Nice Cars Dealership, for Good People

Nice Cars is a car dealership operating in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama that boasts Christian principals. They offer good cars to good people with typically little to no down payment. Sounds like a great deal right? Almost, but do not get too excited. The company you would think would be wonderful to work with since they are based upon Christian principals, however they are the most untrusting and unchristian people I have ever done business with.

Not only are they untrusting and force people to put their car payment before even their rent/mortgage but they require the use of a Passtime device in all cars they sell, which just once again screams, we are Christians, but we do not trust you!! They do tend to have friendly sales staff, however the office staff as well as the staff in the collections department leaves much to be desired as they are not very friendly or Christian based at all.

They have a huge selection of cars, however you can expect to pay at least 2-6 thousand over the blue book value of a vehicle plus add the whopping 24-28 percent interest on top of that astronomical price tag. Makes the vehicles rather expensive. Good news is that insurance is not required to drive off the lot, however must be furnished within two business days. Other good point is full coverage is not required, only the state minimum is what they require, so your only looking at 400-700 a month for a used vehicle that has approximately 70,000 miles on it, if not much more. Most of their vehicles are approximately 5 to 10 years old, which adds to the damage of the large price tags and huge interest.

They claim in their advertisements and at the office locations that a CarFAX report of your vehicle is available upon purchase, however upon asking for my copy of the report for the vehicle I recently purchased I kept getting the runaround on actually receiving that, which makes me think that it’s just a claim not something they actually back up.

I would have to say that overall it’s not a good company to be involved with, I had to call and make arrangements to pay one payment 2 days late, after the last 6 payments had all been very early, and was told they wouldn’t wait. I sat around upset over the pending repossession and finally decided that if they were unwilling to wait 2 days for a payment that I would not do business with them any further. I have since sent the vehicle back and have not been happier. For what I paid as the total down payment for the vehicle purchased from them I could have gotten a brand new vehicle financed through a new car dealership. Which obviously those cars include warranties, as well as much better interest rates and no Passtime devices installed.

I think in the future I will not rush out and car shop, instead I will save my money and deal with companies who are not busy hiding behind a claim of Christian principals in the future.
