    Resolved
    I purchased my used vehicle (dealer car) on January 13, 2024. I've yet to receive my license plates and registration. I paid for the vehicle in full (see attached receipt) and they said it would take 2 weeks. It's been 10 weeks and this is unacceptable. They are not responding via email and when I speak to a sales manager live, I get the same answer, "We don't know when you'll have your plates and registration - soon we think." How is this possible? I'd like to complete this transaction and not have to deal with this dealership ever again. They NEVER contact me on their own to provide updates. I always have to call and they ignore all emails. I gave them a check for $37.596.27 on 1/13/24 and he said they recently paid off the ****** and recently sent the information to ***. I'm not understanding the hold up and why this is taking so long. It's been 10 weeks. I would like to receive my license plates and registration from ****** (they have to get them from the *** and claim they've sent the paperwork but only recently when it should have been sent a while ago). I've called several times and spoke with the sales manager. He recently told me that the information was only recently sent to the *** and they cannot seem to obtain updates as to where my registration and plates are.

    I purchased a 2020 Toytota Highlander from Stevens Toyota and have nothing but good comments about my salesman Jason R****** Jason was personable but not pushy. All questions about the vehicle were answered in a very informative and professional way. As Jason is very aware of all the options for the vehicle there were no questions left unanswered. Chris D***** was our finance manager and walked us thru the entire process, also very professional with all of our questions answered in a timely manner. The vehicle was delivered to me clean with a full tank of gas. This is my first Toyota let's hope it lives up to it's name. So far so Good. ***
