Response from Toyota on my special order
I thought everyone with special orders in might find this interesting!!
Many ways to interpert this but in my mind it says they will not be building my exact car for me...unlike what the dealer lead me to believe when he took my $500. 15 weeks ago! About one more week before I confront the dealer and he has to fess up!!! I really doubt he will have my car built for me!! I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.. MY EMAIL TO TOYOTA... Toyota Customer Experience Customer (David Rosenstein) 10/15/2006 07:42 AM Dear Toyota, I wanted a yaris liftback with manual tranny and the power package, fogs, rear spoiler and keyles entry. Since you are not building them this way for my dealer area in NY NJ my toyota dealer, "prestige toyota " in Ramsey NJ took my order for one, $500 deposit and told me the factory wait could be as long as 16 weeks. Its now 15 weeks and I'm wondering if MY car is actually being built ? My dealer does not have a production # or vin # for me and says unlike BMW cars, toyota does not give out these #'s!!! Does toyota actually fufill specisal orders or has my dealer just took my $$$ and dragged me along hoping to find a similar one in the allotments? IS MY CAR BEING BUILT? How can I find out? Does toyota actually accept orders and build yaris for individual customers? PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!!! I'VE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTA'S FOR 30 YRS AND RATHR STICK WITH YOU GUYS... PLEASE GIVE ME SOME REAL DIRECT HELP HERE, THANK YOU, SINCERELY, DAVID S ROSENSTEIN, DC PS...NEVER FELT I COULD TRUST THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY NEVER ANSWER MY QUESTION DIRECT AND ALWAYS GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT MY ORDER...

We appreciate your interest in the Yaris, and apologize for the difficulty experienced in trying to find your vehicle of choice. Our vehicles are equipped with options and in model grades that we have found to be popular in the geographic area in which they are marketed.
