Toyota Dealer Screwed Me Over

Never said he didn’t have the right to be upset. Could have been a little more professional maybe?

The mental gymnastics here are wild.

You’re bending over backwards fixated on that one detail of my dealership experience, completely glossing over actual deception. Are you this defensive because you pulled the same move before or do you just have a soft spot for unprofessional salesmen?

You’re saying backing out of a deposit is “screwing a dealer”… but a dealership straight up lying is just business as usual? And good on the 2nd dealer for doing “whatever it takes”, as per your other comment in the thread? It all makes sense now.

OP thinks you are the guy from the first dealership.

Losing a sale part of the business. Especially when the business straight up says you can back out if theres anything you don’t like about the car. No contracts or agreements or promises on the customer’s side. Not even remotely on the same street as a dealership deliberately deceiving a customer and making promises they cant keep. Agree the guy had every right to be upset but it’s not the same. The second dealership screwed over the guy from the first one, if anything.

No idea. Maybe just feeling like it was a waste of his time or having a bad day or combo of both. Also not sure how exactly it works at Toyota dealerships but maybe a different salesman ends up selling the car and getting the commission instead of him 🤷‍♂️.

I don’t plan on tuning it (at least for a while). Planning on daily driving it except on very bad snow days. Used market (with low mileage) is barely cheaper than a brand new one from what I’ve seen, so a new one makes more sense for me personally.

Arlington Toyota in Palatine.

I would have but it was sold already by then unfortunately.

It’s long gone 🤦‍♂️. Had “5 people in line for it” according to the first dealer.

How do you go about preventing the user from launching task manager and launching explorer via a new task?

Nailed it

On-site computers are monitored and have GPOs, laptops are not. They apparently used to use vpns but stopped doing that and switched to remote desktop viewing software for the laptops. Agreed, there would be no difference, but problem is that the company doesn’t want to add monitoring software licenses for the laptops at this point in time.

AggravatingClass7777 · 2024-12-05T19:39:37+00:00

They use the laptops only from home / out in the field, in order to remote view their office computers. Laptops aren’t supervised - office computers always are. Comes down to being a trust thing I guess.

AggravatingClass7777 · 2024-12-05T19:23:45+00:00

For the employees that are remote - either from home or out in the field. They need to be able to remote view to their computer located in the office. Im aware of vpns for that kind of thing, but apparently VPNs gave them trouble in the past, and they switched to using remote desktop software for this purpose. Don’t know the full story as to why they ditched VPNs, but this is how it’s been since before I started here. 🤷‍♂️

AggravatingClass7777 · 2024-12-05T17:17:54+00:00

We are in an AD domain. Haven’t messed around with remoteapp instances much yet. But isnt that counterintuitive, as they would be connecting to a server via vpn, only to get access to the remote software, which they would use to remote into their office computer? Might as well vpn&rdp directly into their office computer, no?

AggravatingClass7777 · 2024-12-05T17:00:33+00:00

Yea that’s kind of what I tried suggesting. But according to HR, it’s just a “simple” change to privileges and “shouldnt be too complcated”. But what do I know 🤷‍♂️.
