My Review of Fowler Toyota:
The sales guy, David B., was great. The finance people are there to RIP YOU OFF. They made me wait for about 1 1/2 hours, and in retrospect I feel as if they did it simply to wear me down and make me sign anything to get out the door. It's my own damn fault for signing anything when I was tired, but BEWARE -- Do NOT agree to any additions to your agreed-upon sales price. The finance guy said, "For an extra $8 per month, you can get all this coverage." He was LYING. It turned out to be an additional 35% over the sales price, and I feel as if I was totally screwed. I have a graduate degree, and I'm an intelligent person, but I was tired and felt like I was completely taken advantage of. I had bought three previous cars from Fowler, but it is NOT the dealership that it used to be, and I will NEVER return. The moral of the story is, do NOT believe them when they say it's just a few extra dollars per month. They are going to rip you off and make you pay hundreds for extras that do not make a lick of difference in the quality of the deal -- it is totally a case of "additional dealer profit." I will never buy another car from them again, and they are no better than the slimiest bad-suit-wearing, corner-parking-lot, lemon-selling rip-off joints on this planet. FOWLER TOYOTA SUCKS!!!!!

My Review of Fowler Toyota:
I have already submitted a review about Fowler Toyota, and the car they sold me with the bondo all over it. I really need to add this information. Especially to the people that will only buy certified cars. Fowler sent some of their people to look at my car (with the bondo all over it) to the auto body shop. They were very rude to my auto body man. Then they told him "You know there are ALOT of GREY AREA'S to work around when it comes to a certified toyota car. You can have damage to at least 3 sides of the car, and it can still be a certified car." So who knows what else they allow. I just had to write this to make people aware of what they might be buying!!!!!!!

My Review of Fowler Toyota:
I have purchased 4-5 cars from this dealer and never have had a bad experiance till now. In 2006 I bought a 2005 toyota solara. I was kind of talked into going over my budget a little, but that was OK. Recently my car was hit in the front end. To my surprise when I took it to an auto body man, the headlights were GLUED into the body. There were screws holding the front end together with BONDO over the screws. This was a certified toyota used car. No one could have taken the time to go over this car. SO IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A GOOD USED CAR BEWARE!!!!!!!! ANY ONE CAN MAKE ANY THING LOOK GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

My Review of Fowler Toyota:
I read the last review about Fowler and wanted to say that my experience there was a complete opposite. The internet dept. was very informative and they were able to answer all of my questions about these vehicles. They got me the best price and helped me with everything. They got me straight with the new car manager and he helped me pick out the perfect car for my wife. I would recommend them to everyone I know and will be shopping there for many years to come. Thank you Fowler for the best car buying experience ever!!

My Review of Fowler Toyota:
Called to inquire about a deal on a 2006 used Toyota Highlander. I specifically asked if the vehicle I was looking at on the internet actually did have the side impact airbags as advertised because these are difficult to find on the 2006 model. I was assured that the vehicle had the side impact airbags as advertised. The internet salesperson I spoke with on the phone even said she went to check to make sure it did. The next day when I got to the dealership and looked at the vehicle in person it did not have the side impact airbags and the vehicle had 2500 more miles than was advertised on their website. They then offered to show me the new 2007 Highlanders that have the side impact airbags. I thought the old bait and switch went out of style years ago. Guess I was wrong. Left the dealership and will never go back.
