    I honestly don't think Kitty knows....he/she went in to the dealership and said I need a vehicle.....didn't look into it...or do any homework on the purchase....we aren't talking about a mop....a car purchase is not somehting you should do on a "spur of the moment"

    Was this a certified pre-owned vehicle?
    therein lies the rub. it was labelled as being "preowned". the firm's materials specifically make that out to be something other than used and also say those were cars with a 'new car peace of mind'.

    it's pretty friggin deceptive.

    I bought a used car once, and I had to call my dad to come jump start it the first night I had it. And we HAD had it check out. I feel your pain.

    i did some homework but, yes, not a lot. the total expense of this truck after repairs won't break me.

    still, if you are going to advertise a vehicle as being 'like new' and distinct from run of the mill 'used' as in there aren't problems, then dont put a truck on the lot with a screwed up transmission.

    i guess i dont like feeling like ive been taken advantage of. i like to believe that occassionally you can deal with people and get what is represented to you. perhaps the problem is that i work in a professional environment that is non-sales. im not looking to trump someone on a daily basis.

    I also have not enjoyed dealing with Toyota dealerships, at least for a new vehicle. There is a region called "gulf states Toyota" that controls what new cars can be equipped with. Commie bas s.

    STOP! Step away from the ty vehicle! Didn't test drive it, didn't have a mechanic inspect it, etc... You are not smart enough to even drive an SUV. A broken SUV is the perfect vehicle for you! Maybe the AC works, sit in there and just listen to the radio. Maybe I will take you for a cruise later tonight when the sun goes down. This heat is on my paintjob!

    You just don't want anyone to know or something.......most used car dealerships carry all brands...specifically which dealership.....jeez....you must be a 411 user too


    getting the run around.
    What did they say to cons ute the "run around"
    When someone is upset...anything can sound like the run around.

    Many vehicles carry a limited manufacture's warranty for pre-owned vehicles. Did you inquire about that possibility?

    I was just thinking this.....pre-owned is a fancy way of saying used.

    Do you actually understand what you read.......did you pay cash...or will complain about getting stiffed with a crappy dealer loan too?

    Why is it deceptive.....many pawn shops have that in the window or on a TV.

    i did some homework but, yes, not a lot. the total expense of this truck after repairs won't break me.
    Like new.....this does mean it is new......did it also say "as is" in the window....or did just read the big letters on the windshield?

    Homework? what kind of homework?

    ever hear of "good faith" dealing? i'd like to be able to deal with people who aren't out to screw unsuspecting customers to make a few extra bucks. i mean, come on.

    Since when?

    just because it has different wording doesn't mean anything but make it "look" appealing....like a billboard that has giant letters "Lose Weight"....and you think "what a great deal" before really looking into it....it has always been been buyer beware.....not just in used cars but anything used...from toothbrushes and shoes, to computers and TV's.

    Did you find out information such as
    service records for the model?
    Blue Book value?

    What was the conversation between you and the dealer regarding your problem? Did you purchase any after market warranty.

    Was it an actual toyota dealer or someone that happened to have used toyota on their lot?

    Nothing like playing 20 questions....just to help to try to help someone.....i might as be a dentist with all this tooth pulling

    well sure. if i wanted to be anal about it then i'd probably end up buying a hyundai or whatever that has a 50 year warranty.

    you know, i'd like to go through life while not being paranoid that everyone is out to get me. i guess that'll cost me. but at least in the end i'll have a somewhat richer life than worrying myself to death all the time.

    No she didn't, she mentoined it in the first line.

    I don't like car salesmen. Why? Because the only way for them to make money on any deal is to screw me. If I go in there and demand a certain amount above invoice etc and then work with the rebates, I'm going to get a car at the best possible price and the salesman is going to get jack .

    In todays day and age, they are out of date.
