Update 11/29/2020:
My husband and I went to Toyota Roseville at the Roseville Auto Mall in hopes of upgrading my vehicle and I left feeling demeaned, disrespected, and frustrated. My husband, who is a Veteran, and I were laid off our jobs due to COVID-19 back in March and we are finally stable enough to consider upgrading my vehicle which also happens to be at the end of its lease. Be that as it may, we were also celebrating our 10 year anniversary and we figured why not celebrate with a new vehicle. Of course, in the end, this would be my daily commuting vehicle. So this was my purchase and I was calling the shots. I was very firm about my price range and what I could afford for monthly payments to the salesman when he agreed to work with my husband and I. He showed us a few options until I found the vehicle that I fell in love with. The RAV4 XSE in this beautiful dark blue. It wasn't until later in financing, that they mentioned it was actually the newest 2021 model. Our salesman, a newer salesman, Ed V was fantastic and was very helpful. We enjoyed his enthusiasm. The major issue arose when we finally got to the financial process. The two "sales managers" that we worked with named, Tony and William, were uninterested in making a sale with me from the start. They were very short with their answers, their attitudes were aggressively pompous and negative. I felt completely dismissed because they wouldn't speak directly to me and made me feel like I wasn't a valued customer. I was specific on what I would have wanted to pay monthly in the leasing option but they kept trying to coerce me to pay $200+ more monthly than I could afford AND insisted I leave a 1,000 "down-payment" that doesn't even go towards the vehicle, it would go toward their own personal commission! We came to an agreement that if I had a cosigner, I could get a cheaper monthly payment but that didn't make a single difference. Totally disregarded. They continued to push their same agenda and weren't willing to talk about lower payment options whatsoever. They had one number and it was final. So I tried to compromise on a different model but to no avail. My heart was really set on my first pick. William was extremely pretentious during the final encounter and simply insisted "there's no way" they could help me. And to add more salt to the wound, he kept rolling his eyes and made snide comments to our salesmen after I had decided not to make a purchase and my husband explained he wanted to weigh other financing options for my current vehicle. He impatiently and in a taunting demeaner tried to sway my husband and I into financing my vehicle through Toyota as if it were our only option but we didn't want his further assistance by this point. He was so unhelpful and rude. He then left, leaving the conversation open ended, rolling his eyes, walked away without another word. I love Toyota but this was the most unpleasant experience. I feel completely dismissed. I do not plan to shop for my next vehicle or any of my future vehicles for that matter at the Toyota Roseville Auto Mall. I have referred countless of friends and family here for years but this experience changed my perspective drastically. I will tell everyone one about this experience in hopes that it doesn't happen to anyone else. These guys clearly only had one goal and it definitely wasn't quality customer service.

I always enjoy having to take my vehicle in for service and that's something you don't hear often. I've had great customer service. I'm especially thankful for my consistent service representative who is always eager to answer all the questions I have and converse naturally. I also have to mention that I'm still infatuated with my Corolla after two+ years together.
