Lokey Used Car Center
Ipoff Very questionable financing

OK, So I don't have the best of credit. According to the salesman Joe, 'been doing this 20 plus years, I can get you financed with no problem' he lied through his teeth, that was the first of many to come. I test drove a 2003 Saturn Iron, loved it. Went to do the paperwork and ran into a 'little problem'. My credit. Ended up signing papers and taking the car home. Didn't hear from the car lot all week.

Finally get a call 6 days later.'Can you come by so we can finish up the paper work?' Well, I'm no dummy. I can figure out this one, the check never went through my bank. I go and they tell me that there is a problem with the finance company.

So I either have to put a 'little more money down', like $3500 or find a car that isn't as much. I find a car that is about $4000 less and the same thing. I drive it for a week and get a call. This time they want another $1000 down and after all the BS that Summit Financial was going to add to the loan, (@21.95%) I was going to have to pay back almost $14000 for a $7000 car. I told Joe to forget it, he takes my file walks into the other room, then goes to find the accounts manager.

After waiting about 10 minutes while he and his buddies are out B.S.ing I walk into the office, find my file take back my checks and the registration to my car and leave. The finance manager called about an hour later, I'm guessing that they finally remembered I was there, told me I can get a car, but a little less expensive. I said No and that was the last of it.

The bottom line here is I think it's pretty crappy when you are lied to from the git go, then strung along, then bold faced lied to. I beleive that they were so set on making the old mighty dollar that they forgot that we customers are the ones that make or break them.

I just want to say, if you are looking for an honest used car salesman, there isn't one at Lokey. And lets not forget the finance manager Roman that was very good at stringing me along too. I don't think that one could have do it without the other.

Oh yes, let's not foget that after looking at their web site, they were going to sell the cars to me for about $2000 more than they were advertised for.
Just makes ya stop and think!
