It really amazes me how dilusional some people can be. I am by no means a fan of Drive Time, nor would I ever be desperate enough to purchase one of their cars. But whoever said that Drive Time has cars that are like 15 years old is fooling themself. Lets just say that someone very close to me works at the Drive Time Financial Corp, and according to them the oldest cars that they have are like a 96 or 97. Ever since "the duck" was bought out by "Drive Time" the company has decided to start selling newer vehicles, thus cutting down on the problems that they have had in the past. Now that doesnt mean that some of these retards that go to buy a car are not going to complain. My only suggestion would be to know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Test drive and look under the hood and do what you gotta do before you sign the papers. You really cant complain if you make the decision to deal with that type of dealership and get yourself into a used a vehicle. The best thing to do would be to buy a NEW car/truck and that will save a lot of hassle....no matter what dealership you go through.

I've only known about this website for a few weeks, but it has saved a lot of time and trouble. Here in Las Vegas we had Ugly Duckling, now Drive Time. I went by their lot on Boulder Highway and all I saw were cars that should be used in a demolition derby. They were all at least 10 to 15 years old with bald tires and extremely high mileage. When a salesperson approached my husband and I, we got into our car and drove off as quickly as possible. People I worked with told me about Ugly Duckling's tactics to try to scare them into a car and when their payments were late, to threaten them with bodily harm and more. Threats like that are illegal. Dimetra, you should not have had to go through what you did with them. I would have called your attorney general and local news station and reported them. I'm glad you got a better car, and I hope it lasts a long time for you and your four beautiful children.
