Experience was good while buying the car.....but driving home the car would not accelerate and the engine light came on. Car had to go into the shop to be repaired. I haven't had the car for 24 hours. Kind of disappointed. The in take line had to be replaced. Made an 8 am appointment and still don't have my car back. Good chance I will have to miss work.

Honestly I was torn after reading the reviews, but I stepped out on my FAITH! I set my appt and Chase called me too confirm. I went in the next day and met with Chase, he was AMAZING from start to finish. He answered all my questions, even gave me some background information on my Nissan. He was great, at the end of the deal, Adrian assisted him with the paperwork. He was good as well!

I had an excellent experience purchasing a vehicle with DriveTime. Matt was our salesman. Matt was professional, prompt in helping me out, knowledgeable, and made the whole purchasing process smooth. Matt was also very fast. Highly recommend! We will return to see Matt for our future purchases. Thank you, DriveTime.

I worked with Justin and Devon and the NE Nashville/Madison, TN location and they were both Amazing!! Devon was very personable, not pushy, and straight forward.

I feel like Gabrielle listened to me and did not waste a lot of time trying to talk me into things I was not interested in. I was in a hurry and trying to rush things and I felt he did his best to accommodate me. I visited several other dealerships but, ultimately I was most happy with Drive Time and completed my purchase with Drive Time for that reason.

I brought a 2018 Hyundai Tucson on May 5, 2024 from Drive Time in New Castle, DE. When I drove it off the lot, I noticed the car would not accelerate to the speed it should have been going. I took the car back the very next day, on May 6th. Advised the sales Rep (Charles **) of the problem, he says “Do you want to purchase another car?” No, I want Drive Time to fix this one before selling it to someone. He advised me that they could not fix the car, to take it to Fire Stone in New Castle, and gave me the number to Silver Rock Warranty.
My car was sitting at Fire Stone for approximately 2 weeks before letting me know that the car needed breaks, rotors, a catalytic converter, and O2 sensor. I was advised that Fire Stone could replace the brakes and rotors, but the car needed to be towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer to have the catalytic converter taken care of. My car has been sitting at Hyundai for 2 1/2 weeks now and I am now being told that Silver Rock is not willing to cover the catalytic converter. A manager from Hyundai dealership stated the converter wasn’t covered under the Hyundai warranty either.
I have yet to drive and enjoy my car but I’ve been making biweekly payments on this car since the beginning of June! I advised Charles ** that I was going to have the car towed back to Drive Time to return it BEFORE the 30 days. He stated that I could not return the car after 5 days. Even though l advised him and his manager that the car has been in the shop with the same consistent problem it’s has since I drove it off the lot. The manager’s exact words were, “It’s past the 5-day return policy, it’s in your contract and you have to keep it.” No remorse, no apology, no solution to fix the proble, they clearly knew was wrong with the car in the beginning. Left me with a car I can’t drive and take my money! Called customer care, she said to keep making the payments or they will report it to my credit! This is what Drive Time is doing to innocent customers!

I have dealt with them before and was always professional and courteous. The first time I did business with them I was purchasing a Jeep Renegade. The test drive went well, once I signed the paperwork and started home, the transmission went out. I had gone straight back and did a drive with the sales guy and he then put me into another car. Not many dealerships would have done that same thing as fast as they did. 5 star customer service.

I started with Joe who turned in paperwork to get started. By time I got there every sales person was busy and I and a few others had to wait. As with any auto sales it’s a process to get to the car and drive then the overload of paperwork must be done. I got an older vehicle in well kept condition that has been a fleet car. Yes it has a recall which these sales don’t address but it very easy to fix at the dealership. I dealt with Tony yesterday and he did his best to get all the paperwork done as soon as possible. Thankfully there was a grocery store close by cause it’s a time consuming process. I came home in my car with groceries for dinner and very happy with my purchase.
I just can’t believe the price of cars nowadays. So y'all go to Drivetime and see Tony and get your deal. They do have some nice vehicles available. Best of luck in your auto hunt but try DriveTime and give them a chance. There is a thorough checklist that is completed with the customer on the car before you pay and sign paperwork which is very good when buying a used vehicle. Thanks Drivetime!!

I bought a car in Mobile, AL at DriveTime. This is the 3rd day I had the car and I realized it had maggots under the seat. After I called them and explained everything they told me it was nothing they could do for me because I was over the 300 mile limit. I live in Andalusia, AL so as soon as I bought the car I passed 300 miles the first day just for me to get home after the purchase. So now they have stuck me with a car that has maggots under the seat and won’t help me or let me trade it in. This was by far the worst place ever to buy a car!!! And to let it be known they knew it had maggots in it because they told us they power washed the trunk…. Who power washes a trunk and what was back there for you to have to wash it that heavy… Just for me to get home and they say they can’t do anything!!

Although I bought a vehicle, I am not satisfied with my experience. I chose a 2016 Ford Explorer but discovered a chip in the windshield. The salesperson explained they would have it looked at and would call me when it was time to pick it up. She never explained that I was on a special 2% discount on my APR. When I was called 4 days later to pick up the vehicle, that incentive was removed and the payment went up by almost $40. It was DriveTime's responsibility to ensure the vehicle was ready to be sold and therefore should have provided the discounted APR instead of trying to pull a fast one.
I purchased a 2016 Taurus for less money with a higher APR but still had a smaller payment. This was only done because I absolutely needed a car. You should honor the original incentive so I was able to purchase the vehicle I wanted. This same thing was done to a friend of mine that purchased a car a few days before. You had his car in the shop for almost month and did not honor the discounted APR that was given. I could understand doing this if either of us were still trying to decide on buying BUT, we both said yes and both vehicles had to go in for repairs. This is bad business and you should find a way to honor what you originally promised.

I normally use a credit union and get pre-approved before go to a dealership to buying a car. This was different, I got pre-approved with drivetime online by just putting in my info. Then, I looked and found a couple of vehicles I liked. Found and reviewed the free car fax offered on the site for each one and made my choice. Set an appointment to see and test drive. The next day I arrived, my husband and I was greeted and meet with Rodney my salesman (Nice guy). After 4hrs, we had testing driving, checking vehicle and features, verifying bank and employment, signing papers and watching a couple of videos, we were all good to go.
They also have a points system to take off APR%? That was cool, my interest rate we down with the points thing, not sure how it works but glad it did! I read a lot of bad reviews and saw people coming in complaining. Apparently, couple of people got in accidents after buying a car and opted out of any extended coverage. That sucks. If you look for bad, you gonna find it. I gave it a chance and glad I did. I rarely give anything 5 stars but this was better than any other car buying experience.

Updated on 06/06/2024: If I can help someone from getting a lemon from DriveTime Memphis I am. Update on my vehicle the engine is bad and Kia told me that I have paperwork showing that it needs to be replaced. Now my car is not driveable from the last review I put on here. This company does not do right by their customers. I’ve only had this car 3 months now and I have no transportation due to the Kia needing a new engine. Not to mention it’s a 2022 Kia with less than 50k miles with a junkyard engine in it not the original engine. So yes I now have engine failure.
The engine isn’t covered under the factory warranty with Kia because Drivetime has a junkyard motor in the car. If it was the original I would’ve been able to get it fix. That Kia has a factory warranty up to 100k miles guess what doesn’t apply to me because Drivetime not having the original engine in the vehicle. You guys the whole engine is shaking under the hood uncontrollably. Beware of this company. I’m suffering. I have no way back and forth to work and losing wages from this. I will be finding a lawyer. I refuse to let them get away with this.
Original review: I purchased a vehicle from Memphis location January of 2024. Today 3 months later I find out from Kia that I need a new engine and on top of that I don’t have the correct engine in my truck. I'm disappointed that no one consulted this with me and even put a used engine in a 2022 that’s under 50k miles that’s still under warranty. Don’t understand why DriveTime would put a used motor in my Kia knowing it’s still under factory warranty. I have a truck with an engine will go out any day. I’ve already been experiencing issues with the truck. This is bad business.

Well let me tell you about my experience with Drivetime. You know this thing they have on TV about making the deal before you buy. Well that a lie. I made the deal, had my car picked out, and When it came time to sign the car was 100.00 more and the interest was almost 30%. After getting the car home to really look at it, you could see the different between the driver side and the passenger side. The driver side had been in a wreck.
There was no rubber around the doors and there was a couple of dents in both doors on the driver side. In reading the book that came with the car it says that I'm suppose to have a push button ignition. NOT. I have a key. I have no spare tire. I have fix a flat instead. The book is for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee sport. I'm sure I will find more things not right with the jeep. The dealership wants me to call the warranty place to get the repairs done. If Drivetime would inspect the cars and not rely on paperwork solely they might see a lot of these defects before they try and sell they cars, trucks.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and patient!!
After test driving and picking a car I loved, I moved along to Annabelle, an amazing Customer Experience Guide. She was professional, friendly, kind, extremely helpful and patient!

On Thursday, May 2, 2024 I went to the Drive Time lot on Cassat Ave. in Jacksonville, FL. I had an appointment for 3:00 PM but got there about ten minutes early. I was greeted by everyone at the location and was introduced to my sales person, Allan **. We went over to his desk and started the process of determining what I could get with my guidelines of no more than 500.00 per month and 500.00 down. Alan did his "Magic" and came back with a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, that I had actually looked at online the day before, talk about Karma!
I took the vehicle for a spin and liked it very much. Then we talked about the numbers, Alan told me that with 0 down and for 610.00 per month I could get it. I explained I just could not afford that and reminded him about my 500 payment limit. He then suggested if we worked the numbers with a down payment we could see. He also told me that the price included the extended warranty, the gap coverage, and one other optional service. So we ran the numbers with only the extended warranty and 300 down. It came back at 572, but knowing that it included the extended warranty and gap coverage, both of which I had planned to buy anyway, I decided this was in my budget.
Then came the trouble. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with Alan or Drive Time, it took me four hours to get insurance. I was getting so much run around and craziness from the main insurers, but, Alan to the rescue. He put me in touch with a low rate insurance company in Orlando, and within 45 minutes I had insurance for a lower down payment and lower monthly fee. Alan ** is the MAN!! I will not hesitate to tell anyone I know looking for a good used vehicle to go visit Alan at Drive Time.

If I could give a double zero I would. First, sales persons did not acknowledge my presence inside the dealer. Second, all sales men treated me like I was a child, making fun of my disability and my presence. I persisted informing that I wanted to purchase a vehicle, this was not my first or only purchase. Third, After checking my credit they attempted to throw me out as they were laughing at me. They do it as a "team." All the men in the office were unkind. That's the day, I said I would never purchase a vehicle from them even if given the opportunity. Since then I have purchased several vehicles. That dealership is in Albuquerque, NM.... With poor sales, the business decided to up their Advertising. With flexible credit you can buy a car at any dealer. Unless you have squeeky clean credit, substantial downpayment, between 4 to 6,000, and a trade-in if possible, only then will DriveTime salesmen talk to you.

My experience with Drivetime has been nothing short of a nightmare. When we initially purchased a vehicle, they approved us for one model, only to switch it last minute for a different year with any explanation of, "We sorry. We can only approve this one." To make matters worse, the vehicle hadn’t even undergone a basic inspection, as evidenced by the lack of an oil change.
Within the first month of ownership, we faced multiple costly repairs, all out of our own pocket despite purchasing their warranty. We even had to replace the entire engine within the first year of owning the vehicle, costing us thousands of dollars. Every time we reached out for help, they deflected blame onto us, making us feel like it was our fault for expecting a reliable vehicle. Even now, with the repaired engine showing issues again, they refuse to take responsibility or offer any meaningful assistance. It’s clear they prioritize profit over customer satisfaction, and I urge anyone considering doing business with Drivetime to steer clear and avoid the headaches and financial strain we’ve endured.

I want to start by saying everyone at Drivetime is not like this. Thank you to the ones that gave great customer service. When I got my first car from Drivetime there was urine in the car from the previous drive (very nasty) and the engine light came on the first day so I took the car back and got my money back. I had to wait 9 days to get my refund because I was not told at check out that I could use credit to make my payment. That was very stressful having to wait that long for my down payment.
A manager from the Marietta location was able to refund me money after waiting those long 9 days. Went and bought the second car and the passenger side door had to be locked and unlocked manually. So I took the car back because it would have been an hassle trying to get the door fixed so I went back to get another car and while I was trading my car in at the Stone Mountain location the manager come over to me. Her name was Shay and tells me: "This your third car with us right?" I answered yes.
Shay responded, "If you try to get another car with us the 4th time might be a no and Drivetime might not be for you!!!" I responded, "Yes ma’am." I did not argue with her. I simply said ok. How dare you say that comment to me after everything that I have gone through trying to find the right car for me!!! Shay you are right. Drivetime might not be for me but God had me where I was supposed to be. The level of customer service and empathy for my situation was overlooked … I was given nasty looks and talked about like I didn’t see … so I figured I would leave my comment here.

Bait and Switch. Beware of this dealership. I applied for financing online and received an "Approved" status (not "Pre-approved") without any mention of being "Subject to" anything. The email instructed me to proceed to pick out my vehicle. I spoke with a salesperson in Madison, TN, over the phone, specifically because of my work situation. I had just started my job this week and had only worked two days for this pay period. I informed him that I didn't have a paystub yet and the one I would receive next Friday would not represent a full pay period. He assured me that this wouldn't be a problem.
I also mentioned my specific need for a large vehicle such as a van, a full-size SUV, or a full-size station wagon. I explained that I needed this for my new job and did not want to spend more than $10,000. Once again, he assured me that wouldn’t be an issue, saying, "We have several vehicles that meet those requirements. Come on over and take a look." I explained that I was driving over 2 hours and he said he would see me in the afternoon.
I drove the two hours to the dealership. A different salesperson greeted me and I reiterated my specific needs. He checked on his computer and told me he had a 2019 van that should work. Then he dropped the bombshell, saying the payment would be $320…every two weeks ($640 per month). When I asked him about the price of the van, he told me it was something over $19,000. Once again, I repeated my needs. That's when the manager, Justin **, stepped in and told me that the lowest-priced vehicle on the lot was $12,900. They didn't have any vehicles under $10,000!
I reminded him of my conversation over the phone. He said they had no record of my call. So, I showed him the 11-minute, 23-second call history logged on my phone to the number on the business card he handed me. I told him that I had driven over 2 hours because of what I was told over the phone, and this was a classic "bait-and-switch" tactic. His response? "I'm sorry." That was his resolution, to feel sorry for me! I then asked him if he was going to compensate me for the over 4 hours I had traveled (I still had to drive home) or at least for the fuel. He replied that he couldn’t do that but he would handle the problem with the salesperson. I'm not sure how he planned to do that because they had no record of my call.
I left and called the corporate office in Tempe, Arizona, and registered a complaint. Once again, I was told, "I'm sorry about that." (That must be what they are trained to say.) Avoid doing business with this company. They take advantage of people who have credit and employment challenges and are in desperate need of transportation. They expect most people to just accept what they offer without questioning it. They claim on their website that they have cars "Under $10,000." They do not. The customer service person's answer was that the inventory was always changing. The manager told me they didn’t carry vehicles under $10,000. What they did is criminal! Apparently, this is an acceptable practice for this company!

I'm a single mother of 3 young children and now I can't even afford to get a rental. I'm about to lose my job as well. I traded in my old vehicle for something worse. I appreciate the engine being covered under warranty but I still have to pay for deductible, for bi-weekly car payments, for highly recommended extra parts for the new engine now, plus my bills. And a whole new month is around the corner with upcoming bills. And I'm left with a, "There's nothing we can do for you!! Deal with warranty and whatever they offer you." But they were ready to lock me in on a $26,000+ car loan. I'm extremely disappointed I chose DriveTime.

Our sales person made everything run fast, smooth and accurately. Very professional. Made sure we were completely satisfied. Clyde is a very intelligent person to do business with. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality affordable vehicle. Drive Time is the fastest affordable place within 100 miles to purchase a good running, looking vehicle. I will tell family and friends about our experience. Will be a returning customer.

I started out in Pelham. Then I found online in Nashville Enclave. So I drove up to Nashville. Went to both Drivetimes there. Everyone and I mean everyone treated me so good. Smoothest sale I’ve ever had. Paperwork no big deal. Then their finance people called me.. DRIVE TIME I hope you realize how many great people you have working for you. And I will definitely buy my next car from you.. Just because of the people you have working there… THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!!!

Very detailed about the process. Made the buying process enjoyable. I was given videos to watch, a checklist to go over the car, 3 options for incentives and payments. The salespeople that I worked with were prompt in getting back to me and very pleasant in person. I was able to drive the car on the highway to really get the feel of the car. They gave me a link to help guide me around the city to get back to DriveTime. I would recommend them to a friend or family member.

I'm just going to copy an email I sent today to Drive Time customer service. Good morning, My name is DeShannon ** and I purchased a 2015 Honda Accord (**) from your Temple, TX dealership location dealer number P147567 on Friday, March 29, 2024. Yesterday I did call the dealership and asked to speak with a sales manager or dealership manager regarding some concerns and feedback I had. The person I spoke with was Kacie and I did give her the details of my concerns. I waited on hold for about 5 mins and then Kacie took my name and number to have him call me back. I was told at purchase that the vehicle had one minor accident. It visually appeared to me to have involved the front bumper as I could tell it didn't appear to be properly aligned in front. I actually pressed it with my hand to see if I could move it.
On yesterday, I went to a local carwash that I frequent and the bumper did come loose (away from the car) at the front. The bumper that is correctly attached to a car should come loose from a car wash. This is the second concern since I left the dealership on Saturday. I already have an appointment scheduled for Saturday with a mobile mechanic.
I called at opening Saturday March, 30th and my salesperson was with a customer. I don't recall the name of the person I spoke with. I expressed concerns at that time about the engine loudness upon acceleration. The engine sounds loud (like a truck) upon acceleration to pick up speed. This is not something I would have heard on a test drive around the block. I was advised about the warranty and told to go the website and look for in network providers to have the vehicle checked. It just seems as if I’m off to a rough start and I’ve had the vehicle less than a week and made zero payments. I would like to speak to someone regarding this matter. Please advise or put me in contact with who I need to speak to or do I need to just continue to call the dealership and see if I can get someone.

The salesman/customer experience representative who assisted throughout my buying process deserves a massive shoutout (and probably a raise). Keston was incredibly knowledgeable about each car in the inventory, providing useful information and helpful tips for each. He went above and beyond to get answers to all of my questions and made the buying process smooth and satisfying. Even my dad, who has bought nearly a dozen cars at different dealerships around the country, agreed that Keston was exceptional.
Thanks to him, I have a new car in excellent condition and I feel assured and confident that DriveTime was the very best choice of car dealership near me. If more salespeople were like Keston, there would never again be uncertainty or stress in buying a car. Thank you Keston, and thank you DriveTime! (Pictured is the model of Santa Fe that I ended up buying – a car which was not on my radar, but thanks to Keston and DriveTime's test-driving policy, I was able to find and happy to buy!)

Julius was soooo helpful, he answered all my questions in a respectful manner, he showed no signs of frustration the entire time I was there which was like 2 hours. I definitely recommend DriveTime to everyone out there trying to get a nice quality card for good prices with nice people! I’ve dealt with some Dealerships that just want you in and out but this one was most definitely different and I’m very appreciative! Special.

I just wanna thank the whole entire Drivetime team. My finance manager Jason, Rashad and the new guy who assisted with my test drive. Everyone was very pleasant. Professional. I never had an easy in and out experience. I explained to them I just become a widow and I wanted the most reliable but inexpensive vehicle. All my needs were heard and met. I was greeted from the time I walked in and I highly recommend this dealer to anyone who needs a car especially the Owings Mills location. The finance manager even finished my sale with a green ribbon. I would absolutely shop with them again.

Purchased a vehicle on 3/27 at 8 PM. By 1 PM on 3/28 the car stopped working. The general manager would like to call me to discuss this. I would be more than happy to talk to you. Drive Time was completely unhelpful to resolve the problem, not only that they not care. They didn’t even call ones to check up and see if there was anything that they could do to help. I had to get my own tow truck to move the vehicle to a safe location.

Good effortless services. Alvaro and TJ were inviting and made the process easy. Chris answered my inquiry call and I have to say brushing up on his customer service and telephone manners would for him and Drivetime well. Customers may have been lost because of his brashness. The car is make a loud noise sort of banging knocking noise when the heating system is turned on. I plan to take the car in for a look on 4/1. Over all good experience and I have recommended others to this store. Thanks!

Drive time on north west freeway was a horrible experience. Time was set up to test drive. The salesman was gone for the day. One man was trying to help me and another customer passed off to a nice lady and when I got the welcome my note had increase by 20$ more thing on my contract that I said I didn’t want from a 6p.m. appointment to 7:45 or closer to 8:00 p.m. This was a nightmare for me and my daughter so I still had a 2&1/2 hour drive home so I left there at 11:00 to 11:15 p.m. Never deal with them again.
