    High Interest Rate. Gave me a 15.9% interest rate saying, "Most people get 25+%" interest rates. I was told a good rate was 2-9 and 9 being the most it should be especially since I have good credit.

    I purchased a 2008 Chrysler 300 from Drivetime have had the car less than a year.. Well the car stopped running and I had to have it towed to garage.. It was the Front control module (FCM) that had a short in it.. well figure since the car cost me $18,000 I assumed I had a good warranty (who would spend 18,000 on a car with a useless warranty). Well obvious I did, the warranty dept told me that that part is not covered in the warranty (WHAT!! ) so they would not cover that repair $800.00 dollar repair job on a $18,000 dollar car that is kinda cold. If I was the owner of Drivetime and I wanted to keep a loyal customer I would have at least offered to pay half.. but I got blew off. So thanks Drivetime I've always had high marks for you guys but I question that decision now.. merry christmas

    I purchased a 2004 pickup 4x4 on 16 Nov 2013. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, I went online shopping and reviewed several other web sites before coming to rest with DriveTime. The other sites either didn't have what I was interested in or the price was a bit too pricey for what I would pay. My first encounter with DriveTime was a very positive one even though they didn't have the 4x4 I was seeking. The sales person Mr. Dontavian ** told me he would search for a 4x4 through other locations and follow up soon. He did. I met up with him, we talked. He had me sold after about 45 to an hour.

    The selling points for me were, 30-day warranty, Gap insurance, history report and the patience he had with me. I asked a handful of questions. I have not had a car payment since 2003 and I was a bit hesitant. His salesmanship eased the tension and I purchased the truck which he had to drive to Augusta, GA early that morning 2-hr trip one way and return before I go to work later that evening. Thanks, DriveTime and the entire staff of Union City, GA.

    Have had to literally walk to work for 5 days, 3 business and a weekend. The Columbus GA office was completely and totally inept at receiving and returning the completed contract. While walking, Georgia was hit with a cold spell, so the walks were that much more daunting. I will not ever recommend this dealership at any location to anyone else. I can only imagine what loopholes maintenance will come with. The lone beacon of hope in this process has been Ms. LaTasha **.

    I came to the Decatur DriveTime to do the initial paperwork the day before my appointment so that my appointment would be quicker. When I got there Kat ** assisted me with all the paperwork and worked with the financial side to get me approved for zero down so I only had to make the one trip. Then she worked to help me find a vehicle after going through five or six that did not work out. She found one I liked and qualified for. And lastly she and the other crew stayed late to get it all done so I didn't have to come back the next day. All in all, it was more than I expected!

    I was trying to Google search places on the internet to be able to buy a car. Their advertisement was what really got me on Google because it said like almost anybody can get approved and that they worked with people. I chose DriveTime instead of a different auto dealer because everywhere else around here wanted a cosigner or wanted me to put a crazy amount of money down. But at DriveTime, they made it really easy to pick from the vehicles they had to offer me, and they even have the vehicles that I didn’t have to put any money down.

    It was my first time shopping with DriveTime. It’s going to be 2 weeks this Saturday since I bought my Nissan Versa. It only had 32,000 miles on it, 2012. You really couldn’t beat it. It’s practically brand new. I really had a good experience with them. I got the car that I needed.

    We financed the new vehicle and I just have a payment every two weeks. The process was really simple once I got it through the dealership. I do have one complaint. In the end, it all worked out, so it’s really not that big of a deal. But I was told I was approved over the phone from the Utah office that I saw a certain car. This is the car I want and they said, “Hey, great! You’re already approved for it. All you have to do is go up there with these three things and you can walk away with that car.” And when I got there, they were like, “You can’t have that car. You can have these cars, but you can’t have that one.”

    It’s not that I have bad credit; I just don’t have enough credit history. But I had explained that to the office in Utah and they told me that was fine. So I was under the impression I was going to be able to get the vehicle I had been looking after. Overall, they were just really easy to work with. If I refer anybody, I get $100 off my payment.

    I am thankful for a second chance to rebuild my credit that was once very good. I love the vehicle I purchased. I understand that people with bad credit are high risk. The high prices and extremely high APR I feel just sets most working and/or struggling folks up for more more failure. I wish I'd come here first when I purchased the vehicle I traded in. I paid on it faithfully for two years and the place I got it from wasn't even reporting to any of the credit bureaus. Thank you for your help, Drivetime.

    I had an excellent experience working with DriveTime. They knew my financing guidelines and worked to find a vehicle that would fit within my budget. Everyone was very helpful and I would recommend to others. However, I did become frustrated that the process of closing on the car took so long. We were at the dealership for 3 1/2 hours just to sign everything to bring the car home, even though we had an appointment, and our salesman had confirmed that time and the terms of the purchase. It would have been helpful for the dealership to have had more of the paperwork ready when we got there. Otherwise, I really felt everyone was super professional and helpful.

    The people at DriveTime were very punctual. They were super-duper friendly being that I’m a loyal client. I paid off the first car a little bit fast but they honored everything. I got a couple more payments left on the previous car but when I came back, they reviewed my record and my history with them and I ended up in some kind of VIP, something called the Champ Program. And they saw where I had never been late and stood by me. They checked their vehicle before they gave it to me and gave me more information that I needed as far as hospitality.

    My credit score was up pretty fair. But prior to that, they helped me get that higher credit score because they did walk through what will make my credit score and purchasing better and what will give me better buying power. And I thought that was pretty cool. They didn’t haggle with me. They let me do the decision making.

    I’m going to get a third car from them. I want more people to know that they will work for them. Not only with them but they work for the people. Their slogan needs to be, “For the people,” because they really try to help.

    I am a return customer of DriveTime. My first car was paid on time and I paid it off early. I moved overseas and returned 7/13/13 and needed to get another car. Because of my previous experience, I returned to Drive Time. I have even referred at least 3 people in times past to DT where they purchased their cars. I purchased a 04 Infiniti G35 which appeared to be in good condition. Within one day, I returned because the a/c wasn't getting cool enough. The service department put new freon in the car to address that problem. A month and a half later, I had the brakes replaced. The mechanic made me aware of a suspension problem; the front and rear arms were completely bad and nonexistent.

    I called the warranty company and they said it was not covered and advised me to contact the dealership. When I contacted the dealership, I was told they can’t do anything but to contact customer service. In the meantime, I went to have a routine oil change and to my surprised was hit with almost $1600 worth of repairs that need to be done. I called customer service and they directed me to the new loans department. The person I spoke with was extremely rude and basically told me that it's a personal issue So, I contacted customer service again where I was told by the agent that I could hold off on the payment until I got the car fixed the week of Thanksgiving, and I could submit receipts for the month to adjust my payment.

    Additionally I was told that she could not stop the calls because it was automated but that I could call her once a week to note that I am still maintaining contact and is still planning the repairs for that week. Today, I received another call and was told that it will go on my credit after 31 days and that I should make a payment; that if I hold off, I am cutting it close with the modification request because it is not guaranteed. As I shared with the rep, my history with DT speaks for me in that not only do I pay my car notes but I paid it off early. I am frustrated because the issues that I am having with my car will not all be able to be addressed at this point since I must make a payment to keep it from going on my credit and there is nothing that I can do about being sold a bad car. I am highly disappointed and will never do business again with DT after this experience, and will encourage others not to either.

    Bought my car from DriveTime and financed it with them and they did a bait and switch on me. Now some company called Santander is the company that I pay. Watch out for these guys, all smiles and grins. Must be they know what is about to happen. God forbid that you miss a payment, 10 to 15 calls a day. Then when the car gets repoed and damaged, they wash their hands of all things.

    Hi Roger,

    Previously, some of our loans were administered by Santander Car Loans and offered our customers the same or comparable options to our regular, in-house financing. If you had trouble making payments, did you call prior to missing a payment and request an extension? It's unclear if you still have your car or not, but if you do please call our customer relations department at 888-290-0148 who can offer assistance to get your loan back on track.

    The only suggestion is to have a higher standard when prepping or delivering the vehicle. If the vehicle came with floor mats, power wash them, vacuum them, and lay them in the rear of the vehicle for the customer to see. Don't throw them away. If the floor mats are beyond cleaning, then throw them away and put in a set of floor mats as a customer courtesy. I used to work as a prep tech in a car dealership. You can see the example of what I am telling you about at goldsteinauto.com. Just pick ANY used car and see the pictures. They will include the pictures of the floor mats. After all, I did spend a lot of money on this vehicle. It should have INCLUDED them.

    After reading all of these reviews, I decided to try a little test of my own. I submitted a fake online name with fake address and personal info. Guess what? The fake info was APPROVED for over $20,000 in financing on a car from Drive Time. Folks, these people are FRAUDS! The pre-approval means absolutely NOTHING!! They put a GPS tracker on the car when you buy it. If you fall behind ONE day on the payment, all they have to do is punch up that GPS and BAM that car is repossessed.

    If you are in DIRE need of a vehicle and have no choice, then do NOT buy more car than you can afford to pay for. Do NOT believe their promises--the salesmen are there to make $ NOT be your new BFF. And car warranties are usually crap unless it is the one that comes from the factory on the car, most will NOT be worth the $ you pay for them, so do NOT count on it to be there for you if you purchase one. If you purchase a vehicle, cultivate a relationship with a decent mechanic for the make of your vehicle. If you find a car you like BEFORE you buy it, take some time and do an internet search to see if there are any recalls on it - many times cars will have things wrong with them they will already be covered under a recall. Lastly, remember that if it is not in writing then you have nothing to stand on.

    I had the best experience at DriveTime each time. All you need is a little patience and it pays off.... it really does. I want to thank the Mesa facility for the most pleasant time. From the test drive of both vehicles to the best tasting popcorn. I want to Thank Robert, Corina, Kim, and for my second visit Mrs. Jackie and of course Josh. The best treatment and respect I could ask. They did their best both times and it paid off. I got the vehicle I wanted without hesitation and the transition was so smooth. Thank you, DriveTime, for everything!!

    My salesman's name was Andy and he took very good care of me. Not only me but my family too. I had two small children with me and he was patient with all of us. Well not just Andy but the whole dealership was patient with my restless 4-year old and my newborn. The sales manager was great. I was treated with respect and they catered to my needs as to what I was looking for in a vehicle. I got the exact vehicle I was looking for and they really took the time out to put me in a car that I wanted and made sure I was able to stay within my budget. I would recommend this dealership to anyone who asked my opinion on where to purchase a vehicle.

    The people are very nice and helpful. I loved my last car through DriveTime but needed bigger, so used the champ program and got into a bigger vehicle. Several years ago I went to buy my first car. I had money for down payment and all but no credit history so everyone wanted cosigners etc. So what started out as exciting turned to frustration when no one would help. We happened to drive by DriveTime and my boyfriend pulled into the lot. And we looked and to make a long story short, I walked out with my car. Thank you DriveTime for giving me the chance to prove myself.

    I was in a major accident in Feb of this year with my kids and husband in the car. My truck was totaled but we were all ok. Bad thing we needed a new car and with really crappy credit scores we decided on Drive Time. Big mistake. We put 2000 down on an 05 Dodge Durango and we were also at the dealership for 6 and a half hours!!! And anyone out there with a 5 and 6 year old knows we were miserable. After getting our car it was about 2 weeks when the issues started. Out of nowhere my entire dash lit up and all my gauges were on and the worst part was no headlights, break lights, emergency lights, nothing. Also the drive shaft would get stuck in park.

    I called Drive Time and reported the issue to them and the warranty center. 7 months later the problem is still occurring and nothing has been done. The car is very unsafe to drive specially when my lights out of nowhere stop working. Also every mechanic I took the car to recommended by the warranty center said there's nothing wrong when the car is in park and the speedometer is saying I'm going 70 mph. But God forbid I'm late on a payment. They call everyone we know!!!!!!!!! I have tried to trade this vehicle in with other car dealerships and also with Drive Time and no one will take it!!! If anyone has advice on what I can do I would be so grateful. I will NEVER AGAIN GO TO DRIVE TIME OR RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

    We have had our check engine light on since we bought the car. We keep taking it in and having to pay the deductible to be told to take it back and pay deductible again. One time Amacco did not charge us. He too thought they were being unfair. They have taken over 8 months to change our payment plan, which they pushed on us. And after we thought we got it squared away we still get harassing phone calls 2 weeks out of the month from them. We have asked for help in writing to no avail. Our due date is either 24th or 27th of the month now and just 2 days ago they were calling my references. We called last night. They say we are 3 days late. So after one day late calling our references, when we are not late because due date is the 24th.

    In 2 weeks one time we got 52 phone calls from Drivetime and my husband explained to one guy we have new contract. We pay monthly but the guy said we do not and we need to pay our bills...So I refaced contract again and requested help. I emailed everyone who has emailed me for help, stopping the harassment with no change!! Still almost 2 years later engine light is on, has been the whole time and harassment because they cannot get their systems right.. I want to get in on lawsuit if anyone knows of one pertaining to our problem.

He also gave me information for two in network auto shops to get my vehicle looked at.

    This was my first time EVER getting a car. I also went in by myself not really knowing the process that it takes to get a car. I am 24 years young and my mom told me to go check out Drive Time off of Capital Blvd. I went and the help I received was excellent. It was for a GOOD bit of the time, but that was mainly due to me wanting to test drive different cars. The sales rep I had, Travis, was very patient with me. He understood that picking a car is not a fast process, unless you already have in mind the exact car you want. The best thing about Drive Time that I really loved is that they do trade-ins and also create a car list for you that is affordable for you income. They make it work so that the car payments will be based on your income and not what retail suggest. One of the managers, Jason, was also VERY helpful in helping with paperwork, making a decision, and helping making everything affordable!

    I enjoyed my 2nd experience w/ DT. I think it's a great place to buy vehicles & the sales people are great. I've had to also some service work my last truck & it was so simple, no hassle, quick & easy. Yes this is the car truck buying place.

    Drive time is definitely the place you would want to go and getting a car! Drive time gives you hope and making sure when you leave with the car. They check everything to make sure its working. And not only that they will give you the history about where the car been before you purchase it. So people go to them. Their job is to help you get a car.

    I bought a car from Drive Time in June this year. And in October, I was in a car accident and the car was totaled. As soon as my insurance information was received, the sales associates got me into a newer model by five years, with less mileage, a lower interest rate, and my payments are nearly the same. I saved over $7,000 thanks to the total loss coverage. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my car and buying experience with Drive Time and I will highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a car.

    I could not be more pleased with my experience with the bulk of Drive Time's staff and process. The salesperson I worked with, Nick, was friendly, understanding, and easy to work with. He explained things quite well and took the time to ask questions. DriveTime says that their customers are not just a credit score number, and I believe that! They definitely lived true to their word on that, and I was treated quite well as they worked with my financial information to find a payment that would work with me. My only complaint is that when I was ready to buy, it took almost two hours to get the papers ready and go over them with me. However, I understand that it may have been a busy night.

    I have never had a more miserable car buying experience in my life, and I'm 56. Took me 3 days to buy this car. I needed a co-signer, because I co-signed for someone else. The salesman at the dealership assured me that all of my paperwork was done and ready, all we needed to do was my co-signer's part. We went into the dealership at exactly 9am, when they opened to finish this up. We had a non-flexible time limit that we had to be out by. Three hours later, they were still miffing around with who knows what. My paperwork was not only completed, but not really even started. Bring pay stubs... nope, don't need them. Bring them, no don't bring them...

    Three hours after arriving on day 2, I had no choice but to leave. Went in again the next day and somehow, got it all together, and I am now driving my van. But, had this have been my 1st experience with DT, I'd never go back again. The whole process was rocky, and did not run well or smoothly at all. I could go on and on, but won't. I'm not happy with this experience.

    Predatory lending on Blacks and lower income consumers. Drive Time sells HIGH mileage, overpriced cars at obscene interest rates above 25% and puts customers on bi-weekly payments they can’t afford. They prey on low informed consumers, they lie about warranty coverage and they terrorize customers via criminal collections practices - breaking F.D.C.P.A. and harassing employers causing job loss and humiliation. Ernie **, founder, is a criminal with an arrest record. Look him up. They have criminals in management, stemming from Battery to Criminal DWI. Characters such as Al ** with multiple sexual harassment complaints are part of the corrupt culture of this criminal organization.

    Although the Norfolk dealership did not have the car I wanted, they were able to get it from Newport News the very next day. On the day I signed for it, Norfolk store was having technical difficulties, so we had to go to the Chesapeake store to do all the paperwork. It was an interesting day, but not a stressful one. Heather and Tim were fantastic at helping with the finance questions and Antoine was great with answering all my car questions. Overall, it was a fantastic and pleasant experience.
