My Review of Melody Toyota:
This dealer is dishonest.

My wife and I went to this dealer for a Highlander around 12:20pm. At the beginning, we didn't want to give offer, but salesman kept inviting us to office. After negotiated to his manager, we got an offer and was told "this is the offer for today". We told him we would make decision in 1 or 2 days and left.

At 5:00pm, we decided to buy it and called salesman. She then called manager and told us that her manager didn't agree the offer any more, and asked for $1000 up. I also called the amnager and he added $3000 to original offer and said the original offer was a "mis-communication". This "mis-communication" is impossible bacause we negociated the price serveral rounds and the salesman knew that. I am very surprised at the way they do business: I don't care they reject my offer, but I believed they should keep their offer! This is a very bad experice and I will never go to this shop!

My Review of Melody Toyota:
Supposedly, this is rated as the cheapest and best dealership in the Chinese newspapers. So I went to visit them. When I drove up, one of the sales person was in the front and saw me drive up but ignored me. Then, I walked into the sales area and literally stood there for 5 minutes until the guy behind the counter asked me if I have been helped. I was already pissed by now and then I said no. He said, "well, there's only 1 hour left." I was thinking...if I was a sales person, I would go all out and help the customer. then i walked away and they sent another sales person after me. it was ridiculous! I don't understand why they feel they can get away with this bad service? My recommendation i to do all the negotiating via email or on the phone. I haven't had one decent experience yet.

My Review of Melody Toyota:
This dealership really knows how to rip you off and use sleezy tactics to get you to buy a car from them. They are un-ethical and dishonest. I went in looking for a car and this saleguy kept asking me what I wanted as the price of the car and when I told him I wanted $4K off MSRP and I had a trade-in, he came back that if I wanted that much off MSRP (EVEN THOUGH THEY ADVERTISED IT), I would get less for my trade-in. I could accept that if it wasn't for the fact that the value they gave me for my trade-in was LESS THAN HALF of the trade-in value from the Kelly Blue Book! He told me that I would get more for my trade-in if I was willing to take less off MSRP.

I proceeded to leave the dealership but then ran into the desk where they had the AAA fleet sales guy and asked him what pricing he had and he quoted me something that was about $3200 off MSRP but of course there would be no dealership discount and when I asked what the trade-in would be, he said it would be the same price as what the other sales guy told me. I said that the other sales guy never gave a real price for the trade-in since he gave me a value of the trade-in based on the price I wanted for the car. He was very rude after that and basically told me that the trade-in value was what I was given.

As I was driving out of the lot, one of the other managers came running after me and told me that he wanted my business and to tell him what happened. After I told him, he proceeded to ask me to wait 5-10 minutes so he could see what happened with the trade-in and when he came out, he quoted me a trade-in value for my car twice over what the original price was! I was very angry at this point but he apologized and said he wanted my business and would do anything to get that.

Needless to say, I did not buy the car from them. They are dishonest and really sleezy and their salespeople are rude! I don't know what games they are playing, but I will never go back to this dealership and will spread the work of how awful they are anywhere I can.

My Review of Melody Toyota:
The sales are ok, but the finance people made a mistake by getting the wrong credit score and I was mislead to sign the contract with higher interest rate. &#161;@they got the 0 score from experian and i told them it was impossible since i got so many credit lines from so many credit cards. i don't know what happen to experian either (by the way, experian sucks, but all bankers look at their score)<br><br>Later on i found out from transunion and equalfax that i got much higher score around 700-800, so i went back to them and tried to get something back, such as changing the contract using different bankers. Also, at first after i signed the contract i had some questions so i told them to hold off to my contract but they didn't and sent!!!! They kept telling me it wasn't their fault that they didn't put the effort of finding the best score and interest rate for me. I told them i would not walk away from this and will bring this to the court. You know what they said &quot;Go ahead, we have lawyers!&quot;<br><br>Sales people to be watched out: sales manager (forgot his name, but i think he is the Indian guy), finance manager Mark Liu!
