NEVER BUY FROM OKCARZ
Purchased at: 2195 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32804.
I worked with Christy who is no longer employed with this dealership. I got my car back in September 8th of 2022, and as of April 12th of 2023 and my engine is blown, this dealership is honestly a joke, I thought I was better off going here due to my credit but in reality the APR rate is insanely high for one, two not realizing dealerships try their best to work with all credit types... anyway with all that being said I've had the car for 7 months, they sold it to me with a damaged axle (which is covered under their warranty if you pay the $200 deductible) their warranty is 24k miles or 2 years, but they forget to include the part where they only service the vehicle near where it was purchased, therefore with that being said I have to get my car towed to them over an hour away from where I reside which is going to cost roughly around $500 for the tow which they don't assist in covering nor are you able to get it fixed near you and get reimbursed, so good luck if your vehicle is undrivable cause your stuck paying the tow and the deductible. Clearly with all this being said I am rightfully stressed, I called the dealership to discuss possible options or figure out alternative plans because within 7 months of having the vehicle my engine blew up, my car is not drivable, I was unaware you don't contact the dealership for warranty questions but still had a few other questions, I called the dealership within an hour of finding out I needed a new motor, AGAIN CLEARLY in distress considering for a 2013 model vehicle that I am making payments on which mainly go to interest... and having the car for 7 months just for this to happen.. lovely right? spoke with a man and unfortunately I did not catch his name... but he LITERALLY hung up on me, I wasn't cursing, I wasn't belligerent, nor was I disrespectful, just a young woman in distress with no form of transportation!!! I called back and spoke with Antonio, he was kind and helpful and reassured he was going to speak with whoever about how they handled the call... but working at a WELL KNOWN dealership myself, I've learned quite a bit. If you want to get mistreated and be without a car after purchasing a vehicle within not even a year then this is the dealership for you :) Honestly, I had to get a co-signer anyway to get a vehicle here, so I was better off going to a legitimate dealership. ALSO, the company that they use to finance is a joke as well, you CAN'T refinance your car with the company they partner with. They DO NOT offer gap insurance, they can offer your their insurance which if you have COMP+COLLISION with them (which ultimately you pay more having basic coverage through your insurance company and comp+collision through them) (I was assured it was cheaper which clearly it's not, removing it saved me 50-100 monthly) and your car gets totaled, you can purchase another vehicle through them with $500 down AND your previous owed balance ON TOP of what your going to finance. OK CARZ states its $500 down but it's only for select vehicles, not all types of vehicles. I just absolutely do not recommend this company WHATS SO EVER!!! You end up screwing yourself from all possible angles. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope this assists with your search, I recommend you DEFINITELY look elsewhere!
-Forgot to mention the clear coat also started coming off my car about 1-2 months after purchasing!
Bottom line is Okcarz deal with Mid-Florida Financial. Mid-Florida is going to put interest on your used car that’ll double its worth so you’re upside down thousands leaving Okcarz lot - seen from another review, I second this!!!!! THIS IS VERY TRUE, you do end up leaving the dealership upside down THOUSANDS
