"Toyota of Orange"

I went in 2008 to pick up a yaris from them since my friend bought his 2008 Corolla there for 14k with all of the do-dads and sport mode. He recommended me this Italian guy.

When I arrived the guy wasn't there so he brought his associate out to greet me. He said he remember me asking for a Yaris so he took me to all of the Yaris's across the lot. Unfortunately they didn't have the Yaris I wanted (which was essentially the base model with power doors and locks) and a -$2k off sticker (which was around.. 14.5k). So he brings me in and asks if I could possibly think of purchasing a Corolla instead (this was during the time when the APR for a corolla was 0.4% they REALLY wanted to get rid of it). I said no and left. I remember telling them if they get the model and price I wanted.. my dad will pay for the car. So we went to Garden Grove Toyota instead.

They had our model but in 2009. Fresh off the truck. Put a 3k DP on it with a 3% interest rate and a -$2.5k off sticker without that stupid low-jack feature. We got the deal. Bam out of there.

Following day the Italian guy returns and calls me on the phone. He asks if I was still interested in getting a Corolla. I /facepalmed in real life and said I bought a YARIS the initial car I wanted and still wanted at Garden Grove Toyota instead.

Would I go back to Toyota of Orange or the one in Tustin. Hell no. After what happened, naw~~~~~

I honestly love haggling because you don't know what the car's price was originally. It was probably a lot cheaper before and the price they have on the site is probably how much the dealer's cut is within the actual cost. So I really dislike the "no-haggling" feature scion has at their place.
