price runaround at www.toyota-parts.com - Toyota Yaris Forums

CtrlAltDefeat · 03-24-2009, 01:25 PM

When checking out taillights for my lb at the beginning of February, I found a listing at toyota-parts.com that listed them as regular price $99 and sale price as $252. I sent them a message through their site asking if the prices were backwards and got an email back stating and I quote "YOU WILL BE PAYING THE CHEAPER PRICE" I responded to the email asking how to get them for that price since the site was still wrong. They didn't respond. Well today I decided to check if they fixed the problem, and I could buy them. The sale price is now $252 and the $99 is no where in sight. Well I saw a live chat option and was told by the chat operator that the part number was changed and they hand no more of that part in stock. She said that the best they could do is sell it at cost which was like $218 and ship it for free. I said no thanks, and told her that I would tell you guys about my experiences. I think it's

BS

to tell me one price and then change it, after THEY never responded to my interest... I would suggest no one buy from them if this is how they treat the customer...

Sparks FTW!

Sparks Toyota-TRD · 03-24-2009, 01:55 PM

Thank you very much.

These actually got buried somewhere and I just dug them up.

I believe these are the last 2 left as well!

Let's get them shipped out today!!!

well crap... checking my budget and I can't afford them.

took too long to find them and I spent too much money on other mods... ahh well maybe someone else will get them... maybe next time I get some "mod" money I'll find them again...

Sparks Toyota-TRD · 03-24-2009, 03:28 PM

That is ok

Hopefully we will have some left when you find that extra $120 to get these shipped to your door.

I paid $80, next-day courier shipped, brand new to Canada from one of our vendors/members here. Forgot which guy, since the hack cleared out my messages. The invoice says Genera Corporation, Jackson Kwok.

These TYC tails look awesome. Plug and Play with no wiring modification. Very pleased.

I've got these tails and love 'em. Unfortunately I didn't buy from Sparks and when I was searching the net for these last year they were all priced at $250. It wasn't a bad investment by any means but it does make me a little sick that I paid so much more for them.

Do these fit the '09 Hatchback? If so, consider them sold!

Sodium Duck · 03-25-2009, 12:06 AM

Doubt it, the 09's have different tail lights.

They unfortunately do not fit the '09. Wish I could help you there.

Any idea who sells these kinds of tails for the '09 LB?

Sparks Toyota-TRD · 03-26-2009, 03:45 PM

I do not know anyone who offers them for the 09. Sorry wish I could help

Thank you all for ordering yours!!

I still have a few left, but it is a week turnaround because we will order from our national warehouse.
