my car was requested by me, there weren't any in the inventory,
so it was selected, and stuck on a boat [that happened to be ready for another
load of toyotas....] for the slow trip to Jersey
where it was put on a transporter and sent to the dealer lot.
Thats how all dealers work....nothing special about that. Sorry to bust your ballon.

sorry, but 4 other dealers I went to (while price shopping) all said they would have to ferry my request from anther dealer. I went to my favorite dealer
and they said well gee whiz we get them first anyhow, and never, ever do dealer swaps, because we get them before anyone else.

so sorry to bust yer bubble but I think 8 times president award and #1 sales leader gets some type of priority. or I am being lied to.

my dealership has a second floor cafeteria with menus, and a gym if you wanna work out while your car is worked on..., and wireless laptops you can grab and roam around...you don't need your own... a mezzanine, big screen TV's , endless free Starbucks....

things are different

So the only way to get a car in from another dealer is by ferry. So that means you went to 4 different islands to shop for a Yaris? Damn, thats dedication! I think a smart person would have gone to the inland dealer first. Did you have to SCUBA dive to get to the dealers?

ps...How long did it take for your ordered Yaris to come in?

Just trying to get some clarification on your post. You said your "favorite" dealer was #1 in your area but you went to 4 other dealers before going to your "favorite"? So you must have been talking about your 5th favorite, right?

ps... you still didn't answer the question....How long did it take for your Yaris to come in after you placed your order at your "favortie" dealer?

the info is on this board... how about trying the SEARCH feature ? you can figure it out, can't you ?

don't tell me you know everything, but can't figure this out from the breadcrumbs around the internet
and this forum. Search for username 127.0.0.1... you will get a lot of results.

Still avoiding the question I see. Wow you finally broke the 100 post barrier! Congrats! Wow, some many results!

ps...I already knew the answer to the question. I was just trying to get you to post it again. You said it took your dealer 1 month. It took my dealer 28 days. So I guess that makes my dealer better than yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
