Reviews:

I have had a very bad experience with this dealer. Go to Ocala and see the dealer there. This is not a company with which you will be happy doing business, expecially if you are a woman alone. They`ll walk right over you.

Horrible sales department

Don`t waste your time here unless you like being lied to, cheated, and having your time wasted. The sales staff have not reached the maturity of 5 year old brats. The manager actually stomped out of the room like a kid throwing a tantrum when he did not like my offer. These folks are blatant liars. If you do end up buying something here, check your contract very carefully. As the previous reviewer said, some o... view moref us have learned the hard way that this dealership is just plain crooked. Imagine the typical crooked car salesperson times ten.

The absolute WORST dealership and staff. HORRIBLE!

I purchased a vehicle from Gatorland Toyota. I was told the car was 100% and without a doubt the nicest in the country. The car was anything but. The tires were awful, to the point of unsafe. The staff AND the management were the absolute rudest people I have ever dealt with. Every aspect of Gatorland Toyota is horrible. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this place as you can. Trust me, myself (and from t... view morehe looks of all the other bad reviews) and others have learned the hard way to stay away!

Dishonest and rude sales department

Beware this dealership. I negotiated a price for a car there and received a document listing the sales price and what the sales person said would be the full amount after taxes and fees. I gave them a check for the full amount as a deposit and made an appointment to finalize the paperwork and pick up the car the next day. Despite the appointment, they made me wait three hours the next day before the accountant was... view more ""unavailable"". During those three hours, I and one other customer appeared to be the only customers in the store, and the accountant sat alone at his desk the entire time I was waiting. When they finally gave me the paperwork, I found that their ""estimate"" from the night before was too high. They padded their estimate of the out-the-door amount from the night before and then increased the sale price of the car in the actual paperwork. The sale price of the car that was listed on the paperwork was higher than the price that we had agreed on the night before, and there was that typical crooked dealership addition of a mysterious ""Electronic Filing Fee"". Because I caught their ""error"" before signing anything, they recalculated based on the original price. They would not remove their precious ""Electronic Filing Fee"" though. (I recommend going to the dealership in Deland. They quoted exact amounts of all taxes and fees by email and were very straightforward with their offer. Unfortunately they did not have the vehicle I wanted so I could not purchase through them.) After the sale was over and I had the car at home, I discovered that in addition, the paperwork from the first night had a subtraction ""error"" that increased the negotiated price by $10 in their favor. I`m pretty sure the ""mistake"" was intentional, but let`s say we give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it was a mistake: If a dealership is so stupid that they cannot even perform simple addition and subtraction, not exactly a ringing endorsement. In total, Gatorland`s deception resulted in my paying them $70 more than I would have paid had they not been deceptive. It really is rather pathetic that they feel this is a good way to do business. They are loosing way more than $70 in any service and future sales that they might have gotten from me had they just been honest. If you must go to Gatorland Toyota, avoid the sales person named Sarah, bring a calculator, and go thru the paperwork with a fine tooth comb.
