AI tools can help detect fake reviews, so be sure to check before making a decision. Unfortunately, my experience with Hampstead Pre-Owned was far from positive. I went in for a well-priced 2023 Dodge Durango and was invited for a same-day test drive. However, the experience quickly raised red flags. 🚗 Test Drive Issues & Hidden Damage • The vehicle had no gas, limiting the test drive to just a mile—nowhere near enough to assess its performance, especially at highway speeds. • During my exterior inspection, I noticed a cracked front bumper—something that wasn’t disclosed in their inspection report. • The dealership assured me they would fix it, but this should have been disclosed upfront. 💰 Unethical Pricing & Trade-In Tactics • My 2021 Toyota RAV4 was grossly undervalued despite having a verified trade-in quote from KBB. • When I was ready to leave, the owner, Anthony, quickly increased his offer multiple times, proving the original offer wasn’t fair. • This kind of pricing game raises serious concerns about their transparency. 📑 Financing Red Flags • After agreeing on a trade-in, the financing employee was suddenly removed, and the sales manager took over—something the finance employee said had never happened before. • The first contract I was given contained major discrepancies: o A $9,000 markup on the total price. o An extended warranty quoted at $12/month that was actually $60/month in the final contract. • When I caught these errors, they brushed it off as an "honest mistake" and claimed they would have corrected it later. That’s not how contracts work. ⚠️ Pushy Sales Tactics & Hidden Fees • The sales team pushed the extended warranty aggressively, refusing to take "no" for an answer. After seeing other reviews, I now understand why—they likely know their cars aren’t reliable. • A $1,295 HPO certification fee was charged, supposedly for brakes, oil, wipers, tires, and detailing—yet none of these services were actually performed. • A $799 dealer processing fee was added on top of the tag/title fee, yet my tag transfer wasn’t even completed properly. 🛠️ Poor Repairs & Lack of Accountability • When my bumper was finally replaced, I was given a loaner for three days. Upon picking up my car, multiple warning lights were on—something the dealership saw but chose to ignore. • After waiting two hours, the issue was traced to unplugged bumper sensors—a basic mistake that should never happen at a professional shop. ❌ Final Verdict After everything I experienced, I cannot recommend Hampstead Pre-Owned. The hidden fees, shady financing practices, and lack of quality control make this dealership one to avoid. If you’re considering buying from them, be extremely cautious and double-check everything before signing. Attached are photos of the warning lights and proof of the unperformed HPO items. I hope my experience helps others make an informed decision before trusting this dealership. More

I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize to the team at Hampstead Preowned. When I first bought my car, my experience was truly wonderful, and I was excited to personalize it just a bit. However, a team at Hampstead Preowned. When I first bought my car, my experience was truly wonderful, and I was excited to personalize it just a bit. However, after decorating the interior, I faced an unexpected issue—the very next day, my car wouldn't start. I was incredibly frustrated, especially considering it was only two weeks old. I reached out to Hampstead Preowned, and I appreciate how they listened to my concerns and jumped into action. I arranged for my car to be towed back to the dealership, and after a thorough diagnosis, they discovered that the decorative ring I had placed around the ignition was interfering with the key's chip. I can't express enough how grateful I am that Hampstead took the time to identify the problem. If it weren't for their expertise and dedication, I could have ended up with a hefty repair bill. I truly apologize for any misunderstandings or frustrations I may have caused during this process. I'm just relieved it wasn't anything major, and I am thankful for the support I received. If circumstances ever change, I’ll be sure to take back my apology😁. Thank you so much, Hampstead Preowned, for your understanding and assistance! 😊🙏🏾 More
