Temple DriveTime

Had it towed to a shop, they replaced the radiator. The car still did not run as it should and it was recommended that I take it to a Jeep dealership. It turns out that the fuel pump was also bad. After replacing the fuel pump, an intermittent short was discovered and the power module has to be replaced as well. So already THREE major components of the vehicle have failed and I didn't even have it for a week. I have now driven the car for less days than it has been in the shop. I can only imagine what else is in store for me. Just signed a $20,000 note and yet for the past 8 days and counting, I have been without my vehicle. I am about to make the first payment on a car that I can't even drive. Drivetime offers a 5 day return guarantee before your locked into the loan. That's cool, that you get the opportunity to change your mind. Unfortunately for me, all the problems started happening on the morning of day 6. How convenient. If this is how Drivetime does business then perhaps they should invest in a lemonade stand. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. They may be friendly to your face, and it may be a pleasant experience. But behind the scenes, they are screwing you sideways with a square object. More

Horrible experience Biggest bunch of liers ever. There just as sweet as they can be to try to get you in a car. Lots of high milage cars. They lie to get you in. You will Biggest bunch of liers ever. There just as sweet as they can be to try to get you in a car. Lots of high milage cars. They lie to get you in. You will waste a lot of time going back n forth. They tell you what to bring in and once u get there they need more stuff. Smdh. Managers are unprofessional. They tell you one down payment then when you get there ask for more money. Don't buy a car from these con artists. You is have been warned More

Worst Mistake of My Life For starters, the service was friendly and they got me into a car quick. On the down fall, they put me into a horrible piece of crap car. Although, at For starters, the service was friendly and they got me into a car quick. On the down fall, they put me into a horrible piece of crap car. Although, at first the car seemed great; clean inside, nice sound system, no major body damage... After having the car for a few months, there was almost a clunking noise in the front end that became more prevalent. So as a concerned young driver, I got ahold of the warranty company and took the car to be inspected to see what could be wrong with it, thinking it would be something small and easy to fix. After waiting an hour to have a diagnostic done, the mechanic comes back to me with 2 PAGES full of things that need to be repaired. Including a broken control arm ($375) and a cracked temperature gasket ($175) along with many many other things. Thankful I am paying extra on my car to have a warranty, I wasn't too worried because I figured it would all be covered. BUT NOT ONE SINGLE THING IS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY! A total of about $800 worth of work and parts need to be fixed. Now, not only are all of those things wrong with it, my car is now overheating to the point my coolant is rising upwards of about 220 degrees most times when driving it! Still, not a single thing is covered! The Kelly Blue Book value for the car I purchased is less than $5,000 in perfect condition. The total price I am financed for this horrible car? About $20,000 for a car that should not have cost more than $5,000!!! They will not take the car back, or do anything about major problems that are wrong with it! All I was told is they could postpone my payments, so I could use the money I would to make payments to get the car fixed. I am highly unsatisfied. DriveTime is NOT a place I would recommend ANYONE to go! Because I still owe about $14,000 on the car, I can't trade it in anywhere. I am literally stuck driving a car that basically could blow up at any second, because they refuse to do anything about it. I have kept up on oil changes and recently had the engine flushed, and all my fluids are always full. The dealership had to have know prior to selling me the car that there was more wrong with it. Before I even signed any papers, I had to point out there was a bad oil leak that was smoking and one of the tires was almost completely flat when they had me test drive the car. I have contacted a lawyer about all the problems and how unwilling the company is to help or do anything about the absolutely horrible vehicle they have sold me and am contemplating a lawsuit. As a full time college student, I went to them looking for a reliable car to get me through a couple years of college and help build my credit to set myself up for something better along the road. But here I am, totally stuck, with a car that I have already dished out hundreds of dollars into only to find it needs more and more repairs done to it, for things that must have been wrong from the time I purchased it. I had heard from a few friends to not purchase with DriveTime, but went ahead anyways because the car seemed nice and service was overly friendly. Only to realize the car was crap and the service was extra nice to coax you into signing the papers right away. They were extremely pushy, more so than any other dealership I have ever seen, and very bothersome before purchasing the car to find out when I was coming back. This place should not be in business and or should have better mechanics checking out cars before the customer leaves the lot. Let alone how EXTREMELY overpriced their cars are. Really, I mean $20,000 for a car worth less than $5,000. And they wont even take the piece of xxxx back! More

Overall , DriveTime in Temple was a pretty good place. If you are looking for a used car for a fair price. I have to admit, the high APR rate was a big deal b , DriveTime in Temple was a pretty good place. If you are looking for a used car for a fair price. I have to admit, the high APR rate was a big deal breaker for me. Be careful and know how much the car is actually worth before signing on the dotted line! We decided to return our car and look else where. The people working there, for the most part, are very friendly. There are a few things you need to know that are "included" when you start to finance with them and that adds up big time at the end..which is honestly a crappy deal. You will basically end up paying on a used car the equivalence to a brand new car at the end of all your payments. Please be aware of everything you sign. Ask questions about everything. And go with your gut feeling.. More

He took the time to go over everything with me and truly helped in my final decision. It really seemed like they want to get everyone in a car and are willing to work to make that happen. If/when I'm in the market for a new vehicle I will definitely come here first! More

Awesomeness! We definitely needed a new car and the car we received was actually something we thought we grew out of. It's a dream car if you will. The car had ext We definitely needed a new car and the car we received was actually something we thought we grew out of. It's a dream car if you will. The car had extremely low mileage and only had one owner. The asking price was amazing and I felt it was a great way to build your credit for future endeavors. My husband and I were very pleased with the service and definitely love the car we have. I would definitely recommend them to anyone especially when you are trying to build credit or fix it. They report to the credit bureaus for both owners if you fill out a joint application and I feel like that is so awesome! My husband and I get to build our credit at the same time every month. Whereas, at other car dealerships, they will report for the original signer of the car, but not the co-signer. More
