I'm writing this review fresh off an infuriating phone call with this business. In February 2014 I bought a 2003 PT Cruiser from SM. It's already an 11 year old car at that time, so I expect to have minor problems here and there. No such luck. Before 6 months, it needed a new radiator and it just went downhill from there. Since then, I've had to pour money (that I DON'T have) into this car's problems, making it very difficult over the last several months to make my car payments on time. You can make your car payment late, but it is $100 MORE if you do, even if it's the day after it's due. While that's mildly understandable, although a bit excessive of a fee, I always call when I can't make the payment and give a date when I think I can make it and usually keep up with that arrangement. If I know I can't, I call and arrange another date which has always been acceptable. My payment is due on the 1rst and the grace period is until the 6th of the month. Well, this car has now been in the care of an auto repair shop for MONTHS and I can't even get it out for ANOTHER month as my portion to pay is over $1,000 (I have no major credit cards and work as a temp), so I called today (8.21.15) to report that I now can't make the payment till next Friday and I'm passed to the manager, who proceeds to tell me that the paperwork for my car is in the stack of repossession paperwork he has on his desk and that now I have to pay a double payment (August AND September) in order to avoid it being repossessed. I was going to put half the balance of what I owe for car repairs down, but I guess that's out of the question now. The owner Mike continues to tell me that it would be picked up TOMORROW - so umm, my question is, who was going to tell me that and WHEN?? They chip the cars, so I guess they would've been able to find out that it's still sitting at a garage and not at my house, but when was anyone going to tell me that - AFTER it'd been picked up, with a thousand of my personal possessions inside??? Then I call back and ask how I would go about obtaining my possessions if that happened and Mike tells me that I'd have to pick them up in Elizabeth, PA AND that there would be a cost for this, amount of which he did not know. Then I asked would I still be responsible for the balance of the loan on this rent to own POS and he says that depends on the condition of the car. Well it's a bit messy but hey it has a new MOTOR now. I got no car fax info or any type of rundown on what problems or repairs the car may have had, and the back seat was torn - something that they blew off. Sure, you can walk in with at least $2K down and there's no credit check, and can drive out the same day with a vehicle - but DON'T GO HERE, do your research, take your time, and go elsewhere. All they care about, especially in the rent to own program - is moving these cars. My former Chrysler ran for 8 YEARS before I had even one QUARTER of the issues I've had with this PT Cruiser. NEVER again will I deal with Southside Motors, and likely never another Chrysler. Lesson learned. read more
