Mine came with the carpet floormats and hitch with no cover. I asked the salesman where is the cargo net, spider net, valor tip, and hitch cover? He said those were accessories that i had to buy. So i told him i am not buying an incomplete "Limited" 4Runner b/c it looks ugly without them. I even showed him the brochure how it suppose to look like. The salesman went to the parts section and asked who prepped the rig? After 20 minutes, there it was. He apologized it took a bit longer b/c they had to install them. After signing a whole bunch of papers, i asked if i could borrow his philip screw driver. Then i took off the dealer plates in front of him. He asked why? I told him that they do not own the 4R anymore. The bank does as a lienholder under my name unless the dealership pays me $20 a day to advertise their business.

definitely not a fan of longo. when i was buying my 4runner, we were at longo negotiating a price on the SR5 4wd V6. they were totally giving me the run around, so i called Toyota of Hollywood in front of the Longo guy. they had 2 SR5 4wd V8's (black and white) and were selling for cheaper than the Longo guy was selling the V6. if the longo guy would've matched the price on the V6 we would've signed papers. he didn't. we told him we were going to leave and he was all, "they probably don't have it they're just trying to get you down there." so called toyota of hollywood back, told 'em to hold the black one and i was on my way. got a killer deal on the 4Runner, and then a week later the longo guy has the audacity to call me back and be like, well we could've offered you the same deal . . . why not?

anyhow, i've subsequently helped an ex and a family member buy a couple more cars at toyota of hollywood and i've always gotten amazing deals there. way below invoice (which is all smoke and mirrors anyway). they have yet to let me down.

I leased my wife's new Prius Pkg V at Longo last Feb 2011 and got the deal of a century. The car was detailed when we arrived and paperwork was printed ready for our signatures when we got there. (Call ahead and do the application w/Toyota online if you are financing) I went through the Internet Dept and used Eddie Afra. Spent about 45 min total there from "Hi" to "Bye" handshake.

I went back this Jan 2012 and bought my 07 V/8 Runner Limited for less than $15k(that's another deal of the century in my mind) the vehicle was ready to go, service history provided and paperwork printed and ready to sign---spent 45 min to drive off again. I've owned TONS of vehicles and never has buying/pricing been this easy for me. BMW & Mercedes have been the only other makers that have given this type of service and respect to my time.

Build a relationship with one guy and "use him" He makes a living doing this and will take care of those taking care of him. My guy Eddie has gotten 4 deals from me and friends/co-workers since selling me the 1st one in Jan last year. He gets paid on volume not the cost, so he wants what I want...to make it quick and painful and let's both move on til the next one.

It's nice to know about your experiences and I just wanna share mine,too. I was going to a family member in Atlanta, and they needed to go car shopping. I showed them the website I used when I needed a brand new car. It was great because it helped us find a Toyota car dealership near their home. It was fast and easy to get the car. At Sandy Springs Toyota you'll get the best quality sports car buying experience achievable. So explore Atlanta GA today.

Used Car Department must be better than the New Car Department...

Now their Service Department ROCKS!

Tried to pick up a new vehicle from them and the GAMES they played, back and forth, DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA....

I never just walk-in. I always contact the internet mgr or fleet or whatever they call it at each dealership. Those guys agree on the price themselves and get most of their pay based on volume, not how much you pay for the vehicle. This guy generally wants you out of there as fast as possible so he can get on to the next customer and stay volume focused. This works for me. I don't need explanations of features and extended drives, etc...I look it over, make my decision, make my ONE offer and he either takes it or not. If so, we shake, wrap it up and go to the finance office. If not, I shake hands and immediately get to stepping. There will never be a bunch of back and forth with me. I realize I'm the one with the money, so I'm the one in control from 1st handshake to last. They get you when you show them you have found "the one"

There is no "one" I can find another, buy another and this one won't be the last one either.
