Worst customer service. This place is a scam and will sell you a vehicle that stops running within a year, but overcharge you for it. I’ve been wanting to post this for a while, but today sealed the deal with their lack of help and Blue’s sarcastic comment after advising I would not be putting any more effort toward something that I had been working on for months because I am in labor... Go ANYWHERE but here. Do not get scammed!!!

The worst when it comes to communication, every other 6 months they have a new policy. Service department is the worse, I had to find an outside machine and I’m still under warranty. Sad. Overall I love my car but I wish I had got it somewhere else. 2/10 I’ll recommend.

My advice to anyone looking for a decent car stay away from J D Byrider. I bought a 2012 KIA Soul off of them, it was the biggest mistake I ever made of going there for a car. The staff is not courteous there, they are rude & ignorant. My car failed 2 inspections the 2yrs I had the car, with a $350 per month payment. It had 3 recalls, 21 visits back & forth to be serviced for many problems. They do not give you a loaner car if it needs to be serviced. I was 1 payment late due to the death of my 43yr old son. They are heartless & rude, & repoed that junk KIA Soul, lousy gas mileage, 12 miles to the gallon. Kias are junk, stay away from J D Byrider. They have a line of junk cars they dump off on customers.
I did not even get a letter regarding the Kia being late on 1 1/2 payments late. As I said, my son died, I had to pay the funeral costs. Byrider is the worse place anyone can go to buy a car!!!! They are hateful & mean, I never dealt with such a rotten car dealership in my life. Trust me, do not buy your car there, you will regret it greatly!!!

Worst scamming company on the planet! These scammers basically force you into signing a promise to pay retail installment contract which is total fraud and they are so disrespectful and nasty to consumers! They violate consumer laws and violate the fair credit reporting act as they report false information! They lie and basically laugh in your face and state that you signed the paperwork so good luck with your complaints (which I have them on recording saying this)! They never enclosed the information that is required under the Truth in Lending Act.
Every charge that is on the so called retail contract is multiple thousands of dollars more than I agreed to and the price of the vehicle that is only valued by KBB of $2350. I was charged over $26000 for a vehicle that is a 2011 Ford Edge with over 121000 miles and I traded in a vehicle that I was offered $450 in beginning. After what was owed was handled I was charged the $450 supposed to be credit. But they added into the contract as another finance charge!!! This company needs to be shut down and sued for every dollar they have made plus billions extra and they need to be out in prison for the rest of their lives and never able to open or do any business in the USA! And I will not stop until this happens!!!! Stay away from these con artist.

I have been with this car dealership for two years and wish I had done better research before getting a used car from them. I’ve learned that people on hard times usually uses this company due to their high approval rate. Afterwards, purchaser remorse is very common for the customers who are mostly living paycheck to paycheck. Vehicles are high priced and usually not worth the value of purchase. Customer has to deal with condescending account managers whom are rude. Who thinks auto pay solve that customer issue instead of having a more professional demeanor when dealing with emotional customers. Who are sometimes usually using their last or borrowing funds just to make payments.
They consistently reminds you they offer no grace period. High unreasonable payments terms and very poor customer service with no grace or consideration to the customer make it problematic ordeal. If I can return the car voluntarily without it being considered a repo I would. According to most reviews I’ve read good and bad. Most who used this service would return vehicles if could. I actually know one person who did say they had to make a fuss in order to.

This is the absolute worst experience I have ever had in my entire life... We bought a vehicle that we were told was a good running vehicle... Oh boy were we lied to. A week later the check engine light comes on and the car is acting funny. So we take it to the shop and have it looked at. They say they fixed it then we get the vehicle back the next day. That same day the check engine light comes on again... We take it back to them they keep it over the weekend and say they fixed it.
We get the car back and that same day the check engine light comes on again and it's having the exact same issues... By this time we are frustrated because we have drove the car a total of 4 days and we are still making payments on it but we are not allowed to trade it in for a different vehicle.. I'm not sure how this is even legal. I have spoke to an attorney and this is the worst customer service I have ever seen in my entire life. Do not go to JD Byrider. The 1.8 Star review should be a negative 1.8 stars. I will tell all of my friends to go on here and leave a one-star review because they need to be shut down.

Pinnellas Park is Worst and dirtiest service ever. Our car came back, not once, but twice, a filthy and greasy mess, with all our belongings toss about the car. Also, the second time it came back rat infested, and it did not go there that way and in fast never had a rat, let alone bug issue in its life. In fact, the car was immensely cleaned before it was dropped back off because of the recent way it was returned to us weeks prior. I would given zero stars but you had to pick at least one.

I apologize in advance for the long text. This is the second minivan I am buying with your company. 1st one has been paid off. Just bought another a month and a half ago. I had the van for 3 weeks when it had an issue. I normally fix things myself as I am certified to do so but it's under warranty so I called the Clarksburg byrider where I bought it. Never had any issues with you guys. I have even sent down 4 or 5 people who bought vehicles from you. I take it to a local garage as they told me to.
A week later I get a call from the garage asking me (what do I want to do with this van). I told them the issue and they said "OK we will look at it." 2 weeks go by... I call for an update... They say and I quote, "The new engine is on the way." I said, "Does it need one?" She said, "That's what you wanted..." I said, "I didn't tell you what vehicle is mine yet." So I then told her and they said, "OK we will look at it." Another week goes by. I call and they said, "I think it need a transmission, we will look at it today..."
Another week's goes by and I have called the Clarksburg customer service and spoke to a lady there who was helpful and said, "I'll call and see." She calls me back the next day and told me. They are going to look at it today. A few more days go by. I call Clarksburg again. She said, "I just spoke to them..." They are pulling it in the garage today and will let me know. Keep in mind I live literally 30 seconds away and drive past the garage every day and the van has yet to even move since I parked it the day I dropped it off a month ago.
Weeds still in front of the tires so I know they didn't move it. Well last week Clarksburg calls me and tells me it needs a new transmission and she ordered it and it will be in Wed the 25. And they will work on it then. I have been without my vehicle for a month and it took 4 weeks to get a diagnosis. Which I don't know how they did as it still sits in the same spot and we have GPS so I know it didn't move. I was told a few more weeks to fix it, I still make my payments of course and I'm 1100 dollars in rental fees because my wife needs to get around. And I was told I still have to pay a 50 deductible.
I don't care about 50 dollars but it's the principal. I know I won't get a response from anyone but wanted you to know I will never buy from JD Byrider again. And will advise everyone how I was treated. All I wanted was a phone call or to be treated like a customer. And all I received was a month and a half without my vehicle and I assume another month still before I get it back. If I don't have it back by next week or any contract from anyone then you can keep the van.

This was one of the worst borrowing experiences of my life. I literally paid 10000 dollars for a 2000 dollar car. And when I got down under 2000 owing on it they repossesed it and sold it for 1400. Charged me a bunch of stuff and said I owed 1300 and sued me.

Earlier this year I had a heart attack and was in the hospital and couldn't work. My car was gone because they didn't know why I couldn't pay. Long story short when I was able to talk to Ms. Christy, she helped me stay in my car and worked with me until I got all caught up. I'm still driving my car and almost finished with my contract because of the customer service I was given. I must say I was shocked that they cared as much as they do. I feel I have a good relationship with them and would send new customers as a recommendation. Thanks again Christy

Do not even think about buying from them. Yes they are cheap but keep in mind they are cheap. I purchased a vehicle from them. A year later my engine went out. They told me it will cost me 6,000 to get a new they put me on a payment plan which was great but eight months later I need another engine, same problem with the first engine. How does the same problem happen in less than a year with a new engine. It doesn’t they didn’t give me a new engine it was used and they said it was new. That is called false sells.

They are snakes! They sold me a car with a crazy interest rate, and the last 3 years I've had the vehicle I've done nothing but paid them and paid for maintenance. 3 engines in 3 years is crazy.

I can go on and on but we all need our money back!!!! I've given $1000's of dollars for a vehicle that costs more to fix than it's worth. The blue book value is $1800 and I still owe $13000... the work needed is over $8000 but they want money out threaten to take it and me my credit up.

My son who is deaf purchased a car from this place before, and didn't have any real issues other than the car was overpriced. He returned again to buy his second car unfortunately it was wrecked and had to be totaled. So he goes again at the waiting two weeks to get another car, and we go and pick out a car for him, actually they have picked the car out for him which I didn't like from the beginning. Anyway, they know my son is deaf and they thought I was his certified interpreter.
I told them that my son either needed closed caption or an interpreter. They had neither, and I mentioned that maybe they need to start doing that because of ADA my son should have had his rights where he was able to understand and interpret the material that was presented to him rather than having me an uncertified interpreter relay the information to him. One of the employees got upset with me because we have been sitting there for 4 hours while their computer was down and also had to wait while they printed 20 pages of paperwork they made a mistake and wanted us to wait 10 more minutes to to correct the paperwork. At this point, my son and I were both tired and kind of disgusted because he wasn't going to be able to get what he needed read to him correctly and I responded to the salesperson that I was not a certified interpreter and if I interpreted something wrong it was going to be on them.
This employee rudely asked me, "Aren't you his mom, can't you interpret for him?" And I replied no because I wanted him to have everything he needed to know. The young lady who was president at the closing proceeded to look at my son, speak directly to him, trying to read a 30-minute closing documents that my son could not even hear or understand and I could not interpret.
They really got belligerent then I told that, "We would like our down payment back" and that we would go to another dealer who had better service and ware very professional, a price salesperson had also asked my son to put down false information about what he pays for rent. Anyway, to make a long story short we got our money back, the man continued to try to talk to my son, I told him to forget it, we're done, went to another dealership, got son got a car, they made arrangements so everything could be closed captioned and he could understand for himself and sign his own papers I appreciate it that. Discrimination comes in all forms, you cannot discriminate against deaf people either.

This auto dealership is a great dealership to go to when you're hard to finance. Although I did not leave with a car today, they're financing manager, Tonya, was more than helpful. She walked me through the process but gave me more sound advice about my financials than anyone could have.

She saw me as more than a potential sale for her company, she truly saw me as a human being. That means a lot to consumers when you're in a pinch.

I purchased a vehicle almost 3 and 1/2 years ago and it has been a great car- 2012 Ford Fusion. Process was easy and it's great that they include the sales tax. Negatives-- I recently inquired about trading in the car for a newer one- miles were creeping up, wanted something different. Was told that I was upside down in the car-- which everyone knows that you pay over the value of car at purchase and that it would require a substantial down payment based on my credit-yet they claim credit isn't an issue(?). I have made every payment on time and always maintain full coverage insurance. So unless you plan to keep the vehicle until it's paid off it might be wiser to shop around.

I'm writing this hopeful to help others from this company, do not buy from this company, my fiancé got a suv from them, the car turns off when in traffic or the car is stopped at a traffic light, the car suppders all the time and its on engine light is on, he has taken the car back more than 5 times to service to fix, the same day the car has done the same when taken from service department or even two days later, he called CNAC and never got a answer or a resolution, they hung up the phone in his face, I feel like these problems should be addressed above any regular court and laws should be changed so companies such as this should be accountable for themselves, I will seek that help if I have to and see who I can call to get him help.
He told them why he needed the car due to his son having major surgery (liver transplant) and he also himself is disabled as well so that would say, "Hey I as a customer don't need problems. I need a safe reliable car" and the warranty isn't even fair due to all the problems these cars have, no company can give a accuse that this is a machine with parts and it has parts and the cars are machine due to wear and tear, these cars aren't even safe to be on the road for not just them but others who share the the road with them as well, when the cars are turning off in traffic this is dangerous beyond levels, his life and children ride in the car with him as well (I have too), what should matter is that your customer is safe and their family.
I myself have worked for car companies that sold cars and as a worker of the automotive world, is that we keep workers and families safe, this isn't what this company is about, how do you sleep at night knowing your company is making lives harder putting people in unsafe conditions on the road and need help due to whatever circumstances they may had before the car purchase regardless if it was a repo or a just help needing a car you've took advantage of too many people and I feel like the disabled which is against the law as well, those who need help should get that help and a good decent car as well as a safe vehicles for everyone, especially those who are disabled on a fixed income knowing women have children riding with them or someone have family or friends in the car with them, you have not only put our lives at risk but the public lives at risk too.
These practices they have are beyond unreal, unfair and unsafe due to the conditions of these car have, your company promised to give great service and it's been the total opposite of what the promises and practice this company has shown, I don't have to lie about what I witness nor any reason to lie cause the money isn't coming from me so I wouldn't write this long complaint for nothing. Do not I mean do not buy a car from them. You will be sorry and to see someone go through this is so disgusting to me. I feel sorry for the people who trusted this company with their life to only give excuses to why they aren't morally concerned of the safety of their customer and the customer family or the public, at this point it's no excuse that this company can give other than I feel should be legally accountable for every individual that have gotten a car from Byrider.
If you know your cars have issues due to being old un fixable, a risk and not only will make it hard to get fix and only option will be give the car back then all the company will due is set the car back on the lot to give the problem to the next customer, I will seek whatever legal company to help not only families but the public (you) byryder how you put so many at risk with selling unsafe vehicles. If I have to go as far as writing those in the White House I will. No threat to anyone, you promised people good service, safe cars. None of your promises have been satisfactory or meet.

Within the first two months the car had to be fixed & I had to come out of pocket. Brakes & rotors both worn out twice! In the past week I had to bring my car in because the engine light came on. They so called fixed it just for hours later for it to shut off again. I explained to them I was going to make a payment & when I went to go pick up my car today, they refused to give it to me for late payment. THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!

I am a former customer of JD Byrider and I was a satisfied customer and I still have the vehicle. My experience about 4 years ago was great. However when my son was looking to purchase a car he wanted to go JD Byrider since he knew the great experience I had. On April 20, 2024 we went to purchase a vehicle. My son had the deposit and the stable income. After speaking to the sales agent we had to just wait for financial department for the budget. Well we spoke to CORY!!!! He was the worst person. He interrogated my son, and he wanted to know he wanted to know why he was looking for a car. He also asked why he could not just keep using my vehicle. Then he questioned him about changing jobs and stated he needed to know about the gap in employment.
My son worked at the Waffle House for about 10 years and did not have a gap. He started a new job for better pay and something different. He just kept saying you have a gap and want his last pay information from this past February. He then repeatedly kept asking about my 2 vehicles and we explained that I was not trading them in. Again he had the deposit and the income. He continued to ask about my vehicle and I had to get upset and tell him that we are not trading in my vehicles. He then came back and said that my son needed 1500 and a trade. Now make this make sense.
This was a horrible experience and BUYER BEWARE OF Buyer beware of Cory as you will not be talked to with respect but you will be interrogated.

DO NOT GET THE WARRANTY. This dealership doesn't honor it. I got my vehicle from Jay P at the Dartmouth location. Everything he said was a lie. every time I tried to call him in my 30 day grace period, He wasn't around to answer. Whenever I went into the dealership, he wasn't around.

Purchased a car from J.D. Byrider of Kokomo, Indiana. If there was a way to give no stars, I would. We have purchased many cars in our lifetime, and this was by far the worst experience ever. We never missed a payment and paid off the car early. First, a week after we purchased the car, the driver seat belt stopped releasing. My Wife was stuck in the vehicle several times. They said this was not covered under the warranty! Then, after two months, the AC stopped working, and they said this was not covered under the warranty.
Then, a couple days later, the backup camera stopped working, and they said this was not covered under the warranty. A couple days later, one of the tire pressure sensors stopped working, and they said this was not covered under the warranty. Three months in, the fuel pump went out... Guess what they said? Yup, it wasn't covered under the warranty. When I complained, they said I should have purchased the optional extra warranty. I stopped calling them. Then, fast forward to my early pay off. They said they were going to mail the title and extra key to us. We waited a month, but never received it. So we called them back, and they told us they had just mailed it and to give it a few more days. We waited another month, and it never came. I called them back, and they said it was just mailed. I told them that's the same thing they said last time. They said there was some confusion and to wait a few more days.
I offered to just come and pick it up, and they said it had already been mailed. So we waited ANOTHER MONTH, and still no title or extra key. We called one more time, and they said it was just mailed the prior Thursday!!! We waited another couple weeks, and it never came. So we got online and ordered a new title through the BMV Website. But they had the mailing address as JD Byrider of Kokomo and would not let us change it because the lien was still on the title. So we paid the $15 and it got mailed to JD Byrider of Kokomo. We waited a month, and then called JD Byrider in Kokomo, and they said they already mailed it.It still NEVER CAME! So we drove over to JD Byrider of Kokomo and walked in, and they handed us the title before I even announced who I was.
The title was the replacement title we had ordered. And they signed off the lien and dated it a few weeks prior, so they had the title right after I ordered it. They still would not give us the extra key! With terrible interest rates they charge, and the terrible, and borderline fraudulent, service and lack of warranty, I cannot believe this company is still in business! Don't buy from them, ever! You will regret it.

I bought my car from JD Byrider 2021. I moved away 4 hours from the original Byrider for work, a week after I got the car. That summer, having the car for a couple of months, the engine light turns on and eventually no longer shifts gears and long story short, it needs a new transmission. Byrider from previous location, agreed to uphold the warranty seeing that I could not go to the original location. The new Byrider says it will be a month before they will look at it and I'm not prioritized because I didn't get the car from them. 1 month later of new Byrider finally able to look at the transmission- they say it will be another month to replace it. So I paid $2000 for the car to be towed to original Byrider. They fixed it in 2 weeks.
3 months later after this, the alternator goes out. Mind you, that's not under warranty. I get that fixed at a local shop and pay $3000. The engine light goes on again. New Byrider told me it was something to do with the computer, however when I got multiple insights from other shops, it turned out to needing a new starter. So I only paid $500, versus what Byrider quoted me at $1,500. They refused to replace the starter, and refused to physically look at the car and only the codes. Now we are at December 2023, and my car doesn't shift gear again. It has a new transmission and yet, it's having the exact same problem previously. And the warranty on it is now expired, as of 3 months.
Take it to Byrider, they tell me it needs to replaced (again). Original Byrider agrees to pay for half of the estimated cost of the replacement and I pay the other half. The order for a new transmission and they said it would be 3 days for it to arrive and 1 full day to install. 2 weeks after waiting for that delivery, of which I physically went to this Byrider to get updates, there were excuses every time of why it hasn't come in. Now, my car has been with them for 35 days. They told me it would be fixed by Jan. 29, 2024. I call them, and they tell me they never ordered the transmission and towed my car to a specialist transmission shop to rebuild the current one. Which will be 2 weeks to do. No one had asked me if they could do that. No one got my consent for the car to go somewhere else. And no one gave me a new estimate of what this would be, because now they're adding on towing (they sent it 20 miles away) for both ways.
After physically going to the Byrider office and asking them why they towed my car away without asking me first, they replied, "We were being pro-active in fixing your car. But we can tow it back and be done with this conversation." They said they changed their minds on ordering the parts and did not think they needed consent for the changes. And here we are, 35 days without my car. Original Byrider had no idea this was happening because no communication ever happened and not able to help now that the plans have changed, so did the estimation, so therefore I would be paying a lot more than originally agreed to. All of them are unhelpful, lie every step of the way and then tell me, "I'm not dealing with you with this issue."

Had to miss work because they don't offer loaner vehicles, and I couldn't afford to do so on my own. They had my car for nearly a month and upon returning it to me the same issues still existed, in fact it was returned with more issues than before.

Please trust me when I say DO NOT PURCHASE VEHICLE from this scam of a place. It will be the worst financial decision you have ever made in your life. No matter how desperate you are… DON’T DO IT!! Number one, after you have paid off your loan with interest, you will end up paying triple what the car was worth. I found the history of the car I bought… It was about 10k less than what they sold it to me for and about 18k less than what I will have paid for it when it is all said and done.
Yes, they are super nice, and helpful and it makes you feel like no way they will screw you, but do not trust them. That is their job - to sale crappy, half-broke down vehicles to desperate people with unsatisfactory credit. They prey on people who need a vehicle and will do anything to have transportation. I have only had mine since July, and I have a page front and back written of what all is wrong with mine. I had it 3 days and the AC went out… in July. They told me I couldn’t bring it for 3 weeks. During that time, it shut down while driving down the road multiple times, would still run even after being turned off, the hood was practically sealed shut where we had to use a crowbar to open it, there was NOT ONE DROP of fluid in it: no transmission fluid, no brake fluid, no coolant, NO OIL…. NONE. Then the key wouldn’t turn back to turn the car off, I had to use a screwdriver.
Now the car won’t start at all. I have barely had this ** for 2 months. Oh, and I called to reschedule my appointment a week ahead of time and he told me it would be another month and a half, or I could just bring it and drop it off, but he wouldn’t know when he would get to it. Could be a day, a week, a month. At the time I couldn’t be without a vehicle, so I was waiting. Now I don’t even have a way to get it there. Which I am sure all they will do is screw with it more so it will have to be put in the shop over and over. This is what they are good at. They should not be able to be in business. This is the most crooked business practice I have ever seen. I can’t believe they are able to get away with doing hard working people this way.

There's a $70 tow reimbursement but by the time I got it I couldn't cash the check. It was only good for 90 days and the shop manager had left it on his desk. I didn't even receive it til it was too late. But the worst of it, on 3/14/22 I traded the car in. The dealer was given a 10 day payoff amount of $11966.73 and sent a check for that amount.
On 3/18/22 I made my regular payment of $202.94. On 4/12/22 I received a letter stating my account is officially closed but no overpayment check. I just got off the phone with CNAC and they informed me that they just issued a check for a $33.19 overpayment, not $202.94. I tried to plead and argue my case but to no avail. Bottom line, I'll walk everywhere I go before I ever deal with Byrider's ineptitude or CNAC's greed, corruption, callousness and lies ever again and I STRONGLY recommend you do the same.

I was told by the service department I needed a new engine ASAP. However, not only have I been waiting over 2 weeks for the new engine to arrive at the shop- I was informed that the engine is not new but a rebuilt engine, AND that once the engine arrive that there are 6-7 cars ahead of mine. I was told that there were 6-7 cars ahead of mine over two weeks ago when I took the car to get checked out by the service department.
My engine is ready to blow any day and the service department acts like they do not care, nor does it seem like they take their customer service seriously. How is it that they still have the same amount of cars left to service before mine when it's been over 2 weeks ago? Also, they offer rental reimbursement up to $27/day. You can't rent a car for anything less than $35-$40/day, and if I were to rent a car AND have to wait for the cars that are ahead of mine, I'll be out hundreds or thousand of dollars. I am highly disappointed in myself for believing that JD Byrider was a reliable company to buy a car from.

Long story short Doug quit, nobody knew anything about my car and I just got it back today 4/6/2021 and paid over $1300 for a rental car on top of still making my car payment. I’m waiting to see if they are going to give me any reimbursement. This whole experience was TERRIBLE!!

Since becoming a cs with this company...I have had nothing but grief. I have had to have my vehicle towed 2x, since January at which this company does not reimburse. So out of pocket cost to me of 500.00 plus cost of repairs, bc the warranty you get covers absolutely NOTHING! Oh and don't fall on hard times, and need an extension...They do not do those according to CNAC rep, even though I had it done 1 before...But ok. If you want a lemon car, ** customer service and to be with a company who gives 2 cents about their vehicles or their customers. This is def. the place for you. Nothing negative just yet to say about the technicians who worked on the same issue twice...I had a gut feeling that this purchase decision was going to be a mistake...Turns out it has become my worst nightmare. I knew before signing up about the piss poor rep this company had but I was assured things were different. Lies!!!!

I purchased a car 3 months ago a 2012 Nissan Versa. I have called and explained that the car needs to go in again. The check engine light is on and it sounds like it’s literally going to fall apart as I am driving it. I brought it to them for them to fix within the first month as you can see it wasn’t fixed. That is my only means to get go and from work and I’ve communicated this to them multiple times. I get the same answer bring it in and drop it off. So in the meantime while they are fixing it I just don’t go to work? I can’t afford a car payment and to pay for a rental or Uber too. These people don’t care but sure care when my payment is due. I told the guy in service. He said, "What do you expect? It’s 12 years old?!" I said I purchased it 3 months ago. I would expect it to run what the?!

I purchased my vehicle from J.D. Byrider at twice the amount the car was worth! I paid on my vehicle and stayed green in my loan the interest regardless of how far Ahead. I was paid usually up to a month ahead. My loan balance rarely dropped. Possibly due to the 21 percent interest and then to add insult to injury when someone totaled my parked vehicle instead of JD byrider closing out my loan because I had paid it down to 7,845.50 on a car that was only legally worth 2,200 I was told I would either take an insurance rollover into another one of their vehicles or be out of a car and still owe them the difference. When the vehicle was grossly overpriced at the date of purchase!
And to want to roll the debt over and tack it onto another overpriced outdated vehicle is beyond predatory is robbery! Oh No. They lie and tell you they are giving you gap insurance when actually they don’t offer gap insurance. They are a blood bank and should be put out of business and any review telling you differently is lying and being paid!

So I got Preapproved online and then a sales person called and spoke to me over the phone and asked for additional information proof of residence proof of income ID etc. Then put all the information in and said they will call me back to let me know if I’m approved. An hour later I got the call stating that I was approved and come in the following day with a $500 down payment.
Upon arrival I was asked to fill out the additional paperwork and write down 12 references which I thought was ridiculous.. My proof of income was bank statements and not a job with a check stub. I had already emailed the proof of income previous to arriving so now it changed and it was no longer accepted. Mind you I make over four grand a month! Nobody was kind rich. The guy we dealt with was very rude and unfriendly. Nobody in the facility was wearing masks which was very concerning and uncomfortable! Horrible vibes. 2 days of wasted time.

Terrible location to do business with. Program Consultant Cathy M. can be misleading with her charm and wit. She acts if she is there is to help, while she only wants your info to tease you about an approval. She makes false promises, claiming she can get you in a car same day. These are all lies. I had to reach out to her - waiting sometimes an hour for a response - remind her of my needs and interests in my car search, in thought I would be given courtesy service. The financial documents she created were not even based on what we discussed, such as the down payment was actually higher. She explained this was necessary and I would be approved by their financial company after an interview. Her attitude was often impatient and she often felt pressured, it seemed, to get a sale.
After much disappointment and frustration, I reached out to the location manager named Betty. She instructed she would resolve some document issues and get me approved. This too was a lie. She denied me. She made up an excuse about my not having enough time on a job. Who has a enough time a job these days during the pandemic? We are all lucky to have gotten a job.

Finally yesterday hopefully it was fixed, even though it cost me 69.91, what I am saying is that if it was fixed correctly the first time I shouldn't of have any more problems with it. Also the battery was being drained of juice, I had to jump started a few times yesterday. They disconnected the GPS to see if that would stop the battery from losing power.
