Ever been to the Mini site? You used to check the box on the JCW package, and it was NOT a factory installed option, maybe it is now?

OK, one example: if you go to a dealer and want power locks added to your car, more than likely they may install an aftermarket kit rather than OEM. Yes I have been to the build your own site. Some of the things they have to will be added at the dealer(for example window tint). Some of the things will be added by the distributor(for example the Vehicle Shield Package) Some of the things will be added when the vehicle is built at the plant. For example, if you want the power package, it will be added at the plant, the majority of the time. If someone buys a non-power package Yaris and wants to add OEM door locks then I could see where the dealer "hates" these situations. The installer is probably thinking, Why didn't they just buy one that already had the package from the plant. It would be easier to add aftermarket locks to a Yaris rather than add the OEM system.

And once again, we are talking about Toyotas, and the Yaris.

No, last time I checked the Bobcat 455 GTO package was about a 4 grand dealer installed option...and even tho' Steeda Mustangs are sold new at the Ford dealerships, they're dropped shipped and built NOT at the Ford factory, etc...

You know what they think?

Yes, that's why I mentioned that some of those clickable build options on the build page for my TOYOTA Yaris was NOT factory installed. And you do realize that lots of work is done on many vehicles, after leaving the factory, after getting off the boat and before being loaded on the semi...and yes, we're talking about your little Toyota Tacoma package that included a K&N filter, on what, about .0006% of new Toyotas being sold? Wow!! LOL!

Once again, we are talking Toyota!! Not other companies. No one cares what other companies are doing. Everything I have said was about Toyota. You are taking what I said about Toyota and applying it to Ford and Mini but you don’t have any information about Toyota?? You are the one that the dealers “hated” some of the mods that that have to install at the dealership. I just repeated what you said but now you’re saying that’s not true? Make up your mind! Yes, as I already stated(thanks for repeating me, again) I know dealers and the distributor can add some things to a vehicle. But my Truck was built in Texas so it was never on a boat. And yes as we already stated, it is less than 1% of the total vehicles. So good job on knowing that .0006% is less than 1%. We are so proud of you! You are learning so much! It brings a tear to my eye!

Mmmmmm--less than 1%? Way less?!!! Yeah, knew Toyota loved installing those K&N filters sooooooooooo often in their new Toyotas. Then that wasn't much of a point you were trying to make about Toyota not having problems with installing K&N filters...way less than 1% looks like a problem to me. Paper FTW!!!!!

btw You just stated that the dealers hated me for installing a mod on my car at their dealership, why? It was just an option that Toyota offered for my Yaris, on their build website...why would they "hate" me for making more money off of me, installing a Toyota part on a Toyota Yaris? We're starting to see just how desperate you are.

Just because Toyota approves of a product doesn't mean they have to put it on more than 1% of their vehicles. There are other products they approve of but are not on a majority of their vehicles.

I didn't say they hated you. I was repeating what you said earlier about how they hate some of the OEM products that they have to install from time to time. Did you forget saying that? How did you get that confused with "you." By you misunderstanding my statement, it looks like you are trying to say that you are an OEM Toyota part?? I, and you said they hate some OEM parts....your response: "They hate me." How did you come up with that?

When you talked about they glued my tip on? When you talked about e-bay products?

How did you get that confused?

And you said several times that I worked for Toyota...why did you lie again?

I was using "hated" as a verb which meant whatever was after "hated" was the item that they hated. After hated, you should have noticed the words OEM parts. Now back to your original statement that dealers "hate" some of the OEM parts they are required to install. Thats what I was referring to.

And yes I did say something about parts off of ebay and them gluing on your tip....Whats the problem?

And yes I mentioned something about you working for Toyota. I already knew you didn't work for Toyota. I was just trying to figure out how you knew soooo much about the company.....
