Where is my Yaris? · 03-28-2007, 01:05 PM

Hello,

I need some advice. This is my situation:

The first week of November I went to a Toyota Dealership and put 500 dollars down for a Toyota Yaris Liftback with the Power Package with alloy wheels and abs brakes. The dealership valued my trade in at 1000 dollars.

With my trade in and my deposit the total of the car out the door was going to be 14,097.

I was told that it would take 12 to 16 weeks for the car to arrive. During the waiting period i was contacted and told that my car had arrived. then i was told it was not my car because it did not have abs brakes. During the waiting period I barely got a call from anyone on an update. I constantly called the dealership.

Pass forward to last week, over 4 months later and the car is set to arrive. When I called the dealership to verify that the car was for me I was told that it was. I mentioned on the call that the car did not say it had abs brakes in the inventory.

So I told them what are you going to do now. They gave me three options:

1. Get my money back.
2. Wait three more months (Yeah right, mind you my trade in has been at the dealership all this time.)
3. or buy another car a Scion Xa <- his idea. I said hell fucking no. I could had bought an xa 5 months ago. I hate the xa.

I really want a yaris and as much as i don't like the sedan I said i was willing to buy one if they could come close to the 14,097 price that I was given from before. I was told that they would check on that.

I finally got a quote on a sedan with the options i wanted on the liftback for 15,474 out the door that is including trade in and deposit. They said they were willing to go down a couple of hundred dollars. Fine, i dont have that in writing so i wont believe it to I see it.

Now my question is, what would you do?

My issue is this, I am planning to pay cash for my car, not only I was mislead all this time, but now I feel that I shouldn't give my hard earned cash to these people. They expect me to pay 1,000 extra for a car i didnt want in the first place and i could had bought 5 months ago. This was their mess up not mine, i stuck to the deal damn it.

FYI- This all because of abs brakes.
