Image Credit: ToyotaA woman has taken to social media to recount her first car-buying experience, and based on what she said, it was a real nightmare after it turned into a week-long ordeal. TikTok user @appleuser3.14159265 had just been trying to buy a 2026 Toyota Camry SE Nightshade.Having found a used 2025 model at a dealership, she found it puzzling that it had been listed with just 12 miles on it, only for the dealer to tell her that it had been an error. Still, she headed over to the dealership to see the car.This doesn't sound like the beginning of a soap opera. But in her TikTok video, @appleuser3.14159265 recounts a crazy saga that unfolded as the dealership seemed to lead her down one path, then another, before finally agreeing to sell her a car that she had been after.AdvertisementAdvertisementBut just when she thought she had her car, things took an even more dramatic turn. Not only did the dealership initially claim to not have the car she had seen online, but then, when she finally bought a car, the wrong Toyota Camry turned up at her house.What Happened With the Toyota Camry?When she arrived at the dealership, @appleuser3.14159265 could not find the Camry she wanted on the lot. The dealership then claimed they couldn't find it, but then, amazingly, it turned up at the back of the dealership. Then, when she asked for the keys, the dealership told her somebody else was trying to buy the car, so she decided to leave.Things got weirder as the dealer offered a trade for a similar car, which was the exact one that she wanted. But the price was too high, and after trying to leave again, the sales manager suddenly came out to say they could bring the price down. Financing was agreed, and the dealership said it would call her when the car had arrived.The TikTok user was more confused when she returned to be told she needed to fill in more paperwork. But @appleuser3.14159265 then said that a woman in the finance department came clean about what had happened. The dealership had delivered the wrong car. While the car delivered looked similar, it didn't have the interior the TikTok user wanted, so she refused it.The Situation Around the Camry Took Even Longer To ResolveImage Credit: ToyotaThe dealership tried to convince the customer to take the car that had turned up. Then, the sales manager said they could get the vehicle tied to the VIN she had originally been given. But after being told it was in Mississippi, the TikTok user found that it was actually sitting at a dealership in Louisiana.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith that information, she rang that dealership and was told it was available. She told this new dealer what had happened, and they agreed to deliver the car directly to her. All the previous paperwork was emailed over, and the office manager even FaceTimed @appleuser3.14159265 to finalize the deal. They told her that the other dealership had been trying a 'sleazy' sales tactic to get her to buy a car. "This is a week-long process that should've been done in a day," said the TikTok user.Did She Finally Get Her Toyota?About a week after speaking to the Louisiana dealership, the car she had wanted all along actually arrived. "F dealership, F car salesman," @appleuser3.14159265 said. "At this point, I just wanted my car." She had clearly been left frustrated by what happened, and there were plenty of red flags around when she first went to buy the car. Her experience showed that confirming the exact vehicle first can save a lot of time and a lot of hassle.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
