I had been looking for a decent deal on a Tacoma TRD Pro and I was finally able to get one with Jim’s help. Much, much better price than I could get locally. Thanks!

Jim came through again! Took delivery of my TRD OR in Electric Lime this last week. No surprises, and the dealer was amazingly responsive as always!

First time working with Jim. Patient with all the questions. Shared my preference of truck. Jim shared available vehicles and prices. I picked one and he shared DAS and monthly payment details. I agreed, paid him via zelle, got a call from dealership. Did credit check, insurance proof, validation of agreed deal. Went the next day and picked up my 2023 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 4dr white the next day. In and out in 44 mins.
Paid Jim’s fee ($500) plus first month payment ($475). 23 payments left. Truck comes with Toyota care for 24 months.

So unfortunately i worked with this person and i cant go forward with a deal due to financing and religious issues. Jim pressured me into making a deal(similar to how a dealer would do) putting me on a time crunch and not letting me ask any questions about anything related to the deal. He said pay first, ask questions later. I paid him for the trd tundra pro. 2000 dollars on top of msrp for it and i had to cancel due to rates. Jim has not issued any refunds for this. Please save your money and stay away from this scammer of a broker.

Ok first it didn’t fall apart because of financing. He said the rates were too high.
This was a highly desirable white tundra pro at 71k msrp. I charged a 2k fee accordingly. 2.5 weeks later he says he doesn’t want it, after I told him I don’t refund and be read my terms, and he could use the fee towards another vehicle.
He tried to switch tundras twice during this process as well but said he didn’t have time to research rates? Suspect. He was approved at 8%. I told him he could do a credit unions around 6% probably. He never mentioned religious banks or anything until today.
He just wants to get out of the deal and I lost the vehicle bc of it. I tried to sell it last night for 5 hours as well to help out. Today the dealer gave it to someone on their wait list.
How can I force someone to buy a car? I told him this will sell fast and if he wants it he should lock it up soon.
He also said he can pay cash but doesn’t want to etc etc. this is just someone cancelling a deal which I don’t refund for after holding the car until the week it’s arriving.
This wasn’t a sob story if someone losing their job on an affordable car and not being able to buy. I’ve refunded those plenty, legit or not. But just someone that doesn’t like the high rates and/or had second thoughts about buying a tundra pro. He was very indecisive about colors etc the whole time so I’m leaning in that direction. I even told him if the colors he wanted came up I would help him to get out of this one into another.
He could also have leased this and sold it for $80k making a profit! But he said he doesn’t want it to hit his credit. 
Just wanted to post the original complainers recent thread where he is in fact financing and paying interest, which he said was against his religion. Not that I have to defend myself anymore against his slander, there’s 100s of positive reviews for my service here. But just leaving it here…

Review:
TLDR: Just picked up my truck (Toyota Tundra) last week from Jim’s dealer and have to say the whole experience was a 10/10. I’ve purchased 4 cars in the past through dealerships (Volkswagen, Honda, Audi, Volvo) and this was the easiest, most straight-forward experience I’ve had. I spent less than 1 hour at the dealership when I went to pick up the truck!!
Early January 2023: I contact Jim after lurking on this forum for a while. I was skeptical of his deals because I’m in Texas and I first contacted another broker/dealer who posts here for Texas. Texas dealers are wayyyy overpriced so I was not sure about Jim’s prices. I had done my research, test drove several models, and build out the truck i wanted on Toyota website, so I had a good idea of what I wanted. Talking to Jim was really simple and he was very clear and straightforward on pricing, options, what I’m getting etc…I told Jim what I wanted in terms of truck model (Tundra), pricing (>45k), color/options, etc.and he worked with me from there based on his inventories. After going through a couple of back and forth on different trucks, I decided to lock in a Tundra.
Deposit/Lock-in: I sent Jim a paypal with his fee which was also the deposit to lock in the exact truck. Since all this was done over text, I was a little worried. At this point, he handed me off to the dealer. Within 2-3 hours, his dealer called me to get some preliminary information and introduce themselves. This was good since it helped relieve some anxiety talking to someone on the phone. At this point, the dealer rep confirmed everything with me and that was about it. No VIN, No contract, No anything at this point. Again, I was worried at the time but looking back, the dealer didn’t have any of this info like a VIN or any contract at this point so they gave me all the info they had.
Deal: I got the most base Tundra you can possibly build. It’s a Tundra SR 4x2. In Texas, no dealers even want to waste their precious allocation on this base truck. But Jim got me one and with $3.3k off. His fee is nothing compared to the deal he can get you. I honestly can’t believe the deal I got on this thing. Even during the normal times, I would be happy with this deal. No way any Texas dealer can even come close to matching this.
Next 4-5 weeks: The dealer rep was awesome. He was professional, clear, and honest in all the steps. He kept me informed of the stage my truck was in (pre-production, production, QC, delivery etc). The truck actually came in on the exact delivery date he had given me (once he had a estimate after production). During this time, the rep also worked with me and guided me on best options for financing and insurance. I loved that at every step, he gave me options but also recommended me to do my own research and ask my own bank/insurance broker for quotes.
Delivery: I came from out-of-state to pick up the truck. We had arranged financing and gotten insurance beforehand. On the day of pickup, my dealer rep was out so he handed me to another sales rep on the floor. That person was just as professional and caring as everyone else had been in this process. They pulled up my truck and paired me with a tech person to setup my truck tech and check out the features while they got me a financing manager to sign the final paperwork. Within 30-45minutes of arriving, I was done signing and drove off.
Thank You so much, Jim!!! We love the new truck and appreciate your straight-forward and professional service. Even though I’m in Texas, I will definitely be buying my Toyotas through you from this point on. You have my trust 100%. Will be recommending everyone I know to you.

Thank you Jim for a seamless process and for delivering great service. Easiest and most positive vehicle purchase experience I have had. I am happy with my new ride
Never put a review here, but Jim hooked me up with a 2020 Tundra Limited TRD Off-Road in 7/20. I live in SE Florida and the car market down here is insane. I am not a small guy at 6’1". I had my lumbar fused at 3 levels and then fused to my sacrum. I was not going to be getting into my AR Guilia (which had 6 months left on lease) for a while. Jim was a pleasure to deal with and the dealer was great too. They had the Tundra ready for my shipper in 3 days. A really great experience, from first contact to delivery.
If you are nervous about using Jim, or dealing with a broker, don’t be. The brokers on this site have reputations, and a following. You are a HELL OF A LOT safer, and better off, dealing with Jim, and the brokers on this site, than you are walking into almost any large car dealer in America. No doubt about it!!

Jim helped me an SR5 at an incredible deal. The process was smooth and easy, got the car in 2 weeks.
Would definitely recommend and I am sure I will use Jim’s service again.

Jim was quick to respond and easy to work with. Had the vehicle shipped to NC with one company he recommended and had zero issues. Saved literally almost $9k compared to dealerships here with their mandatory bs add ons. The dealer rep was very responsive and they sent me all the paperwork overnight. 2 days later I got the go ahead to arrange pickup.
If you are on the fence, please move forward with Jim. So much less stress having everything lined up already.

Enjoy! Pleasure working with you
What an absolute pleasure…. Never thought I’d say that about buying a car… Jim is very responsive, transparent and incredibly helpful with all my questions… The whole experience exceeded my expectations by a long shot…. Wholeheartedly and firmly recommended… I was skeptical because deal seemed “too good to be true in today’s marketplace”… I stand corrected… Jim delivered….
