Give Away Auto Sales

I visited the giveaway auto to buy a car , I test drove and the salesman sugessted a reserve fee of 400,I didn, buy sign anything I want my money back
on sunday 2nd I was not told the pyment of 400,00 was not refundable ,I spoke to shoan at the pace ans was promised a refund in the amt of 400.00 and it has yet to reach my bank acct also they have place me on hold to speak to the back office with no response ,,I want my money back on my account, I felt that they have stolen money from me. I paid via debit card chase acct ending in ***.

Ask company to send my payment confirmation email, was hung up on 3 times & noone will send me the email
Since I bought my car in 2016 it was an alright experience (due to me dealing w/credit company instead of them) They bought my contract back from company in Oct, they never notified me that the credit company will no longer be taking my payments I would have to come in or pay online (w/Fee) to make payment, I opted to pay with money orders as that was the only option available that did not have fees. They also moved their Payment office to *** (no notification until I went into sales store to make payment). Ending of December Give away notified me they will now be charging fees for payments made w/money order. I went ahead & started paying online w/4.99 fee, normally I receive an email stating that my payment was posted. On 2/6/18 I made an online payment but I did not receive my confirmation email as I normally would. on 2/8 I started calling company at 8am so I could get the confirmation email (found out later they open at 10am), spoke to a Don who stated the person who handles payment would not be in for another hour & he could not help me then hung up on me. I called back 2 hours later was transferred twice but noone answered the phone, finally got a gentleman who did not state his name (they never do) who transferred me to Victoria as she was in payment dept. Victoria advised me she handles DMV not the payments (another run around), but she took my info down & stated she would get the confirmation email sent to me. 3 hours later still no email I call back & now all of a sudden the managers are all in a meeting & noone can send me the email, by now i'm OVERLY frustrated at the run around i'm getting just to get a confirmation email. Some man got on the phone (again did not identify himself) saying he would send me the email & then blatantly hung up on me! Now i'm on fire I've been hung up on 3 times. he answered & when I told him it was rude to hang up on customers I just wanted verification he was sending the email he hung up on me again. What kind of company treats their customers like this. I would not recommend anyone to buy a car from this company! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

These people are a scam I was late two days on payment and they take car I go pay payment And I refuse to take my money and already to selling car
Give Away Auto refused my payment said they no longer find this to me repossess my car for $240 payment I took down the payment they refused to pay me and tell me if I want to pay cash I could get my car back and he can do what he wants because it's his business and David the boss And I have me every payment since I hate this car the Volvo XC 90. The problem started when they gave me a Xc90 first day financing the vehicle with a transmission stuck in 4 gear I ask for money back the said they was gone fix it an gave me a loaner car and they didn't fix car I still made payments in said couldn't get Money back That I can put more money down on another xc90 newer year so I want loose my money Because they can give refunds

I bought an used NISSAN PATHFINDER 2007 at GIVEAWAY AUTO SALES located at 6400 US 19 HWY N PINELLAS PARK 33781 in 12/18/2017. At the time I was attended by rep TRYONB who was pushing a sale through a credit review when they offered an 'in house? financing program but ran my credit anyways. Afterwards Mr M. was setting my payments when he added 2k to the original unit price and asked for $1,500 Down Payment. Before leaving Tryonb offered me a warranty in case any mechanical issue is presented in the next few days. December 19, 2017 I tried to reach Mr M. since my vehicle was acting a bit weird when driiving but never replied to my emails. December 29 2017 I paid a total of 1,004.99 since at purchase dat I paid $900.00 and on this day I paid the ramaining $600.00 and $400.00 in advanced payment for this unit with confirmation nimber 151 458 041 0881. In January 8 2018 my car broke completely and its not shifting gears at all. I tried getting in contact with MR M. once again but he never replied to my texts even when he read it. January 9 2018 I called Mr M. and he answered the call and after hearing about my issue he stated that he wasnt at the office but that since I was in a warranty period, someone will call me within 15 min. After an hour I called him back and never talked to hom again. Then I called a several times during the day and spoke with MJ, JOHN, ROB and MIKE and all of them promised to call back but never received a call back from them as if they were delaying to resolve my issue. Called again and JOHN explained to me that another vehicle was registered under my name, a MAZDA, and hung up. Called again and MIKE picked up the phone and demanded me to, and I quote 'TOW THE CAR AND TAKE IT TO A GARAGE, WE DONT DO SERVICE HERE, I GOT TO GO'. Nobody has being able to find a solution to my problem. Now I feel like attempting to return the car again.

Run away from this company and their deceptive practice, dishonest business. Had a car online for $4,999.00 I talked to them yesterday and then today right when I got there changed the price to $5,999 and then tried to add $1000 dealer fee. Put the real price on the car is. Rip off.

Tried to charge me twice for "Dealer Fee" of $999.00
Through Suncoast Credit Union I visited True Cars and found a 2015 Mazda Mazda6 Touring, Mileage: ***, and VIN: ***. I received an email from the True Car site with the "True Price" of $13,990 - $500 discount + $999 Dealer Fee = $14,489 plus tax. When I went the next day, they tried to charge me the $999 Dealer Fee on top of the total I was given of $14,489 just the previous evening. I have documentation for all this; I have emails and pictures. The dealer is going to claim they have the right to change the price, but the car is still listed on True Cars with the same price as when I looked it up first. They are playing the "waiting game" so a customer gets impatient, and then they try to charge the "Dealer Fee" again hoping the customer is too agitated and wants to get it over with, and unfortunately they get away with practices of that nature. I feel this is false advertising, which I believe is still illegal.

I suppose I was lucky that the price did not sit right in my subconscious and I walked away, but I wonder how many other people fall prey to this tactic! I am also pretty sure this is a widespread practice among dealers, but I do not have proof of any other ones at this time.

Price was to high from what the staited
Can't make the payments
I went to this place an it seems to be a good idea but not until I saw the change of price got scared an just give them the down payment which it was 2000 yesterday didn't not sign anything just to check if il get approved an I was approved nothing else after that fill out the reference sheet an went back home but taking to my wife an having a new child just realize it was to much for me so I text *** last night to tell him to reverse that cause I haven't sign nothing just have a receive for the $2060.00 wich I paid with my debit card transaction XXXXXX,$2060.00 on November XX XXXX at 6:52pm reference #XXXXXXXXXXXX auth#XXXXXX from give away auto sale llc address in XXXX XXth st n Pinellas park fl XXXXX. Talk to *** as I said last night an he said oh you not calculating the tax,tittle,tag I said to him I'm sorry but I need my deposit back an my jetta title cause I did a trade in for a Mercedes cXXX XXXX an they kept my old car title to be able to purchase the new one with the down payment of 2060.00 im.just scared right now cause I just wanna get my down payment back please ..

Sold me a Lemon knowingly and I found out the day of purchase but they ignored my complaints until to late to return
I'd like to share my experience with this dealership I saw an ad on offer up for a 2003 Cadillac CTS so I contacted the sales rep via offer up and asked many questions about the car being I have two young kids I didn't want to be stranded with if it were a lemon, so anyway the sales rep insured me the vehicle was in great condition and was all up to date on maintenance so that was good so I went out to test drive the car first 5min of test drive the check engine light came on so I pretty much didn't want it at that point but dealer said why don't you take it up the road and get a advanced auto diagnostic test so I did it came back as an 02sensor well that's not going to break my pocket too bad so I went ahead and bought it but then on the 25 mile ride home I had message come across the screen saying no oil pressure stop car so I did and later took to a shop mechanic said the oil pump is going bad and there's gaskets leaking wow all together reaching 2700 dollars in repairs I sense have been trying to reach them and heard nothing and this was just Saturday the 29th of July, and to top it off I opened the trunk to take a look again I saw a gallon of oil hmmmm I think they knew what was going on here so think twice about your purchase, then when I did finally get a hold of someone 6 days after purchase, and several messages later they told me not to trust the mechanic at jiffy lube because they lie and only thing they wanted to do to help is offered me there mechanic in which I would still need to pay all
