New Car Dealer Wanting to Cancel Contract!?

[Saiya]

Hi all,

This relates from my previous post I did:

http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=5215

I just got a call from my dealer informing me that my Conquest I have requested is not available in an 05 plate.

He explained to me that I can either have a full refund of my deposit OR pay an extra $700 and get an 06 plated model.

The total price drive away would bring it up to $26 600.

It comes with the options of Auto, ABS and Rear Spoiler including the normal Conquest features.

Is this a good deal? Take it or leave it?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Edit Arrrh, Can a Mod please edit the Poll I stuffed it up.

Hi all,

seems a bit much, sportivos arent that much more, and they come with a lot more feature & power

id be telling the dealer to stick it up his ***** and get you an 06 plated one and he can cop the diff, they should have though about this before they took your money.

[MotoMan]

well.. personally id say learn to drive a manual.. and get a stivo..

If you're set on an Auto Conquest.. tell the dealer you want a full refund..

you could also tell him you found it cheaper elsewhere.. dont go into specifics.. they have no right to ask you where your getting it cheaper..

it all depends how good your poker face is

[ZAV]

I agree, if your set on the conquest, then tell him to give you the 06 at no extra cost. Dont pay the extra 700, cuz thats too much.

I have spoken to my friend at Noble Toyota, he said he has a red one in stock now. You can go and find him, his name is Philip.

hahaha the ol' ill talk to my boss routine.. this shifts the blame to his boss.. so it looks as if the guy you're dealing with is busting his balls for you..

He will ring you back and tell you they can do it for the agreed price, plus some sort of extra..

PUSH FOR MORE!

tell him you have found it cheaper elsewhere.. or go elsewhere and tell them the price you have..

get another toyota to beat the original one

The whole reason they go "talk to the manager" is so they can suss out of you what your highest price is.

common phrase would be "Ok if i got to my manager with 26k and he accepts are you willing to sign today?" this way he has seen ur lowest price. often the "manager" isnt really th emanager but his mate who is playing the role for the day. It sjust a big game that they play with you to get the most $$$ from you.

you should say "lets see what he can do for me first" - remember ur the purchaser .. dont feel any pressure from them .. u need to reverse the situation and put the pressure on the dealer so they feel they need to sell u the car until they make minimal profit.

i got quoted $24k conquest auto driveaway without haggling but i got the ascent sport instead for 22k

Hey guys and gals just an update for ya's.

I am now a owner of a new Toyota Corolla Conquest 06 for $26,100, an extra $200 instead of the $700 (With options of Auto, ABS and spoiler and a full talk of fuel).

Hopfully will get it by the end of March.

They were more willing to negotiate when I politly said that I would like to cancel the contract due to the increase of price. The dealer was very professional though the whole process i was very impressed.

Ive been doing the figures and im saving about $3,800 of the total RRP including options. So I think its a prity good deal.

Just like to thank you all for the support :)

As soon as I get my ride ill post some pic's up :)
