    Figured I'd start this thread for people to post their bad experience/s, so people will know to be aware of specific dealerships, salesmen, even service related. Maybe you got taken advantage of or something got jacked up on your truck and they're not going to fix it.

    Goal helping everyone be aware of and avoid bad business and practices. And having it in one place/thread so it's easier for everyone to find.

    There is a finance guy at Precision Toyota in Tucson that is very slippery. If you go there have your own financing, pay VERY close attention to all numbers presented. He did his best to screw me and almost pulled it off.

    If you bring in your truck for service, oil change, whatever, expect to be accosted by several sales people trying to get you to trade your truck in. They have a captive audience, and they know it.

    Details man, details. I've already bought mine and had a straight forward forward finance guy. Curious how some of the others try to screw people. Is it by adjusting the length of the loan or interest rate?

    All I checked was that the price of the deal stayed the same, the interest rate, and the length of the loan, and the trade in value was the same. Curious how these guys try to get people. Pressure you to sign quick and hope you don't notice an increase in one of the above?

    The finance guy tried to play a game with the interest rate
