Twice when I was looking to buy a new car I visited this Toyota Dealership and twice I had the same experience -- when the salesman learned that I was looking for a low end Toyota with not a lot of extras, his chipper demeanor changed to abrupt and disinterested. I had decided to give them another chance a few years after my first visit, but when the reaction was identical to the first time I vowed never to set foot on the lot again and to influence my soon-to-be-driving children to do the same....and I have kept my promise, even though I have been in the position to buy more than an inexpensive, stripped vehicle. I also had the distinct impression that I wasn't taken seriously because I was a female.
