Been in dealerships from age 16. A PDI test drive is a short as a tech can make it. They got better things to do.

Yeah there is no reason they had to add additional 77 miles to the odometer for a PDI test drive. The odometer had 10 miles stated on the odometer disclosure statement.

Good on you , that is unacceptable
When I got mine, I flew from California to oregon during COVID since they sold it to me with zero mamrkup. Requested no front plate drilled and no wash. Even asked to leave the shipping sticker and wrap on the car. Delivered to my hands with the keys and ppw all completed for my drive home with 16 miles on the trip odometer. Here's me after I went and got some lunch and about to leave for me drive back to California.

Since no PDI, did you remove the shipping blocks?

Wouldn't be too concerned about the ride, more like concerned on how they are handling your vehicle when you're not there: Are they launching? Rough handling the car, blah, blah, blah, that sort of stuff.

Ok.......... you got me on this one. I can't tell if this is an AI post or not.

Yeah. I cancelled the sale and filed a complaint with Toyota North America. My auto loan has to be refunded but I'm still liable for the per diem interest. Such a waste of time that I am back to hating all cars now... Hopefully I'll get my love of automobiles back soon.

Disappointing story, OP, but thanks for sharing.

Why treat a customer this way? Doesn’t matter if it’s a Supra, a Ferrari, or a Kia.

They did everything required for PDI within those 16 miles. I only needed to remove the shipping stickers and interior peel protectors.

I remember the online video of the guy loading FocusRS mk3s onto the boat in Germany doing high speed sliding donuts on the large slushy gravel holding yard area. Nice for the new owner thats ordered and waited for it for a year. He got sacked from what I remember.
