The car selection and the salesperson (DeMeon) were wonderful, but I am disappointed by 2 aspects of the process after I decided to purchase a vehicle.

I had prearranged with a local garage to bring in the car for an inspection, but the DriversSelect manager would not allow me to do so. After the purchase, I did take the car to a mechanic, who identified the car had been in an accident, although the CarFax report showed "clean". DriversSelect said they did a ~300-point inspection, but apparently, they missed that little detail.

I had prearranged financing through my credit union, but DriversSelect said I had to use their financing, which was 1.5 pts higher than my Credit Union. The Finance manager explained that using their financing allowed them to keep the (advertised) price of the car lower. The net result is a $750 surcharge, when calculating the present value of the higher payments.
