My experience was a completely horrible…

My experience was a completely horrible show, I ended up going to three different dealership to locate what I wanted. My first choice was located in Temple, Tx after being told they don't transfer car's I asked would gas be given due to me having to travel. I was told YES. This car was sold before my fraud alert was lifted on EXPERIAN, I seen something at the west Houston location, I got there early Saturday morning (03/09/2024) Saleman was SAMMY. After test driving a couple of cars, I wasn't happy. I then went back to DRIVETIME site and found a 2017 Buick Envision out of town, I asked SAMMY to check on it, he then walked off then came back saying someone was currently looking at the car. What he didn't know was I stepped outside to call myself, because I didn't believe him(glad I did). Upon calling I spoke with a manager by the name of Rudy, after telling Rudy what I wanted he placed me on hold to locate the key. After locating the key he then came back to the phone, and said it was there and AVAILABLE. I asked him was anyone currently looking at it, and he stated no. I explained to him I would be coming from HOUSTON, TX to see/buy this particular car. Once SAMMY realized I had called them myself (he was shocked) he stated in order to reserve the car I would need to put the deposit down which was no problem. "I was livid that I was lied too, because that wasn't necessary at all" I then make the 4.5 hour drive to ARLINGTON, TX, to the saleman by the name of FRANCISCO. Who was very dismissive/rude, after asking several question main one being why was my interest rate incorrect. I then showed him the picture I captured on 03/07/2024. FRANCISCO started to get very irritated with my questions, and the fact I was reading what I was signing. FRANCISCO then stated "I didn't have to buy the vehicle", I then told him I was well aware "I didn't have to buy the car". Unacceptable behavior on all levels, after reading everything I then asked about the gas that was promised, FRANCISCO then stated he didn't know about gas, and called RUDY over for RUDY to say they would only be able to do a half a tank. I was referred to DRIVETIME however I won't be doing the same, I've never experienced mistreatment on this level. This is horrible and disheartening to say the least.

Excellent customer service, Roddy was GREAT!

Roddy was very informative and helpful throughout the process. He answered all of my questions and didn’t make me feel pressured to buy. He even helped me call around to find reasonable car insurance. I went in to test drive a car , and ended up finding a different car that I fell in love with! I just had to purchase. He gave me all the details on the vehicle , and made me feel very comfortable. I can definitely say I left the dealership happy with my purchase.

Rip off at it's finest

Purchase a car here and paid it off early in great standing. Company kept sending me offers to buy another car with 0 down. My current car needed a 2400 dollar repair so I decided to take them up on the offer as I didn't have 2400 at the time. Long story shirt I git a 2016 fiat that broke down in less than 90 days. I took it to a mechanic and it was an electrical problem that was deemed unfixable. Gap insurance doesn't cover electrical issues and they want me to pay for the tow 145 bucks? Oh yeah and they offer possible reimbursement for a rental. So I'm expected to pay the car not and for a rental that MIGHT reimburse me for? CRAZY! I TOOK OUT A 2400$ loan to have my car repaired. I don't recommend purchasing a car here at all.

No stress car buying experience

Normally, I would expect a vehicle purchase to be an incredibly stressful situation, but Mike really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied with my experience, he took with some dealers will make into an all day or deal, and he actually made it an enjoyable, short experience.

Hello Karlundra,

I am saddened to hear the vehicle condition presented to you was not satisfactory.

Typically, all of our vehicles are detailed before purchase to meet DriveTimes standards. However, if the vehicle was dirty when presented to you at the time of sale, we would be glad to look into this matter further. Additionally, DriveTime ensures all vehicles have an adequate amount of gas before driving off the sales lot to ensure our customers arrive at their desired destination. If this was not the case, please contact our Customer Relations department so we may address this.

Again, I am sorry to hear that you are disheartened by DriveTime due to your recent experience. Should you wish to discuss your review further, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148 and a representative will be glad to assist.

Respectfully,

DriveTime Customer Relations
