I orginally owned 2 Toyota 2002 Prius that were purchased at Dorshell Toyota in Rochester New York. So when I was ready to buy another car I stayed local and went to Kent Brown Toyota in Elmira. At the time of the new pruchase I had about $4000.00 remaining on the old auto loan. So they stated that Toyota would only do the loan if the $4000.00 balance from the old loan was included in the new loan.
Also I was talked in to the extra car care coverage and extra maintainance, which increased the loan another $4300.00. So to make a long story short... My $21000.00 car in now costing me $34000.00 and a car payment of $800.00 a month.
Within the first month I went back to Kent Brown very unhappy with the gas mileage of 40. My old Prius got 52.
They passed me off stating after the first oil change I should get better. I didnt. I went back in and wanted to know if I could work out some kind of deal exchanging the prius for a camry. They laughed at me and said I would have to pay them an extra $7000.00 on top of the trade to even talk. I will never go back to Kent Brown Toyota and have expressed the way I have been treated to friends who was thinking of going to them.
I am a 50 year old, single mom of 3. 2 in college and a 10 year old. I have owned my own Medical Equipment since 1984 and would never treat my customers in this matter. I was taken advantage of because I am a women. Can you help me in anyway? I would be greatfull for any help you can give me.
