I know it seems weird to review a dealer that I didn't buy a car from, but I had unusual…read morecircumstances, too. Having just been granted disability, I was in the market for a car and wasn't sure if I could get backpay to buy it out-of-pocket. Whoever I worked with (I'm sorry I don't remember a name, but it's been five years) made sure I knew my financing options if I couldn't get my money all at once (no one else was willing to finance me without a cosigner), and when I found out I could, was kind enough to provide the detailed write-up the government wanted. I was able to get a car thanks to Paradise, even though they didn't sell it to me. I'm definitely coming back if something happens to my car--they're the only ones I trust to help me out.

I had a very disappointing experience with Paradise Motors and feel obligated to warn others…read more This dealership presents itself as a "Buy Here Pay Here" operation, which was the main reason I contacted them. However, that was not my experience at all. Instead of offering in-house financing as advertised, they ran my application through an outside lender (Credit Acceptance). On top of that, I was told I would need to put down $5,500 on a vehicle -- which completely defeats the purpose of working with a BHPH dealer in the first place. At no point upfront was it made clear that they rely on third-party financing or require such a large down payment. This felt like a classic bait-and-switch: advertise flexible in-house financing to get customers in the door, then switch to traditional subprime lending with steep requirements. If you are specifically looking for a true Buy Here Pay Here dealership that works directly with customers on financing, I would strongly recommend asking very direct questions before engaging with this business -- or considering other options entirely. Transparency matters, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.

Very disappointed with Motorcars of Lansing. They sold my daughter a vehicle that has already…read morebroken down, leaving her stranded in the middle of an intersection waiting for a tow truck -- and she hasn't even had the car long enough to get plates for it yet. It's still on a temporary tag. To make matters worse, she paid for an extended warranty, only to find out today that it was never even added to her vehicle. She had the car towed back to the dealership, and now they are avoiding her calls. This is completely unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone considering doing business here to think twice before buying from them. better business bureau is next.

I purchased a Jeep Wagoneer from another MotorCarsOnline location on December 8, but management at…read morethis Lansing location became involved when I attempted to resolve the issues that began shortly after the purchase. Unfortunately, the situation has now been ongoing for nearly three months without being fully resolved. Shortly after leaving the dealership and beginning the drive home, the vehicle started displaying electrical warning lights and sensor alerts. The vehicle was also leaking oil due to a loose oil filter that had not been properly tightened. When I contacted the dealership about the warning lights, I was told in writing that they "knew what the issue was" and that they had already spoken with their service department about it. Despite that, the vehicle still required diagnostic work at a Jeep dealership to address the problem. There were also issues regarding the spare key. I was told in writing that the key would go out in that day's mail, but that never actually happened. After several weeks of follow-up it became clear the key had not been mailed. While trying to resolve the missing key issue through this location, a staff member even asked whether I would be willing to sign an NDA before they sent payment for the replacement key, which was surprising given the situation. Another major issue has been the warranty paperwork. The warranty was supposed to reflect commercial use with unlimited mileage and a $100 deductible, since the vehicle was purchased in my company's name and is used for work. However, the warranty was processed incorrectly and has required additional time and effort to correct. I have made multiple attempts to resolve these issues directly with management, including speaking with the general manager, Mark, who informed me that the matter had been placed on Simone to handle. Despite that, I still have not received direct communication from Simone to finalize the remaining warranty correction. At this point, I am simply asking for the vehicle and warranty to reflect the terms originally agreed upon at purchase and for the remaining issues to be resolved. I hope the dealership will reach out so this situation can be resolved before I need to escalate the matter further.

Buyer beware of this shady dealership in Lansing. I'm not fooled too often but they got me and now we have $3K in repairs that need to be done only a month after we took delivery of the vehicle. Do not be taken in by their confidence scam, I really thought we got a good deal and were treated well until we needed them and the warranty company to step up. Avoid GWC Warranty as well! That's all, no tears just major buyer remorse. Time to eat the cost and move on. Hopefully this steers even one would be buyer away from this terrible company!!!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The story…read morestarts a few years ago. Bless my dad for trying to help me but he's got quite a few blind spots and I believe this could have been completely avoided in many different ways. I travel to Michigan 2-4 times a year to visit family. It's very inconvenient for me to have to rent a car every time I'm in town. So what does my dad do? He buys me a car! (Has to be in my name though cuz he doesn't have his license story for a never time) He tells the lady who runs or owns the place that he needs a SAFE vehicle for me and my daughter for when we visit, We did all the paperwork work in house and the amount was 4900. I had no say in picking the car and from the moment we got it I hated it. It was a POS junk car that was extremely rusted and just in terrible condition. Had I been there to have a say in the car, I would have never chosen this car. Back to my dad and his blind spots. Common sense would be to have a special place you save all your receipts for when your making payments on this vehicle but my dads a little special with severely bad ADHD and didn't keep and or misplaced a lot of these receipts. The lady who sold us the car kept telling my dad he needed to pay more even though he had already paid it off. She Claimed the car was 5900 when we both know for a fact that it was 4900. I got to used this car for not even 2 years. The whole underside is rusted out. It cannot be used. Stabilizer bars are rusted out. It's a danger. It's totaled and been sitting since the last payment was made. This Vehicle was returned at least 4 times before they fooled my dad also! We found about the returns after we got it. He put $1500 down. Double payment's 1st 5 months. But they still think it wasn't paid off and repo'd it. Good take it back. It could have killed me! And worse my daughter? You guys got it coming. We're gunna sue you. Ruin my credit will you?? Do NOT use this place. Terrible shady people!!!
