Magic Toyota - (425) 775-4422

I've been on the search for the past three weeks for a cherry 2003-2004 Corolla LE (must have sunroof!). Found one at Magic Toyota via CL. Chagrined however to find the negative comments, but not at all surprised. Dealerships are often high pressure, known for bait and switch and other nefarious tactics. I don't know why this is necessary or even tolerated in our society. It just pisses people off, and does NOT make for good business. Why lie and cheat, when you can simply make an up-front deal and be done with it? Car sales is like race memory, it gets passed down from old sales people to young, generation after generation, the same nasty habits. Note the great review by the person who supposedly purchased FJ Cruiser. I say "supposedly" because the Pro and Con look a bit too cute, like they were written by a sales team, not by a real customer. Shill reviews are common, thus I am suspicious. In fairness, I haven't had a chance to visit Magic Toyota. But reviews such as on this CitySearch page scare away business (including mine). I would suggest to anyone at Magic reading these reviews to make some internal changes if these customers were wronged as they describe.

I went in for a simple service and WOW!!! They took the time to explain everything they did to my car...They even opened my hood and pointed out every piece they replaced and serviced!!! I have never experienced this at any of the other local Toyota dealerships. Magic Toyota is my new home for SERVICE.

I went to Magic Toyota about two weeks ago to test drive a 2010 Corolla LE. At first the salesman was very helpful and informative until I told him that I wasn't going to buy it that day and I just wanted a quote because I wasn't completely sold on the car just yet. After haggling for about thirty minutes, he came back with a quote that was $16,888 with a $500 customer cash rebate and 0% financing for 36 months. I took that quote and gave him my contact information. The next week he must have called me at least once a day asking me when I was coming in to buy the car. I was quite annoyed and didn't really want to talk to him and told him that email was the best way to contact me basically so I can have everything in writing. I went back to the dealership today because I was ready to finally buy the car, but when I got there the car that I wanted was already sold so he showed me a 2009 LE. Since the 2009 is basically the same as the 2010, I decided that it was okay. Once I went into the office, he tried to tell me that the best he could offer me was MSRP which was nearly $19,000 when the week before he gave me a quote IN WRITING for $16,888 for a 2010. His reasoning was that the "Cash for Clunkers program makes it so that they no longer can give discounts" and that the quote he gave me before no longer applied which doesn't make any sense at all. He then proceeded to tell me that I would still be getting a good deal since there was a $1000 rebate which I can only use as a down payment. Again that doesn't make any sense since that didn't lower the price on the car at all. He acted like there were so many people that would love to buy this car for MSRP and that I would be making a big mistake to walk away as if there wont be any more cars tomorrow. I was so fed up that I walked out for the second time. I will never go back to Magic Toyota again even though I really wanted that Corolla. That was by far the worst car buying experience ever. I did not appreciate the bait and switch and all the high pressure sales tactics and lying to sell a car. NEVER GO HERE!!!!
