Scott Clark Toyota
Dealership Sales Review
My daughter had been looking for a 2009 Yaris. We went to a few dealerships and couldn't find any kind of a deal, only frustration. I suggested Scott Clark and off we went. Our salesman was Lionel, he was great. Not pushy, mild mannered and very helpful. They didn't have any 09 Yaris's but he showed us a Mazda that we test drove. It was a really nice car but not what my daughter wanted. They made us an offer and we went home to think about it.The next day, Lionel called to say he had a 09 Yaris and he thinks he can come close to what we were looking to pay. I did not go but my wife went the next day. It was a great looking car but a little high priced. They made an offer and she went home, not impressed.On the next day, my daughter wants to buy this car, being it was like the only one in the area due to Cash for Clunkers program. They go down there and we were looking for a little more off the price, being we were putting a good size down payment on the car. Plus my daughter recently graduated college so she was looking for one of the college rebates they were offering. And she was already approved for a loan since she has great credit. THEN THE FUN BEGINS.....................Along comes the big Sales manager, Marty Abernathy. He is what everyone fears at a car dealership. [violative content deleted] and he thinks he can close any deal just by his presence. Boy did he have it wrong.First, he doesn't budge on the price, which was 15,600, Then he says my daughter doesn't qualify for the college rebate because she does not work in the field that she went to school for. Then he says her credit isn't good because of a late payment for a doctors bill. Does this guy WANT to sell a car? Keep in mund this is a dealership that needs to sell 600 a month just to brake even! Obvious not, even though we had 3K in CASH, ready to buy! He had my wife frustrated and my daughter crying. Now my wife is a force to reckon with herself. She is not taking any crap from a car dealer. After 1.5 hrs, they walked out. But have to say, I really need to shake Marty's hand because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have gotten the best deal on a car ANYONE could ask for! After searching online, I found 1 [elsewhere]. Not only did they sell the car for 1K less than Scott Clark, they also said that she qualifies for a couple of rebates.
