My Review of Lorensen Toyota:
Some things you should know: Never sign a blank contract. Check the coding for the package or options you are requesting and make sure it is listed correctly on the sales contract. Only sign a sales contract when everything you want is filled in and the bottom line price is complete. You do not have to pay for etching and you can do it yourself with a $30 kit. Cross it off of the contract. Conveyance fee is negotiable and not mandated by the state, no matter what they tell you. Check with CT attorney general's office for further info. Lorensen had the highest I ran into. The state does mandate that if there is a conveyance fee it must appear on the contract. It is preprinted along with the etching fee to make you think it is fixed. It's not. Make sure floor mats come with your car. You do not have to leave a deposit. In particular, do not leave a deposit while they are still searching for your car or to hold your price. Do your test drives and decide on the car you want, then negotiate by phone or email and ask for the "out the door" price including all hidden costs with a breakdown of each item. Once you have everything priced to your satisfaction, go to the dealership with your agreed upon prices and options. If the deal is different when you arrive, walk out.
