Dissatisfied with Jim Norton Toyota in Tulsa by twinmom73

I bought my van from Jim Norton Toyota in Tulsa, OK. I FINALLY picked up my Sienna XLE Limited yesterday. I placed my "order" in December! (more than 2 months wait!) Only contact I received on progress of order was when I asked what was going on. They were not proactive AT ALL.
 
But what REALLY bothers me is this: I told them my father was thinking of buying my trade-in. We talked about it for the 2 MONTHS it took for my van to come in. At the end, he decided he didn't want it and we did trade it in. I picked up my new van at noon yesterday. Last night, my father wished he'd kept my van, so I called them at 9:00 a.m. when they opened this morning, LESS than 24 hours after the deal, to see if they would trade a different car in or just take cash for the trade-in value.
 
These car dealers have their reputation for a reason - they would not reverse the 10 minutes of paperwork they had done, and even though they had done absolutely NOTHING to my trade-in, they almost TRIPLED the cost for us to "buy" it back.
 
I understand dealers have to make a profit, but their degree of greed and inflexibility is disturbing. I STRONGLY urge all Tulsans to look elsewhere for a better dealer.

would you please provide me with the name of the dealership, sales persons name and telephone number. I am looking for the same type of deal in the So, Cal region.
 
Thank You.

Hi Sethi,
Good luck with your van congrats! I'm still looking, but am more likely to get the Sienna now than the Odyssey. One local dealer who I have contacted before, said that the Odyssey doesn't have very good leases at all and couldn't have been more honest. He felt Toyota was way ahead in that department, but that Honda was doing well in overall price. Maybe next year (or next month) the Odyssey will be a better lease. Fortunately I like both vehicles. Gotta wait til April, when my other lease runs out. Not soon enough!

Please do not ask people to post names of salespeople or phone numbers as it is against the rules of the Forums. Dealership, city and state are fine.

irg,
 
Welcome to the Sienna club...i guess the current lease deal from TFS is over now...but a dealer should be able to give you as good a deal.
 
Hopefully I will be reading about your happy experience on this forum soon...

Mjill1,
 
You got that quote for a LE7 with package 6???? That should be your cost after tax, title and reg...If you live in MD, then you can't be buying a Sienna if you are not buying it from either Fitzmall.com or Darcars...You do know about the great internet pricing???
 
I was planning to come to MD and buy my minivan from Fitzmall.com, but they could not find my color, model and option package combination....
 
Hope all this helps some more...

Just an update--I contacted Fitzmall and got a great deal, much better than the current leasing deal. For a LE with Package 1 plus wireless headphones, cargo net, floor mats, and dealer-installed DVD, I was quoted a payment of $315 for 36 months with 15k mi/yr. Needless to say, I'm heading down to Maryland next weekend (from NJ) to pick up the car.

This quote was from a dealership in Waldorf, MD and while Fitzmall doesn't have the Sienna in the color or pkg. they can order for $500 deposit and stated the following:
 "Our pricing when accepting an order is $ 200 or $ 569 Over invoice for
our internet or value price. Choice is yours. The value price includes our
Lifetime loaner car program and lifetime buyer protection plan.
    Only additional charges are $99 processing fee and Tax Tag and Title
as applicable."
 
I don't understand why package 6 is not readily available? I really want the power seats and so that's my desire for package 6. While I like the Salsa Red Pearl - I not all that committed to that color, just the package.
 
Thanks again.

Hi,
 
I tried to buy my 2004 Sienna LE from the same Waldorf dealer but soon realized that they were way too dishonest for my money (and I dealt with a supposed sales manager). I ended up buying in Springfield VA but could have easily bought from Fitzmall (Montgomery County) as well. They don't play the games that most dealers do. As for the Walfdorf dealer's service department, they are pretty good. My Sienna has had a few recalls done there and they were efficient, thorough, and professional (as service dept's go). Good luck with your lease but be careful if you stay at the Waldorf dealer.
