanical concerns you had with the vehicle soon after purchase. Our vehicles undergo a thorough multipoint inspection to meet and exceed national safety standards. However, with a used vehicle we are unable to determine when a new failure will occur in the future. A Vehicle Protection Plan is also offered to assist with un-anticipated repairs that occur after sale, but it does not cover all repairs. Our records indicate that all repairs were covered including the brakes.

I would recommend having an employee updating potential customers who are waiting as to the length of wait they can expect. We sat for over an hour before anyone said anything to us and saw multiple employees walking around. I understand they were assisting customers, but, take 2 minutes to let the waiting customers know a rough time frame.
Suggestion: the employee that takes the payment or the manager could take 5 to 10 minutes to update each potential customer of the current wait time and let them know there are refreshments available. If you hadn't found my car online and loved it, I would have left and not come back due to the lack of customer service during our almost 2 hour wait time. I was getting ticked and was very hungry. If we had been updated, I would have known I had time to run, grab food, and come back. When I have a long wait ahead of me and the staff keeps me posted in the wait time I don't get irritated.

I am livid about my experience with DriveTime. I was "pre-approved" for a vehicle after providing my monthly income. I corresponded with a salesman at the dealership convenient to me and asked all of the right questions. How much of a down payment is needed, was the pre-approval process accurate? I was told the down payment required was between $850 and $1500. I was told the pre-approval process was accurate and that I would be driving off of the lot in a vehicle of my choice. Well, all of that was a boldface lie!
My monthly income was too low and if I wanted to drive off with a car I would have to put $4000 down on one. What made it so bad was they did their best to make me feel small and insignificant. The pre-approval process is a total sham. How can someone be approved but their monthly income is too low and their down payment is nowhere close to what they expect? Any other dealership you go to all of that is taken into consideration to be approved. Definitely not what they make themselves out to be!

I made an appointment online for 4pm on February 11th and wasn't attended to until after 6:30 pm. I came in to enroll in the lease program. I did appreciate Chris and Abbey checking in on me. However not only were they understaffed, service was very slow overall. Mind you, this could be a result of clients not being able to get authorization for insurance, payment, etc. I went on lease a 2008 Kia Optima which I was told was 995 several times. However upon speaking with a manager the price went up to 1495 which seemed quite odd. I was even told that I had good credit. However when I asked, they stated that this was a group 1 car which didn't make sense to me. Not sure why I was told it was 995 until I had to pay. I didn't leave until close to closing, which was a quite frustrating.
I came back at 10:30 am the next day to pick up my vehicle. I had already paid the night prior and obtained my insurance prior to coming in. However they found out that there was no window washer fluid and I ended up having to wait three hours to get it fixed. On top of that they asked to go through my references which I wished they did the day prior.
I've had the car for about three days now and the rubber along the windshield popped off on the passenger side. I called Aeverex as instructed as I would be eligible for the $0 deductible as I was within my 30 days/1500 miles. However they referred me to Ken Towery who couldn't fix the issue. I called back and Aeverex told me to drive over to have Ken Towery call them which was incredibly frustrating. I was fortunate where a gentlemen at Ken Towery was able to pop it back in. However I would need to see an auto-glass company to get a missing part installed. Based on my conversation at auto drive, they certainly test drive for safety but details like this are overlooked.
Overall Abby, Chris and Tarek were very friendly. I would certainly work with them again. I only wish there was transparency with pricing and that the process was outlined clearly -- they only mentioned when I inquired 3 weeks prior that I would need payment, employment verification and a bill sent to my address. I wish they stated clearly the insurance policy and the variances in leases for vehicles. Also, I have spent a total of 8-9 hours over 2 days to get this process done, which is not right. If I didn't need a lease, I would have never come to Drivetime to purchase my vehicle based on the overall wait time. I do need to mention again though that Chris, Tarek and Abby were great and have excellent customer service skills.

I was in need of a second vehicle and could not get approved on a traditional loan since I already have a current car note for my wife's vehicle. I was getting around in a 96 Taurus that burned up as much oil as it did gas. I needed a more reliable form of transportation. With the help of Bawb at the Temple, TX Drivetime location, I was able to get a newer reliable vehicle for my commute to work. Thanks!!!!

I bought a car on Jan 26th. Then exactly 7 days later the brakes started making a VERY loud squealing noise and a metal grinding noise when I would stop the car. So on Feb 2nd I sent an email to the lovely, friendly sweet salesman who helped me. He responded to my email very quickly explaining to contact Aeverex (warranty company) to get it repaired. So when I contacted them they advised I go to Indy Tire to get it fixed. I proceeded to Indy tire on the 3rd and dropped it off at 730am. I got a call from them about 3pm telling me my car can be picked up. They explained that the front rotors were replaced because they were completely worn down. I picked the car up and paid $0. I was really happy and glad to have it fully covered.
So it is now one day later Feb 4th and the noise is back and worse than before. I was actually leaving for a business trip so my return trip to Indy tire would have to be when I returned on Feb 11th. I wasn't the least bit concerned since I was still within my 30 days and it would be fixed. Right? Well actually NO! A few hours after I dropped the car off at Indy tire the mechanic called me back and told me "unfortunately we were not able to fix a thing because it wasn't covered because the pads and rotors were in acceptable range."
So in layman’s terms, ALL My brake pads were the lowest quality possible along with the rotors in the rear. The mechanic said they should have never put the pads on my car because it is a high performance vehicle and the parts were for a low performance car. Also the rotors were so close to being bad but because they were not quite there yet they won’t be covered. He said I would have to drive around with this noise unless I was willing to pay to have it fixed ($544).
I immediately called the dealership and believe it or NOT every manager was busy and couldn't talk, my salesman was very empathetic and said he would talk to the manager to get it taken care of. So 4-5 hours later, no call. So I someone take me there and I walk in prepared to be extremely pleasantly professional. Things took a turn for the ugly when the manager said that because the car was deemed safe, I would have to live with the extremely loud noise. NO ifs ands or buts about it. She was not trying to hear my logic on why this was so unethical and so wrong in so many ways.
She then called the customer care line (20-30 mins later,) she finally gets a human on the line and they pretty much said the same thing. "Sorry ma’am but the car doesn't have a safety issue so this is something you will have to either live with or pay yourself to have it fixed." As I tried to plead my case to this customer service rep (Kayley) or lack thereof, over and over (she didn't seem to get it). All she kept on saying was the same thing..... During this process the manager (**) walked away from me and left me sitting at this cubicle on the phone with this rep. Oh and did I mention the sweet car salesman (Scott ** ) who was such a nice guy, didn't even make eye contact with me or even say hello. He just stood there looking at me like I had the plague or if he said the wrong thing he was going to get reprimanded.
So I finally decided to stop pleading my case to a company customer rep who obviously couldn't make this very stressful situation right. The manager was up at the manager’s desk and pretty much tried her hardest to not make eye contact. I walked over to her and asked her again if she could help and she said to me “If the car is within safety guidelines, we can’t help you and if it were here, she would drive the car." I doubt that.... I left and I am in the same position I was in when I walked in there. So apparently the manager has no say and can’t make any decisions to make this Bad situation good.
I was really thankful to have an opportunity to get a car because my credit is not that great. I really feel that this company completely takes advantage of people in my type of situation. They would never try to pull this type of behavior with someone who has good credit. It is unfortunate that this type of behavior from a corporation of this magnitude is unwilling to spend the necessary money to save a customer relationship. Outing a company online is not something I would typically do being I am in the same type of business. As a manager I would have made the necessary decisions to make a customer happy. I am in the process of speaking to a lawyer and will pursue a lawsuit against this company. They willingly sold me a car with high performance and mediocre parts and that is unacceptable.
I forgot to mention the key fob I got to start the car was broken and I have to get a new one but to get a new one they won't be able to do it until I get my registration which could take up to thirty days. In order for me to get this three hundred dollar key fixed within thirty days I need the registration and that still has not came in yet either.

I was called (at my phone number!) many, many times over a week, until I was able to make the trip to DriveTime to choose a vehicle. I was told I was "pre-approved" for up to $26,000. When I got there and went to choose a vehicle, I was told I had to choose from 3 or 4 different cars, all the least expensive on the lot. I'm not sure why. Everyone was so unprofessional! There was rap music playing on the PA and the sales people were inattentive. But still I went through with the deal. I purchase my car on October 20, 2014. When my temporary tag was about to expire, on December 27th, I called and was told they don't have my plates yet because I wasn't asked to sign the title. Ok...
So I took the 50-mile drive from my home to sign the title. I asked why they didn't call me before and they said they didn't know. I verified that they had my number so they could call me because they were to get my plates the following Monday (this was Saturday). This was told to me by the RUDE "Manager". Sadly, I never got the call. I called them a month later and was told they hadn't gone to get the plates yet, but they would on Tuesday after the MLK holiday. I again verified they had my number so they could call me. I didn't get a call, so I called a week later and was told that, not only do they still NOT have my plates, but there were two other forms I had to sign.
So now I have to take the 50-mile trip (100 miles round trip) to them again to sign. Then I will have to go again when the plates come in. As if that weren't enough, they let me take the car WITHOUT a proper state inspection, so I will have to take the car BACK to them at some point to be inspected, in the couple of weeks there are left before my SECOND temporary plate expires. I asked why they didn't call me and was told they don't have a number on file for me. WHAT? I had verified it twice and I know they had it because they were calling me hot and heavy to get me to come in to buy the vehicle!
I was upset, so I called the corporate office to try to get them to do something about getting my plates. The first time I called, I was on hold for six minutes and the phone was disconnected. The second time I called, I was on hold for 8 minutes and got disconnected. The third time I called, I was told they would send me to voice mail and then I was promptly stuck on hold for 10 more minutes. I called back an hour later and never even got a live operator... I was placed on hold from the beginning. I never spoke to anyone at all. So here is what I have:
A car with a rapidly-expiring second temporary plate; A third 100-mile round trip to the dealership, with no results; A car that "could be" unsafe because it was sold to me without proper state inspection and emissions testing; No customer service; Hung up on many times; and no one to help me or tell me what's going on with my car. Oh and get this...I was two days behind on my payment last week and guess what I got? A PHONE CALL from DRIVETIME. SOMEONE clearly has my phone number!

Drivetime in GA sell the worse cars. The warranty does not cover hardly anything. You take your car to the shop they recommend (third party), they hold your car for over 10 day and I am paying out of pocket for a rental and they tell me they will only cover 1 day at 25.99. Well the rental was 46 dollars and change a day. They received my car 1/9/15 and still have my car and will not pay for me to get a rental. The company (oil pit) is the worse when it comes to business because they send your car somewhere else to get repaired because they are not competent enough to fix your car. It took them 7 days to a diagnostics test. I should have took it to a GM dealer rather than deal with them, at least I would have had my car back by now repaired and running. I would never recommend or do business with them ever again. The worse experience I have ever had with buying a car and getting a repair.

Absolutely do not purchase a car from them. We purchased a car from them in May 2014. Were required a down payment of $4,500, which took us 30 days to get before we could actually leave with the car. They promised the car was going to be detailed and ready on the day we scheduled to come get the car. When we arrived the car was filthy and had a cup that was left in the cup holder. Our original sales person wasn't there so another sales person took the car through the car wash while we completed our paper work. The car cost $16,700, and had over 90,000 miles on it and was a 2009.
Please keep in mind this is Nissan that is coming new off the lot at about $17,000. During the paper work that we were rushed through it was never disclosed so they added $13,000 in fees and that was after the $4,500 we put down on the car. After going online to make a payment that is by the way is $430.00/month, I realized that the balance owed on this car was $30,000, well over the blue book value and what the car is worth. After contacting the sales person to complain, we were told they couldn't help us at this point. When asked for corporate's contact information we were told we needed to go through customer service, and hung up on. We were ripped off, and the car needed tires and an oil change within the first 60 days we had it. Buyer beware. Save yourself the headache we're currently dealing with Drivetime. It's nothing but a scam and we're suing them.

I leased a car from Drivetime in Denver, CO in September! On 21Nov, two months after purchase, the car broke down! Had to pay to have it towed home! A week later the only drivetime service center in my area could get my car in, thus an additional tow expense! The car needed the ENGINE replaced after two months of me having the car! Car was in shop for over a month being repaired, leaving me with car rental expenses! Car broke down again, radiator issue now!!
I've paid more money out of pocket for this vehicle, including warranty deductibles, car rentals and towing expenses! They don't seem to care that I was sold a car, with the wrong battery and an engine replacement and now a radiator problem! I work in customer service and I am one of the most patient ppl, but this is the worst customer service I have EVER experienced in my life! I get used cars will have problems, but really, a whole new engine after 2 months! And a radiator problem in less than 4 months!

Since March we have bought three vehicles. When we bought the second car they gave us a credit of one payment to apply against the first car. When we bought the third they were to apply a payment against the first car again but never did, we would call the dealership directly and they said they did apply it but the credit department never received it. After this going on for over two weeks, we finally gave up and just made the payments along with close to 50 dollars of late fees.
Ever since then they start calling for payments three days after we receive the text notification of a payment being due. They will say the payment is past due by three days and we again will have to pay the late fee to become current again. One instance they sent the payment due notice on a Wednesday, then on that Friday two days later they sent a notice that no payment was due. Because of the second notice we could not send the payment by Western Union and again had to pay the late fee over the phone to become current. When all three cars are paid in full, we will never use them again. Drive time is good for people with bad credit as long as you keep current.
