Dealer SOLD my truck - resolved

Yes I will call them .

My deal isn’t that great. But I was happy with it since the truck is so hard to find . About 10% off msrp

$34228 is same price offer in nor cal (didn’t have cement color for me) and WA (interior gray) for same truck

38k is msrp

 

A lifetime in MA..kill me now!

My relatives live right up the street from there..

 

No but at 61 years of age I have had a LOT of dealings with dealerships.
The deposit was made. It was financed with a Vin recorded and the dealership stole it from her.
Call the police in their city. Report it and get a case number. Even if you don’t involve a lawyer initially. Without a police report and case number you won’t have much legal recourse if needed down the road.

 

Side question ... is the red interior a deal breaker? If you got a good enough price maybe the dealer could change ... or you could do the leather seat covers ... lots of people do that ...

 

Too early in the process to compromise.......stick to your red interior , Mr Toyota made more......

 

Wait it out. If you go now, your credit score will be lower at the next dealer.

 

This is why I use my credit union. They run you once and you buy from anywhere

 

As far as OP goes, I wouldn’t deal with them. Every time you walk through the doors every person there will know how you were screwed. Think of all eyes on you. Not worth it, F them and go somewhere else. I’ll sell you a clean ‘14 with less than 40k miles for $18k

 

hmmm...

 

I live in this area and this ^ is spot on. This dealership caters to rich people and they treat us normals pretty bad. I never even bothered to look at their lot when I bought my truck. Get your money back they won’t help you but will take your money.

 

Good luck, OP.

 

Have you tried Freeman Toyota in Santa Rosa CA?

 

Sorry, late to this thread. Have you tried Longo Toyota in El Monte, CA. They're the #1 dealer by volume in the nation.

 

This is a new truck you can get anywhere. Just take to the phone and call dealerships in rural areas. They are ecstatic to get your business and they will probably deliver for free.

Don't do business with dealers that treat you poorly and give more business to ones that treat you right.

 

Not a deal breaker at all

Sr5 double cab 4x4 long cement goood enough for me

WA has 2 trucks. One msrp, one 34200

 

I have a draft from my Credit union
Pentagon federal credit union to buy from anywhere

dealer was able to get a better rate

 

Berkshire Hathaway Automotive acts as a management group overseeing 81 separate dealerships. The dealerships are separate business entities and the dealership GM is the king of the castle. There isn’t much teeth from BHA corporate down to the dealer on a situation like this. I have been to their HQ in Texas several times both before Warren Buffett purchased and after. AutoNation and Penske have a different structure where the group owns all the stores and can dictate what they do.

I agree with contacting Toyota and the retribution through social media blitz is left unsatisfied. The person to talk to is the GM at Village Pointe Toyota, be rational and professional when speaking with him. Looks like it’s this guy: http://linkedin.com/in/terry-zimmerman-a1480bb0

 

Yes

they didn’t have color

they were my first stop

 

I have reached out to Mr. Zimmerman as well
