Toyota Toyota Targeting Women Torrance California

To all consumers: Back in 2005, a friend of mine who was working at a Toyota Dealership in Arizona told me that Toyota's new target was WOMEN! He said that the Dealers in Arizona would deceive customers much the same way that Colorado Dealers would. In Colorado, the terminology used by the Dealer was called (quote)'The Monster Pencil'. This simply means that the Manager would inflate the monthly payment by $20 to $90 per month in hopes that the customer would sign and then EXTRAS, like warranties & insurance & higher interest rates could be put into the deal so the Dealership could make more money.

Keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with explaining a warranty to a customer and allowing a customer to make a decision about purchasing a warranty. The problem is when the customer does not even know that a warranty was included in the loan from the very beginning of the transaction.

'The Monster Pencil' that Colorado Dealers will use is called 'The Rocket Pencil' in Arizona. So, to avoid being attacked by a 'ROCKET' or swallowed up by a 'MONSTER', this is what you do: simply ask the Sales Rep to get the COMPUTER PRINTOUT FROM THE MANAGER. That's it! The computer printout will have a line by line explanation of EVERYTHING! Full Disclosure!

This way, you can see what the REAL payment is, to the penny! You'll see the actual price of the vehicle, dealer fees, taxes, interest rate, term, actual cash value of your trade-in, etc. etc. This way, you can make an intelligent decision about your purchase. The way it should be!

So, how do you know if the Dealer is tricking you? Simple. If you are shown monthly payments on a piece of paper with HAND WRITTEN FIGURES by the Sales Manager, you are being tricked! All the Manager has to do is hit the PRINT button on his computer and you can have FULL DISCLOSURE! So, if they won't do that for you, just walk out the door!

Even Toyota Corporate targets women! You can 'Google' the three words SEXUAL HARASSMENT TOYOTA and read about the $190 Million Lawsuit that a female employee filed against a TOP EXECUTIVE at Toyota! Keep in mind, Toyota is a PUBLICLY HELD COMPANY! The public has the right to know what is going on.

So, how do we as consumers spread the word about Toyota? Simple! Just put a small display ad in your Local Newspaper that says this-

GO TO ripoffreport.com and type in TOYOTA.

This simple ad will direct consumers all over the USA about the tactics that are being used at Toyota Dealerships and alert Toyota's CEO, Jim Press, that we are FED UP with Toyota's way of doing business! Please don't forget to 'Google' the two words ENGINE SLUDGE and read all of the complaints. Also go to www.9news.com and type in the name ORNELAS and search the story that made the Front Page of the Denver Post on 5-19-2005 and watch the VIDEO that made the 10 o'clock News on the #1 Most Watched News Station in Colorado, 9 News!

Good Luck to everybody.

Write a letter, you'll feel better!
