Ultimately, I went to a different Toyota Dealership. Toyota of San Diego did not have the SUV I was looking for because of high demand and low supply. They tried to find me the SUV I was looking for, b Toyota of San Diego did not have the SUV I was looking for because of high demand and low supply. They tried to find me the SUV I was looking for, but they were unable to get the car from another dealership nearby. My biggest gripe would be that they should have told us that they could not make this deal happen because of the unique circumstances. After a couple of days of no car, I ended up calling another near by Toyota Dealership, and was told that they had 4 SUVs for me to look at (including the very model that the Toyota of San Diego tried to get me but could not seal the deal on). They did not hide the fact that this would be difficult for them to do, and did ask for time to make this deal happen. But considering that this SUV was in high demand/low supply and that the deal to get a car for 0% APR for 60 months was about to end, they should have given me the phone numbers to the other dealerships that did have the SUV but were not interested in selling or trading their stock to Toyota of San Diego. And god bless the salesman who was working with us, but he was brand new and out of his element. Not a good combination because I would have missed out on either the car I wanted or the deal I was trying to get. More
On June 14, I phoned San Diego Toyota on Mission Gorge Road, following up on a newspaper ad. Salesman Kong Nguyen, who identified himself as a delearship manager, took my phone call. He put my call on hol Road, following up on a newspaper ad. Salesman Kong Nguyen, who identified himself as a delearship manager, took my phone call. He put my call on hold, so that he could check whether the agency had the silver Rav-4 I wanted at the price I'd seen advertised in the newspaper. Yes, he promised, there was one on the lot. I was on hold again while he did the math on an “out the door” price including tax, license and other fees. We agreed I’d pay a total of $22,185.30 for my new silver Rav-4. I told him I'd be right out to buy it. I emptied my old car, in case the Toyota dealership wanted it as a trade-in, and drove out to Mission Gorge Road on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to get my new car. Since we only have one day off together, my husband went with me. We asked for Kong. He wasn't available; others offered to help. Nguyen actually materialized for about one minute -- then disappeared. My husband and were jerked around for about two hours – before it finally became clear to us that Nguyen had lied. The dealership didn’t have the silver Rav-4 at the price Nguyen had offered. He outright lied. If this sounds like no big deal -- then it means you accept that it's ok for car dealerships to outright lie to customers and steal their most valuable commodity: time. More
