    I was in the process of communication to buy a car same-day and as soon as told him I was in law school he suddenly said the car had just sold (at 7:30pm) then tried to upsell me of course. I told him if that car was still there tomorrow I would sign--because I knew he was lying. I have recorded confirmation of this via phone call to another sales agent, and text confirmation to another prospective client confirming this exact cars availability two days later. Not only did he lie about this, he lied about interest rates, and told me I no longer qualified for the 4.83, but the 5.14% now because I was self-employed... When asked which credit union- no answer. I asked another credit union that stated self-employment plays no part in finance rate qualification (with my strong credit status) This is reportable to consumer protection under borderline, if not complete, fraudulent inducement and misrepresentation since my credit was run with a hard pull, never sent me confirmation regarding the interest rate I qualified for, and misrepresented not only the interest rate, but the car availability. This is not a sales tactic, this is crossing ethical lines.

    I made a massive mistake buying a 2019 BMW 740i from this outfit! I wish I had read all the negative reviews prior to making my purchase. Bought a car & was told it had remaining factory warranty however day after the purchase I learnt the warranty had expired several months ago. When I brought this up to the sales person & ownership, I was told that's my problem & I should have done my due diligence prior to the purchase. Perhaps yes, I should have but never expected such blatant disregard for consumers & such brash display of deceptive trade practices. Considered taking a legal action against them but that might be throwing good money after bad.

    I would like to rate Passport Motors lower than 1 star. It would be a negative zero. The worst car purchase I've made thus far. Based on prior reviews and personal references, I chose Passport Motors with the expectations of a luxury car buying experience. From the moment the car was purchased, the experience was downgraded. I went from buying a like new car to "it's a used car," in the words of the saleswoman, Ariana. The car was transported from Passport Motors to New Orleans, LA. This is not my first luxury and/or out-of-state car purchase, but this was my first and worst experience with a car purchase. When the car arrived, I immediately called sales associate Ariana as the car was coming off the truck to let her know the car's condition did not look like the pictures. The car had several scratches, a chipped windshield, and severe front-end damage (the car wasn't connected properly when transporting - the transporter was also rude and a little rough with the car), amounting in over $3,000 of repairs. In addition, I had to replace the rim and tire upon arrival. It was delivered filthy dirty (didn't even bother to vacuum the interior). I asked to speak to the General Manager about this issue multiple times - Ariana refused to provide direct contact and no voice messages were returned. I have contacted Ariana and the Transportation company via phone and email several times to try and resolve this issue, and no one will respond and/or take responsibility. Therefore, I am left with a huge repair bill that I did not anticipate having when purchasing a luxury vehicle from a notable dealership. More things are falling apart with the car - piece by piece. I hope this review will help the next person purchasing a car from Passport Motors, as I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

    PLEASE READ - SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES I purchased a used, 1 owner 2016 BMW x6m from this dealership on 3/9/2019 for $64,500. I live in Ausitn, but found the vehicle online via autotrader. I contacted the dealership and they told me that they did not actually have the vehicle yet, that it was purchased at auction and was being shipped to Plano, Tx from San Francisco. I already knew I wanted this type of vehicle as I had test driven one locally but it sold before I could buy it. While speaking to Ben I inquired as to the condition of the vehicle. He assured me that the vehicle was in top shape, was a 1 owner car that was a lease return, and that once they received the vehicle they would do what was necessary to get it to tip top shape. I mentioned that I was concerned with any outstanding recalls, the life of the tires/brakes/wheels, the spark plugs, the oil, and the routine maintenance. I was again assured that there would be no issues and that all maintenance would be up to date. I agreed to purchase on this condition and gave a $1k down payment over the phone with an additional $11k that I would pay when I picked the vehicle up. Then, the vehicle did not arrive when he said it would, it was a few days late. I was OK with that. When the vehicle did arrive, I was not notified, I had to call in and confirm if they had the vehicle. Eventually, I made my way to the dealership in Plano, TX. I arrived to find that one of the gentleman who works at the dealership had taken another customer out in the vehicle I had put a down payment on and was letting him test drive it, because of this I could not inspect the vehicle but was again assured all work I requested was done, red flags should have went off. I went to Ben's office, filled out the paperwork. I noticed that the finance terms were not the same as we spoke about on the phone. I asked for a 60 month terms and what Ben had processed was a 66 month terms, albeit the same monthly payment red flags should have went off here. The sales menu that Ben did not send me originally had some extra charges in it. They charged me an additional $691 in fees that were never discussed. There should have been at most 350 in fees for title/registration/documents. This should have been a red flag After I sign the paperwork, maybe 10 minutes goes by and the person who test drove the vehicle is back at the dealership. I go out to look at the car and Ben lets me know I am good to go and mentions he had to replace one of the rims, which was odd because he had the car for about a day and a half, where did he get this new rim in such a short period of time?. I take my time to look around the vehicle and maybe 5 min goes by and Ben comes back and asks if everything is good and to leave, more red flags should have went off. I left and drove straight to Austin, stayed on the same road the entire time. After I got home, I noticed the rear tire, one of the tires that Ben said he replaced, was damaged. The rim has a small divet on the lip and the sidewall of the tire had a bad tear in it. I contacted Ben the next day and he said he didn't know about the issue but it could have been from shipping, which was odd because he was supposed to replace both tires. Ben agreed to pay for the tire to be replaced. I sent an email showing the cost of tire plus install was 422 + 38, Ben sent a check for 411, no idea where that number came from but its not even enough to buy the tire. I then noticed the brakes were squealing, I took the car to the BMW dealership where they said they read brake pads needed replaced and the rotors too. I sent Ben an email discussing this and he referenced the sale was 'as is - no warranty'. I will be taking PassportMotors to Small claims court over these issues. Ben has shown his true colors and does not want to honor our agreement. I went on a limb to trust the man on what he said he would do to make the vehicle ready for me to pick up. He abused my trust and I believe intentionally lied to me to make a sale when he knew I lived 3.5 hours away. This is an absurd way to do a $64,500 deal. this vehicle should be in top shape for that price. I feel that all that was done was I was sold the vehicle in the same condition as it was received from the auction. For such an easy sale, they really screwed up on serious low level of effort to make things right.

The leasing agent I worked with was honestly one of the least communicative people I have ever dealt with. I would respond to her emails or messages and then wait DAYS to receive a response. When I finally did hear back, I still couldn't get clear answers about the actual terms of the approval. I was told that my application had been approved, then asked for a down payment. After that, I was repeatedly told that I needed "more" of a down payment, but no one would clearly explain exactly how much was required or what the actual terms of the approval were. How are you supposed to make an informed financial decision when you can't even get basic information about the deal? What made it even worse was that getting an answer to any of these questions could take days. I work in customer service, so I understand that people get busy and responses aren't always immediate. But communication is one of the most basic parts of doing business, especially when you are dealing with something as significant as financing a vehicle. There is a major difference between being busy and simply failing to communicate with a customer. The entire process felt like a waste of my time. It was poorly communicated, unnecessarily confusing, and left a very bad taste in my mouth regarding Fair Lease as a company. I genuinely hope other customers have a better experience than I did, but based on my experience, I would not recommend Fair Lease.

Long story short I found a car at a different dealership that was hard to find, they were a bit stiff and offered me below value what KBB said I could get for my great condition low mileage car with premium package. The dealer where I was getting the car I wanted (I'll just say it - Audi Plano!?#$% Avoid them at all costs if you want a FAIR deal) they offered me a RIDICULOUSLY below average amount - what KBB suggested. I walked out frustrated and tired physically and mentally. Thank God I noticed Carmax nearby and thought Why Not? I walked in, there was very much a dmv feel to it Lots of people, sitting everywhere, lot's of traffic in and out. There was a monitor with peoples names/appointment times at the front desk. I thought, wow how am I going to get an appraisal on a weekend with all these people? When it was my turn the guy was very nice and said no problem, we can do that for you and he re-directed me to the business window which was nearby. I was still skeptical and cranky given what I had been through at another dealership. Business desk had a lot going on too, but they seemed to be in good spirits with each other and the people who approached them! Complete opposite from previous dealer. I was greeted by Micah (sp?) who was seemed relaxed despite the busyness, she told me how appraisals worked in a matter of fact way, when I hesitantly asked how long all this would take, she quickly said it should be no more than 30 mins with a confident smile. I was still skeptical but refused to give away my car for the measly amount the other dealer offered me. Well, I went to the bathroom, people watched and yeah about 30 mins later, she came back with my appraisal quote! way more than MORE than what the stingy dealer down the street was offering me and ABOVE KBB !! If I didn't want the other car so bad at A/P, I would've gladly told them to touch grass! But unfortunately they had what I needed. I would have felt much better to have bought from Carmax, everyone I encountered there was friendly, professional and got things done in a great amount of time! I want to thank Micah again for being so patient with me and explaining things while I was under great personal stress and timelines as well (death in the family, trade in car papers expiring etc). I sold my beloved car to Carmax in Plano, had a GREAT experience from beginning to end and wanted to let them know I appreciate them being a positive part in such a stressful weekend for me. Thanks again!!!! (SH)

After a bit of hunting around last April, I found a listing on eCarOne's website for a 2022 Model S Palladium, fully loaded with lifetime FSD, as well as a very rare build spec. I decided to give them a shot, and was definitely not left disappointed. I can honestly say this was one of the easiest car-buying experiences I've had, especially making the switch from a Yukon Denali over to a Model S (very uncommon, no?). eCarOne guaranteed to match the trade-in offer of CarMax BEFORE they appraised my trade-in, and furthermore completely matched CarMax's offer (a very generous one, by the way) with no questions asked. The sales department, and my sales representative, Adam, were fantastic to work with from start to finish--professional, completely straightforward, and negotiable. As always, there may be some add-ons, but after some negotiations, eCarOne willingly lowered their non-haggle price just to ensure a smooth and easy sale! (Plus they gave a few extra add-ons included with the price!) Where eCarOne's experience really started to shine, though, was after purchasing. Most places usually leave you with whatever problems the car has. eCarOne did the exact opposite: I noticed the 3rd brake light had started to go out, amidst a couple of other minor issues. eCarOne fully covered the cost of my repairs AFTER I had purchased the vehicle, a bill of $2.4k if I had paid out of pocket. Furthermore, any inconveniences caused by this repair were also covered by their team. I am beyond astonished and impressed at this level of customer service. A few months later and the car is absolutely perfect! If you're looking for a dealership that actually respects your time and their customers, I highly recommend and urge you to look at eCarOne, the sales department, and most importantly Adam and the manager, Michael, for standing behind their cars to the fullest extent. I would absolutely buy from them again, and highly recommend checking their cars out!

    I rarely leave reviews, but after this experience, I feel obligated to warn others…read more When I purchased my vehicle, I was told that even if I purchase the dealership's aftermarket warranty, I could not file a claim for the first 30 days. Naturally, I asked what would happen if something major occurred during that period. My salesperson assured me, and I later confirmed this in writing, that if something significant happened, such as an engine or transmission failure, the dealership would take care of it. Less than ONE HOUR after leaving the dealership, my vehicle broke down. The dashboard lit up with drivetrain and engine faults, leaving me stranded. I immediately called the dealership multiple times and texted the contacts I had been communicating with, but no one responded, despite later being told they were still at the dealership for another hour. I had no choice but to pay out of pocket to have the vehicle towed. The dealership kept my vehicle for about a week before telling me that their mechanic had determined it only needed a "software update." I expressed my concerns because that explanation didn't seem consistent with the issues I experienced. They assured me they had personally driven the vehicle for the previous three days, approximately 30 miles each way, without a single problem after the update without concern. I picked up the vehicle, and just 12 miles from the dealership, it broke down AGAIN with the same issues. At that point, I had it personally towed directly to my local Porsche dealership because I wanted a comprehensive diagnosis rather than another software update. Instead of showing concern, the dealership was upset that I didn't tow it back to them, insisting I should have because their repair supposedly carried a 30-day warranty. I also requested a copy of the diagnostic report from their mechanic. I was repeatedly told it was ready, yet it still took several days to receive it, and blamed me that when I was in person it was there... even though I asked and was not provided it when I was there. Even then, the report was missing fault codes that my own code reader had captured before I first turned the vehicle over to them. The Porsche dealership completed a full inspection and found a substantial number of mechanical issues, repairs totaling well over half the value of the vehicle. That confirmed exactly why I wanted an independent diagnosis instead of another software update. Once presented with those findings, the dealership quickly backed away from their earlier promise to cover major repairs. Rather than honoring what I had been told, they only agreed to refund my down payment and wanted the vehicle returned so they could send it back to auction. That statement alone was incredibly concerning after everything that had happened. To make matters worse, despite the fact that this situation began less than an hour after purchasing the vehicle, they refused to reimburse me for the expenses I incurred trying to resolve a problem that existed from day one. They wouldn't even cover both towing bills or the diagnostic inspection that ultimately revealed the true condition of the vehicle. Buying a car should be exciting.. not stressful, expensive, and full of broken promises. I have never experienced such poor communication, such little accountability, or such disappointing customer service from any dealership. I cannot recommend this dealership to anyone. If you're considering buying a vehicle here, I strongly encourage you to think twice. My experience cost me significant time, money, frustration, stress, and trust. There are plenty of dealerships that stand behind the vehicles they sell and treat their customers with honesty and integrity. Unfortunately, based on my experience, this is not one of them.
