Excellent Experience I have been to several dealers, and Toyota Sunnyvale was one of them.

Compared with others, only this dealer offered various nice vehicles for me, and moreover, a salesperson in charge, Jeffrey Lin, was really kind and had sufficient knowledge about used vehicles. In addition, after I bought the car, another salesperson, Nobu Ishihara, was also friendly and supported me in some cases, such as insurance plans. In total, although this dealer is awesome, it is more desirable if it discloses its new addres of the used vehicles office (it recently moved) soon as possible. More

I have to say that the three people I have interacted with (Ryan, Nobu, and Ken) are of amazing quality. Ken has been extremely kind and welcoming to me explaining all the financial details, while always smiling at me. Nobu has been extremely kind and friendly with his frequent calls and text messages. In addition, when there was a small problem with my car, he instantly gave me another vehicle as a replacement while this car is being fixed. Overall I am really pleased with the experience, and I recommend this dealer and the staff member to anyone who is looking for a car. More

I visited the dealership to buy prius or corolla with my wife last Sun. We had not decided details at all, but he generously explained pros and cons of the cars, and recommended the best model and options wife last Sun. We had not decided details at all, but he generously explained pros and cons of the cars, and recommended the best model and options for us. It actually took from 11am to 6pm to finalize the deal. I really appreciate his patience and I highly recommend Nobu. Thank you. More

He gave me time to make my purchasing decision as oppose to bombarding me with questions. I am very happy with my purchase as I did not have to worry with bargaining for the best price. I would definitely return to Mr. Ishihara for any future car purchases. More

My wife and I bought a new car at Toyota Sunnyvale, and we've been very happy with our experience there. Nobu is very professional and friendly. He showed us the different car models we were interested we've been very happy with our experience there. Nobu is very professional and friendly. He showed us the different car models we were interested in, answered all our questions in detail, and finally gave us a good deal when we decided on the car we liked. Throughout the process, he was straightforward with no hassle, gave us the time we needed to reach a decision, and never tried to pressure us into buying something beyond our price range or what we needed (which, if you've been out shopping for a car, know is a rare thing). He was also very helpful when we had some problems with the final paper work and straightened everything out for us. Nobu, by far, is the best sales person we have met since we moved to the bay area. Thanks Nobu. More
