LIER AT THE DEALERSHIP!

So Saturday, we decided to buy the 2010 Toyota Tundra crew cab. (the big one) Chris, from the dealership said the banks were a GO but they would require a co-signer but toyota was ok with doing it. Said it was good to be picked up today. I went in this morning to give some I.D. and stuff, and make sure we didnt need a cosigner. He reasured me it was all good. So I spent the whole day, finding the cheapest insurance. Let me tell ya, it varies by a couple hundred bucks so it pays to shop around. So I found a good deal, switched my tenant insurance with them, got the insurance and went to pick up our truck. 3 TRIPS IN TO PEMBROKE, this day cost me, but for the truck we had searched for and found the perfect one....it was worth it.

Go to get the truck, sit down, he said on well so-and-so will show you a couple different ones you can get. No we said this very blue one in the showroom, thats what you said. Well no what we can do is you can LEASE this 2 seater. I CRIED! I spent so much time, figuring all our stuff out, getting insurance, the whole nine yards, and he said I can get something I have no interest in getting? No the first day shopping we knew what we wanted, it was just a matter of when. Now, not only can we not buy it, but we can only lease it? NO THANK YOU. Apparently our credit is great but because we haven't been loaned any huge amount of money, we can get anything more expensive than $20,000. We have a $20,000 car, we need bigger.

They spent 2 hours trying to sell us other vehicles when we kept saying no, we just want our deposit back. They were real quick to take the money, took 30 minutes to get a refund. The sales guy Steve, was great, the guy who made us think we were getting what we asked for.... NOT. Thanks for nothing Chris!

  1. I hate car dealers. I was going to by a truck once and when we got into the finance center the payment I had agreed to had been doubled. The interest rate they were trying to give me was above the legal allowable limit. When I walked out of the show room the sales man actually yelled at me about wasting HIS TIME and that now he couldn't send his daughter to Japan to be an exchange student. It took all of my will power not to sock the guy.
