Got my vehicle about 3 months ago. There was 98294 miles on the car. Now it's 104066. Now maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure within that time frame, my brakes should not be worn out already along with a scraped rotor. So I call DriveTime to tell them my problem. They then direct me to the protection plan vehicle coverage, only for them to tell me that they don't cover brakes. So I call DriveTime back. They then tell me it's been over 30 days and I've driven over 15000 miles so they can't do anything for me. So now I stuck having to spend money on something I shouldn't have to be worrying about till at least a year. So disappointed.
Hi Jimmie,
We apologize for the break concerns you had with the vehicle 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.
Please give us some time to research your account, and a Customer Relations Representative will contact you to discuss your concerns. If you would like immediate assistance, you can call Customer Relations at 888-290-0148.

I went to DriveTime on a Monday. I talked to the sales representative and he got me approved. We picked out a car and went for a test drive. I wanted the car so the salesman had me get insurance for the car. After I got insurance I was informed that they didn't have the title and couldn't sell the car. This was after sitting up there for about 5 or 6 hours. I received a call the next day saying the title was available. On Thursday I called them and told them who I was and asked if the car was still available. They told me yes and told me to come in.
Once I got there I asked if I could test drive a different car. After the test drive I said I wanted the car I originally got approved for. They told me it was out front and they were looking for the keys. I told them it wasn't the same car because the one I was looking at had a sunroof and it cost more. I was then informed that the car I was looking at was on hold for someone else and I couldn't get it. So I ended up with a car I really didn't want paying more money than I would have had. I got the other car after about 5 or 6 more hours.

Nothing negative about the actual sales experience. Mariano was so nice and attentive. I got the car I wanted and it was super easy to get a car. My daughter even came in to see mine and bought one too. They called me everyday for over a week before I actually bought one. Wanting to know when I was going to come in. I go...meet Mariano and all is smooth and well. I drove the car during the day and didn't notice until driving it at night that the clear plastic covering on the dash is very hazy. Now it's really bothersome because I think it's a simple fix they should've taken care of.
I go by and they send me to One Stop repair to see if they can fix it. I've only had it 2 days. One stop says that the first short warranty won't cover it. So I call DriveTime on Wyoming back and they say they'll look into it but never call me back! So...this is a simple minor fix but like I said now it's all I see when I drive the car. DriveTime sure knows how to make you happy when you're giving them your money and signing papers but it seems to end right there. I was going to recommend them to my friends but now...probably won't. Very disappointed that they won't fix this for me, but even more upset they couldn't call me back like they said they would. The rating below are based on my experience AFTER the sale.

I bought the vehicle. I currently finance through DT approximately one and a half years ago. At the time I had just finished college for the second time and my credit options/down payment I could provide was somewhat limited due to not having significant credit history. I needed a vehicle for work seeing as I was sharing a car with my girlfriend at the time. The place seemed legitimate based on the internet site and the things I was told after contacting them and submitting my info about how much I could put down on the vehicle. Upon arrival their story changed from "oh....well everyone is approved BUT you would need X amount for those cars" etc etc...I ended up purchasing a 2006 VW rabbit with around k miles for overbook price because of the "included warranty". I believe it ended up coming to around 16.5k, I was told and guaranteed at the time of purchase, through my contract the car has undergone a strict evaluation and repairs had been done for all necessary safety issues and mechanical problems. After I looked up the blue book on the car+extended warranty cost I was furious and almost returned the car but didn't...big mistake, and yes partially my fault.
During the last year and a half I've worked almost all of it with breaks in employment twice which caused me to have issues with my payments...I paid what I could based on my unemployment and my living costs and made an honest effort to do right by my obligations. I can't count on both hand how many times I received calls at work after telling them I wasn't allowed to and being told "ohh...well, um yeah it's an auto dialer" blah blah blah. Keep in mind I have worked two IT jobs where phone policies were very strict for personal use, and I could have been counseled or terminated for this.
Fast forward to this year. A few months ago I started to notice my brakes were making noise, the car was running rough and I was smelling oil at times on the freeway. I repaired the pads once myself on the rear and noticed the rotors had grooves. I mean you could cereal out of these rotors...this didn't happen in 12-14 months.....At the time I couldn't get the rotors off myself and had to wait until I could save the money for a repair shop to do the work. Last week I took my car into Tireworks to have it checked out. I was told it needed tires, battery, belts, tuneup, and front/rear brakes among a few other things. I was shown the condition of the equipment being replaced prior to removal and much of it was shocking to me. Inspected and approved to high safety standards....whose safety standards? Would they allow their own children to ride in an auto inspected under those standards you may ask?
After picking up my vehicle at the shop to the tune of over 1500 in repairs, they told me that it didn't appear there had been much maintenance ever done to the car prior to me buying it based on the condition of the items that were replaced. Rotors were not changed and were grooved badly in rear, spark plugs very dirty and had never been changed, the belts were almost worn through on one side of one belt and the other was even worse. This all being said most of these items would not have been covered under their "warranty" due to them being wear and tear. After going back and forth with them after initial purchase I knew they would not admit fault for this issue and try to blame it on my driving or whatever they could come up with. I shelled out the money for all of these repairs which TBH, if you have reasonable amount of knowledge about automobiles you would know the items named are not things that get worn due to wear and tear in a year and half.
Buyer beware with these people, and unless you have a large down payment, well it is common sense but if you have a high interest rate along with their "simple interest rate loans" and do lose your job etc miss a payment, even once or twice you will be stuck with the car for a lot longer than intended....My credit score has gone up since then due to other efforts made on my own part IE getting a secured CC etc...I found out they weren't even reporting to the credit bureaus at first. I had to call and make a huge deal about it more than once before they did. =(
I feel this is a fairly detailed account of some of the things I've encountered with them....I now pay them manually every pay date because they are also somewhat misleading about their billing practices and double billed me last month.They fixed it after about 10 days but I was late with my rent due to it and the fact I didn't expect to have an extra x amount of dollars removed from my budget unexpectedly. Having looked over my principal still left on the loan and my options I will be doing my best to refinance with another company ASAP and once my credit score is sufficiently high enough to get a better rate.

I traded in my Chrysler Pacifica for a BMW x5. Here's the problem only after having the car for 3 days the engine light goes on. I contacted Drivetime which transferred me to their warranty dept who sent me to the worst possible Auto shop in town. I then came home, called Drivetime again, was told to drive 30 mins away to find out what was wrong.
I gave a review to Drivetime and got a call back, was told to take car back to Drivetime. I did as told and was received with RUDENESS by Jason of Drivetime Downey Ca. He told me that he was not going trade my car for another and I had bad credit and I was late on my car payments the day I was choosing a new car. All this is being said loud and condescending, while Victor the sales person is standing there. He ask to take a seat and Victor and I spoke. I express to him about the rudeness. He acknowledge it and said Sorry.. He said that some of the comments he made were uncalled for. Jason gives Drivetime the worst customer service ever...

All of the staff were very helpful and not condescending. I enjoyed most of the experience. The only complaint I have is the time it took to do all of the paperwork, credit check etc. When a person says this will take about 10 minutes and it takes 30, I get a little aggravated. I understand that buying a vehicle takes some time, but it seems as though mine took extra time. Other than that, I have no complaints. Everyone was very nice and friendly.

I purchased a 2007 Dodge Caliber from here a year and a half ago and it has been such a money pit. The air conditioning went out 2 months after I got the car which wasn't under warranty, so I had to pay to fix that. Then I was told the struts were bad which weren't under warranty anymore, so I had to fix those. The car shakes uncontrollably whenever I'm stopped at a light. The car stalled out on me after an hour of driving on the freeway because the transmission overheated. It just seems like it's constantly one thing after the other with this lemon and I've emailed and called about it multiple times and nobody answers my emails or says there's nothing they can do!

After purchasing my car as with most dealership, the customer service is no longer a priority. I had to have my car towed back to drivetime 1 hour after I drove off the loss. Not knowing what to do because it would not start and I could not get anyone on the phone at Aeverex. The next I called into the store and talked to a manager who let me know in a hasty and rude way that it was not their problem. Not once did he apologize. At this point I was ready to turn the vehicle right back to them. Thank God for Mr. Dontavian ** who took time that night and helped me by replacing a bad battery. I would also like to mention another manager Mr. Chris ** who was apologetic and gave me the information I needed to at least try to get some or all of the $150.00 that I had to pay for towing services.

I was very satisfied with DriveTime service. I was a customer many yrs ago and I left to deal with your normal dealership but like any dealership as soon as the credit report is pulled they make you feel like an ant in the city with not many options. DriveTime didn't do that. I didn't have the fear or anxiety like a normal dealership. They treated me like a person even though my credit was terrible.

My son bought a 2007 Volkswagen and within 30 days the transmission is gone, the gears won't shift and every time he calls he is told that there is nothing that can be done. Really, mind you my son has only put 600 miles on the car. I am very disappointed in their service and the false information they give you with their extended warranty policy and the so called diagnostic checks that they claim to have done. If such was the case how come none of the inspections revealed that the transmission was acting up. My son had his car packed, woke up the next day with the gear shifter stuck. Now he is faced with a $1440.00 bill that he must pay out of pocket if he wants the cars to be fixed. That price does not include the transmission, just the gear shifter.
Hi Charmaine,
We apologize that you and your son are frustrated with some mechanical issues with the vehicle. 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. The vehicle protection plan is offered to assist with unanticipated repairs that occur after sale, but it does not cover all repairs on the vehicle. Please allow us some time to research your account. If you require immediate assistance please call Customer Relations: 888-290-0148.

Well sales people were cordial and friendly. Just took too long (2 1/2) hrs and when test driving the car didn't started and had to be jumped. Should have say no then but I thought they will offer me another battery but didn't. Will be calling someone soon. Also didn't get my car top off with fuel especially with interest and prices. The only reason why I got the second car was because the 1st one was hit by another and it was a total lost. The only way to pay off the car was to do it thru the DriveTime insurance as long as I pay the deductible but with the condition that I get another car thru DriveTime. When I 1st got the 1st car gap wasn't offer and the length was shorter. Hopefully I don't have to go thru this again.

Some health issues have caused me to fall late in my monthly payments. I paid extra last month (September) to help get back on track. But unforeseen circumstances caused me to miss my October 3rd payment date. The calls started at a little at 8 am October 3rd and the non listening customer service person says "call me back on Monday October 6th." Thus was even after I informed him I was going to be late but would pay extra again. Now they are calling me three or more times a day and I am still telling them the same thing. The lady today was not listening and wanted me to make a payment over the phone. I realize I am 6 days late it is only $145 dollars. But must they call every number they have for me. Not avoiding them just overwhelmed with school needs and medical appointment. I was told today I could not keep being late, did they say this to everyone? I still will be making payments when the transmission goes out because it has been a problem since purchase of the car. Their mechanic could never feel or hear the slip just getting worse.

I had gone in there with a list of vehicles it said my location had available, not twenty minutes after looking up the availability of these vehicles. After sitting down with a very nice man, and explaining what I wanted and what I didn't want, we went out to look at cars. I told him I didn't like Ford or GMC, I wanted a Honda, especially, or a Toyota. I wanted a compact, not a SUV. First two casts he shows me are Ford SUVs, 'because he knows I like camping.' I politely, again, let him know, I didn't want an SUV, I wanted a compact, And A Honda or Toyota.
So he shows me a Chrysler. I say maybe, and again say a Toyota or Honda, from my list of eight cars, which are well within my budget. He shows me one Toyota with a high mileage on it and continues to try to sell me on the Chrysler. When I ask to see several Jonas on the lot, each one I point out 'is spoken for.' I felt very pushed toward the Chrysler, which I bought, Because I needed a car that day. And I already spent four hours with them and needed to get to work.
I didn't feel like I had much of a choice in what I was buying. Because anything I wanted that was within my budget was repeatedly spoken for. Otherwise, the men were very nice and very helpful. Had I not been in a rush to get a car that day, I probably would have walked off the lot, for feeling I wasn't being heard, and manipulated into my purchase. No matter how polite and friendly they were.

First of all, I went into the shop not trying to buy a car but to see what selection of vehicle they had. When I was greeted at the door they acted as if I was royalty escorting me to a waiting area for about 1 hr wait time. Now about that wait time - the whole sale only took 6 hr to complete. The rates are high. Your first payment is due on your next payday (for me that was in 6 days), but they didn't make me pay a down payment though :P and most importantly, I drove off their lot with a great car which KBB’d at around 13000. At the end of this purchase I'll pay right under 25000 for it. Now that's a steal! But all joking aside they got me in to a car that I could afford. I got one that same day and I pay an additional 7000 for options that I didn't know were optional. So at the end of the day I was raped with no lube. But you learn something new every day. Trust none, get everything in writing, and if all possible save up enough money to buy a used car instead.

We are sorry that you were unhappy with the pricing of your vehicle financing. Because DriveTime specializes in financing for people with less than perfect credit, the interest rate on the financing can be quite high. The total price of the vehicle can be higher because it sometimes includes optional products such as the Vehicle Protection Plan, and Gap Insurance.

I called Jamarcus and he was able to get the vehicle over to his dealership without any delay the following day. We were a bit late for our appointment but Jamarcus was friendly and respectful. We then signed paperwork with Craig and he was very knowledgeable and friendly as well. We are happy that we came to Drivetime and got the vehicle we chose. Thank you for such a painless and professional experience!

I purchased a vehicle from Drive Time. Within 1 week of having it, it began having problems. It went into the shop to be repaired. First it was the transmission. Ok so it was getting fixed. I made my first 3 payments while it was in the shop. After a month, I was told after a new transmission had been installed, the computer had went out... great! After lots of calls and being transferred around, I finally was told it would be best to be put into another vehicle. Well needless to say, I got another one, but did not get anything close to what I first purchased but whatever. I had came to terms with it and decided to leave it be, then I get a call today that my rental had not been paid for!!!
I am so very angry and out of emotion for this place!! I will not ever purchase another vehicle from here nor refer anyone to this place. I was told that the money I paid on the first vehicle could not be transferred to the new vehicle as it was "usage" fees that would go towards the rental... So why is the rental not paid for and now coming back on me? The staff made me feel as if this was my fault. They should not be allowed to sell these types of vehicles for the price they sell them for and get away with treating people in this manner. And the sad thing is, you cannot even talk to someone at the dealership or someone who runs the company. You have to call Customer Relations in another State for everything. Wish I had known all this beforehand.

First I heard a lot of great things about DriveTime but my experience numbed those compliments about the company. First my transmission went out the day after I had gotten it. I gotten the 2005 Dodge ram on 08/23/2014 and just picked it up from repairs on 09/11/2014. I was only granted a rental car for 5 days and during the remaining almost 2 weeks, I struggled getting back and forth from work and school. I reached out to the store manager which wasn't a help at all. I reached out to customer relations who granted me the rental but it wasn't good enough in my book. I put $1100.00 down on a vehicle through the lease purchase program. My money was spent on a truck that I cant even drive.
So after I picked the truck up yesterday 09/11/2014, I went to work, truck driving perfect. As soon as I got off work at 10:30 pm, I was in route home, I felt a jerk after taking off at the stop light. It jerked off and on all the way home. This morning 09/12/2014 I put it in reverse, it wouldn't go into gear, then it finally did after the big jerk. Took it to the repair facility and called AVEREX.
They have my truck again and I'm stuck in the mud again. No way to work nor school, customer relations stated they do not rent vehicle for lease purchases and they can pro rate the days I'm left without a vehicle. They will not give me the number or address to their Corp. I'm being punished for something that's not my fault. I felt like I'm am not being treated fair as a customer to put all my money into a so called dependable 128 point inspected vehicle to depend on and transmission went out. I thought I was getting the best service ever but I'm back looking for a ride to and from. Never again DriveTime! MS has a strict lemon law policy.

This has been by far my worst vehicle purchase ever. It is my own fault for not following customary practice and taking a mechanic to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase... however I trusted in the "Multi Point Vehicle Inspection" and the fact the vehicle is under warranty. I have had several significant repairs within the first year of ownership and the warranty process is completely useless. In fact the car left me stranded just two days after purchase due to faulty battery terminal wires. In order to meet the minimum deduction of $100 for a repair, you have to stay within network... Well there are only three centers within a reasonable distance from me... the staff at one facility is extremely rude... and plan on taking off from work with no weekend availability.
If you select the option of going outside of network, then your deductible is $200 which for my repairs was almost the cost of for each incident... so it wasn't worth filing a claim. A lot of the basic maintenance on the car was not completed/inspected by Drive Time prior to purchase... The mechanic who did my first initial tune up commented that the plugs were of the cheapest quality and most likely at least several years old based on the poor condition. The brakes had to be replaced on all four wheels within two months... a new battery and belts shortly thereafter... tires were bald at about 6 months... etc. Oh and here is another note of caution... the AC did not work prior to purchase... The sales person committed to have that fixed before delivery...
It started blowing hot about a day after leaving the lot. The temps were a little cooler with Fall so it was bearable... and the sales person told me that was covered without the deductible for the first year as it was reported prior to purchase. I had to wait a few months based on my travel schedule and availability at the shop... Well I still had to pay the deductible for work they promised to repair before I committed to buy. So maybe when a big repair like a transmission comes along, there is a sense of relief of not having to pay for the entire job... or I'll see. But currently the warranty that was included in my high priced vehicle with the extreme interest does not justify the additional expense.

My neighbor and I went to DriveTime last week to buy a car. She picked out a car with 95k. It is due at 90k. I asked if the timing belt had been replaced. They said they did not have records on the cars they were selling. I waited till the next day and was told that if I am not the owner I cannot get such information. I asked several people and was told the same thing. I was told to call Aeverex their warranty provider and they said that unless it broke and they fixed it they had no records.
I told them she is 68 years old and does not need to be in a car with a timing belt that is going to break at any time... even if the warranty covers the damage. It does not cover the inconvenience, nor does it prevent damage to the car... which will be great if it breaks. They REFUSE to give corporate number to ask questions or to voice concerns. She likes the car and knows she is paying too much for it, but is okay with that. Sad that my referral had me treated like a common identity thief and that they do not seem to be concerned about the welfare of their customers. I am sad I referred her to a company that would rather have the customer break down rather than do preventive care.

I went to the Pershall location first. Service there was not as great and still having issues from what took place there. However, the Lindbergh location is a lot better with better choice in cars. I could not get financed without a cosigner without a crazy down payment and DriveTime made it possible for me to get a decent car. The interest is crazy and so are the payments, but it is the price one has to pay to fix his or her credit. Hopefully, I can refinance soon. Just make sure to pick a reliable vehicle... maybe the ones used as fleet and have a reputation for being long lived. I got an '09 Corolla with less than 100,000 miles. Keep up with payments and make sure to set aside because the cars are used... most high mileage and something will likely happen. The warranty should help a lot.

This company lies, after over 2 years of paying for my 2008 Scion XD, I'm still over 11,000 on the car. I find myself wishing for someone to run into me and total the vehicle out just so that I can be done with this stupid car. I have not had any repair issues, unless you count the fact that each tire costs 250 before installation but that is not DriveTime's fault. What is their fault is preying on people with bad credit. I cannot refinance my vehicle or trade it in b/c no one will touch it. I can get approved for a new car loan, but only if I don't trade in my vehicle... NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT!
I'm moving soon to a place where I will need 4-wheel drive in the winters and can get approved for the new vehicle but only if I don't trade in my Scion! In over 2 years, I've only touched 2000 of the principle balance and I put down 1000 at signing! The interest rate is ridiculously high and I was told they reported to all 3 credit bureaus and I find out that they are only reporting to 1, so what does that mean you might ask? My credit is not improving even though I have never been late on my payments.
I am going to be doing a voluntary repo on the vehicle and will take the hit on my credit, as I can get a new car and pay less in interest than I owe on this one. I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE! Lenders are more willing to work with people with credit issues today more than in the past. I have also hired a lawyer and have been recommended that I put a civil suit on this company for their lies about credit reporting. If they give me any difficulty on my voluntary repo, I will sue them for everything I've paid plus what I owe as they have not held up their end of the bargain so why should I hold up mine. My lawyer says that I would be about his tenth suit against this company and he wishes they would quit selling cars in this state.
Hi Charlotte,
We are sorry that you were unhappy with the pricing of your vehicle financing. Because DriveTime specializes in financing for people with less than perfect credit, the interest rate on the financing can be quite high. The total price of the vehicle can be higher because it sometimes includes optional products such as the Vehicle Protection Plan, and Gap Insurance.

Drive Time financed me a car with multiple issues. I purchased the car on June 7, 2014, which was a Saturday. On Sundays they are closed. I noticed a knocking in the wheel on Sunday when I drove the car. I called (KD the salesman) Drive Time on Monday morning; my adult daughter and I took the car back on the third day (Monday). KD drove the car and said that the car just needed a tire balance which was an out of pocket expense for me. Although, I took the car back within the five days return and no questions asked; Drive Time did not take the car back.
An additional issue with the Chrysler 200 (2012) is the car had a Recall that was not mention. Another issue, the entire front end of the car was put back together with glue, screws missing, clips missing, shields and other parts from an apparent accident. A third issue, the Shift Pan needed replacing. A fourth issue, the car had knocking noises. These are just to mention a few issues. I tried to get Drive Time to fix the car properly and/or switch the car. Having so many major issues with the car, Chrysler Car Dealership called and said, "you need to go take this car back to Drive Time to see if they will trade it out because, the car has too many issues".
I called Drive Time thinking the big company they are that they would do the right thing; however to my disappointment, I was told that they are not going to take the car back. An even bigger issue is I sent text messages as a method of communication. Although, I was told that I would receive a call back, a text message was sent instead per Drive Time (Megan). At the time and still to this day, I have issues with receiving text messages. How unprofessional to send out text messages when there is no guarantee that a customer received it. Because, I had so many issues with the car and although, I requested to change the car out, Drive Time refuse to do the honorable thing. The car was not reliable therefore, I could not get around like I should have been able to.

The experience overall was very simple. They offered me high rates, but that's more my fault. They got me approved when no one else could. Now for the sales associate, they were all friendly except one person. Don't recall her name because quite frankly did not care. She was very short, rude and has no people skills what so ever. It was about 100 out and she turned the a/c off in the car I was test driving because she thought it was too loud. No offense but I want to be the one to play with the controls and adjust the comfort level. She was very disrespectful and impatient. She tried correcting me on multiple things about the vehicle, that I had already researched. I am active duty, so I don't expect better treatment. But I also wasn't expecting a disrespectful attitude when asked questions about my pay and anything with my military status. If you don't know then just ask nicely, not with an attitude. Only gave 3 stars because of this one sales associate. Other than that I was very satisfied.

Two hours after delivery of the vehicle the check engine light lit and stayed on. After stopping at a mechanic the diagnostic code was retrieved and it was found that the condition has existed for some time and someone at Drivetime (Miamisburg, Ohio) turned off the check engine light so that it would not appear until after delivery of the vehicle. I must now schedule additional warranty service after only two hours after delivery.
Also, the day of delivery I expressed to the staff that I had a deadline and had to leave no later than 12:20 pm. Tyler, a staff member of Drivetime, left for lunch soon after being told this. I was late for work and almost lost my job. Unacceptable!

I wanted to highly recommend Matt (manager), Kevin (salesperson) and Covey (managed the contracts). They went above and beyond in the sale of my new Ford F150. I was in a huge time restraint to get a new truck and they did whatever they could. This transaction took place in three states. Buying the truck in Ohio, trading in my old truck in Arizona and having the co-signer sign the documents in California. I definitely had my doubts that they could pull it off within my time limits but sure enough they did!! Not to mention our 11-month=old daughter became fast friends with Matt, especially after he shared his donuts with her. :) I hope they get the recognition they deserve for this transaction and will recommend DriveTime to anyone I know looking for a new vehicle!

I got a car from DriveTime because of my credit. Was ok with the payments. What I am not ok with is the car being in the shop for over a month. I have only gotten to drive it for three days. Just got it back from the shop for the second time and still having the same issues. Called DriveTime - no help. They said my only options were to take it back to the shop or I can return the car and lose a vehicle and what I've paid so far and I can't buy another car from them for at least a year. Since I don't feel like paying for a car I can't drive I guess I will just take my losses and give the car back. It's a shame that they will lose a potential good customer over this. I will never refer them to anyone.

My wife and I made two appointments for Saturday afternoon, 1:15 at Drivetime and 3:00 at J.D. Byrider. We drove into DriveTime in a J.D. Byrider financed vehicle that we still owed $913 on it and didn't know if DriveTime would be able to help us. So that's why we also had an appointment with JD Byrider. We arrived at DriveTime knowing which vehicles we wanted to see because they were all posted online with pics, prices, mileage, features, vehicle history reports, etc. Although we planned on going to JD Byrider at 3 pm if necessary, we had no idea of what was on their lot because they didn't put their inventory online. At DriveTime we were greeted by Josie holding the door open for us with a smile. She took us to her desk and we were very quickly approved for a car. Before heading out I did a google search of the trade-in value of my old car, it came up $2770. DriveTime paid off the $913 I owed and credited me with a $3,100 down payment on top of that!
We looked at several vehicles and test drove our two favorites choosing a late model SUV with four-wheel-drive that met our rural living needs. The only complication of the day is that DriveTime needed to get what's called a 'ten day payoff' from JD Byrider to pay off our trade-in. But when JD Byrider was called they couldn't find me in their system although I was still making online payments and had an account number. It turns out the JD Byrider dealership I had got my old car from had went out of business (I had no idea) and their finance company, CNAC was transitioning that location's customers to another financier. I was lost in their system. DriveTime persisted calling about a dozen different JD Byrider/CNAC numbers in all being told that I didn't exist before they finally found someone who could find me and help them. During this process Paul from JD Byrider called me about my 3 pm appointment and I had the pleasure of telling them that I just purchased a vehicle from DriveTime.
In closing, we also got a five year warranty covering our engine, (4wd) drivetrain, transmission and air. If anything goes wrong all we have to do is pay a $100 deductible and they'll even provide a rental car. We were told of a referral program that will net us some big money when we tell our friends about our great experience at DriveTime and something that really impressed me is that when we get down to owing $4500, we can bring our vehicle in and they will 'forgive and forget' the entire balance if we buy another vehicle from them. With that kind of deal I expect to be driving DriveTime vehicles for the rest of my life. Phenomenal Experience!

My experience was awful. The workers at this location were rude. I only went to this location because of the variety of cars, otherwise I would of went back to the location in South County. This will be the last car we get through DriveTime. And that is saying something because I have referred over 10 people to the South County location. And this time around I've already had to pay 800 for repairs and I've had the car less than 4 days. I thought DriveTime was about having quality cars when I get into the car not having to put money in the car because all four shocks were so rotted I had to replace them - so it was safe for my 11 month old to be in the vehicle.

When I went into the Wyoming location, my experience started out good. Lara assisted me in looking at cars and suggesting test drives. We ended up needing to go look at a car at another location because the car I liked had mechanical issue, so she drove me down to your central location. When we got there, I ended up liking a different car than the one we went to go see. This is when my experience went downhill. She made me feel like she was pulling me away from the car I wanted. I asked to see the inside of the car and she couldn't find the keys so she said she went to go ask for the keys to it.
As I was waiting, I was looking at the outside of the vehicle. When I looked up after I noticed she had been gone for a while, I saw her texting on her cell phone, leaning against other cars. When she saw I saw her, she said "Well if you don't see anything you like, we should go." To which I replied that I had found something I liked and she was supposed to be getting the keys for it. She then went inside. As it turns out, the car I wanted was not ready to go. I found out from Seth, the manager of that location. But Lara still tried to push this other car on me to which I said I wanted to wait for the car that was not ready.
On the drive back, she was speeding and on the phone and putting me on edge. It was still an hour and like 10 min before the lot was closing up. I ended up buying the car I waited for from Nichole at the central location whom I loved doing business with! Seth, Nichole and Sarah, as well as the lot attendant that helped clean the car, were all amazing and cared more about me instead of making the sale and put priority in making sure I got what I wanted. They put a courtesy hold on my car to make sure no one else took it when Lara had said there was no way to put a hold on a car. In the process of going over paperwork, Nichole found out that Lara had inputted my income information wrong and had told me a bunch of incorrect information. Overall, very unhappy with Wyoming location.

They found me a list of cars that would fit that criteria and I got to choose!...They did not try to push me into what I could not afford and all choices were nice! Once I picked my new car, they allowed me to place a very small holding payment to hold my car until I received the rest of my funds the following week.

I was told that I could trade up in 1 year to a better vehicle. I came in 2 years later and I haven't paid the balance down enough and they want more money in order to take my trade. Because the vehicle was priced so much higher than it was worth, I can't trade it in anywhere else because even after 2 years I owe too much. This company has done nothing but lie about pretty much anything. Their mechanics could never find anything wrong, even though the engine sputters and the check engine light has been on since the day after I bought it. DO NOT BUY from this company if you can help it. I have posted on facebook and am having everyone share my experience and I plan to put in a complaint with the BBB.
