Finallly got my Pri - Gateway Toms River NJ Good

What a differance a dealership makes. One step inside the door and a whole different atmosphere - calm and not "rushed or nervous".
+1 - the car was ready and waiting for us to see
+2 - Jim Dennis was professional and KNEW what he was talking about when explaining the features about the car (and explained them in a manner that mechanically challenged me could understand or MR AUTO DH could to understand - if you get my drift)
+3 - when it came time to talk trade in, there was no sarcasm or belligerance (sp?), it was all said in a friendly, seemingly honest manner and my viewpoint was taken into consideration
Though we didn't agree on a number at that time we left on a good note and I would have gladly recommended him and the dealership.
He later left us an email with a revised offer. Unfortunately by the time we received it and agreed - the car had been sold. But - he agreed to hold the price and find us another car.
Here it is 3 weeks later. I had to expand my color choice so I now have Classic Silver instead of Seaside Pearl -which is a hunky dory color. But back to the pluses - picking up the car
+4 - told me a car would be in this week and it came in 5 days early- got it Saturday (ok-maybe they knew that-but it still earned them brownie points)
+5 - they DID hold the price even though my trade was a bit more (of course I wasn't going to pay July's car payment since I knew a Prius would be forthcoming soon)
+6 - at the last moment when I was ready to write my handy dandy Capital One check the finance guy actually told me that Toyota could give me a better loan rate - and they did. 6.55% vs 6.79% - so hey $7 a month is $7 a month
So Gateway gets it in my book!
Now I get to have fun with the car! heheh
