Lincoln Elston

Terrible experience with this dealer from the start, I inquired to lease a Tacoma online and received replies from Elston and Amanda. After a couple exchanges they agreed to match a deal from another deal inquired to lease a Tacoma online and received replies from Elston and Amanda. After a couple exchanges they agreed to match a deal from another dealer and then went silent when I asked if they can do better. I followed up and got no reply until reaching out to Buddy the Sales Manager which at that point Elston reached back out. Elston said they can only match which I said that is fine. At this point the original Tacoma I inquired about sold and then another one they had coming in was promised to me which you guessed it was also sold but they then promised a third one that was in transit which Amanda put in the system that it is sold to me. With the Tacoma being tagged to me Amanda asked me to fill out the credit app to start the whole process and have everything ready when the truck arrives. With everything happening with Covid and weather the arrival of the Tacoma was pushed back couple times which I learned only by reaching out multiple times to Amanda to get a status update as I was in the dark. I asked Amanda if she can get one from another dealer but she said no one is willing to trade for it so I kept waiting for this one to arrive. Finally the Tacoma was supposed to arrive and Amanda promised she will let me know the second it gets to the dealer. Well I only learned the Tacoma got there by checking their site daily and I text Amanda saying looks like it arrived according to the dealer website. I let her know I can be in on Saturday to pick up. Amanda replies saying she will check if the Tacoma did arrive and at that point she informs me the Tacoma was traded to another dealer by another manager. At this point I am puzzled somehow a car tagged with my name in the system was traded to another dealer in less than 24 hours. Amanda’s suggestion was for me to contact couple local dealers she thinks have the Tacoma in stock and have them match the deal as no one will trade with them for it. I told Amanda to have a manager reach out to me but never got a call. In the end all I got was empty promises and a hard pull on my credit history. Go else where customer service is awful in every way. More
