Our experience was really good. I think the fact that the salesperson waited until late in the discussion to tell us there are no discounts on hybrids was something to tell us up fr I think the fact that the salesperson waited until late in the discussion to tell us there are no discounts on hybrids was something to tell us up front. I asked about discounts which is when he told us of their unusual practice of no discounts. More

The Toyota website is easily navigated and helps in pinpointing which model is best for you. Then the in-person salesman can answer the nuance questions you have. The whole experience was much smoother pinpointing which model is best for you. Then the in-person salesman can answer the nuance questions you have.

It was absolutely undervalued, but with the excitement and situation, I felt compelled to agree to the initial offer. As much as I love my new vehicle, I still have a pit in my stomach, where I feel that I was “taken“. I try to focus on my new vehicle, but I still feel that they knowingly screwed me and as a repeat customer, I am frustrated. More

We were very pleased with the attention, graciousness, and courtesy that we received from Eric Cornelison. He wasn't pressuring us, and was very helpful! We started wanting a manual Tacoma. We designed and courtesy that we received from Eric Cornelison. He wasn't pressuring us, and was very helpful! We started wanting a manual Tacoma. We designed one for a delivery w/a deposit of 500 dollars. After waiting for over 6 months we ended up purchasing a Tacoma from a different dealership. The other dealership's salesman obviously didn't care about us and just wanted to make a sale. The service department at the other dealership was excellent. We weren't as happy with their salesperson. Eric reached out to us when a manual Tacoma finally came in to Toyota DM. We drove it, but since we had already purchased a Tacoma, we looked at several other vehicles. Eric was very accommodating to us. We test drove two different vehicles, and finally decided on our Cruiser. We are still trying to understand all the bells and whistles. We did appreciate the help we received getting accustomed to all the different electronics. Justin Vos was extremely accommodating and even responded several times to my emails, as I was trying to figure out my remote start etc. I hope to come back to the Toyota of DM for a second Tutorial on the cruiser. I need a bit more guidance on the technical. We did not know on the Cruiser that it took only premium unleaded gas. That was a surprise to us. No one had mentioned that earlier. Maybe they just assumed that we would know? So the end result was that we started working with Eric on a Tacoma. When one of those didn't come and we had to get another vehicle, we ordered a Tacoma with everything we wanted from a different dealership. We came back to look at the Tacoma when it finally arrived at the dealership, and we ended up buying something completely different because of Eric Cornelison. More

Because of very limited supply from Toyota, we had to wait two and a half years for our new Prius Prime XSE Premium. Not only was the wait well worth it, but Todd stayed in touch and kept us informed all wait two and a half years for our new Prius Prime XSE Premium. Not only was the wait well worth it, but Todd stayed in touch and kept us informed all the way. The attention to building a Customer relationship is what instills trust and confidence, which is why we will always be returning to Toyota Des Moines for all our maintenance and future vehicles.
