Campbell’s Auto Sport

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this particular car dealership about a year ago, and I suddenly felt motivated to write a review on Unilocal about it.
I went in looking for a budget Toyota because my 2000 Ford Taurus with 130,000 miles on it was on it’s last leg. I saw online there was a 2002 Toyota Corolla with around 100K miles on it available at this particular dealership, so I drove to this dealership to take a look at it.
I parked and looked around for the 2002 Corolla — and there it was! It was so shiny (not really) and nice and reliable — I was quite intrigued! I went inside the dealership and asked the only person working there if I could take a look inside the car. The man reached behind the desk and grabbed a pair of keys and handed them over to me. He then proceeded to do whatever he was doing and didn’t really say anything. I was a little surprised that he just handed me the keys — but I headed outside, opened the car up, and checked it out. When I sat inside, I realized this was the car for me. It seemed clean — fit me perfect — and of course, had that bulletproof Toyota reliability. So, as an interested customer, I went back inside and asked the man if I could test drive it…
He took one look at me and smugly stated, «Are your parents going to be buying this for you?»
I was a little shocked — but yah. I was (at that time) a 20 year old pizza delivery driver and the car was listed at $ 7000 (way overpriced for an ’02 Corolla), so my parents agreed to help me pay for part of the car. He told me to, «bring them back and then I’ll LET you test drive it.»
I found that pretty insulting. Just because I look young doesn’t mean I am not a serious buyer. I was ready to buy this car — it really was the perfect car for me. His attitude was really uncool and for someone to make an assumption about me based on how I looked wasn’t nice. I waited about a year and I just purchased a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 65K miles for about $ 3,000 more than this guy was selling his ’02. Seriously — what a ripoff.
