We thought a 2013 Avalon Hybrid with the Touring or Limited package would be the right car for us. After a nice test drive with a nice young salesman, we were lured into a typical endurance contest wit Limited package would be the right car for us. After a nice test drive with a nice young salesman, we were lured into a typical endurance contest with a couple levels of sales management above the young man who took us on our test drive. We were only there for the test drive, did not have the Matrix with us that we intended to trade, and we had a limited amount of time available. We made this clear to Warren and Robert, and they acknowledged our situation, yet they came on to us with a line about "if we can make you an incredible deal today will you buy the car?" So sure, we agreed we probably would, if the deal was unbelievable. From that point forward the tag team of sales reps was obnoxious at best. Offered a coke, brought us a 7-up... what was that about? Made us a commitment for a car that they would have in the showroom the following day, took a $500 deposit from us, then claimed an inability to get the car there, but requested that we bring our Matrix in and they would loan us a Camry for the weekend. Now I know they could have sent somebody to Irvine for the Avalon and brought it down for us. And I know that they could have made a decision about the trade-in value of the Matrix within an hour or two of my handing it over to them. And I know that I would have bought a car from them if they were "good" instead of "bad." But they were totally manipulative and uncooperative and unwilling to negotiate in a straight-forward manner, so I rate them BAD. A few days later I traded my Matrix for a new Avalon Hybrid with Touring package at Toyota Carlsbad. The terms and conditions were no different from those I was trying to nail down at Toyota Escondido. The sales team at Carlsbad was willing to work with me instead of xx me. More

Not once did he pressure in our decision making, and he gave my husband and i plenty of space and time to decide what we wanted. We will be definitely be coming back to Toyota of Escondido in future car purchases. We love our 2013 Highlander! More

I was considering leasing a Camry. A dealer(Jorge Munoz) who was "helping" me kept saying to do a credit check and I said I did last month and he tried to say the those r not accurate and I said I didn't wa who was "helping" me kept saying to do a credit check and I said I did last month and he tried to say the those r not accurate and I said I didn't want to do it because it will bring down my score. So he says that u have to check it more than three times a month for it to bring down the score and he can give me the report if I choose to go somewhere else. I told him i was just looking and he still insisted on checking my credit. So I say he can check my credit he comes back shows me the score and then says he'll go n make me a copy and comes back only with the first page. I ask where's the rest n he says he can't give it to me it's illegal. And said if I go some where else there gonna have to run my score again n it will bring down my score. I will NEVER buy a car there ever! More

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING I had a 2013 Ford Focus that I've had nothing Ugg can't believe this place was recommended. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING I had a 2013 Ford Focus that I've had nothing but transmission issues and need a more reliable car a friend recommended a Toyota. Looked on auto trader and found a 2012 Toyota Prius for $25,700.00 at Toyota of Escondido. Drove the car and loved it. I was told that my Ford was only worth $16,000.00 from two local Ford dealer to purchase (typical). I really had not choice do to the problems I was having with Ford giving me the run around with the transmission in the Focus. I decided to go with the Toyota. The Prius had no floor mats or rear deck mat. So I was told to come back the next day to get a set. I drove back from La Mesa to find out that the mat where not there so I spoke with the sale rep and bah bah bah, offered to give me the mats the next day and activate the SAT radio for 6 months. 3 days later got the mats but not the rear deck mat and no SAT radio, two weeks and no SAT radio. Also, found out that Toyota of Escondido didn't sell off the Ford I traded but turned it around and put it on the used lot for $23,995.00 so if you are thinking of buying a car from this dealer first do allot of research and then go somewhere else. Don't buy from this dealer look for someone that will not string you along like me. More
I contacted this dealer via the Internet. I was looking for a price quote. I contacted 5 different dealers and only got an actual starting quote,and not just the msrp from only 2 of the 5 I contacted. I e for a price quote. I contacted 5 different dealers and only got an actual starting quote,and not just the msrp from only 2 of the 5 I contacted. I ended up bringing my trade I for appraisal and worked with Kevin. I had originally was in contact with Scott on the Internet but he was out the day I brought my car in. Kevin was great. He quickly got my car appraised, explained all the options on the vehicle I was interested in and further updated me on pricing. There was no pressure or hard sales tactics, just time answering all my questions and educating me on my options. When I came back the following weekend I ended up with a better price than originally quoted and really felt I got a fair deal. The best way I can describe Kevin and Scott is not "used car salesmen," but rather as customer service professionals. I would highly recommend this dealer but mostly Kevin and Scott. More
