John Goodpaster

I had been searching for a used Tacoma TRD for the past 5 months, either a Off Road or Pro pickup, knew what I wanted in terms of features/perks. I was looking at pricing matching age and mileage, some deale months, either a Off Road or Pro pickup, knew what I wanted in terms of features/perks. I was looking at pricing matching age and mileage, some dealers were outrageously high, others way low indicating a problem with the truck, and others in the middle, some were actively lowering their prices while some were not. I was also checking out dealer ratings, & some, quite frankly, scared me away from the reviews alone. I was looking for a dealer that would treat me well and fairly, as much as I was looking for a good used truck. Finding the truck is the easy part, finding a good dealer is the hard part. I was keeping tabs on the 2019 Voodoo Blue TRD Pro that Ed Martin Toyota had for sale, online, and because this dealership is highly rated, I messaged them about it and John Goodpaster messaged me back, sent me a video of the truck and himself answering my questions, and we stayed in touch by email initially. I finally decided to drive up and test drive the pickup, was scheduled for Monday, Dec 1st, but saw that a snowstorm was going to hit that day, so drove up on Friday Nov 28th instead. Prob should have gone sooner, as Friday was their Black Friday Sales Day and they were super busy when I arrived. John let me bring my dog with me, and she got to test drive with me too, as well as go inside their big building when it came time to sign the paperwork for it. Several other employees came over and thanked me for making the drive up there and made me feel right at home. John put me at ease from the get go and there never was any rushing around or pushing me to make a decision, very relaxed atmosphere there even on what appeared to be their busiest day. They knew I was making a 4 hour drive to get there, John held the truck for me, and then they helped me get back on the road home as soon as they could. Josh the Business Manager, took care of me just as well, ensuring me of a good extended warranty at a fair price, much lower price than many companies that offer warranties, I might add, and he drives a TRD Pro pickup also, so I was quite comfortable dealing with both John and Josh. Even after I returned home with the truck, they have both been able to help me with answers to some questions, so their follow up is just as professional. I am a guy that buys a pickup to use it, I traded in my 2010 Tacoma TRD Off Road with 389, 000 miles on it, something they prob are not used to seeing, but it lasted me ten years and hopefully, this 2019 will last that long, if not longer. One thing is for sure, I like it a lot, glad I purchased it from these guys, and would not hesitate to return in the future for another one if need be. More
