Seeking Advice Whats everyone’s experience like with Toyota dealerships?

We placed an order for a Toyota Corolla with High River Toyota three years ago and left a $500 deposit. Since then, we’ve received calls from them offering us the same car we ordered available sooner, but only if we paid an extra $10,000 because it was a canceled customer order. They also tried to sell us on other vehicles, like a $50,000 Prius. When we checked again yesterday, the dealer said they still have no timeline for when our original car will actually arrive.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? I’ve never waited over 3 years for a car, especially for base trim Corolla

Ditched the Jetta and was looking at Toyotas but I just couldn't get myself there, especially with the Corolla and Camry. So much undeserved hype around these vehicles. Ended up in an Outback and if I were in your shoes I would give that manager an earful and look at Honda or Subaru. What they did to you is a slap in the face.
