This is unfortunate to see. Yes, you did order a Highlander Hybrid, and yes it did push out further than we expected. We did communicate this with you throughout the process and you decided to wait rather than look at an alternative. Secondly, you decided to move away from your initial choice of an XLE Hybrid Highlander and move to a Platinum grade Hybrid Highlander. You were told that this would push out the ETA of a vehicle much further than the original choice and you decided that you wanted to wait for the Platinum. You were not told that you had been moved to second rather than first in line, so we are not sure where that miscommunication came from. Without notifying us, you decided to go ahead and purchase a Lexus from another dealership. You then called and said you wanted your deposit back. You sign multiple documents stating clearly that the deposit is NON-Refundable and the vehicle you chose could take much longer than the anticipated timeframe. You decided to pursue getting the vehicle, then change to a much harder to get vehicle afterwards and had been told this would push the delivery time out much further. We all knew of your wife’s illness before deciding to put the deposit down and that it was NON-Refundable in any case. You decided to proceed with the purchase. It is disheartening that this would be a point you’d use to make us out to be cold and callous. We are sorry for your situation, and we do pray for your wife and your family’s health and recovery. We do understand the situation is tough, that does not change the facts stated above. Thank you and please feel free to reach out to me any time.

“As you know, on March 17, 2022 we, as repeat customers, ordered a 2022 Highlander Hybrid 6961-4 door FD Hybrid XLE SUV (CVT), silver Vin# 5TDGARAHONS10F439 through salesman Vernon Mason. We were told to expect delivery in 30~60 days. Each succeeding month, when we called, another time frame was added. Phone calls were not returned until they had been made by us at least 3~4 times. We had placed a deposit of $1000 and had no reason for not expecting the vehicle based on a good relationship previously with your company. In August 2022, we were advised Toyota no longer makes that vehicle. We were advised by both Mario and Will that we could take a refund or advance to a 2023, which were we encouraged to wait until October. BOTH stated we were #1 to get the 2023. We decided, since we still had to wait, to move up to the Platinum model. We finally gave up on your promises and bought a Lexus in Florida. We noticed you cashed our deposit within 4 days of receiving it. If this deposit of $1000 means more to you than your honesty, your word, and your reputation, please keep it. We trust this will help your business more than our income. As God commands, we will pray for our enemies. By the way, it was Mario who told me on the phone we were no longer #1, but #2.” John & Sandy Rice
