this isnt toyota's fault, this is their(all dealers') way to make business, and as a car buyer, everyone should beware of these, when the money is in yr hand, u have the power to nego and talk, if u paid deposit, u start lossing 80% of yr negotiating power(or should i say all, if u put too much deposit). Dont put deposit unless everything finalized, if he bullshxt bout smb also interested, and urge u to put deposit, tats farkin bullshxt, there are more similar/same car out there waiting for buyer. IT IS CRUCIAL that buyer check everything carefully, and if the agent said they will fix it, get it written down and signed! Oral presentation cant be proved by law, u will suffer in the end. If u bought it from auction, they wont prepare RACV checks, but u bought from dealer, u should get RACV check by them even before putting deposit. Well, take it as an experience then~ In that case either hire a lawyer or only buy new cars how about proper laws put in place to stop this sort of thing with jail terms for repeat offences. Incase you didn't read my other post's I tried to get a RACV check but they were booked out for about 3 to 4 weeks. And in this case YES it's Toyota's fualt cuase it came from a Toyota yard.
