Dealer being a pain...HELP

[mutatio]

technically they shouldn't have offered you the discount without the financing going thru toyota (not the dealership's 3rd party lenders), but as noted, if it's in writing and they didn't do it right on their end, it's their problem. hell, one guy i talked to tried to bullshit me about the deal by telling me that i needed to have graduated recently (the offer also extends to people who will be graduating in the next 6 months) and that i needed to be working in a degree related job (complete BS, the offer simply says u have to be employed within 120 days of the deal being arranged).

btw, did u pay MSRP?

heheh, yeah they're pissed bc it came right off of their margins. with the college graduate discount they want u to use toyota's financing so they can absorb the cost a bit w/ the interest rate. offhand i know the base automatic sedan has about a $760 markup from invoice to MSRP, which only grows when adding accessories and features. unless u got a base model LB, u more than likely fell within a doable selling price but they just weren't prepared to sell at or around invoice. their bad. ;) :D

btw, what was your interest rate?
