DRIVETIME DRIVETIME TRUCK ENGINE DOWN WITHIN 2 DAYS OF PURCHASE! WARRANTY SCAM Internet, Internet

 I was wondering how did it go as far your situation is concerned, if has not been resolved please join me. I trying to start an class action lawsuit against this company I'm currently in contact with the attorney general, and trying to find an lawyer to help the lawsuit.

If you guys want to be the leaders in the subprime dealership sector then the ONLY thing to learn is to quit SELLING JUNK!  We all know how you and other dealerships in that sector of the business get screwed by subprime customers.  That's a "given" in that aspect of the business.  However, prime or subprime, a customer expects to be buying a car which will provide some level of decent operation instead of the CONTINUAL REPORTS of worn out, high mileage, tired junk cars which have a very limited service life! Your store is NOT the only store this has happened with.  The reports are NATION WIDE!  Apparently your chain promotes three day, right of return policy because you all know the likelihood is the car won't last three days!

So tell us...

What policy changes will be made to ensure a customer is getting a car which will actually last?

What policy changes will you undertake to weed out the junk on your lot which should be taken to the salvage yard rather than sold to a customer as a "car"?

What more is there to learn when the vast majority of reports show the chain's reputation for selling junk?

It sounds like these folks held up there end and there are no guarantees that a new car isn't going to brake down.It's what they do about it that counts,what they did for you is practically unheard of.I would be thrilled to deal with people like that.

God Bless all.

You would have been screwed at most car dealers, as they do not offer you 3 days to get out of the deal.    You were actually lucky to have bought this lemon at DT.

Since you will probably be going somewhere else to buy a used car, I strongly urge you to have any prospective purchase checked out by an independent mechanic BEFORE you sign on the dotted line.    It is the only real way to protect your interests.    Third party warranties are generally not worth the paper they're printed on, so don't rely on them as a substitute for doing your due dilligence.

When you sign the paperwork on a used car that says you're buying "as is", any problems after the sale become your problem.  That alone should be reason enough to get it checked out before you buy.
