I can't believe there's a New Car Franchised Dealer in the United States, who would refuse to return a deposit, unless it was an extremely unusual situation.

Toyota dealerships are among the most profitable of all manufacturers. Refusing to return a deposit and risking a negative CSI return, is something that no Toyota dealer would ever do. The franchise is too valuable and negative CSI returns cost significant money.

If either of those stories happened, it had to be 30 years ago, in a parallel universe.

My posts are factual and accurate. If I make a mistake, I acknowledge it and I correct it. I have no reason to make stuff up.
