This was the most pleasant new car purchase I have ever made. I emailed Toyota of Tampa Bay and quoted what I was willing to pay for a Prius 3. Within five minutes, I received a phone call from Tom Jones, a salesperson withToyota of Tampa Bay accepting my offer. He told me they had two Prius 3s on the lot and invited me down to inspect them. I warned him that I did not want to waste time, and that my offer was firm. He assured me the price we had agreed upon was an out the door price. My wife and I drove down, inspected the vehicle, and made our purchase. There was no game playing, no hidden costs, no pressure from Tom Jones, just a very professional interaction. When I explained I needed to plate the care in another state, the staff at Toyota of Tampa Bay knew exactly how to handle the interstate activity. I intended to pay cash for the vehicle, but again the staff informed me that I had the option of no interest financing through Toyota. After being fully orientated to the car and its internet capability by Tom Jones, I drove off having paid nothing down, three years interest free financing, and very positive feelings about the entire interaction. I will certainly turn to Toyota of Tampa Bay for my next car purchase. I have finally found a dealer who does not make purchasing a car an ordeal.
