Advantage Auto Sales and Credit

Hi,I am still in shock that I got approved earlier today and am driving the first car I ever had & will own(God willing), once paid off completely lol, but still I really did not think I would drive out of that lot, the same day, first off they were so nice they picked, me and my girls up in a car I was eyeing on there website, and offered me to test drive it back to the lot, then they were such nice hosts they gave us food and drinks and things for the kids to occupy themselves so much they never once said, can we go now, so I like to say Thankyou so much to Josh,and his brother I'm sorry I forgot his name, for picking us up and also like to thank Debra and the other Women in the office in Quakertown for being so nice and Hospitable and kind,even gave me gas money, I'm so thankful to have come to Advantage Auto, going to recommend you to anyone in need of a vehicle, ����☺��������%
All these good reviews are so true, I used to read them days before I went like wow and a little skeptical, but it's all true Advantage Auto is down to earth, and are understanding and will do anything they can to get you approved. Thanks again.����

I am on my 5th car with Advantage Auto, they definitely have a customer for life!!! The Strive for Five referral program is awesome! They are always kind, professional & courteous. They work with you for all your needs from time of sale to loan paid in full.

The nicest most respectful and helpful people... my husband got a car from them and i love it my mom got her car there years ago and thank God its still up and running

I had a pretty bad experience with the car I bought from here. It had starter problems almost right away. I took it to their mechanic because I was under warranty and 4 times he "fixed it", but not really. Even under warranty I had to pay over $400 to get it towed all 4 times. Advantage Auto eventually made it right and paid my bill when I took it to a real mechanic. I was elated when I paid my car off after 2.5 years, but it was dead within 6 months (needed a new engine) so my time without a car payment was short-lived.



For some reason I decided to check their website to see what kind of cars they had. They make you enter your phone number before viewing any cars. This is so they can continually call and text you about buying a car from them. Even after telling them I had found another car, they texted me to ask where I bought it from. Not really any of their business, right? If it wasn't for the harassing calls and texts, I would have never left this feedback.

First, go to their website 'wefianceyou123.com', 'pick' one of the cars they have listed online for this 'experiment'. Go to KBB.com and NADAGuides.com and get a price quote on the car - these are the sites ALL the dealers will tell you to get prices for cars you're looking to buy and sell. After getting your price quotes from those two websites, call Advantage Auto Sales and ask them how much they're selling the car you 'chose' for. Be prepared to be shocked, because their prices are DOUBLE suggested retail.



Yesterday I called about a 2006 Kia Rio they had, they said it had 79,000 miles. Wanted $10,995 for it, checked NADA and KBB and they have the price for this car ranged between $5,000 and $5,500. On top of it, they also use higher interest rates. I understand that they don't run credit checks and that anyone with a pay-stub can go in and get a car, but I don't think it's worth it when you'll end up paying triple a cars' worth at the end of your financing term after paying such a high interest rate on a car priced at double it's worth to start with. The girl I had spoken to said they typically run ay 18% interest and justified it by saying the highest in the region or state was 20%. Doesn't seem that bad when you compare it to credit card interest rates, but, with acceptable credit, a car loan typically is between the 2% and 5% interest range. - This place seems pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I bought a 2002 Buick Rendezvous in January of 2014, during the purchases I was assured many times about how great of a car it was how well maintained it was. I said repeatedly that I was looking for something to last 5 years or more and needed reliability because of my children. I was assured by the sales rep over and over how this was the perfect vehicle to fill that need.



Repairs that have been done since January 2014



Driver Side Window fell down – replaced Power Window Regulator with Motor Driver

Head Gaskets

Manifold Gaskets

Missing Head Bolts

Temperature control Sensor

3 Fan Relays

Radiator

Radiator cooling Fan’s



Roughly $3000 dollars worth of repairs I bought the car in January 2014 its only June 2014 a little much if you ask me. This is not even including the cost of taxi’s , rentals and paying others to drive me places.



And I have a slow leak in the A/C unit so I have to still look for the location and the cause and follow up with this list of repairs



My mechanic could not believe that there were missing head bolts its one of the first things he noticed when he opened the hood – The head gaskets while they had been recently replaced were faulty to start with and should have been never put on – and the same was true for the manifold gaskets.



Doing a simply check on the Radiator would have let any trained mechanic know that there was a major clog in the radiator.



The A/C while it has not been full diagnosed at this time does have a slow leak and I could really get away with filling it back up and it would stay cold as long as I did not use it to often for a while but its still going to leak out and be a waste of time I am still stuck having to repair this.



What’s all this tell you well that car are just stuck on the lot with out any type of check being done on the. That the company is simply interested in getting people in to get there money and not interested in actually selling a car that is reliable. I understand that it is a used car and those always come with problems but they don’t come with problems like this when you buy them from a dealer.



The day that I bought my car I referred a friend hoping to get 1 of the 5 referrals you need and he did eventually go up there to get a car. That very night that he got the car home he had to call the company to come get the car and it had to be towed back to there lot because it broke down that quickly.

Very good experience, the rep was extremely patient and willing to work with me. I will refer friends here for sure if they are in need of a car and in the area.
