First they told me they could get me the new car I was looking for in the color I wanted. The salesman suggested we test drive the Rav4 on their lot even though it was not the color I wanted. He then told me (after the drive) that they could not get the vehicle I wanted, but he would give me a good deal on the one we test drove as it had been setting on their lot too long. When Derick and Duane bought the contract back, it was $460. OVER the sticker price on the vehicle and advertised price. To top this off, I had purchased a 2008 Corolla from Spartan Toyota just 1-1/2 years prior and I had already paid off the loan. They did all the service work on my vehicle and it was in excellent condition with no work needed. The contract the salesperson brought out listed a trade in value of $4,500. I was shocked, but wanted a new vehicle so bad I caved in. Imagine my surprise when in the next two days I saw my traded in vehicle listed for $11,995. on their website. This was a $7,480. profit for them just from my trade-in. I immediately contacted them and Lou the sales manager told me to come in and they would make this right. He said the best he could do was to give me $500. more for my trade-in Corolla, and $500. for the amount they charged over sticker price on the new vehicle. Needless to say, they made a huge profit from me. Spartan Toyota scammed me and low-balled my trade in to the point it should be criminal. I will NEVER recommend them to anyone. More

Our experience was very positive. Jason Husband is an outstanding salesman; Jim Keyton is an outstanding sales manager; and Shay Straayer is an outstanding business manager. We were able to lease a outstanding salesman; Jim Keyton is an outstanding sales manager; and Shay Straayer is an outstanding business manager. We were able to lease a 2011 Toyota Rav4 Limited, a high-end car we didn't think we could afford. But the Spartan staff helped us qualify for the college benefit for our son, which lowered the monthly payment. I have done a lot of research on crossover SUVs and visited several dealers. My wife and I appreciated working with this dealership most. More

The process via email, as well as at the dealer, were seamless. The sales staff and financial staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend working with this dealer. More

Thank you Spartan Toyota for allowing us to have a pleasurable car buying experience! More

I have bought several cars from Gerry at Spartan Toyota, and once again I walked away impressed. I am a single woman and they always take the time to explain things and they are honest as the day is long. I and once again I walked away impressed.

I had an absolutely great experience with this dealership. My old car was destroyed in a flood and my insurance did not cover it. While I have a good job and some credit, I had never financed a c dealership. My old car was destroyed in a flood and my insurance did not cover it. While I have a good job and some credit, I had never financed a car before. They went above and beyond to not only finance me, but to get me into a great certified pre-owned Rav4. My main goals were to get a certified car, preferably an SUV, with a 4cyl motor and good ground clearance. They originally had difficulty financing be due to my limited credit, but they found a vehicle that was an '06 instead of the '08 I wanted, and put a bumper to bumper warranty on it. They certified it and also sold me on some other great insurance packages like gap coverage and disability insurance. I feel incredibly confident working with this dealership and I really feel like not only did they find a perfect vehicle for me, they went above and beyond to get me financed for my first car loan.

For a certified car I was advised by them to buy a '7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty'. I realized later by looking at 'http://www.toyotacertified.com/' that certified means that the abo '7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty'. I realized later by looking at 'http://www.toyotacertified.com/' that certified means that the above is included. Not only that they will sell you not what you negotiated for but a completely different vehicle and charge you the same price. They are CHEATS. Beware. More

We tried to buy a 2010 Prius from this dealer. A sign on the rear view mirror of the car we wanted advertised the selling price as $2227 less than sticker. However, after they finished their creative math, the rear view mirror of the car we wanted advertised the selling price as $2227 less than sticker. However, after they finished their creative math, the actual discount was $360 below sticker. Also, the salesman showed us his laptop with the Kelly Bluebook page displayed with our trade-in on it; however, the prices shown were $1200-1600 less than what we saw on the Kelly Bluebook pages at home. When we later asked Kelly how this was possible, they suggested that Spartan Toyota was actually showing us the Wholesale Loan Value web site that is only available to dealers. As a result of all this, we did not purchase the Prius from Spartan Toyota. More

If you are considering buying a car from this dealer, I suggest you record everything they say or represent. I bought a used car that I was told was a new car trade-in. Was hesitant on the price, but w suggest you record everything they say or represent. I bought a used car that I was told was a new car trade-in. Was hesitant on the price, but was told there was a 150 point inspection so I can be assured everything works. The gas gage showed full as I pulled away. I didn't even get home before the car informed me it was out of gas. Turns out the gas gage was broken; a $300-500 repair. Also found in the car was a check list from Flint Auto Auction. I called and explained the problem, and was treated extremely rude. Was told if I wanted an extended warranty, I should have bought one. I explained the misrepresentation and the 150 point checklist and what was said to me and that this was a problem before I bought it. They didn't care. In my opinion, this dealer completely fits the negative stereotype of car salesmen! More

I was in on a Saturday haggling over the price of a used FJ Cruiser. I had lent them the keys to my truck so they could evaluate it for a trade-in. When we couldn't agree on a price and I turned to leave, I FJ Cruiser. I had lent them the keys to my truck so they could evaluate it for a trade-in. When we couldn't agree on a price and I turned to leave, I discovered I didn't have that set of keys. They said they didn't have them. I did have my backup set. I wnet out to my truck and kept looking for the original set. I returned inside, and finally, they admitted they had them. They all had a good chuckle about hiding the customers keys. At this point I realized I was back with the junior high pranksters. And I should trust these bozos? Oh I forgot. These are car salesmen! More
