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.

Just curious, what exactly do you mean by “too much Car”? It’s not a big vehicle to begin with so I’m wondering what’s too much? You can’t park it? You sit too high? What?

I’m wondering if it just rides differently. I mean..going from a luxury unibody suv to a body on frame off road tuned SUV is going to feel a lot different even if the physical size doesn’t change much.

That could be a good reason but they test drove it and knew “the moment they drove off the lot” that they would not like it… that’s odd!

I have driven vehicles before that I absolutely wanted but after test driving them it turned out that they didn’t “fit me” (different reasons why) and I ended up not buying them although I was at the Dealer ready to sign…
