I bought a $10,000 Subaru wrx had it 2 weeks there were issues prior to buy that were not listed to me or told to me, yet drive now knew because of the info joe the mechanic spoke and he agreed there was a major knocking sound and problem I did say that to put the turbo on the due bill as well but he refused, so joe did limited work on the car per due bill, and when I picked my car up from being there for 4 days I might add the engine blew out on the way home I had to have it towed home!

Mind you Ive her the car ONLY 2 weeks ten grand !!! The car was not merchantable in any way.

I owed 2 payments of $650 I paid one, I am asking for the last payment to be waived and hand me the pink slip so we dont have to take this to court. Thank you

Don't buy/ finance through them

Terrible customer service from Rudy, whom is rude in his tone of voice, verbally sarcastic. I asked to extend my payment 4 days due to my account being locked and unable to use the card to make payment. The Walmart money card locked it. Therefore, my money in account is also locked unable to complete my car payment. Rudy shut it off right away. This was out of my control due to the nature of my card being stolen.

In a few words Scam,Scam,Scam!

I got an offer for a car loan from DriveToday, filled out everything online gave them my personal info and waited to hear from the dealer like I was told. Heard nothing.

I tried calling their hotline number on the paper 888-232-**** had to hit # after listening to three ads then was told to write down a # that the # for my area had changed to 800-712-****. It literally sends you to 411 directory assistance! I feel like this company is just a scam to get and sell your personal info whose real goal is to sell advertising to other companies on the first hotline #. I was trying to get in contact with them to check on the status of my loan application but now I see that doing any deal with them would be a foolish move on my part.

I work hard for my money and any company that wants some of it should work just as hard to earn my business.

Please do yourself a favor and throw any pre-approved letters in the trash where it belongs. Sincerely, Not a Fan!

They charged me for a registration fee that was never stated when I tried to sign up. I was visiting Munich Germany and was never able to use the service due to an error on their part regarding account confirmation. They charged me for a service I never received

THE WORST POSSIBLE legal SCAM ?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
People WAKE UP !! I noticed my best friends receipt on the table & asked a few details. NO Change of original agreement. Straight up simple paymnts made on time @ 480 mnth for OVER 2 YRS. That's over 11,000 !! The balance started at 14,000 for a blue book value of 6,200. AFTER PAYING over $11,000 on time, the balance is 12,000 on a 6,000 vehicle after paying 11,000?? O M G I cant believe people that are that desperate, naive, and vulnerable to these crooks?

Who’s been scammed by these devils and ready to start a class action lawsuit?

Why blame the victim of the scam? Place the blamed where it belongs, on THE SCAMMER! People ARE naive, and forums like this help to enlighten them, not condemn them.

"Why blame the victim of the scam?" Because it isn't a scam. It's simply finance 101 that everyone should know before going into a place like this.

It's really easy, if your credit sucks and you feel you need a car, you won't get the best for less. If you get a new car, you will pay a lot over the long haul for it. If you get an older car, it will probably break down before you're finished paying on it. All loans spell out the terms.

It's up to the so-called victim to understand them before signing. If you don't understand the terms or plan on following them, do not sign... Get up and leave... Problem solved...

You're welcome... Oh...."You must work for" or "Not everyone was born with a silver spoon" or "wait until something happens to you."

Drive Now Auto Credit - Customer Care Review from South Elgin, Illinois

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My experience with Drive Now has been terrible. They may seem like "miracle" workers for people with bad credit, but in reality they like playing god.

When you go thru them to get financed they put a device in your car to "shut it down" when late on a payment. They do not have a grace period and will not work with you when asked for an extension. They happily just disable the car if you don't pay when they want it. Customer Service is ridiculous and treat you like you need to be "taught a lesson".

Also, their charges and interest rates are sky high -- I guess that is the price of miracles. If you can at all help, do not go thru them.

They will eat you alive then take all your money. Trust me, you'll regret it.

{{Redacted}}. Bad things can happen to good people and places like this take advantage of it.

My wife got sick and couldn't work for a ehile then my company moved out of state. We couldn't by food much less pay our credit cards. We got back on out feet but it was too late and had to file chapter 7.

Now intrest rates for me to get a car are 18%. The system is rigged to keep people poor when they get that far down.

Car Review from Newport News, Virginia

Please do not buy a car from this establish ment. They say if you have a problem with your vehicle you can return it within 3days but they lie they say they will give you loaner car but that was a lie.

I purchased a car on Thursday and check engine light came on friday when i tried to return the car on Saturday they refused and said they never said such a thing which by law it is a 3day forgiveness law so i believed them..Take your business elsewhere. Also salesman John said he would give $1000.00 for friend referal however im sure that was a lie as well.

Car dealerships like that are a joke. They should've honored your refund if they were good people but karma will get those shady folks and I would sue!

You realize you got that card because your credit is weak. That card is not a credit card.

It is saying that based on a legal soft pull of your credit, you may be eligible to get a loan after a detailed credit history is looked at.

It is not BS, as you had stated. The reason people receive this card is if they have been recently declined on an auto purchase.

Drive Now Auto Credit Car Financing Review from Marion, Indiana

I financed a dodge Dakota 4x4 from drive now auto credit over a year and a half ago and I've never missed a whole payment .. But I have run into a situation on 2 occasions where I could only pay 1/2 of a month and then caught it up with the next months payment.

I've never missed a whole payment and I've never been late on any payments. But I had something totally out of my control this month...i was paying bills and DirecTV took $374 off of my card instead of what the payment should have been for which was $150 and they said it is gonna take 10 days to put the $224back on my card ..which is for my truck pmt. I paid $200 of this months pmt and called them to tell them that I would be a little late with the other $200. Just until the money from DirecTV goes back on my card....and BRANDY THE LADY I TALKED TO AT DRIVE NOW WAS VERY RUDE TO ME SHE TOLD ME TO SHUT UP THAT I WAS CONFUSING HER WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO READ SOMETHING ...I TRIED TO TELL HER THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A COUPLE MORE DAYS AND SHE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THAT.

SHE IS DISABLING MY TRUCK AT 6pm today ...i was considering doing a trade in soon but not with these people. I am so shocked at the way I was treated ...oh and she was getting real *** with me saying I was 28 days late last month and that was total *** and I called her on it and she had to appollogize to me because she was so wrong...why do us ppl who are trying so hard get treated like trash......at least im making my payments even if a couple have been late I've never missed a whole pmt....after writing this im fired up now and I wanna talk to her boss....sorry BRANDY *** DOES HAPPEN THATS OUT OF OUR CONTROL AND WE SHOULDNT BE TOLD TO SHUT UP OR TREATED LIKE LOSER TRASH PPL....YOU NEED TO SHOW A LITTLE COMPASION....FROM NOW ON I WILL BUY MY VEHICLES ANYWHERE BUT THROUGH DRIVE NOW AUTO CREDIT

I'm so glad i have read this thread, i will eep my money and do business elsewhere no one wants to be treated like trash. the *** with these classless people

Guest

It also wasn't her fault you made half payments... a half payment is not an on time payment.

You must pay the full payment on time. Why do you think you are better than anyone else who has to pay their bills. If you can't afford direct tv, cancel it. If you can not afford a vehicle don't buy it.

It is no ones fault except your own. Stop placing blame on others and take responsibility.

Seems Brandy is rude to everyone. Personally I haven't spoken to a single person there without getting an attitude.

I was trying to call once to set up a new card for payment (due to them repeatedly taking money they were never authorized to take out of my account, stealing...) and the ladies were being ridiculous about it.

Very unprofessional place of business and I'm happy to soon be done with them. Will never go back and do not recommend anyone go to them.

Guest

So u have to bring ya own cash or with the card they sent u

Guest

Wow I'm sorry to hear that. I have been threw the same thing with almost every co.

out there car loans, electric co.

I know I get it that was terrible. I with you all the way do what you have to and good luck in the future.

Drive Now Auto Credit - Car Review from Kansas City, Missouri

I have a car from Drive Now I put 3800 down and with the monthly payments so far I have payed out 7000. And still have 9200 to go.

In the first 5 months I had a new transmission put in a new motor put in. Oh also they painted over rust. The speakers where blown . A 400$ a month payment wasn't worth the drama .

I should have waited. And looked at these reviews. The repair shop they send us to scratched my 24" rims,the front end and the side. And missed parts putting the motor back in.

Its ***...

am over it will trade this *** in. And deal with someone else.
