When I bought my 2004 GTO back in 2013, they called me back and wanted a consigner. I refused, and they dropped it. Didn’t think anything of it at the time, but I read this and it concerns me.

Typically what will happen with option contracts such as yours is that the dealer will write you at the best rate they can and give you “x” amount of days to take your contract to your bank/CU. If for whatever reason your financing falls through, your contract defaults back to the terms agreed upon with the dealer. …

I suspect its geographically biased: I live in LA and Valencia is kind of a boonies neighborhood so they have fewer high priced customers, more often aspirational customers who go for the cheaper base models of everything.

Any dealer that uses people dressed as uncle Sam I stilts should be avoided.

When I worked at the dealer, I would look at our ads and see which cars we actually had in stock, like you said, rarely. That’s why that sale stands out, the girl and her parents came, asked to see the car in the ad, it was miraculously in stock, test drive, they liked it, and they drove away in it about an hour…

I would skip it, not because I know much about the Supra, but I do know that in about 2 years there will be a new one on the market and those with money may very well skip a used “vintage” version for one of the new ones.

That’s because the car isn’t his when the leases up. They want to make sure their product is kept in proper form for resale.

I’d try to find some Supra dedicated forums and ask there if I were you.

Personally. I’ve never delved deep into Toyota’s but from what you’re saying 20k is alot for anything with 170k original miles. Even a Turbo Supra. I’ve heard plenty of times the twin turbo unit isn’t as reliable as a single turbo unit but I’m not sure what makes the twin unit unreliable enough to be mentioned so…

Tell them big boi sent you.

Nice job McParland, now please do the same for the east coast. I’ll get it started, Major World. Most craptastic dealer I ever dealt with.

Those deals in ads are almost always on one specific car and will have an inventory number or something in the ad, or at least it should. The plan is to get foot traffic and up-sell to a more expensive car on the lot.

The lack of enforcement and monitoring of car dealers is a national disgrace. I’ll add vitamins, cosmetics, nutritional & sexual supplements and hair loss marketing to the list, but since a car is the most expensive thing many will ever buy, the poor job by the FTC is especially appalling.

Ex: Pick a featured car on a…

Unless it’s a bmw dealer in Florida... where your car can “get misplaced” for three weeks.

I think they’re on Real 92.3 and followed Big Boy.
