The Days of Our Lease Some people get addicted to meth, some people get married to someone that they never actually loved, the biggest mistake of my youth? Trusting the sal Some people get addicted to meth, some people get married to someone that they never actually loved, the biggest mistake of my youth? Trusting the sales team at Sport City Toyota. In the process of trading in a car they deliberately changed the deal we had agreed on, almost ruined my credit score, and falsified my information when they submitted it to the bank all under the guise of “trying to save me money”. If you’re looking on these websites because you’re deciding whether you should buy from Sport City Toyota or go to another place, I strongly urge you to seek other options because honestly going here has become one of the few regrets I have in life. If you’re curious about the entire story, keep on reading but be prepared…it’s going to be a long one so don’t continue if you have the attention span of a goldfish. The day started off normal, I went to Sport City because I needed to get my car serviced and as I was sitting there I noticed one of the sales people (I’m omitting his name because the General Manager is the only person that truly needs to know who it is) was walking around talking to the people sitting in the waiting area to get a feel for their situations. He stopped and spoke to an older man that was sitting there about his vehicle, and I remember hearing him talk about the fact that the man had a lot of positive equity in his car and was trying to explain why that was a good thing. The man wasn’t completely interested, so the salesperson ended the conversation and attempted to find some greener pastures. I happened to be sitting there, and I’m generally a friendly person so when he engaged me I smiled and introduced myself. Then he said a sentence that will forever haunt me because it was the first lie in a string of lies that led me to the worst decision of my life, and that sentence was “I just want to save you some money”…of course the idea was appealing, and he seemed (I emphasize that word) like a genuine person, so I decided to take him up on that offer. We walked back to the sales area and started talking. We went back and forth about what I was looking for in a car, what was going on with my current lease, and after a bit he brought in another member of the sales team to take over. The new person and I continued the conversation, and we went out to look at some of the cars he was talking about. At this point I was completely uninterested because the deals he was offering were all laughably bad, and I made that fact clear to him. As the discussion started to fizzle out since it was clear that I wasn’t going to bite, the other sales person came back into the picture and asked what was wrong. I explained everything and he said “Oh, so it’s just the car” and then headed on back to whatever lair he would go to when he’d disappear. After waiting for a bit, the second sales person came back with a huge smile on his face saying that I would be happy with what they had for me. They had found a car that had just been returned that was only a year older but was a better model and had about 19k miles less than mine. This was night and day compared to the last deals they had brought, so I was intrigued and decided to pursue this one a bit further. This was a mistake. We discussed my terms, and I was very adamant about the fact that I didn’t want to make any kind of down payment on the car and that I wasn’t looking for any kind of huge increase in my payments. He understood. Around about this time, the original salesperson came back again and started talking about the rates they could offer. There was some jargon about how I had negative equity in my car, and I would have to take care of that which was okay with me. He then gave me the range of prices that they could get financed, and I told him that if he could get me the lowest number on the range without me having to do a down payment we would have a deal. He immediately shook my hand on that and had me sign a paper that showed that I agreed. He then mentioned the fact that in order to get this deal, I had (and he stressed the “had” part) to get approved for a Toyota Credit Card. I thought this was a bit strange, but I agreed because I figured there was no harm in getting a credit card, in fact it would help me since having more accounts actually helps raise your credit score (I tend to be a bit of a nerd when it comes to my credit). He scurried back to his lair and returned after a beat to let me know that I had been approved because I had (again I stress “had”) fantastic credit. We got back down to business signing some of the basic paperwork, and my curiosity got the best of me. I decided to ask him about the credit card and what my obligations were for it in regards to whether I had to spend money on it regularly or what. He said nothing. I continued to pry and indicated that I thought the portion of my negative equity would be put on the card which caused him and the other salesperson to laugh and deny that…but that’s all that was said about it. At this point we were pretty much on the path to closing the deal, so the second salesperson wanted to get another signature on a mock contract. As I looked over the contract I noticed that there was something incorrect on it (it was something basic like my name or phone number), so I let the guy know and he hurried to get it fixed. He came back with the corrected contract, but I noticed a new problem with this one…the deal we had made was changed to be 3 months longer and the payment was adjusted to be the highest side of the range of rates. I pointed this out and he looked surprised then ran back to check what happened. He came back and assured me that it was “just a typo” and that it wouldn’t affect the deal at all. This again seemed kind of sketchy to me, but I decided to take his word for it and signed it. After this they handed me off to finance in order to complete the deal. I signed everything as it came to me until finally we got to the last signature and the finance person told me what I was going to pay…it was the deal that was “just a typo”…I mentioned the fact that this was incorrect and he stated that if we decreased the amount of months it would increase the payment amount. I didn’t know what to do since I had signed everything else, so I just signed the last line. Fast forward to the next week, I received a call from the bank that provided me the loan but I missed it. The next day the finance department from Sport City called and stated that I would need to call the bank back and confirm the information that was submitted to them regarding my financial situation. The rep went over what was sent, and I came to a startling realization…the salesperson had sent false information to the bank. When asked about my job at the dealership, I told them my accurate wages and that I technically hadn’t started the job because I had just been hired; however, the information that the rep told me they gave to the bank was 20k more than I make and had me working for the place for 6 and a half years…which would mean that I started when I was 16. Now I don’t know if that’s standard practice, but I do know that if I knowingly submitted incorrect information to a loan provider it would be grounds for termination of the contract. So with all of this happening, I figured things couldn’t possibly get any worse…then I got a letter from the Toyota credit card company. I opened it and literally felt my heart drop. The letter showed that I was responsible for a 4 thousand dollar charge on a 5 thousand dollar limit card. This was shocking for 2 reasons: 1. I was not told that this was going to happen, I can guarantee that I wouldn’t have gone through the deal if I had been told and 2. I don’t know if you’re aware of this but having a balance that’s that high will ruin your credit (personally, mine dropped over 40 points because of it). Now I’ve never been depressed before, but I’m pretty sure I know how it feels now. Nothing could bring me any amount of joy; music and singing are some of my greatest passions but for the next few days even my favorite songs failed to make me even smile. It was hands down the lowest point I’ve ever gotten to in my entire life because in that moment I realized that as a 23 year old I had increased my debt load by over 10 thousand dollars simply by being agreeable and trusting a person who claimed to have my best interest in mind. As the days went by, my shock was replaced by disgust which then became indignation. I couldn’t believe that a person would go out of their way to cause another person to go further into debt and be so shady about it (especially since they’re supposed to be professionals). I decided that I would try to find a way out of this deal that had caused me so much heartache because everything about it was done in a gut churningly sketchy way. I reached out to a lawyer to see what could be done, and they stated that we may have something because of the credit card situation since they had never heard about that being done before. Unfortunately we weren’t able to pursue that route because *surprise* there was no paper proof that showed the sales rep said I had to get the card to get the deal (it’s almost like they had done it before and knew how to cover their tails). I should also note that in the process of talking to the lawyer, I found out that they had put the charge on the credit card and said it was a down payment…which if you recall was exactly what I said I didn’t want. The sketchiness was over 9 thousand at this point but now it was clear I wasn’t going to be able to get out of the deal, so I just resigned to the fact that this was going to be a new part of my life. However, I decided to make it my personal mission to do my best to make sure that this never happens to anyone else. I got in contact with Sport City’s general manager and let him know what had happened and that I wasn’t telling him about all this because I wanted him to make it right, it was a bit too late for that. I explained that this was just me giving him the facts in order to hopefully help fix the problem with the sales reps. We then went through several phone calls where he tried to make things better by righting the wrongs because I think he even realized that the way this situation was handled was unacceptable. I will admit he was able to do a lot, he removed the charge from the credit card and lowered the payment slightly. However, the entire time it felt almost like I was pulling teeth. He would try to do the bare minimum to see if I would accept it then go a bit further once I didn’t respond with enthusiasm and when it came to the end he refused to give me the deal that I had initially wanted. So honestly now that I’m writing it out and thinking about it fully, he wasn’t even that interested in completely making things right…he just wanted to make sure they didn’t lose too much money while trying to calm a disgruntled customer. Which I guess is all we are to them…customers, not people. We’re just the things that they use to make sure they make their numbers and get paid at the end of the day…huh…well I’m going to wrap this up now because thinking about it too much still puts me in a bad mental space and apparently makes me see the true motive behind all their “kind” gestures. I used to honestly believe that all people are inherently good and that if I was kind and treated others with respect, they would do the exact same thing to me. But after this whole ordeal, I now realize that I need to guard myself at all times because some people will try to take advantage of me when I’m not expecting it. Now in the long run I will take responsibility for the fact that I signed every document that they gave to me but again, it was just because I couldn’t fathom that people would be so untrustworthy and shady with how they treat other people. So congrats Sport City…you’ve successfully added another cynic to the world. So for those of you that stuck with me this entire time, I appreciate and am slightly amazed by your attention span and hope this has helped you make your decision. For those of you that didn’t…well it doesn’t matter what I say, but I hope whatever cat video you clicked on to escape this made you giggle. P.S. Another few small housekeeping things that they failed to take care of is the car was still dirty when they handed it over, they didn’t fill up the gas tank, and they didn’t give me a second key…these pale in comparison to all the other things, but I figure they should at least get an honorable mention.

I needed my 10,000 mile service, which included a free oil change. In addition, I asked if I could have the locks adjusted to stay locked when I put the car in park, as opposed to all doors unlocking once in "park". I feel safer in parking lots knowing that my doors are not immediately unlocked once I stop! This was done with no questions! I also was having problems with my navigation system, which was cleared up in no time. I also received a free car wash, which I really needed, due to construction across the street from my house. I was very please with the friendly service of Rhonda and the fact that all the requests I made didn't seem to be out of line to anyone! It all felt like truly helpful, pleasant service! More
