Personally, I'd avoid DAR Cars Toyota in N. Silver Spring. They
are descended from Armstrong Neal Toyota (used to be in downtown Silver
Spring). I wouldn't trust them.
Ditto on the Rosenthal remarks if they're the Toyota dealer in
on Rt 50 in Fairfax.
I have basically no complaints about Jim Coleman in Falls Church
and I've heard good words about Alexandria Toyota.
Do you belong to Price Club? They've prenegotiated deals on
Toyotas with some area dealers. Similar to United Buying Service and
others. Not the best price if you enjoy haggling; but a good price if you
don't want to be bothered.
