Putnam Toyota Review By Loren John B.

Thank you Putnam Toyota for having the vehicle we wanted, as well as for allowing us to take advantage of cash for clunkers. Woop woop! Don't be fooled when you get here. They may seem to have a small inventory when you look at the dealership, but the rest of it is in another lot. That said, you might want to give them a call before you head over. Anyway, my pops was in the market for a new minivan (particularly a Sienna) since our '89 Aerostar was about to give out any minute. Thanks to cash for clunkers, the value of the van shot up from $100 to $3500 LOL. After making a bunch of calls to all Toyota dealerships in the Bay Area, I found Putnam to be one of the more helpful and friendly dealerships I've called. I ended up talking to Noli when I called. Funny thing is its a Filipino name, so I figured my parents and I should come here because he might hook us up with a reasonable deal haha. Noli was nice enough to check the inventory when I called, and luckily they had one Sienna left in the trim my parents wanted. When we saw it in person, my parents liked the color and the features, therefore buying it was the next step seeing as Siennas were running scarce in the Bay Area. Cash for clunkers at work ladies and gentlemen. My parents had a good experience negotiating with Noli for the minivan. Its likely because they were discussing it in Tagalaog the entire time haha. Nader was helpful with the test drive portion and going over the features of the car when we signed the papers and everything, but he had a little mishap with my mom when we first got here. Other than that, he was ok. I guess you can say we were fortunate to have an overall good experience with Putnam, but Noli is solid. The finance manager was really nice too and patient with my parents because they spent too much time talking about paying extra for warranties. If the occasion every arose again, I'd definitely come back here to buy a Toyota/Scion. Your experience may vary haha. Rest in Peace 1989 Ford Aerostar. You will be dearly missed.
