After a Month, Wife FINALLY Gets Her Prius
I've bought a ton of cars over the years, but this has been the worst car shopping experience of my life. I've met and spoke to more lying and deceptive car salesmen (state wide) during this process than any before. We finally went with Crown Toyota in Ontario, mainly because they were honest, upfront and one of a very few dealerships selling them at MSRP. They got the VIN number yesterday, so we went in lastnight and paid for the car. This morning I got a call saying the car was on their lot and ready for pick up. We'll pick it up when my wife gets off work and then schedule an appointment for the first part of next week to have the leather interior done and Lo Jack installed. I'm glad this miserable process is FINALLY over and done with!!

We just can not get enough of them. I don't have too much to do with our Toyota store, but They do what they can. I was at the Toyota show last week. They have some great products coming out, but nothing with some edge like the S. They need a supra-ish celica.MAtt

Bob, you and I both know that that is due to the Bush Admin putting pressure on the Toyota dealers to NOT sell or deliver fuel efficient vehicles, lest his oil companies make less record profit than they are entitled to...........
