Good Costco used car buying experience I was searching for a USED minivan 3 to 5 years old. I am an avid Costco member and so I used the Costco Auto Program which directed me to Gateway To I was searching for a USED minivan 3 to 5 years old. I am an avid Costco member and so I used the Costco Auto Program which directed me to Gateway Toyota. I then went on to Gateway's website and narrowed my choice to two possibilities (they have an extensive inventory). Gateway had sent me an email, so i called them and I made an appointment for the next day. I met Chris Etzel who listened to what i was looking for, I told him that i had a few target cars, and he took me out to see them and did a test drive. I selected a 2015 Sienna for about $21,000. He then asked me if i wanted to lease or finance, and he talked to his finance guy to get the numbers which took a little while, but to be fair they offered me several choices. I ended up just writing a check to keep it simple. The Costco program for used cars is simple - $500 off the lowest advertised "e-price". Maybe I could get to same place or even better by negotiating, but it takes that hassle off the table. I also traded in my 2004 Quest - Gateway offered $750 which I took; the "Cars for Cash" guy down the street had offered to "take it off my hands" for $0, so this was $750 better. The trade-in assessment was very quick. Gateway charged a $419 documentation fee which I did thing was very steep. So overall, I walked in the door at 10:30 am and I drove away at 145pm with the used Sienna. Chris Etzel was a very good guy - good knowledge of the Sienna, pleasant guy, very helpful, no BS. I definitely recommend him. More
Love the vehicle We traveled over 200 miles from southern MD to purchase a used RX 350 from Gateway. My salesman Sean Casey, was fantastic. Extremely friendly and no We traveled over 200 miles from southern MD to purchase a used RX 350 from Gateway. My salesman Sean Casey, was fantastic. Extremely friendly and no pressure. He made the experience very comfortable and pleasant. He helped move along the signing of the paperwork and always responded to my emails or calls before we made the drive. The car was cleaned and ready for inspection when we arrived. Love the vehicle. Clay More

Outstanding Service I was involved in 2 separate purchases within one week, one for myself and one for my 80 year old mother. Everyone from the sales person to the sales I was involved in 2 separate purchases within one week, one for myself and one for my 80 year old mother. Everyone from the sales person to the sales manager treated us with the utmost respect and without the pressure to buy. Special thanks to Tom Ullery for making this a very positive experience for my mother who was dreading all the typical car lot horror stories. It was her first time buying her very own car by herself and it was a good experience for her. Thank you !! You will be highly recommend to anyone I know looking to purchase a car. More
Their tactics explain 4.2 rating They will not budge on their listed price. Add to that a hefty and absurd $419 documentation fee. Be prepared to be low-balled on your trade. This rec They will not budge on their listed price. Add to that a hefty and absurd $419 documentation fee. Be prepared to be low-balled on your trade. This recipe accomplishes a 4.2 rating on this site and 4.1 on Google. Also, go on their site and you will see how many vehicles have sat on their lot for months. So they add the following note: SCHEDULED TO GO TO AUCTION ON "X DATE." Apparently, they sell better at the auction. More

Best buying experience ever! I flew out of state to buy from this dealer. I had several criteria; good customer reviews, good product representation; good price; personable sale I flew out of state to buy from this dealer. I had several criteria; good customer reviews, good product representation; good price; personable sales associate. I found all and more at Gateway Toyota Toms River. First, I dealt with the online rep, Joanne Mcarthey. She was amazing. She always called me back, answered all my questions, had infinite patience, great product knowledge in short was a pleasure to work with. That was online, in person she was awesome. This was a great experience, I can not recommend more. The pictures on line were accurate. The car was exactly as advertised. This car was in great condition, the price was the best I found. I wanted an additional item and the service department took care if it, and Joanne did not charge me. I highly recommend this dealership, if you buy from gateway, you won't go wrong. Ask for Joanne McCarthy. More
