I purchased the vehicle for $29000 with $5000 down. When I went to pick the vehicle up a large amount of smoke came from the exhaust when I started it and every time I started it there after. I called When I went to pick the vehicle up a large amount of smoke came from the exhaust when I started it and every time I started it there after. I called the next day to let them know. They insisted it was because it was cold outside and perhaps the vehicle had just been sitting. 2 weeks later as me and my kids are driving to a festival the check engine light and low oil pressure light comes on. I immediately pull over to google what that means and how serious it was. Google said it was one of the worst things that can happen to that vehicle so I called DriveTime right away. The gave me a shop to take it to. We went to firestone as told and firestone said the vehicle had less than 1/3 of a quart of oil and it appeared as tho the vehicle had never had an oil change and recommended the entire engine be flushed. The cost of the oil change was $106 and they did not do engine flushes at their facility and recommend I find someone that does. I then called drivetime to tell them what the report said. They said they would not reimburse me for the oil and that I would have to pay that myself. The following day I have to take my kids home to their mother which is a 90 min drive each direction. While on I4 the same things happens, however this time we are on a busy highway and I am not about to risk the safety of my kids lives and be on the side of I4 with cars doing 80+ MPH so I drove to the nearest exit and parked the vehicle at 7-11 and Hilton Hotel. My ex had to drive to come get the kids and I had to take an uber home, $58 dollars later I make it home. The following day I let DriveTime know what had happened and they said its under SilverRock warranty to call them to handle it. SilverRock said to tow it to the nearest facility and that once again I needed to pay for that. $177 to tow the vehicle in which they said they will reimburse $75 of that cost. I then had to fex ex the keys to the shop which was another $38. Upon calling Drive Time they said they will not reimburse me. I told them if they would just pay for the towing for the last tow to Nissan I would not file complaints or hire an attorney. They couldn't even bother to pay that, they would rather pay my attorney fees and have me let the world know what kind of scam they are. The staff are actually great, they have nothing to do with the corruption that is DRIVETIME, DRIVE TIME, DRIVETIME OF LAKELAND, LAKELAND DRIVETIME More

Extra warranty was applied but there is still deductible cost for repairs. You need to 1. Not Trust them and 2. Take it to a mechanic within a week of purchase. We found how poorly a job they did by taking it to Chevrolet. Once you have a problem you will get a whole new experience with Drivetime and it won't be pleasant, they won't care or volunteer to do the right thing for you. Buyers Beware of DriveTime Lakeland. Wish I could list of the repairs done and still needing to be done and it's only be 6 months could have done better from a mom and pop store on Craigslist. BEWARE. GET A SECOND INSPECTION. I gave 2 star not one because it's running because of the repairs they have made and paid for thus far. More

The process was easy...Way too easy and let me tell you why. I had purchased a car through them and from no fault of my own I had lost my job and decided to let the car go back after 2 years of paying on i why. I had purchased a car through them and from no fault of my own I had lost my job and decided to let the car go back after 2 years of paying on it I still owed almost the same amount as when I got it. Bridgecrest is the one that financed it. They will sue you on the balance of the car that you owe. More
