December 15 - Toyota Yaris Forums

KittenRD · 11-29-2006, 07:55 PM

I ordered my yaris LB on August 15th. My story is as follows:
I called up to check on the status of my car a week ago. I found out that the saleswoman I was dealing w/ wasn't working there anymore....the manager I talked to seemed to be confused and did not know about my order or something. I faxed them a copy of my order and then called to verify they received it. This manager said he is "aware of the situation"...situation???? Luckily, I received a call that night from my new salesman. He said there is a car in allocation which is essentially the one I ordered. The dealership is trading the car they are getting in for this one. I won't know until closer to the date what it actually has. I'm hoping that I have more options as opposed to less! Here is what I ordered for options:

Cold Weather Package
Power Package
Keyless Entry
Spoiler
ABS

I ordered meteorite, but have black as my second options. This has been quite an ordeal getting one, but it will be worth it! It is scheduled to come in December 15th.

nice, ya I had a hard time with my order. Sales man every month tried to get me to break down and get this one or that one. But hanged on and got exactly what I wanted after 3 months.

Hang in there Kitten! I was stressed waiting for mine and didn't really believe the "order/allocation" was real but I got what I ordered so I have faith you will too. It's just so frustrating to wait, on top of it you have had the salesman turnover! I hope you get exactly what you want. I wish I had ordered mine with ABS but have read and experienced the "old style" brakes and they seem just fine. I'm at about 600 miles and still getting used to the gas pedal angle and lack of telescoping wheel which tires my right leg when I commute from NH to Salem MA every day. Wish we had cruise control as a standard on our Yaris'. Well, I still love it!!! Keep us posted on your progress. :)

Wow, you have waited a long time, I hope they give you exactly what you want.

Toyota allocates cars to dealers every other week, so hopefully you will get yours soon.

Thanks. I think the originaly saleswoman I was dealing w/ did not put in the order. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the car has extra options!
