Off Lease Only

We have been looking at cars from Off Lease Only for a while now based on the recommendation of a friend so when we saw a car we were interested in we decided to take the plunge. After arriving we were greeted quickly by our salesman, Sam Hackett, who explained the process and quickly got the car for us to view. We then asked for a test drive and he quickly helped us arrange that. The entire process took a few hours, but that included taking the car offsite to a 3^rd party to do a vehicle assessment. Each member of the team we worked with, Sam, Anthony Palestos (Finance Manager), Shawn Mcleary (Finance Director) and Tony Riccio (Sales Manager) were friendly and helpful. It was a much better car buying experience than we have had in the past as the price is the price without any tactics to keep you in the dealership. Overall a very good car buying experience that I would recommend to others looking to get a great value on a car.

This is a great place to buy a used car IF you know what you are doing and what to expect. We went here on a Saturday afternoon to look at Chrysler 300s, with no expectation of purchasing that day, or even there necessarily. We had looked at a few closer to home, and OLO had nearly a dozen, so we went to compare.
We were immediately greeted by a sales associate upon hitting the door. He asked if we needed any help and if we had been there before. We had not, so he took us to one of the many computers and explained how they do things. This is really important.
1) They do not just do normal test drives of whichever multiple vehicles you want. You can crawl around in the cars, open hoods, and do whatever you want, but cannot test drive unless you are ready to buy. Often times they cannot even get you in to test drive the car you want in the same day.
2) All sales are «as-​is». If your car needs tires, brakes, whatever, it’s already factored into the value and you take care of it later.
3) MANY (I would even say most) of the vehicles have been in some sort of accident. On their website, you can view a free CarFax for each car. You will be amazed at how many of them have some sort of accident reported. Take a mechanic friend with you, I cannot recommend this enough.
4) Prices are as marked and non-​negotiable. If the vehicle has been in an accident, that loss of value is reflected in the price already. You will see some cars that are WAY below value… definitely check the CarFax on those.
5) Everything on the lot is on their website. I HIGHLY recommend looking at anything you think you might like on their site before you go, check CarFaxes, and go in armed with a list. We are car lovers and enjoyed just walking up and down the aisles, but there are literally thousands of cars, and sometimes dozens of one model, so having a list will save you time and help differentiate between lot numbers within the same model.
6) Everything on the lot is wide open. Go find what you want, and sit in it, smell it (some do need detailing, and/​or smell like smoke), play with all the buttons, look under the hood, check out the leg room, test-​fit your car seats, crank up the stereo and kick the tires before you even bother to track someone down.
7) The sales associates are not there to show you every car you want, help you drive them all, or help you decide what you want. They are there to do the paperwork and get you out the door. They do not make a commission, they will not get you a Coke, they will not try and sell you on something. Think of them as a Target cashier. You come to them with what you want, and they finish you up.
As car people, we sometimes like to just stop in and wander through the lot to kill an afternoon. There really is no place like it where you can sit in a Porsche, a MINI Cooper, an M5, and a Nissan Versa all in the same lot.

Purchased my Nissan Leaf here. The dealership is bare bones, which if you want the spinning wheels, and loud and obnoxious sales floor this place is not for you. My suggestion if you plan to buy go on a Monday afternoon. We showed up on a Saturday and it was CRAZY busy.
When you show up you will see a bank of computers. These are used to apply for financing, search for a make and model, etc. I would recommend a couple of things to speed the process up. 1. Look for the make and model on your own. 2. Arrange financing before you go. I used Capital One Auto Finance and it went very smooth. Once you know the car you can get a rep to prepare it for a test drive. You get about 15 minutes to test the car without a rep with you.
We met with the finance office and completed the paperwork. IT was all said and done. Keep in mind this is a no negotiation dealership.

A very different auto-​buying experience. I loved how there’s no pressure while selecting a car. In-​house financing was reasonable too, although I should have used my CU. Great selection of nice, late-​model cars, from Audis to Chevys and almost everything in between. I could have bought a Jaguar, Maserati or Porsche had I wanted to, but chose a Lexus hybrid at an astonishing price, low mileage too. Basically, it’s Prius running gear with a nicer-​looking cabin.

I went into offlease only not really knowing exactly what to expect. A neighbor of mine had recently purchased a Lexus from them and told me how great the price was. Their website does indeed have incredibly below market values. I discovered most of this is largely due to nearly all of their cars having some sort of accident history.
When I walked in I could hardly believe the chaotic environment. This is certainly not a traditional dealership in any sense! The guy who helped me was nice but it took quite awhile to get the cars I wanted to test drive ready.
Now for the bad stuff. Both Lexus cars were dirty; both were missing shift knobs; the stereo knob on one looked like it had been chewed up a bit. As far as the test drive, I was allowed to go just down the street and back. One car had a rubber weatherstripping piece loose and just rattling away as I drove it. You could also tell the vehicle had an alignment issue. As soon as I returned the second car, I quickly made the decision I would not be purchasing a car here. They wanted me to speak to a manager so I did. I voiced my opinion and what it would take to earn my business. Manager got caught up in trying to defend their business model so I simply ended the conversation by thanking both for their time.

I have been to many dealership looking for a van for my business. Finally I found the perfect van at OffLeaseOnly and the price was the best when I did the comparison amongst everyone in the area. The folks that helped me get into my van was very friendly and was not pushy.

I have had the absolute worst experience with this company. The ONLY people that are seemingly nice and/​or helpful are the lot guys who guard the gate. The salespeople are very unhelpful and instead of being cool about it they try to pressure you into taking any old car, not the one you actually want to shop for.
The manager was ‘assisting’ a couple when I first walked in, in my first visit, and he was so dismissive and unhelpful to them I almost left, but I needed a new car at a good pice, so I stayed. It is hard to find someone who wants to help. And I had absolutely no questions needing answered because I did all of my research before I came onto the lot, so I had a small list of the exact cars I wanted to look at.
And if you have more than one car you’d like to see, that is a bother to the salespeople so beware. And do not ask questions, I had no questions but when I saw people asking them I could tell the salesman was annoyed.
I did not even get to test drive a car on my first visit, which I drove over an hour to go to. So I had to come back the next day at 6:30pm, only test drove one of the cars I wanted to look at because it is so hard to find someone wanting to help.
The trips were so discouraging I put off car shopping a few weeks because I could not handle it. I went back a few weeks later with a specific car in mind. It was about 6:30pm. Test drove it and decided I did want to purchase it. After sitting and sitting I slowly received help and was there until 9:30pm. We completed every page of paperwork but I did not have the proper check on me for the down payment, so I would have to come back the next day.
I went in the next day to pick up the car and had to wait an hour and a half. To pick up a car that was all ready to go and all paperwork done. They do not respect people’s time at all.
I explained to the salesman, REDA, and the finance guy, ANTHONY, many many times that I would need be get a temp tag now so I could drive my current car home. I let them know I had a current metal plate I wanted to transfer. They both ignored me and title department ended up just registering my car and getting me a new metal plate. Which I then had to take time out of my day to go to the DMV to fix. I had to re-​pay all of the amounts due just to submit a form to the State for a refund. What a headache!
Then yesterday I receive my refund check from the $ 500 they take out to register your new car. There is no paperwork or receipt stating what the title and tag cost, just the refund amount. So I had to call them to find out what the costs were. I was told by their call center that only the tag/​title dept handles that and I would have to call back the next day. So this morning I called back to get the numbers I needed, I had to give my information to FIVE PEOPLE before miraculously I got to the right department. It took me an hour and a half to get this done.
This company is a joke. I got a good car out of the deal but this crazy stress and all these issues on top of getting horrible customer service???
I would buy a car from here, but just expect to get crapped on by every person that can possibly shove you to the side or treat you like dirt if you do not jump at the first car seen. I spent a total of approximately 10 hours at this place when it should have only taken 3 hours at the most. Plus all the phone time and getting passed around from one department to another, none of which know what they are doing. Just expect horrible service.

I originally wrote a 5 star review featured below until I took my car for its first service inspection.
Turns out my car had experienced extensive damage by its previous owner and required 2,000 in repairs. I had it quoted by three mechanics and even glimpsed below the car. The car must have been rear sided, because the axel was bent, and both hubcaps and tired needed to be replaced in addition.
When I called off lease, they neglected to offer any assistance. Oh well, ha.
Do yourself a favor. It’s not worth the risk here.
10 Stars. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, and seemingly had my best interests in mind at all times. I worked closely with Fernando who gave me advice on Financing, auto insurance, and even drove me to my bank to get my down payment! A wonderful human being who never felt pushy or aggressive. He as well as Mike were just decent family men who were trying to help me find the car I needed. And I did. 10 Stars you guys. And look for Fernando!

I recently needed to find a first car for our daughter. Its her first car and spending a fortune on a new car didn’t make sense. Seriously how soon after beginning to drive did you have your first accident? Your fault or not?
After visiting several car dealers in the area I decided to give off lease only a try. So they have hundreds of different cars, trucks, and suvs. The prices on the window are very reasonable as long as everything inside and out are in very good condition. Also be dure to test everything and pay attention for anything unusual on the test drive. This is an «as is» sale so if something is wrong you will be responsible to pay to have it fixed. I would suggest that you buy a vehicle still under factory warranty.
First test drive was a 2012 Mazda 3. It was in good visual condition but after a test drive it needed new tires, alignment, and an axel. About $ 1000 which the dealer doesn’t cover. A NO GO!!!
Then tested a 2013 VW Jetta 2.5 SE. It was absolutely perfect and the price was right. So we bought it.
The sales rep was very friendly and helpful as was the finance manager. Only downside was waiting FOREVER to get through the paperwork. Took at least three hours to get into the finance office. Yes it was very busy but geez hire a few more paper pushers.
I would suggest this dealer for those who know the difference from a very good condition vehicle and one that is going to need some work.

Let me start by saying that I do not usually write reviews but I would have written this review even without knowing the compensation matrix of what I will now call my «Go To» car dealers, Josue and Omid at Off Lease Only. Let me explain, these hard working people bust their butts to help you find and obtain what you want and are paid not on the amount of cars or price but on reviews. For all you cynical ppl out there, I did not have to write this before receiving my keys. I had been searching for quite some time for the perfect car for me, after a few horrible car purchase experiences, Bob Dance Hyundai and a scrupulous Craig’s List deal; I tried Off Lease Only and I’m never going anywhere else. I started online by picking out a car and called, Josue and Omid got the ball rolling with my financing pre-​approval and answered all my questions about the vehicle. We went back and forth for a few days via emails and texts because I was busy and couldn’t make it in person (the less time in a dealership the better) but they were always quick to respond and so helpful. I finally had the pleasure of meeting them and immediately recognized Josue’s voice as I walked by him with other customers. I will advise to get there super early, the lot is huge and full of awesome deals but they go quick! Josue had my car waiting in the back for me to test drive, love that rock star treatment! I would have been out the door in an hour if I wouldn’t have changed my mind about the car (s) okay so I changed it 4 times. Through it all Josue and Omid kept a smile on their faces and made me laugh, after it all I went with a less expensive car which would have pissed off other salesman but they were just happy that I was happy. Now on to the dreaded finance room or so I thought, Guesly, the finance manager, was so awesome he adjusted a few things and got my payment with an extended factory warranty from Infinity to where I was comfortable and happy. Nailed it! I spent quite a few hours at this place, where they feed you all day, even Popsicles to cool the heat and I can say these are some of the hardest working peeps in the car biz but literally the best ones I have ever encountered. I highly recommend it, go in and tell Josue and Omid «Hi» for me.

Awesome Place! Everyone is very friendly, happy and knowledgeable!
You walk in to this happy work environment make the car shopping easy!
Soon as we walked in Geraldo Venegas introduced himself to us and took care of everything. We bought an amazing car for an amazing price.
Thanks!

Best place to buy a car Ziggy was so helpful. I wasn’t able to get my car from them I am to new and my credit not high enough. But they still maade me feel welcomed and helped decide on what would be best for me. Ask for ziggy nicest guy you’ll ever meet.

I started researching car dealerships with the best deals on vehicles. I didn’t want to drive to far, but I wanted the best deal possible. I wanted a Volvo S60 with low miles, along with the model year of 2013 or above, just depending on the price. My research kept leading me toward OffLeaseOnly, but I wanted to make sure this dealership was honest with no hidden games. All the reviews on-​line seemed to be legit and most customers seem thrilled with their new car. I convinced my wife we needed to make the trip to Orlando, which is about 200 miles from our home. I figured if OffLeaseOnly didn’t work out, there would be several dealerships along the way during our trip that might have the car we wanted.
Before our trip, I spoke to a gentleman named Geraldo from OffLeaseOnly and asked if they still had several Volvo S60s on the lot. He assured me there was still several to choose from and told me to ask for him when I arrived. Several hours later my wife and I arrived at the OffLeaseOnly Orlando location. I asked for Geraldo, but he wasn’t available, so Ziggy Vanseghi assisted my wife and I. He explained the process from top to bottom. He told my wife and I to walk the lot, then choose the vehicle we wanted to test drive. We chose a 2014 Volvo S60 with only 10,000 miles on it to test drive. Ziggy pulled the car up, opened all the doors, trunk, hood, etc… He told us to inspect everything, he also did an inspection pointing out things we didn’t see. The car looked good from my eyes perspective, but Ziggy was very helpful in pointing out some minor scratches on the bumper. All and All, the car looked practically brand new. After the test drive my wife was sold on the Volvo. We told Ziggy this is the car and he began the paperwork. Sean Devito did our financing, my wife and I were somewhat harsh to him at first, usually the finance guy will try to add points to the interest rate, along with warranty or protection packages. To our surprise, Sean was very upfront and answered all our questions with no surprise gotchas. This was undoubtedly the best experience in a dealership’s finance office I’ve ever experienced.
After buying the car, we decided to take the car to the Volvo dealership to make sure everything look good with the car (Car is still under 4 year/​50,000 mile warranty). The dealership performed the complimentary maintenance on the car. Volvo gives you three free maintenance trips, one every 10,000 miles up to 30,000 miles. Since the car was right at 10,000 miles it was due for maintenance. It turns out the car had already been given a oil change, but Volvo performed the maintenance for free anyway. They also checked the car from top to bottom. The mechanic stated the car was in perfect condition with no issues. That definitely sealed the deal from my wife and I. OffleaseOnly met and exceeded our expectations. We are already planning our next trip to buy my son a car.

After several calls, emails and looking online I decided on working with Darrell DT Thornton at the Orlando Off Lease Only lot. Finding the right salesperson is as important as finding the right car.
Turned in my ’05 Honda CRV for a ’14 Kia Soul with 28k miles. Decided to get the extended warranty, saw the history report and had a good experience. Have bought several new and used cars over my lifetime and although this took 4.5 hours to complete, (it didn’t feel like it, they feed you with bbq hotdogs, hamburgers, chips and drink) with the no haggle, test drive on my own, trade-​in, finance etc — it might be faster for others if they bring in their own financing — they also found me financing at a much lower interest rate then I thought I would get. Highly recommended, call DT at Orlando.

One of the Best car buying experience I have had working with Omid, he is very friendly and down to earth that made the experience excellent! I would recommend this dealership to all my friends and family!

Omid is the best. I could be any happier he made my day there so much easy and painless. He help me out with no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get with them. And I really appreciate that. My brother my cousin and I we all have gotten are new cars from them. If you are lucky to get Omid you will see what I mean.

Buying a car is never an easy and pleasant decision. For the past month I have been visiting dealers and checking out cars until I visited offleaseonly and met Javier Silva,(The best sales associate ever), Sean de Vito, (The finance guy) and obviously Tim Silva (The manager). I was looking for the right car for my daughter as a present which is never an easy task. I have to say that for the first time in my life I was able to find the car I was looking for and make a purchase free of pressure. In addition, obtained the best finance interest possible and the most outstanding service of all. From a civic I end up purchasing a Lexus! It doesn’t get better than this!

Kudos to Off Lease– especially Thomas Q, Manny and finance guy Danny.
We shopped around– believe– we shopped around and price wise– nobody could come close. We tried to bargain with other dealerships and they had to shake their head and send me away because they could not match or beat Off Lease prices.
At the end of the day this place had it all. Options Galore– hard to make a decision of which car to buy so we bought two. One for my husband and one for myself. I never felt any pressure, just an attitude of helpfulness from everyone.
I am actually looking forward to trading in new cars in a couple of years so I can shop here again!
Special Thanks to Thomas Q for his patience with dealing with my fickleness!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU– I have already told folks at work about Off-​Lease and will continue to recommend to everyone.

Let me say I would never consider buying a car anywhere else ever again. I came here a total of three times looking around and trying to make up my mind and the first thing I really loved is that you are allowed to walk around look at the cars do research everything without somebody breathing down your neck trying to hustle you they’re there if you need them and you can absolutely ask for help but they are not overbearing when you pull up there is not some guy waiting to pounce on you. So I had gone to the two other places in between coming back here and decided that yes this was the best deal I mean seriously everything is thousands of dollars less than any other dealership the only way you would get a better price on the similar car is possibly through a private party or if you were buying a rebuilt title that’s it even if you go to the best «bait and switch» type Kia deal anything like that you are not going to beat the price at off lease only. I tried. As soon as I picked my car Erik had me go test drive it. ALONE… No salesman breathing down your neck trying to sell you the whole time you’re driving. He said drive it enough so that when you get back you can tell me let’s move forward or keep looking absolutely no pressure. I decided it was the car for me… we did the loan app (5minutes online… none of that paper crap). The other thing I have to point out as I own my own business and so does my mother who was co signing with me at the other 2 dealerships I went to not only did we get a little bit of grief for being women alone .but they hassled us about where our money came from and actually at Century Kia in Tampa they were judgemental and kind of implied that we must be doing shady things. Not the case at offleaseonly. Erik looked at my mother and I joint checking account looked at a little bit of our other proof of income I told him exactly what I wanted to pay for the car he made it work the longest part of the process after me making up my own mind was just waiting for the bank to respond once the bank responded we sat down with Sean in the loan room and within 20 minutes he had the license plates the insurance and all the loan papers finalized. And I drove home it was that easy I was so happy with the process I cannot say enough good things about this and in case anybody have any doubts about the other dealerships I went to I’m going to go ahead and Unilocal those also when they will not be getting good reviews offleaseonly was amazing they are friendly they are professional they are the best price all the cars still have manufacturer warranties the loan process is easy and quick and you even leave with your real license plate I can’t say enough good things about them thank you Erik thank you Sean!!!
