The sales guys in Houston aren't bad at all, very friendly lol.. Is the guy still working there?

When buying may matrix the "salesman " knew nothing about the car. Kinda sad being it was a Toyota dealership lol I asked the manager in charge of the used cars if the sale could be given to no one since the guy did nothing to help me at all to get the car but Idk if he actually did get a sale or not

Gotta love wanting to drive a used car on the lot and you know more about the car than the salesmen do..

Update to my story.

So, as expected, I get a call. Guess he wanted to make sure as not to wake me as he called at 10am on the dot. I see it's an unfamiliar area code, and correctly assume it's him. He leaves a voice mail, and tell me he's just getting ready to send to the pictures. What does he do? He sends the "pictures" to my email, which means he never needed my damn phone number. Oh, and the "pictures" he sent? It was the one below. Yes, one. From the driver-side front looking back. No interior shots. No engine shots. No pics from the back. Just the one pic.

One of these days I might find a salesmen I actually like. I also might win the lottery, get struck by lightning, or even walk again....



BTW, I actually called back requesting more pics, and was informed the car already sold. The search continues.

So, I'm on my way back from a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas and decided to check if there were any "New Results" on my autotrader search criteria, and what pops up? The same car mentioned in the OP, now with 25+ pics and a "Reduced!" price, and at the same dealership. Guess I'll be calling the same jacka$$ car salesman again tomorrow.

Good stuff! Let us know how the bastard reacts when you tell him you want the car.

How was your cruise ?

Didn't get a chance to call today. Checked tonight, and the car is gone again from autotrader. Oh well...

The cruise was pretty fun. Never had been on one before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Most everything was wheelchair accessible, and it's nice being waited on 24/7. Food was also top notch. We were on a 7 day cruise on the Carnival Magic out of Galveston, Tx. We had stops in Key West, FL, Freeport, Bahamas, and Nassau, Bahamas.
