Drive with Pride – Preowned Luxury Cars

On 6÷3÷16 We came in to purchase a 15 passenger transit vehicle for our Care Home. We filled out an application and put down a $ 1,500 down payment. We were then told that we are approved and could take a loaner home for the weekend to get our residents around. At this time everyone was very polite and helpful. We received the loaner and it had absolutely NO GAS (which was ok to deal with). Then we realized that one of the tires was flat, the engine light was on, and the back row was missing so we couldn’t transport anyone. The next day we exchanged vehicles for another with no problem it just took 45 minutes. On 6÷6÷16 we got a call from the dealership and was informed that we were approved but needed to put down $ 4,000 more. We told told them no thank you and we would be bringing the loaner vehicle back and would be expecting our $ 1,500 back. We got there around 4:15pm and around 4:45pm we were told that the department that writes the checks for payment leave at 5 and wouldn’t be able to do and to come back the next day. Well we came back today 6÷7÷16 and were informed that the woman that had our check in her office was gone to lunch at 2:30. It is now 4:00 and we are still sitting here with no check. Mike informed us that the guy that writes the check is off and his girlfriend is gone for the day. Why were we told early from Mike that the check was locked away? Moral of the story we should have just went to Carmax to begin with because we got the transit for $ 10,000 cheaper and a $ 300 less down and way cheaper note.

Should I really write this review? It’s clear the type im of business ran. But here I go.
Went to look at a 56K (says the website) Mercedes. I get there they check my trade in say they will give me 6500 and had 15k down. Sounds good right? Now the price of the Mercedes has jumped to 62k a whole even 6k as my trade in huh? Way to cancel that out. then they multiply taxes to the 62k pre down payment and trade to eat more of my down payment and leave me with a high car payment. which would not be the correct math it goes (price– down payment-​trade then multiply taxes). They did taxes first against the already high market price. Fair market was 42k-​53k they had 56k then tried to jack 62k. Clearly I played it cool as if I was thinking about it but already made up my mind and just let them run back and for giving me trash quotes. Before I went across the street and got a better deal. The white one was the one i really wanted the white one hey had but they wanted to scam me so hey it’s what it is. Clearly my shirt said «engineering» soon as the numbers hit in was like these guys are looney.

Not only do they try the bait and switch (drove over to look at a specific car that wasn’t even there despite having an appointment), now I’m getting mysterious random robo calls and phishing «this is the technician, your firewall on your computer is down».
This NEVER happened until I filled out their form so they give out your info too.
Stay away from these used car salesmen that give used car salesmen the bad rep they have

If you don’t want to be ripped off don’t go there. Saw a car that my son was interested in, called to make sure that it was there. Got a number of calls from them asking whether we were coming. When we got there the car was there or was it? Internet picture and info were talking about a car with 25k miles on it, so was a window plackard. But the car odometer said 38k. Sales guy did not know what’s happening. Car was dirty as heck and not ready for sale. Everything reeked of being fishy. We left just to get not very nice text messages from the sale guy John. No way I am going back or would recommend anybody to go.

Donr buy anything from these guys. They added a 3000.00 warranty to my contract but i dont have a warranty when my car needs service but was charged for it. Nick told me to do what i have to do.

Larry Cousins over there at this dealership is a con artist they said they had a certain vehicle out there for me a Buick Enclave they never had the vehicle they said they do bank finance or in house finance they don’t do in house finance what they do they going to take your name and social security number and go to the bank and run your credit behind closed doors then they’re going to try to ask you to come up with a bigger down payment its a scam do not go there Larry cousins, and his sidekick is named Nick stay away from that lot mi familia is right across the street to they’re in it together they lie about cars and lie about finance so don’t waste your time there

I will not do business with Drive with Pride, although my decision is not based applicable to all employees, my now and current future decision will reflect off unprofessionalism, time wasted, and negative affect that I have underwent with your business. Overbooking a car, Setting features to the car that are non existent, Not upholding the end of a «signed contract», affected credit by your dealer applying to way to many businesses, having to reinsure my previous vehicle because of spot delivery performed by dealer, contacting place of residency to change vehicle, Delinquency on my accounts for time wasted causing me to be late on payments, to negative and displeasing attitude and behavior performed by your dealer. My choice not to sue for delinquency on my accounts but I have already implemented my 3 year review on drive with pride to the Better Business Bureau.
So, due note, my future business with Drive With Pride Will Be ‘0’.
!DONT BE SCAMMED!
ENJOY MY REVIEW

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. My husband drove 200 miles round trip to see a car that was not even on the lot. Mr Larry Cousins spoke twice with my husband about the car and Mr Cousins secretary even called the day of the appointment to be sure he was on his way. About 30 minutes from arriving at the dealership, my husband’s passenger called and again spoke to Mr Cousins. Upon arrival, the vehicle, as well as Mr Cousins, were no where to be found. The associate there told my husband that the vehicle was in the process of being transported. What a waste of time and energy.

Please, please, please!!! Do not purchase your vehicle from Drive With Pride. They are designed to target customer with problem credit but on the same note they are designed to rip you off in during your purchase. When test driving the vehicle, please be sure to check the tires on the vehicle. I specifically checked the tires while test driving and notice days later after purchase the tire were not the same as I witness before purchase. I spoke with Nick (over maintenance dept.) and asked him to send me photos of the vehicle when it was advertised, he never forward me the photos although he states those are the same tires. He had the nerve to offer to sell me wholesale tires, really! I am working on contacting BBB along with sending a letter to the owner of the lot, but i keep getting the run around. I have spread the word to all my family members and friends whom are looking to purchase a vehicle during income tax season… please find another lot. i will not allow this to rest.

Never again in my life will I go to this place. Not even if it’s my last option. All liars. .will tell you anything to get you to buy a vehicle and will take your deposit in a heart beat. But we decided not to purchase a vehicle after all and had hell getting my deposit back. Went to manager and couldn’t get any help from him either. Sad that the receptionist was the one person that helped me and it wasn’t even her job. Don’t go here! !!! Bad business, unethical and all liars. dont even deserve 1 star..

WORST DEALERSHIP EVER!!! BEWARE!!! There were too many things to list, but what it really boils down to are l: they will never do what they tell you they are going to do, purchasing a car could take you up to two months (that’s how long it has taken us and we’re still not done), THEY ARE ALL LIARS (which is normal in car buying unfortunately, but they lied about stupid insignificant things), and most importantly they are a rip-​off and their cars are crap. We bought a car from out of state and when it was delivered, the tires were so bald that it wasn’t even drivable and it broke down within 4 days. It will take at least an additional 5k to fix this car. This was hands down the worst experience with a company I’ve ever had (and I’ve had some dooseys!)
STAY AWAY!!! And if you still cant, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS. I have boughten 3 cars here, and never learned my lesson to not go back, because of how young I was. This time I went in knowledgeable and knowing they couldn’t screw me over (they didn’t like that) after a week of telling me I was getting the car I had chosen they brought me in and told me I needed 6k down… For a 2010 car? What a joke. I told them I was doing everything I could to bring my credit score up and to not go to every bank checking who could give me «the better rate» they did not listen and checked my credit score with 11 banks, bringing my credit score down 79 points in ONE WEEK! SAID is the name of the sales guy… He is a liar and will keep saying his two famous phrases over and over «I going the extra mile for you» «I’m on your side my friend» I will be getting an attorney and suing this place for misleading communication. It’s also taken them 4 days to refund me my deposit back and I’ve been able to talk to NO ONE. Just email this guy, and gotten no response. I repeat keep away from SAID. pronounced
(SA-​EED).

I want to give negative star review!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS LOT EVVVVVVER!!! We went to Drive With Pride on Memorial Day weekend. We were In and out with the car we wanted. They verified our employment and salaries. We had the car for 3 weeks and the came to repo the car. We hadn’t even made the first car payment yet. We had our interview with the finance company and everything was good to go. The day they picked up the the car, they claimed the our employment was incorrect. We work at school districts and we are out for the summer. They said because we are out for the summer we are considered unemployed. Which is absolutely incorrect!!! Now they do not want to return our down payment due to their incompetence! OHHHHHHHHH, but I am getting my damn money back.
I am WARNING you please steer clear of this hell hole!

I purchased my vehicle in March. The sales people got me 0 down in an OK car (not exactly the one I wanted) after getting it checked out my mechanic found several issues including bad tires. They assured me they would fix all issues at no cost to me.
It has been 3 months and I am have a very hard time trying to get the issues solved. They do very little over the phone and they give you the run around.
WARNING… Don’t go unless you have no other option… WARNING!

I just wanna let the entire world know that the service from drive with pride from a great salesman name Emanuel Westphal was very attentive and very concerned that our experience was very comfortable, from the beginning he displayed CONFIDENCE that gave us hope that we made the right decision. During the process Emanuel made sure my pregnant girlfriend was comfortable as well, His honesty was true and accurate. If anyone wants a great experience, a great deal and the car you’ve always wanted please deal with Emanuel at Drive With Pride

The ask for too much money and get upset that other dealers offer better. One dealer name Emmanuel tells me my offer is a joke and would finance the rest. So I bought the same car with just 7000 more miles than the one they have but in better physical condition for a little over 10 000 dollars less than he was offering. I don’t understand why they would think people would pay them more just because they insult you. Saving 10K to me isn’t a joke but hey if they can’t compete then how about not texting my number with trash offers.
Basically don’t waste your time here. Save money go elsewhere. I don’t mind getting told my offer is a joke when at the end of it all I said 10k, so who’s laughing now lmao!
Better luck next time

After searching the web site of drive with pride dealership I requested an appointment to go out and take a look at some vehicles I decided to stop in and take a look at the inventory I met up with a gentleman I refused to give his name but after test driving several vehicles I found one that I was interested in all of my information was given come to find out the salesman that I was dealing with was new to the business so he and I was given the runaround so I’m pricing after seeing a particular price for a vehicle online with monthly payment option that monthly payment option didn’t add up at all in real life I was prize gouged by $ 20,000 for the vehicle that I chose and I decided not to move forward I believe that this was an intentional act on the sales manager and I find it unlawful

Does not even deserve 1 star…
I just drove in to town from 2 hours away to find that the car I had wanted to buy had already been sold. 2 hours ago I spoke with a sales rep from Drive With Pride over the phone to verify a car I wanted was in stock at their location. I should have taken a clue when the sales woman asked if I would come in to see any other cars or if it was only this one in particular I wanted. When I said I wanted the one particular car, she told me the car was indeed available and even verified the stock number with me. I asked her if they could make it worth my time in the price of the car since I was driving in from out of town, we discussed numbers, and came to an agreement. I just drove 2 hours from out of town to this location only to find that the car had been sold several hours before the verification phone call and was told it was my fault for not verifying. They then proceeded to try to sell me a different car. Lied. Bad business. Bait and switch tactic BS

I had a very good experience with this company. I found the car I wanted and got financing through my bank before I ever went there to pick the car up. The actual purchase was very quick — about an hour (if you’ve bought many cars, you know that’s impressive). Unfortunately, I ended up finding a better (for me) car that night when I went home — I am still kicking myself for having missed it in my initial searches. I was very nervous and embarrassed to return their car, but they talk about a 72 hour buyback so I just had to do it. This process was easy and took about 10 minutes and was done. I feel bad — my salesman, Nate, was awesome, but when you’re talking about many thousands of dollars, you’ve got to do what’s right for you. For the record, the car I was going to buy from them was immaculate and the price was low-​normal. As for the dealership, they definitely specialize in low to moderate mileage used near-​luxury and luxury and they probably attract more people that ought to be buying cash cars than financing Caddies. I was glad to be in and out. In the end, I would recommend this place to a friend — ask for Nathaniel :).

Horrible management as well they will send your deal to multiple car lenders screwing up your credit. Horrible place and bad experience. 12÷4÷13
