The problem is that the report states that the vehicle was not involved in any accident, I have a report that states that it was involved in an accident which I will be forwarding a copy to Drive Time in the next few days

I totally understand that there will be wear and tear on the vehicle, that is not the problem, the problem is I have had the car less then a year and all these problems have come up and the fact that my tire almost fell off the vehicle with my young children in the car, I have also been sending email and calling DriveTime for over months to ask for assistance with this and the only time they respond is when I took my problem to a public forum and then to the Revdex.com, why does it take for me to go through all this for them to finally respond, sounds like they are guilty to me, otherwise they would have responded to my very first email months ago, or the one I sent months ago or the one I sent months ago, or maybe they could have responded to the calls I made to them about the problems with the vehicle, instead I had to take my problem with the car to facebook, then to other social media sites and complaint boards and finally the Revdex.com for DriveTime to respond, this company is a sham, they should not be allowed to sell a car for $16,that is only worth $2,500, they should not be allowed to sell cars that are faulty like mine and the thousands of other customers that I see have complained, this company should not be allowed to do business at allI took this car into Midas to find out what was wrong and Midas comes back with a $1,repair quote, when I presented that to DriveTime they said they would pay $of the labor and I would pay $for the parts, when I asked how they came up with a total bill of $compared to my quote at the same repair facility they went through, my cost was $1,297,
