“ I have been buying from Downeast Toyota since the 1990's. I have always been impressed with the way they treat their customers, not just as customers but as friends. I stopped in the other day to look at a 4Runner they had out front and met Steve Maker. Steve showed me the 4Runner set me up for a test drive, when I returned we looked at a new 2026 4Runner which I liked even more. Steve explained all the various features and did an excellent job at all the paperwork. Ended up with a brand new vehicle in no time at all. I was impressed at his knowledge in all aspects of the sale, from vehicle features to handling all the paperwork. I would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a vehicle. I felt that when I left that day I had found not just a salesman but a new friend. Thank you again Steve ”

“ If I could give 10 stars I would. In the past year I have purchased two cars with Downeast and been to their service dept. Buying a car from Vern is like having a cup coffee with a good friend, except you end up with a new car! John Cuskelly loves getting you into the car you really want, goes over all the details and is as enthusiastic about the style of their cars as he is about the safety features. I have had nothing but prompt reliable service from their service department. Briana in the finance department was so friendly and got everything together so quickly and accurately. She made everything so easy. From service to sales to finance, I have had the best experience with Downeast Toyota. ”

“ I had an AMAZING experience working with both Vee Thacker and Chris Vafiades! They are wonderful people who went above and beyond to help me get the vehicle (*4Runner) I desired. Chris, I truly can't thank you enough! Thank you both soooo much!! ”

“ Beyond pleased Down East Toyota! The sales and financing process were smooth and Dave rolled with Josh and I changing our minds last minute on a truck. We are lifelong customers! ”

“ Steve Maker was the salesman for the purchase of our vehicle. Steve was personable and accommodating. He exuded a “home town” approach in his interactions with us. He did not use any high pressure tactics to secure the sale of the vehicle we purchased. Steve went above and beyond in handling a small issue with the truck after the purchase had been completed. Steve made the entire experience at Downeast Toyota a pleasant one. We would return to DE Toyota is we could engage Steve as our salesman. ”

“ We had an amazing experience working with Chris! He greeted us right away and really listened when we told him exactly what we wanted—and then he made it happen! The entire process was smooth, easy, and stress-free from start to finish. This was our first Toyota, but thanks to such a great experience, I’m sure it won’t be our last. Highly recommend! ”

“ Recently leased a truck and had Alex assisting me. Flawless experience. Entire team was very engaging and kind. Two test drives and got me in and out in about 2 hours. Give that man a raise! ”

“ Sam Lapierre did a magnificent job helping us find a vehicle that made sense financially, and got my partner the winter features that they were looking for and most importantly, we saved a bit of money on our payment + insurance. They were incredibly honest about costs and fees both upfront and what we could expect at the end of the agreement so we knew exactly what we would be paying and when, and even threw in some dog accessories for our time. I couldn't recommend working with Sam enough. We were leasing a Venza hybrid, now happily leasing a Rav4 hybrid. ”

“ What a wonderful experience I had at downeast Toyota Alex was amazing made sure I understood everything every step of the way The whole experience was just top-notch I would highly recommend everybody go through DownEast Toyota ”

“ Vern & John made it happen, the car I've been dreaming of and actually tried to purchase at other dealerships. I'd previously been quoted outrageous interest rates, ridiculous mandatory add-ons, and even offered a less expensive car. When we pulled into Downeast Toyota because they had the exact car (Land Cruiser), in the perfect color (black), I really didn't think it would be doable because of my prior experiences. I thought I needed to lower my expectations, champagne taste on a beer budget. But, Vern & John made it happen. A decent interest rate, a very fair offer on my trade in, and while the payment is a hair higher than I was hoping, it is manageable. Vern, John, and Brianna in finance - you are all awesome! Thank you! ”

“ This was my second purchase from Downeast, sales staff has been great and never pressured into purchasing. Will continue to be a repeat customer. ”

“ I purchased a 2025 RAV4 on 2/2/26 from Downeast Toyota. Sam is a great asset to your team. He is knowledgeable and kind. ”

“ TL;DR: It’s worth driving a little farther to another Toyota dealership. I visited Down East Toyota to explore either purchasing my current lease or starting a new lease. In the days leading up to my visit, I spoke with both Sales Support Specialist Dylan Mountain and Finance & Insurance Manager Brianna C. From the start, I was very clear about what I wanted to accomplish. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that there was poor communication between staff, as I was repeatedly asked for information we had already discussed. I also felt pressured to come into the dealership because I was told they “prioritize customers in the dealership over people on the phone.” Once I arrived, I worked with Sales Representative Chris Vafiades, who was professional, helpful, and by far the highlight of the experience. Chris made the process of discussing a new lease feel straightforward and was a steady, respectful presence throughout. That said, the overall experience declined significantly once management became more involved. I understand this took place on a Friday evening and that the sales team stayed after hours to finish the deal, and I appreciate that effort. However, it was made very clear to us that our presence was viewed as an inconvenience. During negotiations, Sales Manager John Cuskelly repeatedly commented that we were “taking away Chris’s livelihood” and “eating into his commission.” Those remarks were inappropriate and uncomfortable. As customers simply trying to negotiate a vehicle deal, we should not have been made to feel guilty for asking questions or discussing price. It also reflected poorly on management’s support of their own sales representative. In addition, Brianna C. displayed visible frustration during the conversation, including eye-rolling and sighing, which only added to the negative atmosphere. For anyone considering doing business with Down East Toyota, here are my honest takeaways from this experience: - Be cautious with trade-in or lease-end valuations - in our experience, the numbers felt lower than expected while being presented as though they were generous. - Expect resistance if you negotiate - we were made to feel guilty simply for trying to discuss pricing. - If you do decide to shop here, I strongly recommend getting quotes and offers from other Toyota dealerships in the area first so you have a clearer sense of your leverage. Because of this experience, we will not be returning to Down East Toyota for future vehicle purchases or leases. Chris Vafiades was the one bright spot, but overall the dealership’s management and customer experience left a lot to be desired. ”

“ Terrible experience. Do not trust the service center, they will mislead you and upsell. They will blantlently lie to you. Go ANYWHERE else. ”

“ I bought my first Toyota from Downeast in my early 20’s. I’m 45. The last two times my wife and I went in we had one guy tell us we probably couldn’t afford to buy what we were looking for without doing any paperwork or credit checks. The other insulted us with his ridiculously low offer on our paid off trade in. Which wasn’t really smart on a self employed individual that buys vehicles every 2-3 years. This was our starting place we typically find or try to find the best deal. I’ve owned over 9 Toyotas in my life and only bought one here. My wife immediately went online and found one 2k cheaper and they gave us what we were hoping for on a trade in! We will not give them another chance. We will make the drive further to avoid this kind of salesmanship and condescending treatment. ”

“ I had a complaint about the service department, so I contacted Downeast Toyota via their website. They promised to call me to discuss the issues but never did. They did unauthorized work, messed up instructions and did other minor, irritating things that show that they weren't serious about customer service. ”

“ Their service department is very unethical. A Toyota dealer multiple times can’t open tire valves. Not sure if they have a mechanic. All they want to do is sale, sale, sale products to you to make easy profit. Will not care about your car at all. And when things happened, they pass off the blames real quick. Nothing works or available at this service place besides the credit card reader. A professional service can’t not take accountability is this place. ”
