Buyer Awareness — Vehicle Configuration, Pricing, and Purchase Agreement Concerns I wanted to share my experience as a prospective buyer of a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited 4WD at LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac in Findlay, Ohio. First, I want to make it clear that I have nothing personal against the dealership or the salesperson I've been communicating with. I appreciate their time and professionalism, and I'm still genuinely interested in purchasing this truck. However, during my research, I discovered several things that I believe other vehicle buyers should be aware of. 1. Vehicle Configuration The dealership's own website identifies the truck as a Double Cab. I also contacted Toyota directly, provided the VIN, and spoke with a Toyota representative who verbally confirmed that this vehicle is a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab, not a CrewMax. However, the dealership's initial pricing worksheet described the vehicle as a "Crew Cab Pickup." While that may be a generic classification used in dealership software, I believe it's important that buyers understand the specific configuration of the vehicle they're purchasing. 2. Purchase Agreement Documentation After contacting Toyota directly and having a representative verbally confirm through the VIN that this vehicle is a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab, not a CrewMax, I specifically requested that LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac identify the vehicle as a Double Cab on the purchase agreement. I explained that I wanted the correct factory configuration documented accurately before proceeding with a potential purchase. Despite making that request before receiving the purchase agreement, the paperwork LaRiche subsequently provided listed the body type simply as "Pickup," without specifying Double Cab. This concerned me because the dealership's initial pricing worksheet had previously described the vehicle as a "Crew Cab Pickup," while its own website identified the truck as a Double Cab. To be clear, I am not claiming that LaRiche explicitly refused to include the designation or intentionally misrepresented the vehicle. However, the specific documentation I requested was not provided. When purchasing a vehicle for approximately $47,000, I believe it's reasonable to expect that a buyer's request for accurate, specific vehicle documentation will be addressed. My hope is that LaRiche's management will review this concern and provide a purchase agreement clearly identifying the truck as a Double Cab. 3. Asking Price and Kelley Blue Book Valuation LaRiche quoted a selling price of $47,015, with a total of $47,454 shown on the purchase paperwork before applicable Minnesota taxes and registration. According to the Kelley Blue Book pricing information I reviewed, the estimated fair purchase price for a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab was approximately $41,300. That places LaRiche's advertised selling price approximately $5,715 above the Kelley Blue Book reference valuation, or about 13.8% higher. I understand that Kelley Blue Book estimates can vary based on mileage, condition, equipment, location, and market conditions. The $41,300 figure is a general reference rather than a VIN-specific appraisal. However, considering that Toyota confirmed this truck is a Double Cab rather than a CrewMax, I believe it's reasonable to question whether the dealership's asking price reflects the correct vehicle configuration. My concern is whether the vehicle was valued using comparable Double Cab trucks or CrewMax trucks, which can have different market values. I have not established which comparable vehicles LaRiche used to determine its asking price, and I'm not accusing the dealership of intentionally misrepresenting the vehicle. I would simply appreciate clarification regarding how the vehicle was valued. 4. What I'm Hoping to Accomplish My intention is not to embarrass LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac or criticize its employees. My goals are to: Raise awareness about the importance of verifying vehicle configurations and market values. Encourage accurate and specific vehicle descriptions on purchase agreements. Give LaRiche's management an opportunity to review the asking price against comparable 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab 4WD vehicles. Encourage a price adjustment if that review indicates the current asking price is above a reasonable market valuation. I would also appreciate having the Double Cab designation specifically included on any revised purchase agreement. I'm still interested in purchasing this truck, subject to a satisfactory independent pre-purchase inspection and reaching a mutually agreeable price. 5. My Message to Other Vehicle Buyers Before purchasing a vehicle, I encourage everyone to research: The VIN and factory vehicle configuration. Kelley Blue Book valuations. Comparable vehicles with similar mileage, trim, and equipment. CARFAX or AutoCheck history reports. The accuracy of vehicle descriptions on purchase agreements. The full out-the-door purchase price, including taxes and fees. A Double Cab and a CrewMax are not the same configuration, and those differences can matter when determining a vehicle's market value. I respect that dealerships have the right to establish their asking prices, just as buyers have the right to research, ask questions, and negotiate. Ultimately, my goal is buyer awareness, transparent documentation, and fair market-based pricing. I appreciate LaRiche's time and would welcome a constructive response from management. I'm hopeful that we can still reach an agreement that works for both sides.

******* Buyer Awareness — LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac, Findlay, Ohio I'm sharing my experience as a prospective buyer of a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited 4WD. I have nothing personal against LaRiche or its employees, and I'm still interested in purchasing the truck. During my research, I discovered that the dealership's website identifies the truck as a Double Cab, which Toyota also verbally confirmed after I provided the VIN. However, the initial pricing worksheet described it as a "Crew Cab Pickup." I specifically requested that Double Cab be documented on the purchase agreement for accuracy. Despite making this request beforehand, the agreement I subsequently received listed the body type simply as "Pickup." LaRiche's asking price is $47,015, compared with an approximately $41,300 Kelley Blue Book reference valuation for a Limited Double Cab—a $5,715 difference. I recognize that vehicle condition, mileage, and equipment affect pricing. The salesperson indicated that the dealership was comfortable with its price and wasn't negotiating further. My hope is that management will review the vehicle's valuation and documentation. I'm not alleging intentional misrepresentation. My goal is buyer awareness, accurate documentation, and fair market-based pricing, while keeping the door open to a potential purchase. UPDATE: I wanted to share my positive experience with LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac in Findlay, Ohio. I had the opportunity to speak with Jason regarding a vehicle I was interested in purchasing. Although we ultimately couldn't finalize the deal due to circumstances on my end, Jason and the team at LaRiche were professional, understanding, and willing to work with me throughout the process. What really stood out to me was their willingness to refund my deposit when the deal didn't work out. They were understanding of my situation and handled everything professionally. I genuinely appreciate Jason and the LaRiche team for their time, communication, and willingness to work with me. I would definitely recommend LaRiche Chevrolet Cadillac to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle, and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them in the future!

Very good, timely service. Personable service department. Explanation of service detailed and thorough.

Thank you all at Team Lariche

Can't say enough good things about my experience purchasing a vehicle from LaRiche. Brittany in used car sales and Lois in used car financing are absolute rockstars. They answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to ensure the process was timely and smooth. We were able to finalize everything in a day despite me being in a different state. I highly recommend LaRiche and hope to work with them again in the future.

I purchased my car from Carvana and 2 days in, a dead battery. I had to have the onstar telematic replaced. But that’s what lead me here to Lariche, the check engine light was back on in 2 days. 2 more things needed replaced and then 2 days later the check engine light was back on. Once again I was in the dealership but this time they knew me by face or car idk if that’s a bad thing or good thing but either way they made me another appointment, gave me a Car and they worked until they figured it out. They never complained or made me feel as if I was a headache. They kept it professional and kept me undated. 10/10 I would highly recommend. I purchased this car on June 13th and last week (8/13)is the longest I have had it in my possession so Thank you.

I had a great experience from start to finish! The entire process was easy and smooth. Hunter was fantastic from the moment we started our test drive until we drove off the lot in our new car. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. He took the time to go over all the features and details of the vehicle before we left, making sure we felt comfortable and confident. I would 100% recommend Hunter to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Overall, it was an excellent car-buying experience!
