This was my second time having to…
This was my second time having to purchase a car from DriveTime first time wasn't too bad I did end up driving it back in for voluntary repo due to extreme high interest rate 19% . Second time was 2 years ago purchasing my current vehicle which only had 48 000 miles when I bought it. A little over the 30 day limited warranty ended the control arm would proceed to snap, with visible rusted marks that damaged the control arm and wa informed that none of the parts up front were original meaning this car was damaged and no safety inspection was done before they put it on the lot. Fast forward to about a month ago car started feeling weird while driving, result the CVT's going out as they found metal shavings in the transmission fluid,that DriveTime lied and told me these didn't run on a CVT because I'd been told by few to stay away from those type of transmissions, I would've never bought it. I was lied to by DriveTime as well as this vehicle was sold at way over value, due to me not even having car for 2 years and be $-10000 upside down in payments?? This car w a running transmission is Blue book valued including depreciation $8,700 I still owe $19,000 on the score and I've had it for most two years doesn't add up I know the interest is outrageous but it to me over 2.5 years to become upside down in payments and only 2,000 in my last DriveTime vehicle at same interest rate. I was just in a desperate situation and they were my only option
