Gateway Oldsmobile Rip-off Car Scam Artist Business (DO NOT USE THEM) Chicago Illinois
If at all possible, DO NOT do business with this company. They will take advantage of people who have bad credit or who have good credit and just don't know much about cars and deals.
They had a finance company that was located at their establishment the day that we were looking at cars. My sister supposedly didn't have enough credit to get a car on her own so they wanted me to cosign. They claimed that they have 20+ lenders that they try to get you approved through, when in all actuality, they are only going to get you approved through the lender that they have at their location because by doing that, they can get a check that same day from that lender.
Thus, it would be harder for you to return a car later. I have come to realize through it all that they are nothing but scam artists. They will tell you to say things to the lender that is not true. That is so that they can get away with their scam, and if you say those things, you are going to be responsible for the loan of that car whether you were "told" to lie or not.
Please don't fall into the trap that so many others have. I really wish that more people could get education on how to make big decisions, such as buying a car, b/c not everyone has access to the internet to do the research that they need. I am sure that they are not the only company that pulls scams like this, but they are the one who I have encountered and would like to report.
Check out sites like this to check on the status of a car b/f you buy it. Just b/c you have bad credit or bankruptcy does not mean that you have to take anything that people are willing to give you. Know your rights and you can save yourself a lot of time and money.
