My Review of Pedersen Toyota :
THIS IS THE WORST DEALER EVER! THEY WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF LIKE CRAZY! GO BUY YOUR VEHICLE ANYWHERE ELSE!
They were friendly because all they saw were dollar signs, which isn't really friendly at all. They allowed me to test drive whatever I was interested in while telling lies through their teeth.
They said they'd give me $2000 for my trade-in and cut me a deal of $6000 from $7254 on a truck. They said that at the price it would be around $140 a month. When we sat down to talk a deal, they offered a firm $100 for my trade-in, started at $300+ a month and then refused to go below $213 a month, and it took an hour of negotiation to get them down to $6250. Plus every time they were asked what the interest rate was, they eluded the question by saying they "don't know, the manager calculated it. I'll go ask him..." and then coming back with a whole new offer lower than the previous to distract from the interest rate questions. I calculated the rate they tried to sell me at online at home and it was an OUTRAGEOUS 22.5%!!! And I have good credit and the credit reports/score to prove it! They were trying to rip me off like crazy! They saw some young guy with a great job and thought they'd take full advantage and try to rip me off on the financing!
They said the '97 truck I was interested in had no mechanical defects, was rated to haul 5200 lbs, and would easily haul my apartment in the back and in a trailer across the country. My mechanic said oil had leaked from either the head gasket or from the valve head cover, but couldn't tell which one would need replaced because they had power washed the top of the engine. My mechanic also said it was only rated to haul 4000lbs and that if I loaded it with my furniture and then also attached a trailer of furniture, I'd burn out the transmission, breaks, possibly the engine, and more before I got across the country. The dealer desperately argued that the mechanic was wrong, and then immediately tried to sell me another vehicle that was $13000 more!
This dealer is HORRIBLE!
