dealer is telling me no power option avail in my area

[twixt]

i live in 13078 zip code and my dealer is telling me i cannot get power windows/lock on a liftback auto... but the toyota build car website shows i can.. WTFFFF is my dealer lying?

Think your dealer is giving you wrong info or should be more helpful on locating the car YOU want. Just try another dealer and see if you have better luck.

You can also go to the other dealers web site and check their inventory.

Since the car just began advertisment in the U.S. They are comin out with to many features now. I seen a couple of yaris with power and many without.. hopefully that will change soon. you just gotta keep looking and dont take the dealers word for it and do you own walking around the lot. the car doors are usually open anyways!

Power is harder to get with Yaris,and in my opinion is not worth the $$$, it only gives you something else that can break down and tear up. Crank windows are cool and fun,and safer,but thats just me :)


Ask,him to order you one or try the next dealer,or even go to the next state,you can get power if you want it :)


Happy Yaris Hunting!!!!

Do you want the split, fold flat, tilting, adjustable rear seat? You have to get the power package to get the premium rear seat. That alone is ,nearly, worth the extra $600. If they throw in the power windows and locks it is a bonus. Keyless entry then for only $200 more.
Also the side mirrors are power. No rolling down the window everytime the wife drives the car. Another plus

Sounds worth the $

[Uglyboyed]

thats why everybody shouldve got the sedan S baby yeeeaah (autin powers voice). It automatically comes with all the premium seating and with a sportier look. (even doe it just as slow as the liftback and regular sedan) but hey it still looks sweet!!!

My current loaner is this '95 Ford Exploder with electric windows that only go up and down when they feel like it. I wish it had optional hand cranks when I go to Taco Bell. Cranks are also useful if you do a lot of driving into lakes.

And yes twixt the dealer is lying. Always.

[tds12]

If I had a Ford that the electric windows did'nt work correctly I would think Toyota next time.

[Vodalus]

Indeed. Unfortunately that busted up Ford was the only rig anyone would give me as a loaner for free. The windows are just the tip of the iceberg, believe me. I'm awaiting my 3-door Yaris hatch with great anticipation.

I think I should start a forum,for ppl that like the don't like power options,its not that I really don't like that,its that I just don't see it being worth it for the Yaris,I think Toyota is asking to much $$,to add them right now. As,the Yaris gets more popular etc,I'm sure they will come out with different packages and better options,but 1,700 something for power window,and the other stuff is just too much, in my opinion. I never use cruise,abs not needed on small car like the Yaris. Like I said before,it takes away from the price value of the Yaris, if I max it out with all that stuff,I might was well get a Camry,Fusion,or Mazda 3.

The Yaris caught,my eye, bc of the cheap price and great fuel! I'm taking this car home for $14,137!

I bet next year,the 2008 Yaris will have leather seats, sunroof, power everything, sirius, subwoofers, all the works, I bit you can get one up to 20,000 bucks or more!

But,hey what ever floats your boat, if you are happy getting all power everything then thats great go for it. Just spilling out my 2 cents worth :)


Anyone want to join, my now power ,crank windows club?

Bahahahaha, count me in the crank windows club! I was thinkin' about the same thing when I got mine. No power package nothin', the only thing that is truly "NEEDED" is my A/C.

[Uglyboyed]

no power window here. I'll join the club.. and im still lovin my yaris. (even doe power window wouldnt hurt)

[fearturtle44]

The power windows I love. It is the cruise control that I don't need. And at least the cigarette tray/lighter are GONE........ Finally.

[why?]

I have no power windows either. I actually like it better, the car can be off and I can still close the windows.

Now I am going to have to get power locks installed with my alarm, so the alarm can lock the doors.

How are you going to be able to do that without spendin a bunch of money buying the motors and stuff like that to have power windows. if you know any place that does it let me know cause i wanna do that too.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

your dealer is saying that even by ordering the car still no luck???? i was told for the longest that i couldn't get a 5speed 3door in blazin blue......

[Tankota]

I went to all the dealers I could get to in my area, none had a model with power on the floor.. if they even had a Yaris. Also didn't come accross a single HB. Did finaly find an S-Sedan with auto to test drive. But I was able to order my S-Sedan with the power package out here.

I did notice playing with the Buy Toyota web site, using diffrent zip codes for diffrent regions, that some options are not available in some regions. Here in Southern California for example I can't get fog lights or side air bags, while in others you can. I confirmed this with my dealer. He said he could order it that way if I wanted, but it would then be a real special order and could take months to get one, as it would have to reallocated back in Japan on the shipping side, while if I ordered from what was allocated to my region it would only take a few weeks probably, as one was probably already on the boat over and heading to my area, or at a distrubution point, that they could allocate to the dealer with the order.

If it's showing up as an option under the buytoyota web site for your area, then it should be available. Just a mater if the dealer wants to spend the time getting it. I have no idea how Toyota picks what areas get what, I can understand stuff like the all weather package (also not available in So-Cal) But then it must cost them more to come up with all these combo's. And who's not to say I'd use my Yaris up in the mountains in winter (which I will) so that all weather package and fog lights could have been handy. Actually all I realy wanted was the fog lights, the car looks better with them.. I'll have to find something aftermarket to mount in there..

You want options? Try zip code 45255 for a Yaris S-Sedan Auto on Buy Toyota.com. They go up to option package "K"!! Then try my zip code, 91355. Only A, B, C.
