Came back from dealers. sucks!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

hans_fh · 10-18-2006, 03:31 PM

Just came back from the dealers in SLC. I tried to convince the dealer to trade with another dealer to get my car sooner as u guys taught me. And I showed my money to them. However, they gave me the exactly the same response: NO WAY.

They said that this car is not available. To get one need to give them a deposit of $500. In about three months my car will arrive and they can deliver it to me then. However considering that I want ABS the car may take longer. They can not trade for one because they do not have one to trade.

It sucks. I think in that case, I probably have to put deposit and wait for 3 months or longer....

Man, that sucks. Did you try various dealerships? If not, I would say give that a try.

mikeukrainetz · 10-18-2006, 03:55 PM

dont feel too bad. the yaris was first sold here in canada and we had an abundance of them, even up until earlier this year. a guy from work just purchased a new black yaris manual with air and was told there were only a couple left anywhere, itll be about three or four days until it gets shipped here but he lucked out. anybody with any wishes as far as options go seem to be out of luck. there are quite a few in dealerships around the area but I think its take what you can get. I was told a woman who had a pretty long list of requested options bought a yaris locally here and had it shipped to her address in Ontario.
The dealer in my city said they have sold almost 100 yaris' in the past thirty days - how much of this is bull I dont know.

entreri_21 · 10-18-2006, 04:06 PM

My Yaris was the only manual out of 5 Yarii that they had. And they only had one LB and it was used! Not sure why someone would trade it in, but the LB only had about 150 miles on it. So I guess it just wasn't for someone....

firefly1_0 · 10-18-2006, 04:55 PM

i had to wait for nearly 3 months for mine. i feel your pain.

nick1983 · 10-18-2006, 06:59 PM

Man the toyota dealership I'm at has a couple of the yaris with ABS. I like the standard brakes better.

Lowfront · 10-18-2006, 08:30 PM

Its worth it

Maybe you should consider finding a dealer out of your area, and flying to get your YARIS..................................

Like take a vacation somewhere in the USA, and drive back in your YARIS.

Your idea is awesome:) I will think about it

captainzerocool · 10-19-2006, 01:08 AM

My local dealer says the same. Three months min. The thing is I have seen only THREE Yaris's around.

Something smells funny here. I don't really think the dealers want these cars on their lots for some reason.

foober · 10-19-2006, 01:36 AM

YOu could phone around to different toyota dealerships. A freind of mine had to do that.

I guess the yaris is the second most wanted car in north america. And that they are very hard to come by. My friend was told at least 3 months to get hers.

I myself had to wait 3 months to get mine. But its more than worth it. Its a great car.

i saw one on the lot of every dealer i drove by while i was in toronto two weeks ago. i've only seen 2 on the road here since they came out, saw plenty driving around in toronto though too.

tonywenzel · 10-19-2006, 08:13 PM

Just put your deposit down. They told me three months too but it was actually about 6 weeks when I got the call to come pick it up.

roadrunner · 10-19-2006, 09:33 PM

What are you looking for in your Yaris? Sedan or Hatchback, and with what options? If you posted this info, maybe some of us would look for you.

hans_fh · 10-20-2006, 12:05 AM

What I am looking for is the manual transmission sedan base model+convenience+ABS

Driver · 10-20-2006, 03:23 PM

If the dealer has a web site you can check out his inventory online. I checked the inventory of the dealer who has my order and they only had one Yaris on hand. I ordered my Yaris on Aug 14 and it's due in two weeks. I'll get the Vin number before the car is shipped. that way I can get my plates changed ahead of time.
