I went in with my girlfriend to visit with Jeff Robinett to talk about a Toyota Tacoma that she wanted. She had put a $1000 on a truck to get it down to the dealership in Draper, Utah. As a first time car buyer with exceptional credit he had a contract in hand explaining the gift of a 7.99% interest rate (with a $10000 down payment). Jeff explained that this was "a gift" and the Warren Buffet's of Karl Malone Toyota were "the only ones in the world that could pull this off."
When I questioned the 7.99% APR and said it was high, to which Jeff agreed it was, Jeff went into divide and conquer mode. He immediately went on the attack with me and used all the dishonest sales tactics available. He tried to flatter my girlfriend and say that he trusted her and why should she not trust him. I became thoroughly disgusted with Jeff's behavior and when I told my girlfriend not to sign anything Jeff asked me what my problem was and implied I was a bad person or a jerk and was somehow trying to make myself look good... All the while destroying the deal of the century for my girlfriend.
While my girlfriend continued to talk with Jeff I couldn't take any more of his blatant lies and walked out. He was just trying to pit me Vs her to get this sale. I could not deal with the totally unprofessional and unethical behavior.
Luckily my girlfriend did not sign anything... Although he made sure to have all the papers on the desk immediately when we looked at the car.
We found a great late model used Tacoma at a good price at Mark Miller Subaru. The sales staff was very professional and listened to all of our concerns. There were no high-pressure sales tactics and the staff evaluated many financing options. Not only did we do better than 7.99% but instead got a 2.84% APR loan.
Jeff Robinett and Ty Dythibane - YOU are the reason that salesmen get a bad name.in terms of predatory lending and
lack of business ethics YOU are the face. Maybe I'll put your name up under the definition of "Predatory Lending" on Wikipedia - you deserve it!
But in all seriousness Jeff, I truly think you are a deep down bad person. I wish you difficulties and sadness in your life so that you can experience what you put other people through. May God have mercy on your soul!
