You paid for the car before actually seeing it? When you order a car your dealership doesn't send that order over to Japan and then they make it the way you want it. Your dealership submits a perference order to the local distributor and whenever they receive a Yaris matching your order they will send it to your dealership. The more picky you are about features, the longer it is going to take. Exactly what did you order on your Yaris?

I used to work at a dealer and this quote is exactly what they would do. Which is why its taking so long they havent found your car yet when they thought they would have it by now. Also that coating they put on the car is a load of bull. its just something finanace does to pad the sale.

Just like how honda used to sell perma plate. Some special coating that would make your paint last forever. They charged only what they thought they could get the customer to pay. Some people payed 150 for it some people payed 1000 for it. All it was , was some cheap wax thats it.

When i bought my yaris and the guy started talking. I simply said I want only the car nothing else. I dont want your fancy addons and your gap insurance and all the other crap. I just want the car and thats it.

Also the moment you start to get picky and want this and that then your bargining power starts to go down. Since its not a car on thier lot your less likely to negotiate. I am not sure what the going rate for a yaris is in canada but in US dollars id say thats way to much.
