Bought a Yukon from Mike at drive appeal 2 weeks ago. On way home check engine light comes on I text him he says don’t worry it’s got good warranty the 3 thousand miles or 3 months through Allstate is great. Took to shop and the side detection system failed, no coolant for the AC , and 4 injectors out. I paid 28000 for a car I can’t drive. I called Mike asking for the owner’s information and he hangs up on me. Not a good guy or dealership to deal with. DONT BUY FROM THEMReview from Casey N

Vehicle purchased 12/10/22 with a warranty - mechanical breakdown within 92 days - claims for repair DENIED warranty does not cover pre-existing conditions - Drive Appeal does not acknowledge any wrong doing selling a vehicle that within 90 days of purchase is determined that at my expense the problem was pre-existing - that was done prior to the sale of the vehicle to me on 12/10/22 - Warranty is no good for any coverage so that was 3, 500 waste of money and now will have no option but to pay the 5,000 I do not have - There is no recourse or help for people that purchase vehicles with problems - I am stuck with a vehicle that does not run creates a hardship to get to work to pay for that vehicle - just want to make sure everyone is aware before purchasing this company does not stand by their productsReview from Mark S

I bought a 2014 Ram in January of 2022, 9 months later I started have problems with what I thought was my front left hub. After brining it to my local auto shop they told me it was not the hub but the transfer case, do to the difference in the size of my tires. When I bought the truck they told me they put new tires on it, they only put new tires on the back and didnt even bother to match them by make. There was almost an inch difference in size of the tires from front to the back, I purchased new tires and that fixed the problem. When I contact Drive Appeal about it they said they would contact to Auto place I brought it to, they never did, they also have not called me back after calling and texting them several times.Review from Jim J

My 19 year old son was in need of a vehicle and found one of interest on their website at the Bloomington location. I could not miss work that day so I sent him there with the understanding that I would co-sign on a loan as he had no credit history. He drove the vehicle and after running his credit, was told he would need a co-signer. I completed the application on-line and once approved, he was told that vehicle had been sold. He was shown another more expensive vehicle that was similar and agreed to purchase that one. I normally finance vehicles through the dealerships as most of the local banks cannot match the rates offered at the dealerships so I figured the interest rate would be somewhat competitive. The rate that Drive Appeal gave us was 2.25% higher than most local published rates and my credit score is well over 800. I realize that we should have done our homework and not been in such a rush - I've done F&I work at a dealership years ago. Just check your options before using their sources and watch the bait and switch - I regret sending my son there on his own.Drive Appeal Response

The credit union publishes rates for their direct-to-members program who qualify for certain discounts on rates such as auto withdrawal, electronic payroll deposits, etc. The indirect program for dealers is a separate program. The rates are not the same, and dealers do make profit from financing vehicles through the indirect program.***************** did question the rate during the process, and the rate was clarified- yes ****%. As ***************** stated, he was an 800 and his son was a 0 with no tradelines. This rate is a reflection of the combination of credit. The loan docs were signed. ***************** also failed to mention that we gave a $2000 discount on the vehicle to make up for the original vehicle being sold. If he wishes to refinance the vehicle, he may do so.Review from Maureka M

I was looking for a preowned vehicle and came across some from Drive Appeal, locations in New Hope, Anoka, etc. However, there are errors in their car descriptions. For example, they list the car's mileage at 81000 miles but the Carfax shows over 300000 miles. When I pointed that out to them, they told me the actual mileage is over 300000. I asked them why the huge error. The manager told me they bought the car at an auction under the impression it had low miles. Well, that doesn't excuse them for perpetuating the error. They should be listing the mileage of what the car has, not what it was thought to have. I assume they are leaving their posting with the wrong mileage, making suspecting car shoppers think the car has a lot less mileage than it actually does. This helps the dealer drive traffic, get better price ratings on their advertisements on other sites (cars.com, cargurus.com). I have also looked at other listings they have and many of them mention Carfax One Owner cars. If you look at the Carfax, though, they are not one owners. Now, I know car listings can be wrong, but when you point it out to the dealership they should correct it. This dealership refuses to do that. I advise caution to other car shoppers, because when a dealership does this, you wonder what else they do that is not ethical.Review from Ryan J.

Sold me a worthless warranty on a 20k junk car. Did not help me as a buyer. Place should be shut down.Review from M. B.

I bought a second vehicle from them, and noticed the gps wasn't working and the front end shook. One of the salesmen said the car just needed a nav disc and new brakes. Upon further inspection they determined it wasn't the nav disc. They had the vehicle for 3 days and returned it with the same shake in the front end.They gave me a promise to repair both issues and now say they won't fix the gps. The vehicle was advertised as having gps. At the signing they represented they'd take care of it all, and now they say "it's an old vehicle". I've even referred someone to them who bought a vehicle. You'd think they would appreciate my loyalty and keep their word.
