This is true. I more have a bone to pick with intentionally misleading headlines. It sounds way more punishing for it to be the CEO, but that’s just not true. The author didn’t need to lie to get the point across.
You’d only be giving them money if it’s leased through a Toyota dealership or financed through Toyota’s loan department.
I have a RAV4 that I financed through the dealer when I bought it, but I refinanced that bitch after like 2 months. The interest rate was unbelievably high. Glad to know I’m not giving any more money to fascist bullshit.
Dealerships are such a giving scam! I worked at one when I first moved to a new town and the way they talk about customers behind their backs is disgusting! Truly dehumanizing them and turning them into nothing more than walking legal theft targets.
I also had the unfortunate experience of working at a dealership as my very first job and you are right. The level of customer service you get there is superficial and only extends to the veneer of courtesy they put up to lure you in. I would often hear service technicians and even some of the higher-ups complain about customers when they thought nobody else could hear them, or maybe they thought that since I was also in a customer service role, that I was “one of them” and would understand.
I’m thankful for my experiences in that job, however. I can’t ever be tricked by a charismatic salesman, because I know deep down that there’s a good chance that that salesman only sees me as a walking talking bag of money. I think that’s a big reason I would never fall for Trump’s grift either - he’s literally no better than a used car salesman.
Headline is wrong. Former CEO.
Fair call, but it’s worth adding he is still the chairman and part of the Toyoda dynasty and clearly representing the brand.

Oh thank God. I just paid off my Avalon and can’t really afford another car rn.
Well if it’s already paid off you’re not really giving them any more money so it’s fine right
I got it slightly used from not a dealership and got my own financing through my bank. So I extra didn’t give them shit!
