DriveTime Automotive Group Inc., based in Phoenix, Arizona, is a used car dealership network and automobile finance company focusing on buyers with credit issues. The company has 128 dealerships in 21 U.S. States, and more than 3,500 employees. DriveTime has sold more than 650,000 cars and lent in excess of $3 billion.〔 ==Philosophy== In 2004, chairman and CEO Ray Fidel said DriveTime intends to treat customers with financial problems the same as customers at premium auto dealers.〔 That same year, the company introduced Rate Advantage, allowing buyers to get a lower interest rate with a higher down payment. The rate could be as low as 8.99 percent, with 20 percent being average for the industry. DriveTime buys most of its cars at auction houses. Its cars tend to be five years old with 65,000 to 95,000 miles; many of them were leased.〔 Prior to 2004, the typical DriveTime car was twice as old with 80,000 miles.〔 In 2009, DriveTime introduced their DriveCare package, which provides customers with benefits that other "Buy Here, Pay Here" dealerships do not usually offer. The program is sold into the price of all vehicles, including a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty, complimentary oil changes, 24/7 roadside assistance, along with a car history report and pre-purchase vehicle inspection. In 2013, DriveTime amended their DriveCare package and outsourced to Aeverex for warranty claims. The new warranty includes a 5-year/50,000 mile warranty.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「drivetime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
