Changed Mind About Order!
Okay, so after much agonizing and vacillation and a nationwide self-search for a stripped-down '09 Yaris, I've put the deposit down on a somewhat "loaded" '09, they've located one, I've signed to pay the rest for it when it arrives (transported from another dealership), but I'm not happy.
The more I think about all the bells and whistles I "had" to get as part of the various add-on "packages," the more unhappy my frugal self is. I'm paying more than I want for a bunch of stuff I don't need ($150 floor mats; "heavy-duty" heater - is the other a "wimpy" heater??? - an "extra-large" windshield washer fluid receptacle... And I'm paying for a rear defroster TWICE - once in the convenience package and again in the all-weather guard package; huh???). In short, I feel ripped off. It arrived last night (I've already driven by the dealership and seen it; cute, but "loaded); are not open today (Sunday). Am considering going in tomorrow morning and telling them I've decided I want an '08 instead of the '09 (it's $1k less). Maybe I could even get one without all these gadgets (rear MP3 player audio outlet... Puh-leez). Yes, the '09 is being delivered, but surely they can sell or trade it, and surely there's an '08 out there (in fact, I know there are within the state; this one came from Nashville). Those of you with car dealer/dealership experience, how likely am I to be killed on the spot or yelled at or actually hit? Or might I be successful??? Am I legally bound now to buy that particular '09, or just "some car" with my deposit already paid? I AM buying, and I am buying from them, but want to be happy; isn't that what the buyer should be? "The customer is always right"... And, hey, it's an otter's prerogative...
