Beware!!!! Stay Away From These Con Artists!!!! - Antoinette Sade

If you want a nice car, a car that you will get your money worth, a car that will not break down on you within the 1st few months NEVER GO TO BE APPROVED USED CARS!!! They sold 2 bad cars. I had to pay over $1,500 in repairs for the 1st car, Audi A4. The head gas blew & the engine was wearing out extremely bad. I traded in the Audi (8/24/2015) under the impression that getting a less expensive on repairs car (2013 Nissan Altima) would give me less problems. Within the 1st week I had several problems with the 2nd car. The windows wouldn't let down, the seats didn't move, the car would slow down/wouldn't accelerate when I made turns (which could potential cause an accident), the air conditioning stopped working & would only come on at times only when I was driving, the body control module is broken, etc. I reported all of this within the 1st week of owning the vehicle. Still nothing done. I was sent to the mechanic. But, they wasn't cooperating with the mechanic themselves. Gabriel Castro lied & said that he was ordering the pieces to repair the Nissan. But, the mechanic that was going to fix the car confirmed that Gabriel was lying. They also never came through with pieces that were missing/broken on the Audi. The Audi is in terrible condition yet they put it back on the lot (to sell it to someone else who would fall for their scheme). They constantly kept lying & giving me the run around about it. Be Approved Used Cars also hasn't paid the remainder balance (a little under $10,000) on the Audi I traded in, which soon will go to delinquency & reflect my credit. As far as that, they still haven't paid the remainder balance of my 1st car. Keep your money. Don't go there & waste it with these scammers. They also told me to never call them back. Even though they owe on 1 of my cars & I still have a piece of xxxx Altima through them.

The guys at Buy Repo Direct are probbibly the most proffesional dealer I have ever bought from not only are they skilled in business ethics, but also are kind and very helpful. I have bought over 18 cars in my life time and I have never been treated with as much courtesy as I did at Buy Repo Direct. They had the best price in town and got me a discount for being a credit union member. Their whole concept is just what this country need to get the economy flowing again. I have recomended many of my friends and family to Sam and his profesional crew.

Saw a low mileage car for $2500. - sheltydog

Saw a low mileage car for $2500. Put in an inquiry and figured I’d pick it up the next day. They sent me a message saying they’d assign the car to a salesman who would contact me soon. A few days later I read that this company has many cars for $2500 and that is the down payment. A few days after that a salesman contacted me. By then I was ignoring them. Bait and switch!

Good dealership - vic1147

Sold my car there at the end of Florida season and looked around on their lot for a newer car to purchase next October when I will be back. Good appraisal compared with other dealers in the area. Selling process pleasant and quick. First price was a low ball thing and I rejected it - after 20 mins the dealership called back and they said they have a better offer which I accepted. They have lots of interesting cars for everybody but they are priced on the high side. You have to know what you want and really read and understand the CARFAX report. Have not tried bargaining because I was not ready to buy. Will come back there.

I so enjoyed working with CarMax. - Gran

I so enjoyed working with CarMax. The process was very easy. I would recommend CarMax to anyone looking to make a purchase.

I'm really happy with the trade-in value, the car I - paco650

I'm really happy with the trade-in value, the car I bought, and the financing terms. Unlike other dealerships, they didn't try to woo me with nonsense and stuck to the numbers. It's probably one of the only dealerships you can walk into like that.

WARNING WARNING. - Calebgreen1981

WARNING WARNING. Stay away. I purchased my 2016 lamborghini hurricane here. The car had a vehicle rap, but I was assured the car was in perfect condition because they knew the owner and he was a previous customer.. When I took the wrap off to change the color, I discovered the vehicle had body damage on all sides that had been poorly repaired, and the rap was hiding.. To make things worse when I got the vehicle serviced at the lamborghini dealership, they discovered there was odometer fraud. The gauge cluster had been changed out, over twenty thousand miles. I brought all this to the dealer. And there answere to me was, you bought it as is, your problem.

Easy to deal with and honest. A very pleasant surpise !!! - davemonfl

I was looking for a used 328i with Sport Package and 6 speed manual. Proved to be impossible to find in Sarasota/Bradenton area. Found two in Tampa and one in Palm Beach so went to Cars of Tampa. The car they had was just what I wanted but it had after market 16" wheels instead of 17" or 18" that come with Sport Package, and it was missing two pieces of trim around the rear door windows. They threw in OEM BMW 18" wheels off a crashed BMW they had on the lot and said they would get the trim pieces for me from a junk yard and mail them to me. After a month or so of searching they could not find the trim pieces so they ordered them brand new and installed them for me for free. I highly recommend these guys!!

The following is true and accurate. - rwarner

The following is true and accurate. It is a copy of the review I left with Chevrolet. Ordered a Corvette on Nov 1, 2023. From the beginning, the sales manager was informed that I may seek my own financing and that I was declining the dealer’s packaged add-ons. I was told that as long as they were not paid with a bank draft, wire transfer or cashiers check okay, outside financing was acceptable. The day before delivery I talked to the F&I mgr and informed him that I had obtained my own financing. I was informed then that the dealer had also obtained financing and that I did not have to make a decision then, but I could let him know the next day at delivery. The important fact here is that I was told there was a decision to make. The next day (2/20/24), delivery, I informed the F&I mgr that I wished to use the financing I obtained myself. He left the office and came back with someone, I believe his name was Nick, who told me they would not accept the outside financing. In fact there was no decision for me to make on financing. I was told to accept the dealer arranged financing or walk away from the car that I ordered months before and put a $2000 deposit on. My car was being held hostage, and I was being coerced into a loan I did not want. Walking away was not an option, and the dealer knew this. I had no choice but to agree to the dealer obtained financing. I’m guessing that had I allowed them to install and charge me a ridiculous fee for their useless “package,” the financing would have been less of an issue. They agreed to sell the car at MSRP, I agreed to pay MSRP. I did not agree to purchase paint sealant, door edge guards, and other useless options at an inflated rate. I declined these in November of 2023 when they accepted my deposit. I should add, since the dealer will see this, that I have already refinanced the loan. They should be expecting not to receive payment from the original lender, or to be charged back by the lender if they have already been paid. So in the end, they will not receive any funds from the loan and they lost a real customer who will make it a priority to leave accurate negative reviews wherever and whenever possible. I’m sure they couldn’t care less about my reviews or whether they retain me as a customer, this outcome had to be expected; however, hopefully the financial hit they take will persuade them to not do this to anyone else. I have a feeling it won’t change a thing for them. Lastly, for what it’s worth, my salesman Josh Westfall is a true courteous professional. My experience with him was A+.

They did a pretty good job responding when I made an - Jossette

They did a pretty good job responding when I made an offer on a cute Volkswagen Beetle but the counter offer wasn’t as good as I would have expected. Maybe I was expecting too much but not sure I really want the car now after all. The price is just too high for what you get

Got ripped off on my face out of 1700 Dollars - Ripped guy

I just lost 1700 going back and forth for the incomplete information, they tell you numbers without showing you any documentation, they tell you a price for the vehicle and right after you took it off the lot and come back to finish the deal they will change that price telling you so when are you going to pay the rest? what rest oh I said you have to pay another one thousand because this car was 3000 down, I never heard of this 3000 down all the time we talked about 1500, I wasted like 2300 with all the paperwork I had to do going to the insurance company and so on, after coming to sign off on the document I was ready to finish the deal after two or three days of me driving the vehicle, they will let you get the vehicle but they will not tell you how much is the total for the vehicle because according to them, they can't give you a final price or show you the breakdown of the payments and everything because the bank they work with takes time, I have spoken to other dealerships and they have all told me that makes no sense. I refused to pay the extra 1000 thousand dollars for the downpayment and wanted to get my money back and find another dealership because at this time I already lost confidence, but the manager said there is no way that I will get my downpayment back, It took me so long to save up my money to get my first vehicle, sweat and tears just to be lost like this, the vehicle was a Ford Fuson 2016 black sedan I was skeptical about this vehicle to begin with because the paint around the passenger door seems like it has been repainted, and the color seems not to be the original color. I went to carfax to check the vehicle because they didnt provide any carfax my mistake I should have asked, in my carfax it shows that it has been involved in flood. After refusing to pay the extra 1000 he said I could pick a cheaper vehicle that is the best that I can do, there were no vehicles that I like but since I already paid the down and I dont want to lose my hard earned money, I picked a white Hyundai Sonata 2016, only two years old but with 55k miles. how is that possible unless the vehicle was used as a rental car, or uber, but I had no choice I took the vehicle I was told the vehicle was 10,000k and that I had to give 2000 down I said okay, again they didnt fix my paperwork right there they told me to go home and came back after a few days, I asked him again so how much is this car in total they again said I can't tell you because until the bank answers me I wont be able to know. I came to get the papers after a couple of days and I was told everything is fine now no problem the monthly payment will be 363. I thought not so bad, and left then I went over the papers at home after a couple of days, and I saw the total amount $23,833. What the F.....Then I decided to look online for the same vehicle and I found about 20 other vehicles same age with 15k 25k for 12,000 dollars I went to the dealerships to talk to them and they all laughed at me saying what the xxxx, they ran some new numbers with the same down payment of 2k and they monthly payment came to 340 and the total price of the vehicle to 19,000 and much newer model with GPS and 25k miles. I rapidly went to the dealership to return my car just that I couldn't start the car it was dead some battery problem and had to ask some else to give me a boost, on my so-called new car. I went to the dealership left the keys and took off. I hope nobody else lose their hard earned money the way I did. Turned out the once 10k car became 15k and plus 7k extra for the interest over a period of 60 months. Share it and save a friend money is hard to make.

Horrible customer service - Stevo1969

Drove 2 hrs to buy a car that they had listed ,the car wobbled very bad, they had to change 2 tires and made us wait 2 hrs to fix it , one would think it should have been fixed before be it was on the lot to sell . Then they handed over the keys to us and it had an empty gas tank and a non detailed or cleaned car, they actually laughed at us when we told them we wanted the tank full for all of the inconvenience..After waiting all of that time, they wouldn't even fill our tank up... Horrible customer service as far as I'm concerned!

Kern is an amazing person. - Drumdean

Kern is an amazing person. Dealing with him was an absolute pleasure. This dealership is fantastic. I can’t say enough about the people here. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a used vehicle.

I traveled out of state for this purchase so I was a bit - Rmccombs321

I traveled out of state for this purchase so I was a bit skeptical at first… however From the time I arrived I knew I was in good hands all I had to do was drive my car. I didn’t like the original car I wanted I saw something else and they made it happen.

So I walked into this dealership not at all expecting the - nikia

So I walked into this dealership not at all expecting the treatment that I got. Will was very professional from the start and even though they are appointment only, he was able to squeeze me in as I was only in town for a short window. Upon arrival and entrance into their showroom I said "I am not in the right tax bracket to be here". Never once did I actually feel like that was the case. The guys that work here are car guys, that was my favorite part about being here. Everyone was so humble and I even had the chance to meet and talk with an owner, he let me know some history about the car I was interested in and about it's former owner. This place doesn't feel like any other dealership I've been to. I found out that the owners are actually real estate agents and this place is their passion project. They are actual car people, not just salesmen. I LOVE the corvette I got from them. I bought it as a gift for myself for my 26th birthday almost 2 weeks ago and they worked with me on the price I was willing to pay for it and went above and beyond to find me the best lender and monthly payment on it. We started the purchase on NYE and the lender closed early and stayed closed until the 3rd, they stayed in contact with me throughout the process and we waited together until I finally got the call with good news. I wont lie, I was intimidated by this dealership before I went in and experienced it for myself. Now, I don't think I'll go anywhere else for my next purchase. *an honest review from someone who never writes reviews* THANKS FALCON! :)

One word: Dishonest Misleading, misrepresented, basically not what they advertise. I suspect the car was a flood victim from Katrina. Cost me more than $3000 in maintenance in the 10 months I owned it.

Consumer Fraud - tireland

I bought a used car from this dealer in August 2019. On the test drive I noticed the check engine light was on otherwise the vehicle seemed OK. I gave them a deposit to hold the vehicle and on the deposit slip they wrote "refundable if check engine light is a problem". They turned off the check engine light and told me the vehicle was fine so I completed the purchase. When I left the dealer lot the check engine light was off; before I got home (less than 10 miles) the check engine light was back on and showing a code for a transmission problem. They refused to return my money and cancel the sale. Five days later the transmission failed completely. I took them to small claims court but they hired an attorney who got the case thrown out on old case law - not the merits of this case. I strongly recommend that you run as fast as you can from this used car dealership. They are located at 805 SE Colorado Ave, Stuart, FL (not the US 1 address shown above.). They are located on Colora

This place is the worst place to ever buy a car. They have done so much damage to their customers, they have moved right down the street @ 744 N Andrews Ave Ft. Lauderdale Fl 33304. They also changed their name to Neighborhood Auto. They are not even registered. I looked up the new location and it belongs to "Repossession Unlimited". I purchased a vehicle from them in 2009 and paid it off in the beginning of 2010. After dealing with a repo, them disappearing, and making payments by mail.I finally paid them off. Now Zeev Lelinger the owner, claims I owe him more money. I've fought long and hard to pay this car off and Now he refuses to give me my title. They are so unprofessional, they have no customer service skills. Can't understand why this business is still running.
