ZERO STARS for being a really nasty person on the phone. I was interested in spending $5000 on a vehicle today (2 newer vehicles matched the profile I was looking at with good mileage) and I had a trade in that he did not even try and discuss with me. He never mentioned if I could do financing or if it was cash only no trades - I was rushed off the first time ever phone call with the fact he would send me directions and I could use my phone to find it rather than responding to my question as to which side of road it was on Lee Road or Edgewater Drive in Orlando - no response just a text message with business name & address and his name. So i looked the dealership reviews up and found 5 out of 5 BAD REVIEWS on yelp and now he's got 6 out of 6 as of today's date because I think if he had anything to say to be objective he brings up ANOTHER person's story that is not listed here with information about a drivers license and keeping the deposit - obviously I told him he should check out his reviews that are public prior to giving me a rebuttal to a story I didn't know about. So that person should have immediately done a review and prevented the heartache for future customers. I called back and asked if this was the SAME person from the reviews I had read and he did rudely tell me he has been in business for 10 years and I shouldn't tell him how to run his business. Well offering advice never told anyone how to be a nice person and learn better customer service skills would be the BEST advice I could give. If the review before mine I don't care WHAT year the review is - if he's been in business 10 years then these reviews OBVIOUSLY match up to the stories that have been told for years. I told him he should respond to the customers who have had issues and blogged about it - it shows integrity for a business to accept their mistakes HEAD ON. When I called back and made sure before making the judgment NOT to go there based on negative reviews online - I called back and he said to get my head checked and my money was not good there - it would not spend well there and he wouldn't want "my kind" of business anyways. 3rd phone call I recorded and will be reporting him to the BBB so that others can get the pleasure of NOT dealing with him anymore. I have not spent money or lost money with this person but if he is rolling back the clocks on the mileage and they do not match the Carfax reports - then that is a crime in itself. He could not deny that he doesn't do that - I asked him directly and he asked who i worked for. I do not know anyone who has ever gone there I am purely someone who answered an ad for a car that was posted as BUY OWNER and found out it was a dealership after calling. read more

Advantage Car Sales - Corner of Lee Road and Edgewater Drive - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange City, Florida

These guys are crooks. The Ford Ranger I bought for 2700 had immediate problems as soon as I drove away. The first mechanic I took it to said it was unsafe to drive, and immediately needed Shocks and brakes for the front and back. Then the battery and alternator. The milage doesn't match the carfax, so it has been rolled back, and now that I'm trying to get it smogged, the check engine lightbulb has been removed to hide the fact that the light is on, so it failed the smog and is 500 to repair. Ive needed to spend more than half of the price of the car repairing it. I was an idiot to go to this place, and to trust these people, do not make the same mistake. read more

Worst dealership. Please save yourself your money and peace of mind and don't come here. My car broke right after I drove from the dealership, and they DID NOT PROVIDE A TITLE, which is illegal. Apparently many issues were causing the car to not start, and spent a lot of money on that. When I called the dealer He didn't offer anything to help. read more

Life Lesson Time: I bought a new used 2007 Volvo 2 weeks ago fro $4000. Looked beautiful in and out. The next day after driving I notice a huge puddle of oil underneath. Had to pay $900 to replace the camshaft seals and timing belt. Yesterday, driving down i4 a belt snapped and bent the engine valves. $5000 immediately gone. Repair cost estimates at $4000 to $5000. Buyer beware here. I strongly advise all not to buy here. read more

I purchased a Jeep Liberty that I saw online, 24 hours ago. I asked if there were any repairs that I need to have done sooner rather than later and I was told "no, everything that was a problem has been repaired already the car is good" I drive the car off the lot and not even 10 miles down the road, the steering wheel locks up and and the car shut off while driving on 434 at noon. It would not start. I called them and nobody answered my call. Two random strangers had to push my car out of the street so I didn't get hit and when they did answer I was told the owner was at an auction and unavailable and would call me back, and if I wanted the car towed to them I would have to do it myself, that was at 1:30pm yesterday. Still have not heard back. Just want people to be aware, this is not somewhere you want to get a car from because they are dishonest and will ignore you. Life lesson learned read more

The guy in charge (Vahid) is natural-born liar. He sold me a manual transmission Nissan Versa 2009 for 2400 dollars which I trusted his word for and did not show a mechanic (mea culpa). When negotiating the price he told me the pricing is reasonable since he's going to reNEW all the tires and get me a new spare tire. He ended up installing used tires in terrible conditions and put a torn spare tire in the trunk (after the money was already paid). But these were not the main lie. While having a ride I noticed unusually high rpm and poor transmission of power and I let him know. He said it's because engine is small and there is nothing wrong with the transmission. Two months after the purchase the clutch failed and I had to spend 1200 dollars fixing it (clutch kit + labor). Upon calling him, he said it's not his problem and I should have spent more money on the purchase and that I got what I got and then started threatening and insulting me. I understand that dealers are not exactly the most honest people but this mother-fucker is a psychopath who doesn't mind lying to your face. He buys cars in the worse conditions (engine-wise and transmission-wise) for almost free, renovates the exterior and the interior and then makes a fortune off selling them to people. Do NOT bother with this dealership. read more

I bought a Volkswagen Passat from Advantage Car Sales and my life has been miserable ever since. This dealership is a bunch of scam artist. All the roomers you hear about used car salesmen are true when it comes to them. It has been one thing after another. First the heat didn't work, and then when I opened the glove box it fell on the floor. I took the car to a mechanic and the list of things wrong would make your mouth drop. The brakes, oil leaks, the shocks and struts, a leak in the coolant, the car was in an accident and the door won't close right etc etc. The wipers keep skipping across the windshield have to still get that fixed. Then I go out to get into my car and I can't open the door. I go to ask the dealer and they said that "the handle just sticks" and that I just need to add some coolant to the car. They say they will fix the glove box next week some time. Well, I can't close my window or I won't even be able to open my front door. I end up getting it fixed for a price of $525.00. They had to take apart the whole door and replace all the broken parts inside the door. Then the next time I drive it. I can't get the key out of the ignition! I am told it's not registering that the car is in park. So when I go to the dealership to get the glove box fixed I try to talk to the owner. He tells me to "...get the f(^% out of his dealership and I'm trying to take advantage of him. This is right in front of customers. I leave being told my glove box is fixed and I'm all set and to never return. I just opened it and it was glued together backwards!! Now it won't even shut it is sitting on the floor. Oh and the alarm keeps going off day and night for no reason! Do not buy a car from there. They do not inspect there cars or fix then and their customer service is insane. I have never left a business crying from being yelled at. I'm out almost 2 grand in bills from mechanics and the car is still in bad shape. Please don't make my mistake!!!!! There is no lemon law for used cars in FL. read more

A car was listed for sale by owner so I didn't know it was a dealer until I got there. I went to look for cars yesterday for my 16 year old son. I found an Eclipse that I liked but wanted my son to see it. He was at work at the time. The owner of the used car lot told me to put a deposit on the car to hold it until I brought my son back. I gave him $1900 in cash. Two hours later I told him my son didn't like the car so I wanted to get the money back or put it towards another car. No paperwork was signed to actually purchase the car. I have a receipt for the money given to him. He said the money was non refundable and non transferable and that he had lost 2 people that had wanted to buy the car. I found that hard to believe because I was the only costumer on the lot the whole time I was there and the car has been for sale since January. He also said that he purchased new tires for the car already even though he told me he would get a price for me. I never authorized him to purchase any tires. I told him that it is illegal for him to keep the money. He said I could sue him but it would take a year in the court system. The statute is 501.976 article 10 states that what he is doing is illegal. read more
