Navigating car ownership can be challenging, especially when unexpected vehicle troubles arise. Imagine purchasing a nearly new car, only to face transmission failure within a year and a half. This was my reality. In late 2020, my 2019 vehicle with low mileage suffered its first transmission issue. A brand new transmission was installed, offering temporary relief. However, by late November 2021, with just 48,000 miles on the clock, the transmission failed again! Then, in June 2022, engine failure struck. I was beyond frustrated and ready to give up.
Fortunately, the dealership offered a buyback or trade-in, and by July, I managed to sell the проблемatic car, just covering the loan. However, I was now carless and in desperate need of transportation. My online search began with phrases like “cheap pre-owned cars” and “leasing a vehicle,” when I stumbled upon the concept of Rent To Own Car Programs. Intrigued, I clicked on a link that led me to Drive it Away. The promise of leasing or renting to own a car, with the option to purchase after a year and rental payments contributing to the down payment, seemed almost too good to be true.
Skeptical but hopeful, I explored the Drive it Away website and app. Excitement grew as the concept became clearer. I reached out to the company, only to discover that their service wasn’t yet available in my area. Disappointment set in, but a glimmer of hope remained. Sami from the dealership contacted me, eager to understand my needs and timeframe. He asked, “If I could explore expanding our services to Virginia, would you give me some time?” Absolutely!
It took about a month to iron out the details, but the communication was excellent throughout. Drive it Away specializes in Electric Vehicles (EVs), and Sami managed to get me into a stunning electric blue 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier! The car was in excellent condition, packed with features, and had very low mileage. The convenience is incredible – weekly payments, including insurance, managed directly through the app. The process was simple, with no credit score impact and an affordable down payment. The app even allows me to track my progress towards ownership.
Drive it Away truly delivers on its promise of accessible rent to own car programs. If you’re seeking a cost-effective way to own a newer model vehicle, especially an electric vehicle, while saving on gas and contributing to a greener planet, I wholeheartedly recommend Drive it Away. Reach out to them and mention Tiffany and Evie (my EV’s name!) from Virginia sent you!
