Honestly, I went to 2 Toyota dealerships before I bought my Yaris. The first one had the Yaris I wanted, color and all, but the guy was a a jerk and I got a bad feeling right from the get go, so I walked . I forget what was wrong with the second Toyota dealership. Attitude, I think.

You're right. Most of the problems were with the dealership. I should have gone to a different dealer. This was my first experience buying a new car. The blame falls clearly on my inexperience.

Darn tootin'! I want my car to look pristine.

The title is in my father's name. We both signed the various papers the dealership presented since he was a joint-owner on the trade-in, but the dealership decided to put him on the loan. They did this despite the fact that we live in different states, I put the downpayment on the car, and I am paying for the car. I did contact Toyota Financial and they won't help.

I'll check the doors, handles, and etc. for rust tomorrow morning.
