Toyota dealerships near me (Valdosta, GA)

MY TIME WAS WASTED: I negotiated pricing on a 2026 Toyota Corolla via email after connecting through CarGurus. During the email exchange, I requested non-contingent finance pricing. I clearly stated that if pricing was contingent on financing with the dealership, I would not be coming in and moving on with another dealership. After that clarification, the dealership provided an out-the-door price that was represented as non-contingent on financing, which is the only reason I traveled to the dealership to purchase the vehicle using my own financing in tow. When I arrived, the vehicle had over 1,500 miles, and I was told it had previously been sold and returned after financing fell through, information that had not been disclosed beforehand. I was also told that the non- contingent pricing provided via email could not be honored unless I financed with the dealership. Because the terms presented in person differed from what was confirmed in advance, I chose not to proceed.

My wife and I drove over 5 hours toward this dealership with the expectation of making a trade in with some cash exchange on our part which we had discussed and agreed upon with them previously. About 2 hours from the dealership I informed them that I would be about an hour and half later than planned due to some traffic holdup and a longer travel time. About 1 hour from the dealership I got a call telling me that the vehicle that we planning on getting had just been sold. The salesperson said that they had similar vehicles on the lot that we could look at. We said no thanks. Seems too coincidental that this vehicle just happened to be sold right before we get there after being on the lot for days. Left us with noting that we were left with wasted gas; time; mileage on our vehicle; and a distrust of this dealership.
