Drive Appeal Anoka

I have left a poor review from a terrible experience at drive appeal in Anoka mn. When I bought the car I got the ultimate warranty. I have a check engine light on i called the mechanic shop of drive appeal.the sales man I bought the car from and had a terrible experience with called me and said sense you left a bad review we opt not to work on your vehicle here any more. Wow didn't know the sales man could make that decision. Word to the wise dont go to Anoka drive appeal. Stay away from a sales man named steve . He's a drama queen. Believe me I had to listen to his life story when doing the paper work. Stay away.

I bought a 27K Ford 350 to haul my horses. I left the dealership and before I got home there was an engine light on. They had cleared the code. That was $1700 to fix. I then took my truck in for the gooseneck hitch, when they pulled off the bed liner they were shocked at what they found! Haha the liner was brand new so that was their fix. The bed is rotted with holes and rust. I was totally ripped off!

Wanted to get more info on a truck, and hopefully a few pictures because none is shown on their site. I was told in a brief sentence "it's out getting detailed". Nothing more than that, and NO ambition to even try to make a sale! They lost out, but looking at all the reviews everywhere with this place, sounds like I avoided making a mistake even trying to look at a truck.

The salesperson was extremely helpful and gave us the opportunity to test drive the car which helped us decide to purchase it.

Stay as far away from here and Joe Hall as possible. 5 months after buying a hybrid from him, the battery is dead and costs three times the amount of the cars worth to fix it. Go to a certified dealership, Drive appeal and Joe Hall are.not.worth.it. We made the mistake and hope you don’t! Reported to FTC & MN AG. Thanks for nothing Joe!

DONT waste time... as many have mentioned they clear codes. also been waiting for a title for a year. call to the dealer title department gets you VM with no return calls.

Be careful -- be prepared. This dealer's ad descriptions for many of their vehicles are misleading. They either have inaccurate mileage listed or they reference "Carfax one owner" when the car had multiple owners. I have pointed this out on a number of their listings and they refuse to correct it. Just be careful - know what to expect when you get there.

Horrible, didn’t even drive my vehicle a week and major issues! Don’t ever buy from these crooks, very sad that they take advantage of a young family already struggling.

Don’t even bother. 1/2 the cars on the lot have had the codes cleared. Over 3g in repairs already. Sales man stated no warranty what so ever. If you feel you HAVE to buy a car from this place bring a code reader and know as soon as it’s off the lot it’s your problem. NEVER AGAIN...not even worthy of the 1 star I was forced to give for the review

Put in an application and waited a day and half for a call and later that afternoon I received an email that said " was unable to obtain bank financing " no explenation as to why or possiably a co- signer or adding my husband .. Joe Hall was the worst for follow up and communication and whats more sad is that hes the manager .. I emailed him back asking why ? And what about in house financing and again no responce..
