I bought a 2004 Chevy Cavalier in 08/04/2007 and the vehicle wass extremly overpriced when they put their 18.8 % interest with the amount financed the total loan became 20,834.34. 2 weeks after i signed the contract the Instrument cluster went hay wire I took to a electrician and he told me it would cst $1500.00 to repair and it might not solve the issues.

I called the Drivewtiem warranty dept and they gave me a # for a shop in Bellflower i called and the mechanic does not handle electrical work but he charges a 40.00 fee to look at.

1 month later the starter went out 2 times costing 600.00 each time total 1200.00. recently the fuel pump went out and cost 868.49 work done at firestone in Hollywood Ca.

Just 2/13/2009 i took the vehicle to Felix Chevrolet in Los Angeles,Ca and the service manager and Techinian told me the car needs a new tranmission costing 3500.00. They told me that the car is not worth it , The bluebook value of the car is 5752 in excellent condition, they said this car is only worth 450.00

I have made a decision not to pay for this Loan any longer and i dont care if DRIVETIME Repos it because with all the money i spent the car is paid for. Please if a Lawyer can start a Class Action law suit please. This Drivetime ,DT CREDIT CORP is ripping off good hard working americans and F...King up their credit and their F...king life. Please help

The total cost of reparis i have put into this peice of s**t is $9750.45 and counting

Firestone and Felix Chevrolet and even vermont Chevrolet in Los Angeles all done a Computer Diagnostic and all have Error codes , I have all documents and work orders of all repairs and what else is wrong. Please file a class action lawsuit. I want DRIVETIME off my back and off my credit report. F*CK THEM!!!!!

Oh yes...you make an agreement to pay you bill on a set day, then you fail to keep up your end of the agreement and with typical sub-prime thinking, its all their fault, right?

And Andy ....its a "BAND WAGON"!  But go ahead and call it a "ban wagon".  It makes you look so intelligent along with your sub prime thinking.

if you can get a class action suit i'd join in. i've been harassed at work i lost a server because of their harassment, i've been threatened to have my legs broken. i will be trying to sue them myself but i'd rather jump on a class action suit. in the state of florida they have broken almost every law of proper bill collecting. believe me they are in deep s**t. and i have witnesses to this.

if you knew the car was over priced then why did you buy it

If you knew the car was over priced then why did you buy it? If you didn't know it was overpriced then you should have done your research. If you cannot pay for a car in cash then you need to step down in car. I have driven $1,000 or $2000 cars and they were great for what I needed at the time. You really can get a ugly but functional car for little money especially in today's economy. Drivetime is one of the most expesive places to buy a used car. If Drivetime does repo your car, they will sell it as is at auction and sue you for the difference in the loan and they will win. So do not do anything rash.
