DO NOT BUY FROM THIS LOSER

I think we figured that out from your first post. But since you paid with a credit card, you did pay with a credit card, right, make sure to dispute within 60 days of the transaction other wise you'll lose your money.

My credit card company wont accept a dispute til the 8th. Which means I've been paying interest and they have had the use of my hard-earned money. Thats what really gets me going.

Contact some news channels. I'm sure with more than 1 case at this dealership, they would do a little thing during hte news.

You're credit card company is breaking a bunch of federal laws if they tell you you can't submit a dispute until the 8th.

If the 8th is the 60th day, you *must* submit the dispute before that or they won't consider it, period.

Once you submit the dispute, they have to issue the credit while they research it. If they deny it, then they'll add the amount back on and you'll be charged the interest.

Please submit it in writing now if it isn't already too late. If it's been more than 60 days, you are screwed and your only recourse will be to take the dealer to small claims court.

Hooray! Hooray! Our new baby just came in! Ken Wetmore, an honest car salesman, of Steet Toyota in Johnstown, NY, was a joy to work with! We waited only about 4 weeks and the car that came in was just what we wanted. I got to drive the pine mica touring model home through the rolling hills of upstate New York on a gloriously sunny day and I had a blast! It handles like a dream, looks like a sports car and got 47.6 MPG to boot.

If anyone needs a new Toyota, I highly recommend working with Ken Wetmore. He kept us posted every step of the way with no exaggerations or deceptions. Steet Toyota is a top-of-the-line set-up and well worth the few extra miles. Johnstown isn't really that far away and the drive is a pleasure!

Is this what is sounds like? Free key FOBs for life? If so ... I'd take the deal just to make the dealership supply me with a new FOB every month just out of spite!

had a similar experience, but with a matrix. after promising a wonderful deal, they lowered my trade value by $2000. the sales manager said take it or leave it, and I left it. this is not my first bad experience at Empire Toyota. wound up buying the same matrix at Nye Toyota in Oneida. they bent over backwards to make the deal, give me a fair price on the trade in, get the car and deliver it. I would certainly go back to Nye, but never to Empire.
