Lipton Toyota

Met Miguel while servicing my 2004 Toyota Corolla. Walked over to the room where they show car and Miguel was warm and friendly without pushing. Car sold itself, I mean Toyota sell itself because ver Walked over to the room where they show car and Miguel was warm and friendly without pushing. Car sold itself, I mean Toyota sell itself because very good product. Bought a new Corolla with upgraded radio- nice option, it drove real good, quiet, smooth. Got very good price thanks to Miguel. Recommend Miguel and recommend Lipton 100% for sales and service. Will go to Lipton in future because of 3 year free maintenance and nice service. More

After my 2005 Toyota Matrix (that I bought in Oct.09 for $8995.00) was totaled when I was rear-ended 8 weeks ago, I needed to replace my vehicle & decided I wanted another Matrix. Found an '04 Toyota nearly $8995.00) was totaled when I was rear-ended 8 weeks ago, I needed to replace my vehicle & decided I wanted another Matrix. Found an '04 Toyota nearly identical online & visited the lot. No price listed on line, I was quoted $11,444. The final verbal offer was $10,400. I put $5000 down, and was talked into financing the rest. My credit is bad, so my best friend co-signed for me since her's is great. After was felt like a shell game I signed paperwork and drove off the lot thinking that I had just purchased my car for approx. $12,000 TOTAL after taxes and fees. Upon review of my contract, I am paying $12,000+ financed ON TOP of my $5000 down payment. I am flabbergasted. It is stressful enough to endure a severe car accident that isn't your fault, but to be mislead and conned on top of it is disgraceful. A 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS is not a $17,778 car, not when it's nearly 7 years old. More

I was forwarded to this dealer after I submitted a credit app via a financial institution. I was told that I was approved, received an email from "a finance person" at the dealer and was called 3 times to co app via a financial institution. I was told that I was approved, received an email from "a finance person" at the dealer and was called 3 times to come in and meet with him & his sales guy, and just pick a car from the lot and drive home. On the date & time I visited they were both not there. Another sales person said "he works with their dept" and wanted to help me. First he insisted that I fill another credit app, even though the dealership had one on file from just 4 days ago. Even though I wasn't comfortable getting my credit run again (which wasn't extremely good to begin with), I went ahead. After that point I was literally pushed in to buying a "pre-owned" instead of a new car. Later I learned that the people & dept I was sent to only dealt with used cars and I was repeatedly told that buying a brand new car wasn't such a good idea, due to the depreciation etc. Way to make sales - tell your customers that it is wrong to buy a new car. I am fully aware of depreciations & residual values etc. I just didn't want a 2-3 year old model just to save 20% from the cost. If I didn't have a trade-in, I'd have gone the pre-owned route but I had done my homework before I walked in the dealership... After that I was told that my current trade in would bring in %40 less than what I estimated (black book/blue book trade-in values). I asked them why this was, and I was told that the car had "airbag deployment (accident)" in it's carfax history. I should have realized this was a trick when they asked me if I bought my previous car from them and/or if I was the original owner. They were hoping that I was dumb enough not to check the carfax history when I was buying my current car. I told them that I knew for a fact that my current car had a clean history & demanded to see the carfax report that they have just received. The sales guy disappeared, came back 30 seconds later and said "sorry you're right, the carfax person was talking about somebody else's car, not yours, your car has no accidents". Whoop my trade-in value goes up to where it should have been in the first place. A dishonest trick to lower my trade-in value... Talking further, I kept asking to get the out the door price on a base model Camry with automatic transmission and no other options. I was told twice that the car was $25,000 plus taxes, fees, plates etc... In reality that car has an MSRP of $22,000 and invoice price of $20,000. I know people who have purhcased the same car for $20,500, cash, after all fees & taxes. Right there from my phone I went to Toyota's website, showed the pricing of $22,000 and asked where the $3,000 difference was coming from. Apparently, the $3,000 is the cost for the labor to put the car together... Who knew Toyota Camrys were really kit cars, shipped in small plastic bags from Japan, and the good people at Lipton Toyota assembled the whole thing bit by bit, right here in Oakland Park, Florida. Later I was told that the $3,000 was ADM (Dealer Profit) but was assured "Oh don't worry, we won't charge you that anyway"... Starting the minute I walked in the door, I relayed crystal clear that I was an educated customer, who had done his homework, knows a lot about the car, options, prices, warranties etc, had approximately 50% of the car's cost in down payment & trade in, would have no problem securing financing from my credit union or pay in full if needed yet I was still treated like an idiot and had every cheap trick in the book thrown at my face... Even though Toyotas had some safety issues in the past few months, they are still popular cars that literally sell themselves. Had I bought another Toyota from Lipton, it'd have been my 4th one. I'll buy another Camry in the next few days, just in no way on hell from Lipton Toyota... More
