Did you give him your number?

 

I'd want a stick...FI is hard on a auto tranny....

 

I'm getting an auto, I just want to chill and cruise

 

Yea, i gave Mark my number and I never got a call

 

I had a really hard time finding my white 5speed without a sh1tload of options. I wanted one that was stock. Toyota of Carson kept calling me in telling me they had just got one in, but it was bull... They called me in "four times" and every time I got there, nobody knew where it was then they tried showing me other cars When Toyota of Orange called me and told me they had one on the truck that was about to be offloaded, I didn't believe him and told him to call me after he personally sat in the car. He did and I had it in my driveway an hour later. :D

 

I had same kinda problem with Manhatten Beach Toyota. I got a call in the morning and was told my car would be ready for pick up at 5:00 PM. Well 6:00 oclock rolled around ... so I call them ... "we are still working on it" ... what a bunch of BS.

... we called around and found one at ... hold on I gotta go see .... CABE Toyota/SCION. Talked to Kenny Rossi "The Deleaware Kid" ... had one ... was in and out in less than an hour.

The only extra item was floormats.

Was a good guy ... but didn't know about the XA/XB setting on the radio.

Today the MBT called ... and said "sorry".

I know then the dealers only make like a little bit of money on them ... and the salesguy only like $25 ... but if SCION is sposed to get the youngens into buying toyotas in the future I'd talk stright to the the customers ... yah we can get you the car on the date or not.

I'm not happy with Toyota of Manhatten beach. My brother inlaw used to work there ... was the only reasion to go. It wasted a bunch of my time and money too.

I'm not happy with them at all...

but I should have known...

How do you know when a salesperson is lying ...

his[her] lips are moving.

I got an automagic ... zipps along just fine a bit slow on the takeoff however.

 

Many of the people I mentioned my Toyota of Cerritos experience with, have told me they had a bad experience too... I guess they're just too big to care though (busy or something). :?

 

Im sorry to hear about your experiences. I would never wish that upon anyone

 

You've probably done that to other poor people too, huh?

 

There are allot of dealerships outthere and some are just not pro-scion

 

Ouch, that hurts. That's one of the things about my job I hate....I don't lie to customers (with Scion, what is there to lie about?) and still half the people think you're BSing them. Yeah, there are a bunch of salespeople out there who make their living out of sticking it to customers, but they're a dying breed. The internet and all the consumer reports have made honesty and information overload overtake guile as the most useful selling tool.

 

my first car was an automatic only because it was handed down to me from my mom. since then i have bought 4 straight manual tranny cars. And unless hell freezes over, i'll probably keep buying sticks over autos.

a driver does not feel connected to the car when driving an automatic and it cheats the driver out of the "full driving experience"

plus i laugh at peeps that can't drive stick.....ya gotz no skillzzzzz
