Warning! Danger Ahead! Hyenas are out at Carson Toyota...do you know the tell tell signs of a hungry hyena? One sunny summer day I went to Carson Toyota based on a referral of a good friend who raved about the high quality service & integrity of Carson Toyota staff . I knew what I wanted & got straight to the point with the salesman re; the type of car & what I was looking to spend....I even had re-inforcments to make sure I would not be eaten up by the ""hyenas"" (salesmen & finance department). We negotiated the monthly payment & interest rate after they would not accept a loan check from Capital One with a trade in...sign #1 It turned out when we got to the final numbers guy the negotiation made with the salesman and closer didn't include all the details agreed upon...sign # 2. The numbers guy had lots of charisma & easily diverted our attention from the papers & agreement with his continuous jokes & references to his mother sign #3 before we knew it we were out the door & I was cruising my new ride. When I got home I had a message from the finance rep..I called him back & he said that I would receive a letter for declined credit but it was normal they use their own financing...sign #3. He quickly assured me that once people get to his office the deal is pretty concrete so not to worry...sign #4. I got a call at work approx 7 days later from the finance rep advising he had ""fantastic news"" & needed me to come down that evening to sign some ""additional papers"" sign #5. My husband & I arrived that evening & was greeted with "" I have some great news I found a bank, but your monthly payments & interest rate have increased my husband & I were floored so my husband asked him a serious of questions which the rep tapped dance around like fireworks were going off under his feet & tried his same charm ...the final sign. I had been hunted & wounded without a doubt so if you want the to be mangled the same as I was shop Carson Toyota...they will feast on you!
