This is an idea worth thinking about, since warranties can be carried from dealer to dealer. However, I get the impression that the OP got ZERO support from Toyota, and I suspect the OP's next car will NOT be a Toyota! Am I right, Vicar?

It sounds like the OP had a great experience buying the 2016. I spent a lot of time looking at cars at Phillips Toyota on two occasions only a few months apart and was surprised that there was nearly full staff turnover in those few months. That doesn't speak well about working conditions, that is, the way they treat their employees, and as a working person, this would concern me. Even though my experience there wasn't as disgusting as the OP's, I still ending up walking out and buying somewhere else.

I'm confused devohna. Did you mean a USED "GMC terain" from Phillips Toyota used car lot? You seem clear that it was a "new GMC terain." Besides possibly a used car, why would they sell a GMC at a Toyota dealership? After all, this thread is about the OP's awful experience at Phillips Toyota.
