Rust on the seat from metal underneath

[TrashPanda]

@fightforfood247 I’m ultimately going to have to eat it. It is either lose $7-8k or just drive it and eventually break even 3 years from now. Going to take plenty of pics and then try to get under there with a rust remover and see what I can do. There is plenty of grease under there. Not sure what happened.

I am perplexed as to why you’ve got the rust and I don’t - but maybe I will - google “rust under seat” and watch a wave of complaints for every kind of vehicle. It’s not toyota being cheap is my point. It just happens. I’ll do some more digging as I’m just curious. Part of the issue is if our trucks cost 30K we wouldn’t care lol.

Alright I’m going to take a good look at these pics and then go out to my truck and see what mine looks like.

If my truck was $30k my wife would be much happier!
Also beer has begun.

Well my wife and I have agreed if I can trade it for $48k, I’m paying the difference and buying a shittier vehicle

This did not work for me. My dealer and sales team completely blew me off. I had to get nasty and do the law route. I have had nothing positive to say about the dealership, sales team, or Yota corporate…..nothing. But yes it’s def good to start friendly. Some people still can’t grasp if you’re nice people tend to treat you better. Def not the case 100% of the time but I agree always start there

I'm sorry you had that experience. My "sales team" was weak, but the service mgr and that part of the dealership went, and has continued to go above and beyond. No BS, no smoke and mirrors, no excuses. If it ain't right they look for a solution. It has made my purchase good.
