I didnt put my comments up here to be spell check or correct puncutions this is what happens when boring. People dont have a life they commrnt on a subject that has nothing do with school but for the nosey person who sitting in there underware in front of a computer all day. GO KILL YOUR SELF DID I SPELL THAT CORRECTLY 

It doesn't really matter where you buy your vehicle, the person that owns the vehicle is responsible for the maintenance of the vehicle. If you choose to go to a subprime dealer because you don't have the money to buy your car for cash and you can't get financing from a regular lender, then that's your decision. The decision to purchase it from DriveTime has nothing to do with vehicle maintenance.

If you have a written warranty for the maintenance, then what does your warranty say about the repairs your car needs? If you don't have a warranty that covers the specific issues that need fixing, then it is up to you to fix it at your expense. That is part and parcel of owning a car! If you don't have the money to fix your car, then don't buy one.

I've owned many vehicles for well over 30 years and I have found that if I want the vehicle to run well, I make sure it follows the prescribed maintenance schedule published by the manufacturer. It has nothing to do with the dealer. You can't blame the dealer that sold you the car for your lack of maintenance.

If you are relying on the dealership to maintain your vehicle at their expense, your thought process is misguided. When you buy a car or other vehicle, the owner is the one (that's you) that is reponsible for all maintenance except for the specific items that you may have covered under a written warranty. If you remember that, you won't have future issues. No, I don't work for any dealership at all.

One continuous run-on sentence.  No punctuation.  No capitalization.  Perhaps you should be paying attention in class to your second grade teacher rather than worrying about a car!  I'm impressed!
