DriveTime Consumer Loan Complaint

Vehicle lease Shopping for a loan or lease

DriveTime Consumer loan department,

Vehicle lease Shopping for a loan or lease Florida

On - - -, I went to drivetime.com and applied for financing, which they said I was approved for. When I went in the dealership, the manager told me that I was n't qualified for what the website said I was and if I wanted that vehicle I would have to put almost - down. So they had me try their no hassle lease program. I put down close to - for this program and they gave me a - ford fusion. At first glance the car was great, after test driving it you car hear something was wrong with the tires. When I brought it to the salesman attention he said the previous owner drove it hard. I asked for a car fax and he printed some report that showed the car had been in a - accident but he insured that all repairs and inspection had been done. I took possession of the car with what I thought was a safe vehicle. Almost two weeks later the car stopped running. I had to have the car towed because the warranty did n't cover it. Got to the mechanics and they had to keep the car for 5 days, they said the car needed new wheel barrings, tire rods and an alternator. After that was fixed the car bike down again and had o slow drive it to an approved mechanic that held it for three days and it was the ac unit. Because this was after 30 days they tried to make me pay for this. All these problems should have been found in their inspection of the car before selling it. I had to end up returning the car and putting - down on another vehicle at another dealership.
