Dealership Sales Review

[violative content deleted] and a very aggravating experience

Clearwater Toyota did so many things wrong I don't even know where to start. At first I thought I was getting a good deal and I was being treated fairly... Then I went into financing. Now to give you a bit of background, my husband and I had already bought him a car the same morning as I was buying mine in the afternoon. Therefore I already knew my credit score was well above average and there would not be a problem finding a bank to finance us. So when the finance manager told me that the bank I wanted to use wasn't going to finance me, I started asking questions. They assured me that the financing I had gotten that morning would never go through and the other dealership would rewrite that contract and call us back on the first car we had bought that morning. Their reasoning was the fact that it was a 2004 vehicle and said the bank would not finance a car "that old". Being it was Saturday and no way for me to check with the bank I accepted what they said at face value. My mistake. Not only did they LIE to me about the financing they also LIED about the fact that I couldn't refinance right away. They told me I had to wait 6 months to get my car refinanced. IF ANYONE TELLS YOU THIS THEY ARE LYING!! You can have your car refinanced immediately. They lose money if you do and that is why they tell you that. So I called the bank on the following monday and guess what? They said no problem we will refinance for you at 6% LOWER INTEREST RATE. I went from an unreasonable 10.5% to 4.9%!!! For a person with perfect credit that was more of an insult than anything. I couldn't believe what they did was not illegal. This was such a terrible experience that I went back and cancelled the extended warranty they had sold me because I NEVER want to deal with these people again.
