I just bought a used Dodge Ram Truck from Beaverton Toyota near Portland Oregon and I could not be happier!! I know that most reviews of things are based on buying something new, but I wanted to talk about the way I was treated by this company and how I wound up buying what I did.
First, I guess like a lot of people, I have had some ?credit challenges? due to all of the issues our economy had faced over the last few years. I make less money now, and I am doing a different job. My new job (I?m now self employed) really requires that I drive a truck because I have to haul things and go off road some. So I did the whole research thing and decided on a Toyota Tundra. Further research and asking around to my friends led me to Beaverton Toyota.
Well we all know that there is a recall issue going on right now, so the Tundra was out. Not really sure I buy into that Toyota recall thing, but whatever. Anyway, regardless of the Tundra, I do have some credit bumps and bruises?and a few sucking chest wounds as well. So the sales guy I was working with said he would go to work for me. I?m thinking ya ok whatever! So I give him my info with the hopes that he will call me back some year to tell me that I can?t get approved.
In the meantime, I go across town to check out a few new Dodge Trucks. I really like Dodge Trucks. I mean I know they are probably not as good as Toyotas are, but I?ve owned a few and they never left me on the side of the road and they hold up good. So the sales chick at the Dodge Store tells me she can get me approved on a new one and that the payments would be like $510 a month. This was for a stripped down but NEW 2009 model. I am tempted, but decide to wait a few days.
The next day, the guy from Beaverton Toyota calls me and tells me he has me approved and has a great truck for me. So I go back over there, and he shows me a loaded used 2008 Dodge Truck 4X4. It has 9,200 miles on it, leather, 4 doors?everything!! And it is only $200 More than the New 2009 Bare Bones Stripped Down Truck the Dodge Dealer showed me. So get this?The Nicer Used Truck is $200 More, but the monthly payment for the same term was $53 dollars LESS!!
So Beaverton Toyota SAVED me $3,180.00 over that other dealer on a Much Nicer Truck!! What?s not to like about that?? So I give Beaverton Toyota Five Stars for being Honest, Friendly, Helping Bad Credit, and Great Deal!!
Pros: Told me the truth, Help with Credit, Cheapest Price Payment
Cons: none, zero, nadda!!
