what is there that people dont understand? you buy a used car, 1 year later it blows up. thats your problem. People with credit problems cans still read right? Its in black and white on the contract as well as the no warranty clause. If people dont like the deal they are getting leave the lot and get back on your bus! dont buy the car and then complain about how much you paid or the intrest. the time to do that is BEFORE you buy, not after you leave and wreck the car and then complain. If you sold a used car to someone and they came back 3, 4, 6, months later because it broke down you dont really expect me to believe you would fix it for free right? You would tell them sorry, it was used and thats your problem. So why is it diffrent if its a company that sells the used car? Bottom line? Buy new or buy used, but you are grown adults with the ability to make up your own minds. If you dont like the high intrest or the price of the car DONT buy it. Or maybe try paying 1 or 2 of your bills on time so you can get a decent price and intrest from someone else. You people are idiots. Poor me, they MADE me buy it. Get real!

bill you got screwed BIG time 12k @27%... on a flooded vehicle. next time get a title history and have a tech(YOUR mechanic NOT theirs)check out the vehicle BEFORE you buy it. it's amazing how much money you can save. i saved my friend almost 50k from buying a escalade... with a broken frame

It's one thing to charge a high interest rate but to sell somebody a piece of junk and have it go out on them weeks after they buy it is wrong. Ugly Duckling sells 90% lemons. I have excellent credit so I can buy a car anywhere at a low rate but if I did have credit problems, I would NEVER buy from UG.

I agree that it was a used vehicle when I bought it but to have that much go wrong in such a short time and being told by 3 different mechanics that it may have been in a previous wreck and may have been flooded makes me feel that they knew they were selling a bad vehicle. I also understand that they give people a "second chance" to re-establish credit and that's good but I don't think that they should take advantage by charging such high interest rates.

I cant help but notice all the comments on drivetime. I also purchased a car from drivetime, when NO One else would give me a car. I am very glad this company was willing to give me a second chance when no one else would. Was the interest high? Yes, but its a chance for me to rebuild my credit. Was the car used? Again yes, and eventually the car had problems, but I guess if you buy an old car you cant really expect it to run perfect forever. A ripoff company? The salesmen didnt hold a gun to my head and the contract was in black and white for me to read. (just like the sign on the car that said NO WARRANTY.) Before people start trying to shut down companies like drivetime you should thik about all the people like me that got good service and a chance to rebuild that no one else would give me.
