Women - be prepared to be undermined and ignored at this dealership. My partner and I just purchased a new car through Southside Toyota, and I traded in my old car for a discount. While I am happy enough with the car I bought, I felt completely belittled and undermined by the staff at this dealership. When I traded my car in, the gentleman who was dealing with us took my keys and left me inside to evaluate the car on his own - he didn't want me to come with him. When he returned, he stopped making eye contact with me and offered a couple of hundred for the car, which was a 2009 model with relatively low kms. His reason was "it's a three door - people won't buy it". I am not familiar or comfortable with negotiating on prices, but I told him I was a little disappointed and he suddenly offered $1000 for it. I am shocked and surprised that in a matter of seconds his "evaluation" went from a couple of hundred to $1000. I wasn't entirely happy with this price either, but settled on it. When my partner arrived, the gentleman stopped talking to me and directed all communication to my partner, despite my name being on all the paperwork. Instead of feeling excited about the new car, I left feeling embarrassed and undermined. I can't help thinking that I was taken advantage of. In hindsight, I should have gone back to the Toyota dealership at Springwood... they didn't have the exact car I was after, but their service was impeccable. read more
