When first approved it was 2000 ish down then calling back sometime later it was 3500 ish down. Was it my credit score? I’m not hallucinating !!!
Nov 14, 2025
Response from current dealership:
Hello Lynn, there are several reasons why the down payment changes: credit score, different vehicles, bank requirements, and monthly terms. I am not sure what exactly happened. Feel free to call the dealership and ask for Janine and I can take a look at this. Thank you for your feedback.
The car was wonderful, but unfortunately the salesman was a bit pushy. I was somewhat put off by the ultimatum of
agreeing to his offer by 3:00 that afternoon or the deal was off. Why wouldn't the deal survive into the following week
when I had time to think about it? Might revisit this car if the dealer eases off a bit and is willing to negotiate.

Very nice people. Very helpful.

Overall experience was immaculate sales personnel was very experience and informative.
Lisa was very rude once she knew I was from out of state. She didn’t want to talk if I didn’t put a deposit down. Thanks anyway, brought a new one with 13 miles on it.

Response from current dealership:
I am sorry to hear you had this experience. Since your account is an alias I can't follow up with Liza to learn more about the situation. We work with out of state buyers every day and are happy to walk customers through the process of purchasing further from home. Glad you found a good vehicle for you.

It was bad, I got a call from them telling me that they have the car available and made an appt to see it on the same day and when I got to the dealer I was told the car was sold but they had another one for 9/k mileage, they should it called me and ask me if I was still interested in another car, the sales rep. did bring me the car to see it and went back inside and didn’t bother showing the car, car wasn’t even worth it, a total waste of time!!

Vehicle was not as advertised. Gurus said moonroof....dealer said no moonroof/sunroof. Quick
response~

Good people but we only have 20 K and our truck and made no deal for such amount, we are too old and the economy is not in such good
condition to make a loan. I wish we could take this Toyota of their hands though :(

Response from current dealership:
Hi Carl, I am sorry we couldn't sell this one for the amount you had. I am sure the perfect vehicle is out there for you.
Excellent car buying experience. The dealership is clean and professional . The cars are at a good price point and well maintained i.e. the breaks and tires have been replaced . The staff, Liza and Greg, are direct, knowledgeable and ready to help. We recommend.

We would recommend Star Auto Sales to anyone!
We had a specific car in mind to purchase and with the help of Car Gurus found Star Auto Sales in Connecticut.
Even though the dealership is 2 ½ hours from our home in NY the people and service at Star made the long trip
worthwhile. We had a fabulous experience working with our salesperson Liza! She has a caring approach and is
a true professional. She was happy to answer all our questions and made it a point to be sure we knew
everything necessary to make an informed decision. The finance manager, Gary was equally as wonderful. Once
we decided to purchase, he made the rest of the process painless. He knew all the ins and outs of making an out
of state purchase. It was a true pleasure to purchase at Star and there was absolutely no pressure at all. We
were really pleased with the knowledge, skills and friendliness of the entire staff. Every Star employee that
passed through the showroom greeted us and other customers. Great service a

Purchased 2016 Toyota Tundra and couldn't be happier. All the staff were very helpful. They took care of a recall that I had asked about. The vehicle was clean and went thru second safety check. I would recommend this dealer to a friend and would do business with them again. Thank you for making my buying experience easy!

Great prices, Great vehicles, Great customer service. Liza is awesome.
I have had a great experience working with Star Auto Sales. I submitted an email request for information and Liza responded promptly. I set an appointment for a test drive and they had the car washed and ready for me. After the test drive, Liza gave me space to look the car over without any sales pressure or hovering. I purchased the car for an excellent price and got good financing through their finance dept. Easiest car buying experience I have ever had!
Dec 15, 2018
They are experienced sale associates with great customers service.
Sep 12, 2018
All good.
I sent them an E-Mail requesting them to E-Mail me the car's Carfax
Report. Instead, they tried to get me to come in and test drive the car:
They also said someone would call to answer all of my questions.
All I wanted was to see the Carfax Report. They could not accomplish
that simple request so I have dismissed them as a possible place to do
business with.
We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a minivan from Steve. It was a great experience and a no pressure no hidden fees. We already knew what we were looking for Steve showed us the Carfax and let us take it for a test drive. There was no hard pressure tactics and drive away very happy. We are telling all our friends about this great dealership.

These guys put customer service first. They always greet new people and I had a great experience. Found the car I wanted online, I drove down, they let me test drive it with my family BY OURSLEVES! Steve is THE friendliest guy and Gary the manager gave my family a great deal on our new Subaru Legacy! Definitely recommend this dealership. These guys should be Rockstar auto because they ROCK!

I was very pleased with my experience at Star Auto. The staff was very friendly and polite. Thorough in answering all my questions and explaining every detail.

I had the best experience at Star Auto. Steve was very helpful and knowledgeable about the 2014 Honda CRV. Everything went so smooth and fast from the beginning process to the end. Thank you Steve and Gary! Best experience ever.
Nov 14, 2017
It was an absolute pleasure! Liza greeted me with a smile and couldn't have been more helpful! The car was everything they advertised it to be and for me it turned out to be the perfect fit. I am still in the process of securing the purchase but I have every confidence that the delivery will be as effortless as the sale. I would recommend this dealership to anyone! They are good people.

Dealer was quick to respond.
Oct 9, 2017
call, setup an appointment, then they called back saying the car that was listed for 6 months sold in the last 5 minutes, they probably just forgot they still had it listed.

Response from current dealership:
Hi Bradford,
This is Janine the owner at Star Auto Sales. I spoke with our sales staff and they confirmed you made an appointment last week and between the time you called and your scheduled appointment, two days later, the vehicle you were interested in sold. Yes, that unit had been here for close to 6 months which is why I aggressively priced it. Sometimes it is a good vehicle and I hang onto it until it finds a home. I am so glad you received a call a day before your appointment so you didn't waste your time coming all the way here. I would consider that more than three star service.
