Buyer beware phillips toyota, leesburg, fl
 
BUYER BEWARE, PHILLIPS TOYOTA is selling a 2016 RAV4 LIMITED HYBRID, we previously owned. They have the car because they were unable to diagnose why the car's battery would periodically drain for no reason .They previously replaced the battery, but that did not resolve the problem. We were unable to start the car or get into the car when this happened.

I no longer felt confident driving the car as I would not know when this would occur.

Please check with the Better Business Bureau and Seniors Against Crimes about Phillips Toyota standing.

STOCK #80280A

If it was a lemon buy back, the title must be amended

My neighbor had that problem with a VW beetle and ended up going to court and lost. Ends up the problem was with the CD changer that on his model was located in the trunk. Power was always going to it and they only drove the car on occasion. He used to keep a trickle charger on it until the problem was discovered several years later.

Do yourself a favor. Go into Orlando for a fair deal as well as a much larger inventory. Our Phillips experience was too reminiscent of a bad used car sales pitch. We left, bought at Toyota of Orlando. Very professional and a nice experience. Plus we saved money to boot.

When we bought my wife new car, it was the most pleasurable experience ever--all initial paper work was done by the dealer-sent the dealer copies of out licenses, put down $5k via credit card--the sales person delivered the car to our house & took our trade back to the dealership
did all the paperwork on the dining room table--never set foot in the dealer ship

Two weeks ago I bought a 2017 Camaro Fifty "50th Anniversary" Edition from an Orlando dealer, it was a very smooth operation. The sales people used no pressure at all and gave me more than I thought I would get on my trade. The car looks just like this;

So, is Phillips Toyota selling a lemon law buy back or did the OP trade it in for another car ?
Or did this dealer buy it back not as a lemon but simply to satisfy the OP. If there was no arbitration the car could have skipped by the lemon law requirements.
It would help if the OP gave us more details.

we don't know the whole story .

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 11-10-2017 08:53 PM

Is it possible that once they owned the car they found and fixed whatever the problem was?

I take my Lexus to Phillips for service and have had nothing but positive experiences there.
