and 5 hours drive from Groove Toyota in Englewood, Colorado. We decided a few months ago to downsize from our 2006 Ford F-350 and get into a more economical and dependable Toyota 4-Runner. We had decided not to buy new and we started looking for a good used one. We needed to trade in the Ford truck since we carried a balance at the Credit Union. We started our search with our local car dealers. We found used 4-Runners at Hellman Ford, Hellman Chevrolet in Delta, Colorado and a few at some dealers in Grand Junction, Colorado. The only used and Toyota Certified 4-Runner we found we wanted was at Hellman Chevrolet. We met with Daniel Brown, one of the sales associates that we recognized from 3 years before when we were looking at cars at that dealership. Daniel Brown was the worst salesman we have ever dealt with and he made us feel stupid for offering the deal he offered. He cut down our trade that was in excellent and clean condition and said he couldn't even give us the payoff of $11,800. This truck still has the original book and paperwork including the sticker that came off the window in 2006 showing the sales price of over $40,000. The truck is a diesel and has only 89,000 miles on it. Daniel Brown knew I wanted the 2007 white Toyota 4-Runner on the Hellman Chevrolet lot that was on sale for $25,200. He offered his final deal by calling and telling me to arrange for my Credit Union to pay his deal. When I asked what the deal was, he hesitated and then said over $29,000!!! So he would take our truck in trade and our Credit Union would cut him a check for $29,000! What??? That's when I found Groove Toyota in Englewood and found the best salesman I had ever dealt with. I will write a separate review for CJ Adams. Cj contacted me immediately when he saw my search on the internet. He sold us a beautiful 2006 Toyota 4-Runner that was Toyota Certified. His no haggle deal included giving us $15,000 trade in for our truck and financing $20,306.50 and 2.99% Toyota financing for 60 months. We see in clear vision that CJ Adams and Groove Toyota saved us about $10,000 on the similar deal Daniel Brown of Hellman Chevrolet offered. And CJ Adams also did not make us feel bad about our trade in and gave us the trade in amount sight unseen. The whole deal was done via emails and phone calls and we were not disappointed when we drove all the way over there and bought the beautiful 2006 4-Runner that was even better than we expected. We are completely satisfied with this vehicle and the deal we got. I would recommend anyone to CJ Adams and Groove Toyota in Englewood, Colorado. I would not recommend Daniel Brown and Tim Hellman of Hellman Chevrolet in Delta, Colorado.
