Larry Miller Toyota ripoff to consumers, they remove car makers MSRP's to get customers to pay OVER STICKER PRICE in violation of Federal Law Peoria Arizona Rip-off Report Investigation *UPDATE ..pictures don't lie
We as consumer advocates here at www.ripoffreport.com pound the nations pavement looking for what we feel is deception.
We have had some consumers complain about a few car dealers in Phoenix that have a habit of removing the MSRP's off of their new cars, mainly their top selling units.
So we decided to send out are investagators to search for what is really going on in the auto industry. One of our investagators went to Larry Miller Toyota and he found that larry Miller Toyota had many of their top sellers that had the factory MSRP's removed.
Larry Miller Toyota's with no Monroney sticker prices or MSRP's
If a car has a factory MSRP price of say $22,000 and the dealer sends their lot attendants out to Rip Off the sticker price, they now can try to sell the car for what ever their "TRAINED LOT SHARKS" can PUMP out of the car buyer.
Rip-off Report Consumer Advocates tried to reach Larry Miller for a comment about our findings, leaving several messages. So far they have not responded.
Here below is info about the Monroney LAW.
On July 7, 1958, Monroney's bill became law. Beginning on September 1, 1958, every automobile manufacturer was required to securely attach a label to the window of the vehicle, disclosing information concerning the vehicle and its FACTORY price. Any manufacturer who failed to comply, could be levied a fine of not more than $1000 and/or imprisonment of not more than one year.
"Mike" Monroney (1902-1980): Born in Oklahoma; U.S. Representative from Oklahoma, 1939-51; U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, 1951-69.
"Monroney sticker" means the label required by Section 3 of the Automobile Information Disclosure Act, 15 USC Section 1232;
If the above statement is a LAW that car makers have to follow, Who is making the car dealers abide by this law? not your local AG's office it seems.
So if you are thinking of buying a new car,truck or SUV make sure that you deal with a dealer that is not willing to remove the Monroney sticker price.The Monroney label may not be removed by anyone other than the purchaser.

Note to all car buyers:
If you have plans to buy a new car and the new car dealer you visit has some of their new cars that have had the MSRP also known as the Monroney sticker removed, think REAL HARD about doing business with them. They just might have big plans to play some deceptive games with you.
