same old car salesmen sleaziness

Very bs way of getting your information telling you that you’re approved online when in reality that’s just to get you into the dealership for them to jerk you around like the scum car salesmen are. The reviews on here are 100% fabricated and probably left by the car salesmen or the people that work for pushstart. Don’t do this I DO NOT recommend.

Hi Tyler,

We appreciate your feedback. This is not the approach we recommend our dealer partners take and this is not the experience that we want buyers like you to have. Our software securely sends the information you provide to the dealer's CRM directly and applies for financing for you. Our dealer partners have all of your order information in their system so you can quickly and easily pick up your new car.

Please let us know which dealership you had this experience with in a private message so we can help address this.

Best regards.

Another dealer tool to scam you

I filled out all of the information that Drive Motors required via the dealership link. Within minutes of submitting the info, the dealership was calling and emailing for me to come in. That all they were concerned with is when I could come in. I sent in all of the info they asked for and needed through Drive so I’m not sure why I needed to go in. My credit was never even run. Where is all of my personal info?? This is just another tool for dealer to get your info and harass you into coming into the dealership.

Excellent Car Buying Experience

This was such an awesome tool when we purchased our car. It was easy to use and so nice to do it when we had the time and not just when the dealerships were open. I would certainly recommend this company to friends and family.

Loved buying a car through these guys!

I love wasting my not-so-hard earned money on Amazon Prime buying things I don't need, so when I stumbled upon Drive Motors it really made me wonder why buying a car wasn't as straightforward. Hell, the smoothness of the process actually kind of scared me. It's one thing buying copious amounts of hand lotion with same day shipping but a vehicle?

After some wandering thoughts, I pulled the trigger on a Jeep Wrangler which I've wanted ever since I jealously watched the high school love of my life being paraded around in one by her douchebag boyfriend. She's definitely gone off the rails since, so I'm way better off, but its the nostalgia that gets you. I'm not saying I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff; I'm just saying that looking up old friends on Facebook is definitely a confidence boost - and twice that for crushes. With age comes such experiences and with such experiences comes a bedrock of confidence. As such, at my high school reunion I was pretty much the butterfly of a centerpiece having bloomed from the cocoon of a wallflower. Thanks Jeep, high school crush, and Facebook.

Oh yeah, Drive Motors is great. Highly recommend.

Great idea!

You'd be surprised how hard it is to actually buy a new car online. I came across Drive Motors and it took me all of 10 minutes to purchase my car!

Easy and efficient way of finding a car

I really enjoyed using Drive Motors to look for a car. The website is easy to use, looks great, and has all the information I need. Such a cool idea that I can find the car online, and then go get it from the dealership. Definitely recommend this site for anyone looking to get a new car.

A dealership experience you can trust

I bought my new car through Drive Motors and had a great experience. At first, I was a bit skeptical of buying a car online, but they removed all the hassle of having to go to the dealership and dealing with the sales people. I would recommend to friends and family.

Way better than going into the dealership!

Gone are the days of sitting in a dealership for a whole day trying to buy a car. Now anyone can buy a car in *minutes* with Drive Motors. It's easy to research cars online and buy through Drive Motors in just a few clicks. Delivery to my driveway tomorrow? Yes please!
