when shopping for a brand-new vehicle from an authorized dealer ... we get a piece of paper from the SA that serves as their quotation. it includes the unit price, insurance, LTO registration, miscellaneous fees, chattel mortgage, etc.
some dealers will just give you a price list of all cars ... some dealers will just scribble all the details in whatever piece of paper they have handy at the time.

the price of a brand new car is no joke ... shouldn't they at least have a computer-printed proposal/quotation of some sort ?

has anyone here requested for a formal quotation which includes the price details as well as what are the features included in the vehicle being purchased ?
napansin ko kasi na medyo nagkakaroon ng discrepancies sa mga list of features nila sa brochures and what you end up buying.

I agree dun sa formal quote which seems harder and harder to get nowadays unless you insist and/or say that it's a company buying it. Yun namang discrepancies sa brochure medyo matagal ko na napapansin yan pero may disclaimer nga sa brochure, precisely on features, plus I don't think it's usually under dealers' prerogative but more on the manufacturer's.

Ganun din yung nangyari sa amin, based sa quote nila around 50++K yung insurance so nung sinabi nyang Ililibre nya na yung insurance.. napapayag ako doon sa dealer na yun.. pero pag labas nung invoice around 30++K lang yung insurance...

guys, sa mga balak bumili ng toyota brand, i suggest try to go to toyota alabang, i got a good deal from them. Super bait at magagalang ang mga SA dun lalo na ung naging SA ko name Ms. Livia, ang laking discount ang binigay nya sa akin. Pagdating naman sa after sales super maalaga time to time kinakamusta ang unit ko...at syempre maganda sya ung lang taken na... hehehehe! Just PM me kung kailangan nyo contact # nya... service guaranteed talaga!!! Goodlock!

bro anong unit ba binili mo?? at magkano discount at anong freebies nakuha mo sa Toyota Alabang?

Bad news sa akin yan. If I were in Manila, I would go and try out Toyota Alabang.
I am buying my toyota in Cebu and they only have two branches here.
WALA akong discount na nakukuha!

They only offered me free tint, matting, and seat covers which I think is normal freebiees.

Noong nag canvass ako ng Avanza J. 4 or 5 na casa ang na contact ko. Sa Toyota Alabang ang pinaka magandang deal.

Tip: Magtiyaga sa pag canvass.

dyan din kami kumuha sa toyota alabang ng sedan. One reason is yung SA ay inaanak ng mom ko.
