Complaint Review: Parker Toyota Idaho - Coeur D Alene Idaho

Parker Toyota ___________ PUBLIC NOTICE Parker Toyota located in the city of Coeur d'Alene, and state of Idaho is being placed on notice for possibly taking advantage of their customers in the areas of overpricing and avoiding the itemization on the customers bill of sale.

Recently there was a transaction that took place at Parker Toyota of approximately $80,000 dollars. An itemization of the vehicles involved was requested and denied. Parker Toyota claimed this was to difficult and the process was virtually impossible.

It turns out that Parker Toyota needed a document signed by the buyer to complete a legal Idaho transaction which opened up a request for the second time to get these bills of sale itemized.

Without hesitation these impossible requests of itemization were received in 4 days. In some business circles this would show immediate guilt and 2 different California Toyota dealerships which will be mention in the final document clearly stated in writing that itemizing a vehicle sale is simple and standard procedure when requested.

Itemization of these vehicles showed an amount of $11,000 dollars in question of unfair dealership practices. A similar case was taken to court in 2002 involving another dealership with the final result proving there was malice involved in the transaction.

The plaintiff was awarded $250,000 dollars and the dealership fined $75,000. This Parker Toyota transaction without doubt shows a case of malice and in 2010 has been used against all employees involved with any business transaction. By denying the simple itemization is just the beginning stages of guilt where malice is recognized by jury and judge as guilty.

If Parker Toyota decides not to handle this matter professionally, the full story including emails, photo copies and eye witnesses will be posted on multiple websites and in local Coeur d'Alene Newspapers. Email broadcasting of this notice will begin June 22 to over 30,000 daily. Consumer protection agencies and Idaho public consumers will be first on the list.

Once this case is recorded in the legal system no amount of restitution will be accepted outside of a Judge or jury. This case could have been resolved with a simple letter of apology and 50% of the $11,000 dollars returned, which would still have left Parker Toyota way out ahead on this deal.

Toyota is a quality vehicle and this case should not change the publics image of these automobiles. Unfortunately Toyota has been having its flawless history blemished on an almost weekly basis for the past 5 months.

 This case is just what radio and media stations throughout the US are waiting to broadcast. We hope other business owners read this notice and realize that the general public most of the time is willing to resolve these issues with a fair settlement. Most of these cases are based on principles and the public most often loses with the exception of those few consumers that are internationally connected with unlimited funds.

Cases against the public like this one always has a negative financial and political outcome on the business, which stays with them throughout their business futures.
