Beaver Toyota - St Augustine

What can I say? Be very very cautious with these people. Recently went to them to purchase a pickup truck. Found one that was in good shape and used. Signed an credit application with the understanding that Beaver Toyota would pull a credit report and only one credit inquiry would show up on my credit report. Surprise, surprise!! There were over 8 hard credit inquires made on my credit report without my authorization resulting in my credit score tanking.

Furthermore, they let me take the vehicle home and a couple of days later I returned the vehicle when I was advised that they had been unable to secure credit on the used vehicle. Two days later they showed up on my door step insisting I had purchased the vehicle and that I had to accept it. I told them to get off my property or I would contact the sheriff’s office. During this time frame, NO paper work – other than a temporary tag – was provided to me. No copies of contracts, mileage certification – nothing – as required by Florida Law.

Later I filed a complaint with the State of Florida concerning their sales tactics and the manager responded with outright lies. He reported that they had advised me that they needed copies of my paychecks when I told them from the beginning that I was a 1099 employee. The manager also advised that I was told that a 1099 was not sufficient and as a result the credit application was turned down. His response made it sound like I was complaining about the credit being extended to me for the purchase of the vehicle. That was the furthest from the truth.

In closing – be very, very careful when dealing with Beaver Toyota – St Augustine. They are pushy, overbearing, lying sales people and managers.
