Welcome. Just read your blog. Wow! Did you lose any deposit for walking away from the sedan?

Welcome.
We all know what the new car high feels like. That ordeal must have been just an incredible buzz kill. I think you may have to watch your terminology as I notice you refer to the car as a 4-door. Since your dealers have only had to deal with the 4 door hatch for a couple of months, they may tune in to 4 door and think sedan. The hatch is typically referred to as either 3dr or 5dr, leaving only the sedan as a 4dr model. Anyways, happy motoring. I know you'll absolutely love it.

Plus, another dealer told us it was a common practice to practically bait-and-switch, if the car was already on the lot and the one you want is not. I guess I'll never know if it was on purpose or not, but it doesn't really matter. What made me the most angry was he just thought I was dumb, because he tried to tell me 4-door/5-door hatches weren't even out yet. ... Moral of the story: get everything written down. Because I couldn't prove at all that I had said hatchback, and I had no concrete paperwork from him that we had been dealing with a sedan, lol. It was all a big fiasco, haha. Thanks for the nice welcome!! :) |

Welcome! And sorry to hear about the problems, but what's important now is that you have a Yaris!

I bought my '09 Blazing Blue 3dr HB in November and have just started posting in the forums the last couple of weeks (after lurking in the background for a while). Already have a few mods and I get my American Racing Aero Chrome wheels installed Saturday!

2001 Yaris vvti
Hi guys, great forum you have going on.
Just a question, (excuse my ignorance), but does a 2001 model yaris vvti have a timing belt or chain? I know the newer models have chains but for older models 2000 - 2002 is this true? Thanks in advance. |
