I have had two poor experiences here. The first I wrote about in late March and early April, 2021 about the buying experience in which the sales woman made statements that later proved untrue about two imp More

There were so many people I spoke to, and no one gave me their card; I do not recall their names.

The first step is to explain how & why my latest experience happened. 1. How come my internet inquiry [to sell my car to you directly] earlier that morning, to your website, sent me to Kelly Blue Book to determine the trade-in value? It was clearly implied from the messaging and process on your website that the KBB trade-in value offered was to be the amount that would be offered to me when I arrived, if the car appeared as I had stated it was. I had previously asked your internet contact [V. Jarrett]; and she was confident that your offer would meet or possibly exceed the KBB trade-in value. In conclusion, it was clear that I was led to believe that I would be offered this amount, or better, before I arrived. I had already refused offers from other dealers and Carvana, that hovered about $23,000. 2. Why was your offer, at around $19,500 approximately $4,000 lower than the KBB trade-in value of my car [obtained about 3 hours before this meeting]? I informed your staff members, attending to me, of this difference, and asked to see the "decision-maker" [whom they said was too busy to meet with me]; and they just attempted to justify the huge difference. I had already said twice [30 and 15 minutes] earlier that I wanted to speak directly to whomever would be deciding the amount of the offer. But I was repeatedly told that this person was unavailable, as they continued to try to justify the huge difference. [I failed to take the paper copy of the offer with me, as I was so offended by this low-ball offer, I just walked out.] 3. And this deceitful experience was preceded by my purchase experience on/after March 27; in which the sales woman made two serious incorrect statements to me about the car [She later admitted that she just "assumed [made them up]" without checking the answers to be sure; that I later discovered in my own research that were false. [Please read that review and the subsequent multiple emails with managers regarding this.] If you want to work towards a solution, it will begin with answering these questions/issues. Apologies do not make things right, unless definitive actions accompany them that eliminate the source of my discontent, and honor what was clearly implied form the multiple interactions I had with your staff and website.

Since sending the above reply to Heartland Toyota, I have had NO reply, whatsoever. No reply here, no email, or phone call/text. This morning, I visited their website again, entered all the details of my car, and was offered a trade-in of $22,485, and possibly up to $24,325. Yet, in person at the dealership on August 19, I was offered about $19,500. So, I have just set up another appointment for another evaluation and offer on Sept 1 with Heartland Toyota. If Heartland offers me $23,000+, I will accept the offer and edit this review to reflect that their management decided to "do the right thing" for a "valued" customer [as we all are called by them]. Footnote: If Heartland's offer is below $22,965, I will refuse it and drive to my appointment to be paid the same amount from Carvana. And this review will go unedited. As a former investigator/mediator for consumer complaints with the Maine State Attorney General, I have had many first hand experiences with shady practices by auto dealers.
