Toyota of Wallingford responded

I am very sorry that you had a less than stellar experience and that we could not reach an amicable agreement. Our only interest was making the situation right for you, we even proposed multiple solutions including offering to make your first payment (to make up for your lost time regarding the second detail) and also to install a bed liner or remote engine start at no cost to you. We would absolutely still like to make things right, feel free to reach out to us if you would like to further discuss.

Toyota of Wallingford responded

Im not sure what you mean by freebie, but our only interest was making things right. Again, we do apologize for your poor experience and reached out to you with the intent of turning that experience around. If there is anything else we can do going forward, please let us know. We are here to help.

Again, these "offers" were contingent on the fact that there was going to be a review of the numerous mistakes, lack of communication, and follow through from the representatives at the dealership. I spoke with a manager and advised what would be acceptable and that I would leave a fair account of what transpired including how one person at the entire dealership attempted to make things right. I was told in so few words that there would be no offer by this manager if a freebie was taken. Avoid this dealer, their underhanded ways, and their uninspired resolutions offered to a dissatisfied customer..

freebie: Noun; [free-bee] something given without charge or cost, as a ticket to a performance or sports event Or in my case as a tool to try and keep factual negative reviews off the internet
