Playing the waiting game... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

hans_fh · 10-09-2006, 08:10 PM

I just paid my deposit in Utah for a silver sedan with manual transmission and AM/FM radio. The dealer told me it will take 2-3 months to get my car. Acutally I have planed to drive my brand-new Yaris to have a long trip by Dec 14th (4000 miles)and the hotel has been booked. I know it takes high risk because it is possible that I cannot get my car. But I still want to wait, and pray. The dealer also mentioned that there is possiblity that I can get lucky to get the car sooner.

I really cannot wait!

Yeah Baby! I'm finally able to post, ahd some issued but, now ready to share some thougts!

I 've been waiting for almost month and a half to get the "Premium Version" offered in Mexico, Barcelona Red, 15' aluminim wheels, which is much pretty like the " S" version, but without the spoilers. The salesguy told me that I had to wait 2 months at the most to get this version and color. He used to call me to offer other colors, but it was worth the wait to get this awesome color, I'm picking it up 10/14!

I'm picking up my New Meteorite Metallic Yaris Liftback with power pkg and Abs brakes on Saturday. It was a long journey, but well worth the wait. I had preferenced the Liftback Yaris from 2 dealerships in my area NJ and was waiting 3+weeks, but my dealerships told me they were unable to get a power package liftback allocated to their dealership, so they were going to have to trade with another dealership that is out of the region. I then did a search and found 4 Liftback Yaris's with the options I wanted out of state. I told my local dealerships this and they said that the other dealerships do not want to trade their Yaris's to them. So I took the matter into my own hands and drove 3 hours on Monday to Maryland and purchased the Yaris. I then returned back to my local dealerships and got back my deposit. My advice to those of you that are waiting, try doing a search every other day if you have the time in your neighboring states and you might get lucky like me and find your car. I can't wait to do Mods, Car already has the rear spolier on it. I wanna put in Oem style FOGS(Can't find OEM no part number),Cruise Control,Mud guards,alloy wheels(I want the 5 spoke alloys that they have in the brochere, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyway thanks everybody for your help GO YARIS.

What type of "search" did you do in order to find out what cars the dealers had in stock? Is there a website that I can go to or do I have call all the dealers in my area? Thanks in advance.

littlecarlove · 10-31-2006, 04:14 PM

I put my deposit down on the 24th so I’m only one week into the wait…
I’m already going nuts.

Go to Toyota.com click on locate a dealer, go advanced search, in advanced search I chose the dealers in my neighboring states.Example PA,MD VA. But you can choose the dealers by zip or in your home state. I had to chose dealers out of state, because Toyota doesn't built the Yaris LB with the options I wanted there. It will then list all the dealers in the state you are searching, and you can check there local inventory through there websites and keep doing that until you find the Yaris you want. Good luck, if I didn't get my Yaris this way I would still be waiting.

finally! i'm playing waiting game too.. ordered mine today..
07 yaris 5DR RS hatchback (liftback in US) in Polar white.
there is none in BC so i have to wait for next shipment.
could be end of Oct. if i'm lucky or hopefully latest by Nov.
i'm sooooooo excited..

sov · 10-17-2006, 10:54 PM

skc: If you get your car before I get mine, I'm not gonna be pleased...haha You ordered the same car as me. Did you get A/C?? apparently ppl who usually order 5 spd don't get a/c, that is why most dealerships don't have it instock. Well at least that's what the dealership told me.

Well guys here's an update...I got an email from the dealer the other day and they supposedly found one that is in production(in Japan) so I should be expecting it between Nov. 15-Dec. 15. We'll see *fingers crossed*

but i want white color.
and yes i got b package which includes a/c.
i'm really excited and CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

KittenRD · 10-20-2006, 09:55 PM

It's been a little over 2 months since I ordered mine. I am getting a ton of options though.

fred812 · 10-29-2006, 04:11 PM

Ordered in april, was told to say a little prayer every night because the sept delivery was not solid!, Then it was October, now its been moved to november! Now I see why people drop out of the waiting game. I never had a problem getting a toyota ever! Im moving to canada...aaaaahhhhhhhhh

bugnuts · 10-29-2006, 04:54 PM

I researched the Yaris Liftback probably 6+ months before making a purchase, I spoke with about 5 different dealers about it and was never able to find one in stock, It was always the sedans on the lot...Finally I moved to a different state and went down to the local dealership to see what could be done, They took in all of my options and checked on availability.. Well it just so happened that there was exactly what I wanted already scheduled to arrive in a few months, the only problem was that it had one extra option that I did not want to pay for so the dealer split the cost of the package with me and took my deposit for the car that was due in about 90 days, The dealer told me that when a person orders a custom package from toyota and if it is not something that is totaly outragous, Then they just wait until the factory just happens to build what they wanted and that is the car that gets sent to the customer...Well that sounded totally nuts to me, especially due to the fact that I was raised in a big three city and if you wanted a custom car ordered then that is what you got, The factory build the car just for you! I decided to check out these facts with some other local toyota dealer and sure enough they all said this is true! So when you order a car from toyota you are just reserving the one that gets built to your specifications, and they are not building it just for you. This is why they will never be able to exactly tell you when it will be coming from Japan. It is always a waiting game from Toyota, But worth it!!!

Anyways...I'll keep you guys posted and let you know when I finally receive my car. Hopefully it will be soon because I have absolutely no patience

I waited 9 weeks for my stick shift sedan and it was worth the wait. I've got over 1,700 miles on it and am averaging 33.43 mpg. It's worth the wait.

qpid · 01-20-2007, 10:19 PM

After two dealerships pretty much refused to try hard to get a Blazing Blue HB with Power Packager and Cold Weather, I searched auto trader for a blue yaris over $14k and found one 2hrs away from me. I went this morning and purchased it! :)

the_boss · 04-09-2007, 02:45 PM

I bought a "basic" 5 door grey manual hatch March 30th....got it on wednesday April 4th...only few days wait but I was running in circle and my wife almost file for divorced

LOVE THE NEW CAR SMELL
