Florida Preferred Auto Sales

Selling cars with no titles you guys are so bad

The only reason its one star is because Google will not allow me to put no stars. It all started with a drive to work down US 19 and I noticed a new dealership that had a vehicle in the lot that I had wanted since a kid. I almost brought myself to buy one while I was enlisted in the Marine Corps but that neither here nor there. I pulled in to inquire about it and I was met by Mark. Seemed like a very straight forward dude just trying to make his living. I should have known something was up when the price for the vehicle changed 2 different times in the same visit. That was my first red flag and questioned him numerous times about it. The 2nd red flag was that somehow my auto deduction kept getting messed up and I had to repeatedly come back to reestablish it. I mean how hard is it really to keep an auto payment going ? Then I get a call during the Covid-19 shut down from Mark that my payment have not been auto drafting. Another red flag, I came in once again to reestablish the auto draft and Mark came up with some insane story that. Apparently, an employee who had been fired took their card machine and that ruined the auto drafting. I have not been late on a bill in 8 years and have a 720 credit score. I paid again and reestablished it again. In the same conversation I explained to Mark I had been furloughed by My job because of the pandemic and we had not reopened yet. He said don't worry anything you can pay I will accept. Under the impression everything is ok, I'm at Applebees and I notice my car getting towed. I was like what in heck is going on here. They had told me to contact Mark. I had called and texted the man for days before he responded. Apparently they had went out of business and my payment was behind. I told him yet again how in the world am I behind when its auto drafted. Once again this man drops the ball and tries to blame it on me and even made me pay the towing Fees. Mark then did a personal contract between him and I to finish paying the car off. I Paid the car off fast, since they opened my office back up, and gave normal hours back. I was over dealing with this man at this point and he should have never been able to obtain a sellers license in the first place. Now after paying off the car, I am closer to 40 days of waiting for the title. Stillll nooooo title to the car I paid for. He wont answer calls or text messages regarding the situation. I called the Florida DMV in Tallahassee, Tampa, and Spring Hill to figure out what I can do regarding this, not only am I not the only dealing with the issues Mark has created, they are aware of him by name and has multiple complaints against him. If I have to I will pursue legal guidance regarding this matter. I am a single father of 3 and squeeze every cent I had during and after the pandemic to pay this off. He doesn't even have the decency to ensure all of his clients get what they paid for. He has cost me extra money, time I will never get back, embarrassment, stress of not making my bills, and aggravation of this whole process. Please do not ever, ever, ever do business with this individual and possibly anyone associated with him. Please be sure anyone who left a good review is not in some way his friends, family, or associates to draw people in. Check the better business bureau, DMV compliance, and you will see the truth.

Don’t get scammed!! They sold me a car with no title! Yes no title. Check their BBB rating it’s horrible! Also check Florida State DMV complaints! Don’t get scammed like I did, go to a reputable car dealer.
