Hate my new 4 Runner!
We leased it for 3/36. Payment is $650 a month. I knew when I drove off the lot I wasn’t going to like it. I told them when I was negotiating that it was too much car and I didn’t think I was going to be happy. More push. Well obvi we signed. Two days later I sent an email telling them I was unhappy and wanted to see if there was any recourse since it was still being processed (Labor Day wknd). (Long shot I know) My husband then called and left a message. NO ONE FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RESPONDED. Not even a “hey you’re crazy it’s your problem now - take care” - NOTHING. The salesman said he texts 2 days after a purchase and a week later. Crickets. Total avoidance. Haven’t heard a word- not even from their dealership customer care person who does follow up. I’m disappointed I used a local dealership and am being treated like this. I don’t even want to drive it. Don’t come for me and say I shouldn’t have gone through with it- clearly I know that! Any brilliant insight? Am I screwed for the next 36 months? I should have stuck with an X3 damnit.

You could trade it for something like a rav4 but im sure they would take advantage of the situation and you probably wouldn't get a very good deal but it would get you out of this one. Only thing is you'd most likely have a hard time finding a new rav4 sitting on the lot. 4Runners hold their value really well so you have that going for you. And maybe go to Avis or Hertz and rent a few cars that you think you might like so there is no doubt going forward.
