Received a mailing piece containing a scratch off game from Thrifty’s Clearwater Dealership. Cash prizes ranging from $100. to $25,000. Local dealership location in the Naples, FL area. Instructions on the address page (next to the scratch off circles) direct you to “scratch off ALL CIRCLES on cards, )”. Match 3 amounts (horz., Verti., diag. etc.), You win! $25000. or a 2011 Impala, $100., or 3 coins (face value $3.00 a piece). Small print inside the mailer advises that to qualify for any of the cash prizes require removing (6) OF (30) scratch off surfaces to reveal winning symbols to claim cash prize. There are only 27 scratch surfaces 27 available. Clearly the intent is providing directions to mislead the unsuspecting so that they disqualify themselves and then travel many miles to be duped. Little good will in play here.
Garbage cars that you end up paying WAYYYYY too much money for after their ridiculous interest rates. I was promised an option to refinance after 6 months of on time payments, was denied refinance after the 6 months and AGAIN after 12 months, after ALL payments had been made not only on time, but a few days early for all of the 12 months! The account reps are rude, they auto-debited an extra payment from my account and when I called to make them aware, they yelled at me and cursed at me and told me “they can take what they want, when they want”. VERY unprofessional group of people, false promises and lies. Right after I bought the car, I took it back because it was making a creaking sound, they said it was the tie-rod and claimed that they had replaced it, yet 2 weeks later, the tie rod broke and they had to fix it again. Took them 4 days to fix and they didn’t offer a replacement car or even apologize for the inconvenience they had caused. All together, bad experience. Definitely would not recomment this dealership to anyone, including my worst enemy!
:)OUR CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE AND FINANCING WAS BEYOND EXCELLENCE.WE WERE GREETED WITH A BIG HONEST SMILE,COURTEOUS SERVICE,AND A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF. I WAS GIVEN A VERY GOOD OFFER ON MY TRADE IN.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND BUYING YOUR NEXT CAR FROM THRIFTY CAR SALES. THANK YOU
its pretty bad when the only good comments that thrifty auto sales gets is from its owne employees lol hahaha you guys are so twisted its sickning especialy ROBERT AND RICHARD holy shit balls they are the worst sales reps i have ever met they work at the thrifty auto sales located at 24639 U.S. Hwy. 19 N. lies after lies after lies cursing yelling just all around pathetic couple of yahoos that have nothing better to do with their time then screw people out of their time and money so anyone who rites things good about this compaNY is most likely employees from that rediculas place to buy cars from thriftyshit sales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This place is truly terrible. I gave them a payment amount I needed to stay under and up until i signed the contract It seemed like they understood my needs. It may of been my mistake as well, actually trusting these people. I ended up paying double the monthly payments as well as over paying for the entire car… The car was priced about 6,000 more than it should have been. I had bad credit when i went in..so thats “why” my payments were so high… So I was PROMISED a 6 month refinance option in my contract… When went in to refinance.. My credit was “too good” for them to handle… This place is nothing but a big scam.. I warn everyone not to ever step foot near this place unless u have bankruptcies, foreclosures, etc etc. and have NO OTHER CHOICE.. also.. I spent 3 WHOLE days there…
Dan Raosi who happens to be the President was down right rude on the phone. My wife and I found a car we were extremely interested in and after being hung up on twice I decided to call another number listed… Thinking the person I was calling was having a bad day. Then I was transferred to Mr. Dan Raosi again who lacked any business etiquette. The first time Mr. Dan Raosi answered the phone he didn’t say a word, the second time he explained how phone conversations are supposed togo. Needless to say I’ll take my business elsewhere as should everyone else. Things happen for reasons and I’m glad Mr. Dan Raosi lacks customer service skills because to think I would’ve bought a car from that place. https://cardealercheck.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif
Having once been an auto salesperson myself I have first hand knowledge of the way things are usually done, Thrifty is unique in their approach of getting to know you before applying any kind of pressure to buy. All the personnel that I met there were equally concerned that I was content with my purchase and follwed up on a regular basis to be sure I was still happy with my purchase.
Very honest and considerate staff that made our car buying an easy hassle free experience. We would recomend Thrifty to anyone in the market for a reliable used car!!
Very honest considerate staff. Thrifty worked with us for credit to get a car and there was no pressure for the deal or down payment. We would recomend Thrifty to anyone looking for a nice used car.
I must say I am very happy with my car. My car is in the best condition that any single person can ask for. Some used dealerships like to take the advantage of females. I got to say NOT Thrifty/Platinum Auto Finance. They are so good in making sure you get the best service ever. I didn’t have the best credit in the world. This dealership believes in second chances. Now my credit rating has gone up since I first walk in those doors. Thank you Thrifty I am forever in your debit. I will always recommend you to EVERYONE.
STAY AWAY from this place!!! They will promise you everything over the phone, and then after driving an hour to get there, they tell you the exact opposite than what they told you!! While I was being tricked, :devil( I looked at their cars. The cars on their web site is false advertising. Every car out there has serious wear and tear on the outside and the inside! Even if my salesman, Phil, was to be a real man and stand by his word, I wouldn’t buy one of those junk cars! VERY UNHAPPY with this sorry excuse of a dealership.:mad:
I feel sorry for people who really have no choice than to have to turn to these people for help in purchasing a vehicle. Their interest rates are outrageous and their business tactics shady, to say the least. Their arrogance rating is definitely the highest rating they would receive. They treat everyone as if they are mentally challenged. Their vehicles are overpriced and they actually PAY people to post positive reviews about them on the internet. They advertise in their showroom for people to post positive reviews online in exchange for money. They smoke cigarettes while talking with customers on the lot and are basically a sleazy group of individuals preying on people who are struggling financially. I am so thankful for not being in a position to have no alternative other than to do business with these people. How unfortunate for them on the day they have to answer for how they have treated others. Bo even has the audacity to say “God Bless” on their internet advertisement. God Bless the people who fall into the hands of these crooks. I wouldn’t recommend Thrifty Car Sales in Clearwater to anyone, but will not hesitate to tell everyone I come into contact with to STAY AWAY from this dealership and to share with them my personal experience.
🙂 I recently purchased a car from Thrifty Car Sales & Service. I am satisfied
with the car. The people who served me were courtious and very helpfull. There was no pressure, and when it came time to buy everything moved along quite smoothly. I recommend to anyone wanting to buy a car with less than perfect credit go to Thrifty and check out what they have for sale.
MY WIFE AND I WENT IN HOPING TO GET A GREAT TRADE-IN FOR HER 05′ SEBRING AND DROVE OUT WITH A 350Z CONVERTIBLE AND A F-150 LARIAT
I WAS AMAZED THAT THEY GOT THE DEAL DONE AT A PAYMENT PLAN WE COULD LIVE WITH.
Thrifty was wonderful and very helpful I will be going there for my next vehicle and will recommend family and friends. they dont waste your time like other dealerships . they are honest we are very happy with our car !
WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS – This deceitful company pays customers to write positive reviews! Don’t fall for the lies! I don’t know how these low-life scumbags sleep at night! Be prepared……there is no communication between staff so document everything. My crap-box-on-wheels hardly made it through 3 months without falling apart. I was promised that the vehicle was never in an accident…..they kept making excuses for not giving me the carfax. Finally, I purchased the report on my own and found out that they’re either a bunch of idiots, or a bunch of liars and thieves. I tend to believe the latter. They even have their staff writing these false reviews! What losers!!!! They think bad credit is what constitutes a loser???? Wrong!!! It’s working for Thrifty and taking advantage of people that makes one a loser! Burn in Hell, jerks! :devil(
I should have started at Thrifty Auto Sales. I wasted a month at other dealers being denied credit. Upon one visit I was approved financing and found a car that I love!
they greet you with a smile and the saleman was very helpful and eager to answer any question i had I would just like to thank them for the great service.
The Thrifty team got me the financing I needed to drive away in a great car. I would recommend them to my friends.
During the time I got my remote access key I enjoyed being in the Thrifty Car Sales facility; it had airconditionin, beverages, clean restrooms, televison (which had the world cup on), comfortable couches, carring employees, suitable decorum, just to list a few. My Thrifty experience was definelty a thrilling one. I would definelty recommend Thrifty Car Sales to anyone who is looking for a long lasting car with people who are willing to help you out so the customer comes first.
I SENT MY CAR TO THRIFTYS THEY CLAIM TO GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT IF YOU BROUGHT YOU CAR FROM THEM THEY GAVE ME A HIGH PRICE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BMW COST LESS GO FIGUAR WHEN I GAVE THEM BMW’S PRICE THEY AGREED TO LOWER THERE’S TO MAKE ALONG STORY SHORT THEY TOOK MY CAR APART COULD NOT PUT IT BACK TOGETHER TOOK MY CAR TO BMW NOW THIS 11 DAY CIRCUS NO ONE WOULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR , BRIAN WAS VERY NASTY EVERYTIME I WOULD CALL TO CHECK….. I HAD TO RIDE ALL THE WAY TO ST PETE TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR SO LONG… I WOULD NEVER EVER TAKE MY CAR TO THEM AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 697 WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP I GOT A BILL OF 1,196 WOW WERE DID THAT COME FROM I GUESS IT THERE XMAS BONUS WHAT A HOLES:devil(
I am so happy with my recent purchase! I couldn’t have asked for a better sales person. Bo answered every one of my questions and took the time to show me all the features of the car. It takes a lot to impress me and I was really impressed. I have already recommended Thrifty to all my family members!
Excellent transaction.Salesman was very courteous and professional.;)
Bo was very knowledgeable and there was NO pressure to buy anything. I will tell all my friends to shop Thrifty Car Sales at Clearwaters!:p
My salesman Bo is a very cool, calm, and collected individual who excels in his area of expertise. He was very friendly, non-threatening, knowledgeable, honest, and flexible. He went up and beyond the call of duty to get me into a car. He really worked hard for me and made it possible to get me financed into a new ride. Bo is a straight-up person with straight-up answers. If he can’t answer your question upon the initial asking, he will definitely do the research before giving you an answer and that’s what I liked most about him. You can’t go wrong with this dealership.
Overall it was a great experience and I was able to purchase a car at a great price. I would recommend this dealership to friends and family. I plan to purchase from this dealership again in the future.
😀
I really like the people there, they seem to give me the facts straight up and I didn’t detect a bias in my conversation with them. Maybe it was because business was good during this time… but I didn’t feel to much pressure to make a choice and the experience was good — for car buying. This is my third car and so far they were the best dealer I have ever been to. Just my small humble opinion.
You can’t go wrong with this dealership.
:p
They made the experience pleasant. The finance manager was friendly and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I was able to purchase a car at a great price. I would recommend this dealership to friends and family. I plan to purchase from this dealership again in the future.
😀
Every staff member we dealt with made our car buying experience pleasant and smooth. The receptionist, made sure we were taken care of. Bo Rosaoi, our salesman, worked with us and answered all our questions. And his brother, the finance manager, made the worse part of the process very easy and painless…Thanks again!
I financed a car from Thrifty Car Sales. Me and my husband were first time car buyers. This was the only place that approved us ! Other dealerships wanted a down payment that we didn’t have. We didn’t put any money down with Thrifty and we were still approved. The associates were honest about our payments and what they would be. I liked that. I would definitely come back and refer friends to Thrifty.
Wow what an experience! I had been to other car places earlier in the day that did not work out, and a friend recommended them. From the moment I walked in they took a stressful experience and actually made it enjoyable and fun! Great staff that was very professional and upbeat! I got a beautiful car and was out the door very fast! I would Highly recommend Thrifty!
This was my second time shopping for a vehicle at Thrifty. The entire staff is great. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, and courteous. We got top value for our trade in, and walked away with a wonderful vehicle for a great price! They have a very good selection of vehicles and they will get you in and out of there a happy customer for sure. They don’t pressure you into anything that your not interested in. Their main priority is that you leave happy. I would highly recommend Thrifty to anybody.
Great no haggle auto Purchase. Thanks again Phil, Dan and Bo.:)
It was the best experience I have ever had shopping for a car:D
Surprizingly low preassure sales. Had the car I was shopping for. Came in a little higher then I wanted but then my credit is below parr and all other places pointed me to the door. Bought and drove away within 5 hours. Thanks guys…my son is very happy with his first vehicle.
🙂
Sorry for all the 3-stars. The only 3-star should be “Pricing”. I gave 5 stars to all other topics. When the page faulted out because I had not “titled” it, the ratings must have reset and I did not catch the change.
I finally got financed by a car dealer and my experience is great. I love my vehicle.
Got financed with a car that had low mileage and in good condition everything works fine
thanks everyone there

TERRIBLE, I’m surprised these clowns can dress themselves in the morning….. I applied online and was emailed and called that i was approved. I went in on Mon. and sat for five hours, they stated it would be a few minutes. I then went back Tues. night and sat for another 3 hours (all of this is after they said i was approved) and waited another 3 hours before walking out after they helped 5 people in front of me. I called and left multiple messages, never with any replies? These are con men and want nothing more then their 8.00 an hour….

My complete experience with Thrifty Car Sales was amazing – they treated me with the utmost respect and did everything they could to get me into the car I wanted. They took time to get to know me and my family and not just my credit score they understood that bad things can and do happen to good people and in this economy we (everyone) is just trying to do the best we can to take care of our families. I highly recommend purchasing your next vehicle from Dan and Bo even you have perfect credit – respect and care outweighs any big high pressure car dealership!
I am still in the process of purchasing a car with auto financing. They were very helpful and had a special program for youth like me. I have no credit, just recently started working my first job and yet they were able to assist me. 🙂
I highly recommend this dealership to anyone. I was a first time buyer and I got an awesome deal, a very low down, and very reasonable monthly payments! Everyone there is very funny and helpful. Its a wonderful environment. They have a big selection of cars at reasonable prices with a good warranty! I feel like I have nothing to worry about, and that I am in good hands!
VERY FUNNY?????? MUST BE THE MONEY THEY PAID YOU…. MORE LIKE FUNNY LOOKING! THESE JOKES ARE A RIP-OFF, AND SORRY BUT YOU PROBABLY GOT A HACK VEHICLE AND WERE WAY OVERCHARGED……..
My service at Thrifty Car Sales was good, they helped me with my financing and getting into a car that met my needs and was with in my price range. Everyone there was friendly helpful.;)
REALLY… I DIDN’T SEE BO DO A DAMN THING THE ENTIRE 3 DAYS I WAS THERE FOR A TOTAL OF 7+ HOURS… IF YOU ASK ME BO DON’T KNOW HIS HEAD FROM HIS TOE…AND THE CHIP THEY ALL CARRY ON THEIR SHOULDER??? IM SURPRISED THOSE *AT A**ES CAN WALK STRAIGHT WITH IT THERE…….. THESE GUYS ARE JOKES BE WARNED.
Thanks to everyone at Thrifty we have the vehicle that we wanted with tons of room. They stayed with the monthly payment I asked for. We are happy to have done business with them. I would recommend if you are looking for a vehicle and no pressure from sales peol this is the place to go.
Thank you,
The Hudson’s
SCAM OF A THRIFT STORE WANNA-BE DEALERSHIP…

MOST UNPROFESSIONAL, EGOTISTIC, ARROGANT BUNCH OF A**HOLES I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF MEETING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE…. WASTED 3 DAYS OF MY TIME( WHICH IS WORTH MORE THEN THE $8.00 PER HOUR THEY FAKE TO MAKE….
The two gentlemen Bo and Dan were the ones making my experience amazing. They were very professionall and kind. i bought my Honda Acord last year and I’m very happy with it. They answered all my questions, were very friendly, honest and fast. Thank you Bo and Dan, Thank you Thrifty Car Sales. I would highly recomend Thrifty to everybody.:)
I walked into Thrifty Car Sales not expecting that I would leave with a great car the same day. I did. Thrifty Car Sales made my car buying experience a pleasure. I would highly recommend Thrifty Car Sales to anyone looking to buy a car. Thank you Thrifty.
FUNNY CUZ THE LARD A** JOKE YOU SAY SOLD YOU THE CAR… HE COULDN’T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING BUT TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT DOWN AND FILL OUT PAPER WORK. BET HE HAS TO HAVE SOMEONE HELP HIM WIPE WHEN HE IS FINISHED WITH THE W/C…..(WATER CLOSET AKA BATHROOM) JOKE JOKE JOKE… AND IS IT ME OR DOES HE LOOK LIKE AN OOMPA LOOMPA? HCTIB TAF
I had very good experience with Dan and Thrifty Car Sales. I have purchased two vehicles from them most recently and would definitely go back again for another vehicle and to refer friends. My vehicle needed service and Thrifty promptly addressed the issues, providing a rental vehicle until everything had been resolved to my satisfaction. They were very respectful and accommodating.
