Not an ideal situation turned blessing!
I went into buying a car knowing I had bad credit, a limited down payment as well as how much I could afford monthly, but no idea what type. I searched between 2/3 Alabama locations. Visited both to test drive several. In the nearly 4 week search, I had some pretty bad test drives, good ones & multiple people helping at different times. The vehicle I walked out with is hands down amazing! Great year, make, no damage, looks & feels like I purchased right off the lot brand new. Take your time, be patient & things will work out in time. Luckily, the manager, Dakota, had been through hearing ne say over & over again that I couldn't finagle anywhere. Not on the payment, down payment, pricing or make. I had a vehicle picked but it was needing a small repair that they sent it off to have fixed. Even though I had it picked out, they received a new delivery the next day, but he reached out to tell me about it. I went that evening, test drove it & fell in love! It ended up being a much better choice than what I had picked. Make nice with these people, be strong on what you wants or needs. This experience turned out to be a huge blessing & I only have them to thank for it by continuing to think about my situation! I definitely recommend DriveTime even when you think you have no other choice. Other than the vehicles not having any certain "point" inspections before they are delivered, you automatically get a 30 day/1,500 mile warranty to have it checked out anywhere you choose. Take the chance!
