this company is a joke - I inquired regarding a refinance - I have received numerous calls regarding my pre-approval to purchase a new car??? this is a total violation of FTC lending rules / and it is highly illegal I tried calling them to ask them to remove me so I can stop the phone calls and the unauthorized inquiries on my credit report i ALSO ASKED FOR CONTACT TO THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT- i was sent numerous emails with the same information regarding financing a new car??? this company is in violation of Lending Laws

I spent a lot of time on carsdirect.com selecting cars and options I wanted. I got really great target prices. However, I received so many calls and emails from dealers asking what I wanted and giving me prices way above what carsdirect.com listed. I called carsdirect.com to complain and ask if they sent these companies the information I gave them. I was told that it was just a referral service and a price to try to negotiate for the cars. They did not give the dealers all the information I had given them. It was just a waste of my time! I could have just called the dealer and requested the internet sales and gotten more information and not wasted all that time.

When you apply on cars direct they send your information out to dealers and allow them to run as many hard credit inquiries as they wish. Lowering your credit score. It happened to me. Peak kia in littleton, with the permission of cars direct did 3 hard credit inquiries on my credit report and lowered my credit score by around 30 points. And when I call them to complain they say they aren't responsible even though they are the ones giving your info away.

Lead you to believe that you can find a great least deal online and buy it online. But you fill out a form with all you information then your inbox and phone blow up. You never get a lease price.

Found the exact car I wanted on the cars direct locator, got a call from a girl on the east coast saying I'm a proved and what lot to go to, it was an hour and a half away. The car was not there but the dealership said it is on one of the 3 lots, so we did loan paperwork and everything was good exept they could not find the car.....anywhere.....not even on the sold list for the past year. Then...the expected, we can put you in this...or maybe this. I left, later the girl calls me again I tell her everything went well but the car vanished. She never did call me back like she said she would...bait and switch

Bogus claims. It's the same thing as walking straightforward into a car dealership. Nothing special. If you don't have what they're looking for you won't get what you're looking for just like a car dealership. All they do is shop your application around for a loan....LIKE A REGULAR DEALERSHIP.
