My Review of Beck Toyota Scion:
My wife and I were in the market for a pre-owned Honda Odyssey. After days of searching online visiting autotrader.com and countless dealership sites, I knew what model and trim level I wanted. After narrowing down the search further, I began visiting dealerships with whom I've conducted business before to no avail, everyone wanted more than market value for their vans or the odometers were nearing the six digit range. After looking at a few vans in person, I found that interior cleanliness was next to impossible to find, even after going through respective dealerships' detail services.
I was frustrated to the point of defeat when I stumbled upon Beck Toyota's listing for a pre-owned 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L. They were about $2-3,000 cheaper than anyone else with 20,000 fewer miles than anyone else even at the higher price point. I called down to Mr. Dossett and asked him point-blank, "Is this thing clean? I've seen some trashed vans today and I don't want to drive down to Greenwood only to be faced with another dirty vehicle." Wendell assured me that he had taken the vehicle in on trade personally and that the vehicle was exceptionally clean, in and out, and that he'd driven it around the block as well.
Reluctantly, I went out on a limb and took his word for it, drove down to Greenwood and took the Odyssey out for test drive. The van was virtually perfect considering it's age and mileage, I didn't feel the need to haggle one bit on purchase price. Once I returned to the dealership, Wendell and I sat down and talked numbers, he had my trade-in appraised at a fair price, and we ironed out the details. All in all, a relatively painless process and welcome end to my used-vehicle buying experience.
The reason I feel compelled to share my excellent experience with the Beck Toyota team, from Mr. Dossett to signing the deal with Mr. Rose in the F&I department is great contrast it provides from my otherwise negative opinion of the buying process formed by dealership practices. I have been jerked around every way imaginable by numerous dealerships in purchasing vehicles for my wife and myself, as well as assisting friends and family get into the right vehicles, and have never had a better all-around experience than I did at Beck Toyota.
