Replying to: lhanson (Sep 23, 2006 4:15 am) Thanks again.  I'm anxious because it's been a little over 5 weeks since I put in my "order" with the sales guy in Nashua.... they have been running into trouble checking for my liftback with power package because the computer won't let them enter that option in to check what's coming in... One minute I hear they won't be getting any in New England with power package, then I chat with Toyota.com and they verify that indeed the power package is an option here... then I hear that it is, but none/not many are shipping here... I don't mind waiting but if I wait 5 months and my current car depreciates so much I can't get the trade promised somewhere else I'm fu%^$$#.

Replying to: ulthipster (Sep 23, 2006 5:33 am) It has now been over 8 weeks from placement of my order. Not only is my Yaris not here, but the salesman and manager say they can't tell me ANYTHING about my order. The company on the verge of becoming the top seller in the U.S. can't tell me ANYTHING about my order. This would have been the first new vehicle and first japanese car I have bought and my estimation of Toyota is starting to sink. Computers, robots, internet, cheap long distance and they can't even communicate. 2 more weeks and we're done. |

Replying to: robertkn (Sep 23, 2006 8:33 am) I am a little dismayed at Toyota's apparent lack of communications with their dealer network. I agree, with as easy and 'free flowing' as data is to send around the world today, one would think the dealer network would be kept a little better informed as to what is arriving and when. Perhaps they are informed and just unwilling to put their necks on the line - in which case it still is a reflection on Toyota as a company. I was quoted a max wait time of three months by the dealer and when (and if) that time is reached and I don't physically have my car, the deal is off and Toyota will have lost my business forever. (They ain't got the market cornered on style, price, quality, performance, etc., etc.).

Replying to: robertkn (Sep 23, 2006 8:33 am) I just wish the power package was standard! I want the keyless entry and power mirrors and upgraded radio.. I could do without the power windows.. I hate my VW Golf, it's been a nightmare since I bought it brand new 4 years ago.. the last issue was a month ago when the damn power window just fell into the door.. at least they covered it out of warranty b/c they had an issue with the passenger side window. I love Toyota from past experience. I inherited my dad's Celica when I was in high school and it never had to go to the shop.... only issue back then was mufflers.. and then I had a honda and that too never had to go to the shop. I will never buy a VW or recommend one...

Replying to: puffnstuff1 (Sep 23, 2006 1:01 pm) dumb AND insulting ! I usually engage "bright" people like that for the entertainment value. In this case, I would've asked him to explain why Toyota would waste their money taking out the back cover ad on Time magazine (about a month ago), specifically marketing that model car to the American public if Americans "don't want them". Oh! I see, that is why they paid for that ad: to convice us to buy something we don't really want... I get it now.... |

| The local dealer was finally able to make a 'trade' and got me a similar one to the one I ordered. Apparently the factories weren't keeping the dealers informed and I was getting anxious after 10 weeks. Gettting a flint mica sedan with ABS and Side curtains. I assume they are getting it from the phily area thats where I was able to locate a bunch. I also know that in meadville Pa they have a Silver one with ABS and side curtains. Thats about 20 minutes from the Ohio border but my dealer couldn't get a trade on that one. Just FYI | |

I understand that I'm just a lowly car guy, but I tried to warn you guys ... The "ordering" they did wasn't really ordering at all. It's referred to as "preferencing", and as frustrating as it is, it usually works out within 4-6 weeks... Unfortunately NOT with the Yaris, at least thus far. The good news is, we are in production run B already (you'll see 1421B now instead of A on your MSRP), so we've (at least at my store), started seeing a few more in the last couple weeks. If the fibbing got to you though, personally I'd yank my deposit. I NEVER claim to be "ordering" a car for a customer, and if they ask what "preferencing" is, I'll gladly explain it to them. T

Replying to: lhanson (Sep 26, 2006 6:46 pm) Shouldn't be long before the Yaris is as least as plentiful as the Echo was (even though there weren't 15 on the lot, we could still FIND one from time to time haha)... We probably have enough demand right now (based upon the leads I receive), to sell the next 20 within a couple days or so (long as they don't all hit at once lol), almost regardless of equipment. This is somewhat good news! T
