TLDR: Look to Koch Toyota Rt 2 for the classic pushy, drawn‑out, upsell‑heavy car buying experience. Deal on a new 2026 vehicle was mediocre. I like the car, but I could have done better elsewhere.
Details:
I started off looking at their website to see what was available. I thought maybe I could get a rough quote using their four step application, but when that was clear I would not get a quote, I exited at step 2.
I didn’t even finish the finance form or submit it, yet within 30 minutes I was bombarded with calls, emails, and texts for days. Very pushy and shady practice. I ended up securing financing through my own bank before going to the lot.
At the dealership, I was approached before I could even park and immediately dragged into a Barbara Walters-style "interview". I only wanted to browse and test drive as I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy a car that day, but the pressure was nonstop.
The process took about 3.5 hours total. From negotiating, plus constant upsells on insurance, and maintenance plans, it felt like it'd never end. Even after purchase, picking up my registration and getting an inspection sticker took another 2 hours for what should have been 30 minutes tops.
Everyone I encountered were friendly, but "smoothly" aggressive if that makes sense. The whole experience felt like a time-sink. I do like the car, but Koch Toyota's approach was pushy, inefficient, and not very streamlined.
If you’re shopping for a Toyota, I’d recommend looking elsewhere first and making Koch Toyota Rt 2 your last stop. Keep in mind your mileage (pun intended) may vary.
