Hi Willimina, we understand how concerns about payments and interest rates can feel frustrating. Final terms are determined by the dealership and lending institutions based on credit profile and current market conditions. If you’d like us to review your situation or discuss possible options, please reach out to us directly — we’re happy to help where we can.

Had the exact same experience as…
Had the exact same experience as another customer. The letter didn't do any good. The dealership had never heard of this company. My payment 200$ since I was there and had filled out the paper work trusting the letter I had received I went forward. I ended up with a vehicle but not nothing close to what the letter said it woukd be like. It misrepresented itself with the numbers and corporation of the dealership. They said these letters mean nothing when it comes to buying a car that ro many people come looking for a deal that just isn't there. There no special group of people based on your timely payment.

Hi Jimmy, we’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. We want to clarify that the letters are invitation-based offers designed to encourage customers to explore potential upgrade options with participating dealerships. Final vehicle pricing, payments, and approvals are always determined by the dealership and lenders based on credit profile, vehicle selection, and current programs at the time of purchase.
We understand how differences between expectations and final terms can be frustrating. Our intent is never to mislead, but to provide an opportunity to review possible options.
If you’d like us to look further into your situation, we’re happy to review it directly. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I received a letter in the mail from Lendward ..
I received a letter in the mail from Lendward. Vehicle Exchange program promising that they can help me get from under the car loan that tied up in. I spoke with a representative she told me to go to Crain Ford and asked for Eric or a Brian. I did just that but no one went to go and get who I asked for. A different Sales agent came and read my letter, He tried get me into a ford escape. Mind you I never seen the vehicle he was trying to sale. Then he said the car company that sold me a car , he says they need to be put in jail. He said my car wasn't worth $1000.00 and I still owe 12,500 on it. But that is reason why I came to get from under the situation I am in. So after that I felt that it is all going to be a problem. Before I was able to leave the car company processed 9 hardship inquiry to my credit report after that he basically said he cant do anything for me. Long story short I walked out feeling disappointed, lied to and 9 hard inquiries to my credit report. When I have been trying to work on my credit. I tried calling Lendward the agent Mayra Vargas of course I cannot get through to her the caller is always on a call or away from desk . I havent been able to get in touch with anyone.

Hi Angela, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting that must have been, especially when you’re actively working to improve your credit.
Our goal is to connect customers with participating dealerships to explore available options, but final vehicle valuations, lender decisions, and credit inquiries are handled directly at the dealership level. Multiple inquiries within a short time frame for auto financing are typically treated as a single shopping window by scoring models, but we understand how concerning it can look.
We would absolutely like the opportunity to review what happened and address your concerns directly. Please reach out to our customer support team so we can look into this further and assist you.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hi friends
Hi friends! Just wanted to say a couple things about my recent car buying experience. First of all I want to say thank you to Omar at Lendward! I had received a letter from them on two separate occasions so this time I wanted to follow up with it, but I was really scared about it so I called Mr. Omar and he put my worries to rest. Set me up an appointment with lake Murray Mitsubishi.he arranged my appt for me and encouraged me not to be nervous about going 😊 So I kept my appointment and I’m GLAD I did. They were outside to greet us when we got there. It took couple hours which is short time for car trading! Normally have to stay all day! I had spoken with Ma Alicia over phone and text about coming. She was so friendly 😊 At any rate Ostine was our salesman. He was super! Mr Ostine was so patient with us. My husband cannot hear so it takes us a little longer to do some things. He made us feel welcome. And stayed right with us. A very respectful young man. And Mr Tevin worked hard to get us approved. Our credit isn’t the greatest. But he worked and got us approved! And at no time did they ever look down on us about our credit. So from Mr Omar to Ms Alicia to Mr Ostine and Mr Tevin. It was a great experience! So thanks Mr Omar for getting us there! And to Lake Murray Mitsubishi for all their help 😊❤️🚙❤️ Mary Hipp

Grateful 10/10 Experience
I went to Premiere Nissan & Volkswagen in Harvey and had the best experience. Anthony was so kind and patient with me during the entire process making sure I got the best deal to walk off the lot in a 2026 Nissan Kicks! The Manager (sorry I forgot his name) was so helpful and made sure that ai knew I could come back to them if there was any issues with my car. I am so happy that I went to Premier Nissan & Volkswagen in Harvey to get my new car!!

It was a very straightforward process and if it were not for the letter from Mayra we may never have gotten into a pre-owned 2023 Mazda CX5. Working with Moe and Hash at the dealership was a pleasure and we look forward to working with Lendward in the near future.
