Lack of Response I made a deal via the phone to buy a truck. This was late in the day on January 18, 2017. I left a $500.00 deposit by Credit Card. The next morning I made a deal via the phone to buy a truck. This was late in the day on January 18, 2017. I left a $500.00 deposit by Credit Card. The next morning I sent an email to cancel the deal before they opened. They have already sold the truck (as of 1-23-2017) to someone else but I cannot get a return phone call or email from the sales manager Austin to refund my deposit. I have sent two emails with ZERO response. More

2006 Escalade ESV Where to start, found SUV on eBay, stated low miles and mint condition. I emailed for documentation the condition of SUV and quote " mint condition, N Where to start, found SUV on eBay, stated low miles and mint condition. I emailed for documentation the condition of SUV and quote " mint condition, NO paint work or prior damage" at this point I purchased SUV. Was also told it would be delivered in 7-10 days. Took over 3 weeks to receive SUV. After taking possession of SUV, it was filthy inside and out, found that the front and rear bumper and left rear quarter panel had been painted. Of course they said they would buy it back but at my cost to ship it back. Would of lost even more money at this point after putting new tires and a professional detail value 2k for these services. What also amazed me is that eBay took there side even though I had pictures that proved this situation! Crooked all around this company " century motor cars is the apitamy of a used car lot that tells you what you want to hear. They take advantage of honest people" On a final note SUV had bad transmission seal that did fall under there 3 month 3k mile warrenty but also discovered the rear differential had no oil, power steering pump had a 1/3rd of power steering fluid. I learned a valuable lesion, never buy from this company again and will most likely never use eBay as they did not protect there valuable customers. I have purchased many cars off eBay and never was taken advantage like this before. More

Your deposit means nothing It took 3 requests for the dealer to send me photos of the vehicle’s underside; the first indication of incompetence. I had a friend test drive the ta It took 3 requests for the dealer to send me photos of the vehicle’s underside; the first indication of incompetence. I had a friend test drive the tacoma and I decided to purchase. Frank, the dealer, took my deposit of $500 over the phone 15 minutes after my friend left the dealership. My bank indicates the deposit went through at 11:29 am. I purchased an airline ticket from NY to Florida to arrive two days later. I was happy and excited to have made the purchase. At 4:00 The dealer emails to say another buyer purchased the truck on ebay, AFTER me and he would honor that purchase over mine. I looked at Ebay and the buyer purchased at 3:34 pm. The dealer had over 4 hours to remove the truck from ebay. Gina has since told me they are unable to remove a vehicle from eBay. Then she told me they could have....which is it? Frank apologized, but would not honor my purchase. I suspect they prefer eBay buyers so they can keep their eBay reviews artificially high as they screw people buying from cars.com or elsewhere. That he never removed the vehicle from ebay in the 4 hours after my purchase shows more incompetence. That he didnt honor the sale to me, the first buyer, shows he is an unethical dealer. The right thing to do would be honor the first sale. Everyone would agree on this. Now I have a $300 plane ticket to nothing. It took over two weeks and a dozen calls and emails to get my deposit back. Frank and Gina offered nothing to make this situation right. Their interests and concerns are only of themselves. Beware: your deposit means nothing at Century Motor Car. If they do this, what other questionable practices does Century Motor Car engage in to sell cars? To be fair, I sent this review to Frank and Gina and they had nothing to change. More

Unethical and deceptive For starter, I inspect cars professionally and this vehicle was one of the worst when it comes to dealer deception. Vehicle was found on eBay. Was a 1 For starter, I inspect cars professionally and this vehicle was one of the worst when it comes to dealer deception. Vehicle was found on eBay. Was a 10 year old low mileage (less than 25k miles) , one owner, "certified pre owned" with a clean Carfax. Purchased and paid in full over the phone. I flew in from out of state and was quickly upset at the state of the car. Was advertised as accident free, but I found that the front bumper, entire passenger side, and rear bumper had been previously repainted indicating at least moderate damage to a large area of the car. It was so easy to spot that I can't even believe it was incompetence on their part. I am certain that they willfully withheld those facts. Then the vehicle was listed with only insignificant scratches and dings. This was also untrue. I found large, deep, obvious scratches and dings some of which were hidden with touch up that didn't match. Tail light had multiple large cracks and needed replacing. Key fob didn't work at all. Weatherstrip was dry and cracked. As far as mechanical condition, it was also in poor condition. Starting was hard and labored. When shifting into a gear, it would drop hard and loudly into gear indicating many possible mechanical failures. On the road there were intermittent abnormal noises from the automatic transmission. The brakes were spongy and required immediate repair. Alignment was also needed. Certainly not what any reasonableperson would expect from a "certified pre owned" low mileage late model vehicle. I brought these issues to Austin who was dismissive. He told me that the repainting was not a significant issue. Wouldn't acknowledge the very apparent transmission issues. He finally called over the shop technician who did acknowledge the issue. I finally managed to get him to refund my money, but took some effort to simply get a ride back to the airport which he told me the owner specifically said not to give me a ride back. I'm still out of pocket for round trip airfare and an entire day wasted. TL/DR: Car was grossly misdvertised. Critical issues were intentionally withheld. Hidden accident and had faulty transmission. Clearly NOT a certified pre owned vehicle. Simply and absolutely false. This dealership is simply unethical and deceptive. More

The moment I got it t I bought a car from this dealer sight unseen on Ebay. I was assured the car was wonderful. It had a clean Carfax and low miles. The moment I got it the car was bleeding oil. No help from dealer. Frank and Austin were cocky and disrespectful after I bought the car. Cost of oil leak was $1100. More

DONT BUY CAR. 2002 CHRYSLER CONCORD VIN # 2C3AD36M12H225907 DONT BUY THIS CAR. 2002 CHRYSLER CONCORD LXI VIN # 2C3AD36M12H225907 On May 2nd 2016 I bought a 2002 Chrysler Concord LXI from Century Motors. W DONT BUY THIS CAR. 2002 CHRYSLER CONCORD LXI VIN # 2C3AD36M12H225907 On May 2nd 2016 I bought a 2002 Chrysler Concord LXI from Century Motors. Within a week it had to be towed several times. First a part on the fuel line broke which gave off a strong odor of gas. It cost $300.00 and dealer would only pay half. Then both handles on the front door came off in our hands. We noticed they were glued later. Then the engine light came on and the car overheated. I brought it to my mechanic and he first fixed the thermostat and when that didn't work he called me with really bad news. The head gasket was cracked and rigged with a glue called "blue devil". I towed car back to dealership. The owner was out of town for a week but said his manager would handle it. One week later I finally called and the manager said the mechanic did not look at the car yet. Really? He also said there is nothing he can do and that I had to wait until the next day when owner was back. The next day I showed up at dealership and owner was finally there. He said he was busy and would have to get back with me tomorrow. I told him no need, I am pulling the car today. He said no, you don't have to do that, I'll have someone look at it tonight. I said no thank you, I am calling AAA and the car is getting pulled tonight. He had to nerve to say I wasn't given him the opportunity to work with me. I said you had the car 10 days, that's enough time. We were not even out of the car lot yet when he was calling telling us to come back with the title and he would give us our money back, which he did. But, he also said the car was running fine and it was not the gasket. So, what was it they didn't want us to find on that car? The worst part of this story is the car was back on the lot the next day listed for $200.00 more then what I paid for it. The difference is an extended warranty was now offered. These guys should be arrested. They are crooks who treat people horrible. More

Good transaction, Bought a 2004 Saab 9-5 off of Ebay from Frank, sight unseen. We came up with a fair price and Frank added some extras, such as new tires to my satisfa Bought a 2004 Saab 9-5 off of Ebay from Frank, sight unseen. We came up with a fair price and Frank added some extras, such as new tires to my satisfaction. As I assume with most online transactions for a 14 year old car, there was an issue that did not meet my expectations. Frank was very understanding and went over and beyond to my complete satisfaction. A pleasure to deal with and would definitely purchase from again. More

DISHONEST!!! Wow, where to start. On August 25th, 2015, I bought a 2007 Durango on Ebay, from these people. The car was described as well maintained and in excelle Wow, where to start. On August 25th, 2015, I bought a 2007 Durango on Ebay, from these people. The car was described as well maintained and in excellent condition. The ad disclosed one minor accident in the rear. It also stated that the warranty would be extended from 3 months to 12 months if the, "Buy it now" option was used. The price was $11,900.00, top dollar for a 2007 Durango. I did use the buy it now option, and completed the purchase in good faith. The vehicle arrived about three weeks after the initial purchase, on Ebay. It was immediately clear that the vehicle had been in a front end collision. There were interior trim parts falling off and the door lock buttons did not work. The windshield washer pump did not work and the headlight, dimmer switch did not function. The engine has made an audible, valve train noise since day one. Estimates from reputable, collision repair shops ranged from $3250.00 to $3300.00. The owner of Century Motors was reluctant to pay for any of the repairs, initially. After A GREAT DEAL of arguing and negotiating, Frank agreed to pay for 50% of the collision repair. I ate the other half. The warranty paperwork that the dealer sent, showed only a 3 month coverage period. I e-mailed and called Austin, Frank's flunky, many, many times over the next several weeks to have the warranty extended to 12 months, as stated in the original, Ebay ad. It is now January 16, 2016 nearly 5 months after the purchase and I still do not have a copy of the warranty. I do, however, have a 2007 Durango that has been in at least 2 accidents, that I paid almost $12,000.00 for. On top of the purchase price, I have sunk over $2000.00 into the vehicle out of my own pocket. AVOID THESE PEOPLE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! They have NO integrity or decency! More
