On - - i went to DriveTime to purchase a vehicle. I met with the customer service rep and manager who was very friendly and welcoming. I sought interest on a - - Journey and test drive the vehicle and everything was smooth. I requested for a car fax and the representative stated that the vehicle was in perfect condition and had no ; repossessions, accidents, and rebuilds. The only thing was the vehicle having a high mileage. The manager read the contract and i signed off on it, made the agreement. Plus i was missing a hard key replacement of my key in which they promised to provide through a locksmith and never followed through. During the - week i began having issues starting the vehicle and decided to take the vehicle to the dealer. The manager and representatives advised me through minor inspections that there was n't any issues and if it was an ongoing issue to contact -. So i decided to contact


the issues concerning the vehicle and was told that was the solution to the problem. We shook hands and was told to come back if there 's arising issues. A week later after coming from - the same issue occurred and i notified - - - about the issue. They advised me to respond back to the shop to conduct further inspections, in which again they could n't find anything. So i was told to come back if the issue reoccurs, in which the day after it happened again. The manager even conducted and full inspections in which turns to find out that my shift handle was damaged, in what appeared to be a repossession damage. The shift handle was broken and glued back together in which caused shifting damage. I was told to schedule a day to have this issue addressed, but my transmission blew out in result of the shifting issue. I had to contact a tow truck through my insurance company to have it towed to my house, later on had to pay another tow truck to get my vehicle towed to a repair facility. The mechanic advised that i had to pay a deductible for the transmission replacement through warranty. Its only been 3 months since Ive had this vehicle for me to have transmission and shifting issues. I felt I 've been cheated out of my money and was a sold a vehicle that was n't worth what i am paying. I would never recommend someone to purchase a vehicle through DriveTime, horrible pricing and unfair quality of service. Note : Theyre very eager to pressure to purchase a vehicle without giving full information.
