Finally, I got someone there that valued my business, Wilma thanks for your outstanding work in resolving and making things right for all the inconvenience. Thumbs up!

Original review: May 10, 2022

I bought a car in October 2021. I received a notice to renew my 2 cars. I went online to renew them and the car I purchased at OFF Lease was not eligible to renew online. I contacted my local DMV and found out OFF Lease had not done their job. The car was still showing as pending on EFS. So I contacted OFF Lease, and they acknowledged and sent me a temp tag and told me they would take care of it. A few days ago I contacted them to check the status, and it was not done yet. So they mailed me the SAME temp tag and the State of FL Application for Vehicle Cert Title.

Well, I went to my local DMV and waited for over an hour to be seen. They still can't help me since it's not in their County. This is unacceptable!!! How many times do we have to call OFF Lease to do their job! BUYERS BE AWARE - ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN THEIR COUNTY OR OUT OF STATE. YOU WILL HAVE A CAR YOU CAN'T DRIVE SOON!

Do not buy a car or extended warranty, they will told me it would only be $9/month more. I requested the warranty details and they said l will receive it in the mail. I called several times, text the finance person and no response. It was a month before I was answered and sent me the details. I then found out my original payment was $427 a month and now it is $533 per month. The warranty costs $3,500 and then they snuck in two other warranties that I didn't even know about. I WONDER WHY...NOW I KNOW, THEY ARE CROOKS, BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

    I purchased a vehicle and have had to return it SEVERAL times for repair and fix issues with the vehicle. I have not made the first payment. Yet, I have had to rent cars several times and spending money that should be going towards the payment of the vehicle. The Area Director should be made aware of the dissatisfaction of a new car owner. Miami Lakes Location needs better customer service and check vehicles prior to sale. If the opportunity presents itself I would return the vehicle and go elsewhere. DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLES FROM OFF LEASE!!!!

    If I could give Offlease Orlando 0 stars I would. I bought FOUR cars from them at once at the end of November 2021 so I would think someone there would care to help. Of the four cars purchased 2 of them had issues that Off Lease Orlando has not and apparently will not fix. One of the vehicles Purchased was a 2016 Ford Mustang. The first thing I notice is the USB ports do not work and what makes it worse is 2 days after the purchase the car wouldn’t start due to a dead battery.

    I took the mustang up to off lease and they said “it just needs a new battery and a replacement USB harness.” The battery was replaced and the harness was ordered. You can imagine my surprise when right after my 5 day warranty period the car dies again and this is a brand new battery. I take the car back to off lease and they say they fixed the issue but give me the car back with the check engine light on. THIS LIGHT WAS NEVER ON AND NOW IS AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE CAR!

    Also The Fiat Spider I purchased had a tire pressure light on and After I was told the tire just needed air when I purchased the Spider, I was surprised the tire pressure light didn't turn off after I filled the tires with more air. I was told by off lease that I just need to "drive it for a while" and the light would turn off, which I did. Only after I took the vehicle to Fiat did they show me, with the car lifted, the rim is bent which is why the sensor won't turn off. Do not purchase a car from Off Lease Orlando, work with general manager Mike **, or service manager Monique ** unless you want to be robbed.

    On 10-08-21, my 2017 Maserati spun out of control on a busy expressway and hit a concrete barrier extensive damage to the vehicle only. Several factors involved: it was raining, uneven roadway due to paving and the bald tires on the vehicle that I purchased in March 2021. I drove the vehicle less than 7000 miles and the bulk of that was visiting from Florida to North Carolina. To make a long story short I contacted Off Lease Only and was advised I should have done a safety check. I told them I'm glad no one was hurt have a good day. The Maserati was my 4th purchased vehicle and my last. Thanks Off Lease Only. Thanks Off Lease.

    I bought my Infiniti Q70 here and would highly recommend this dealer. Did my financing with them as well and was very smooth transaction. Stress free environment!! They have a huge inventory to select from and don’t pressure you into buying.

    Original review: Aug. 11, 2021

    We had to wait several hours to sign our papers, we ended up at the dealership the entire day. We bought our vehicle on 3/3/21 and did not receive a copy of the title until 8/11/2021! In Michigan, the vehicle owner is supposed to get the title. Offlease did not fill out the paperwork correctly so my title went to Capital One Bank instead. No one EVER told me I was not getting my title or what happened to it. Capital One is refusing to release my title to me now. I am refinancing today!

    OffleaseOnly had too many fees that were not explained at the beginning, too many fees period. I was charged $500 for title and registration. I was told I would get the difference back. As of today 8/11, I still haven't. OffLeaseOnly indicated that they sent the money to my lender, I am trying to verify this. This is not what they said from the beginning and no one EVER notified me until I called on 8/11. The vehicle was a fair price although it had known problems that OffLeaseOnly mechanics did not know how to fix. They initially were supposed to fix it but after they determined they could not make the repairs, they would not even offer a discount or money to get it fixed. I will never buy out of state again and certainly never from OffLeaseOnly.

    Original review: June 22, 2021

    My family have purchased many vehicles from Offleaseonly. We purchased 3 Mercedes, a Nissan and a BMW. All those experiences were great. None of the cars we purchased had any kind of issues whatsoever besides the normal wear and tear parts that needed replacing. Recently (about a month ago), I purchased a Nissan Armada which I thought was a a great deal for the price but boy was I wrong. It appears to me that this company who prided itself on selling quality vehicles has now taken a turn for the worse. The main reason I purchased the car was to have something my family and I can comfortably travel in. It turns out that this particular vehicle had worn out wiper blades, needed an oil change and while I was on a 1300 mile road trip, found out that the breaks are bad and the shocks are bad. So on top of my vacation expenses, I now have to pay a bill of $800 to get back home. Thanks Offleaseonly, you just lost a loyal customer and his entire family.

    They add very unnecessary fees that should belong to the dealership in preparing the vehicle to be resold. Be careful buying any car here and review what you're signing off on. I left in disagreement with the manager here.
