    Answered
    I purchased a car from the dealership on Monday 2-5-24 and I gave them a check for $4,855 and my credit card to payoff my vehicle. On 2-8-24 I receive a text from the finance manager ****** saying my card expiration is not valid so I gave him another card to run that day and it went through for the amount of $3000. My pay off was for 10 days for $7,053.91 but the dealership wanted to give more due to the perdiem of 90 cents daily. So my payment to the dealership was a total of $7,855.00 to pay off my vehicle. It is now Feb 26th 2024 and my vehicle is still not paid off. I contacted the finance manager ****** and he is looking in to it but I want to cover my self with any discrepancies with this business and with their responsibility to completely payoff my vehicle because it is over the payoff limit amount that was inquired back on 2-5-24. I'm not happy with this Toyota dealership and on top of that there was no follow-up call from ******, my sales rep, to see how my purchase was doing. I'm very disappointed and frustrated with them up to this point. Please have their manager or owner contact me to get this resolved asap. Thank you.

    Unethical Business Practices: Lies and False Promises.We test drove a car similar to the trim we wanted and were told was arriving later that week. We received both an offer in writing on the new car we expected to buy (once it had arrived) as well as a written trade-in offer for our current vehicle, which included a price for our new vehicle that was higher than the other written offer we received. We asked why it was higher and they explained it was not the accurate price but rather reflecting a different vehicle that the computer defaulted to and not to worry about it. We asked several times about this and if the price we were given would change or any other fees they would add on later and were reassured this was the price and nothing would change nor be added later.When we returned the following day after the vehicle arrived, a manager showed up and blatantly told us that theyre charging us $4,000 above the previously stated price because we can. He was also extremely disrespectful to the sales rep stating (in front of him), he doesnt know what hes talking about and we know we can sell this car for $10,000 above MSRP, so were doing you a favor by only charging you $4,000 more. We showed him the written agreed price, and the trade-in offer with the previously mentioned higher price, which we were told to ignore, and he was clear that he didnt care and knows they can charge more so therefore they will.Before leaving, I let them know that I have purchased vehicles from that dealership in the past and would never do so again in the future because I do not support unethical businesses who lie and extort their customers. While at another dealership the next day, we ran into our neighbors who told ** they had the exact same experience Toyota of Lincolnwood for the exact same car the previous day as well. We found another vehicle at a much more reduced priced being sold by a more ethical and fair dealership at ****************************.
