	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.
