    For those of us that remember Gomer Pyle... SHAME SHAME SHAME !!!!.. Sounds like this sales guy was really trying to take you over the coals.. There seems to be a new angle for scamming someone out there everyday..
    I would report him to Toyota when you get your follow-up satisfaction survey..:bowl:

    This response is coming from someone whose son replayed that movie sooo many times he memorized it: It's 1.21 Jigawatts.:eek: I could just see going out to the car and finding charred remains and thinking: "Oh darn, not again!" I could just see the reaction of someone's boss when they call and say they'll be late again because of the charred body in their hatch.:p

    I agree 100% with what Mr. Efusco said. It amazes me sometimes how companies keep a crook like that on their payroll. I would go back, ask to speak to the manager or owner, and tell him exactly what you've posted here.:(
