malaking problem Innova G 2.0 VVTI

[redorange]

yup sir ganito po nangyayari. gamitin ko na po example ung nangyari last thursday, bale nung friday po tumawag ung customer nag inquire, humingi ng disc. etc. tapos po nung nagkasundo na posa deal she requested if pwede po i demo ung unit sa haus nya. so monday po punta kame dun para ipakita mismo what unit she will be getting fr. us. sinabi na din namen na iyun na din mismo ang ide deliver namen since un na ung color na gusto nya. pumayag naman po sya kc if gusto po nya ng ibang unit ok lang naman umorder kame ulet sa HARI. so ganun po ang nangyayari sa amen. pag ok na ung deal tapos nag request po ng demo tsaka palang po kame naglalabas ng unit.

If you are selling them the unit they will test drive why do you need to disconnect the odometer?

Ganoon pala.

Kasi para saakin, I like to personally inspect and pick the unit (if possible) straight from the dealer's lot or warehouse (not showroom). Pati yung bayaran at pick-up also at the dealer (not delivered to the house or office) so I can inspect the unit again.

opo sir. actually mas gusto din po namen na pini pick up ung unit samen kc baka kung mapaano po ung sasakyan pag byahe.

sir kaya po ginagawa ito ay iniiwasan po namen na sabihin nga na demo unit ung ibibigay namen sa customer. ini inform nman po namen na the unit that we demo nung monday is un na din ung ide deliver nung thursday. kung ayaw nman nang ganun nung customer kukuha kame ng bagong stock sa HARI.

Why not just explain to the customer that the Km in the odometer is because you had to drive it to their house. If it's disconnected doesn't the customer ask you why the odometer isn't moving when they are test driving the unit? If you let me test drive a car without a working odometer I would be very suspicious of the vehicle and the actual Km reading on the odometer.

Haaay... Toyota and Isuzu delivery... with Innovas, Fortuners and Alterras racing at 120-140 km/h up the South Super Highway on their way to Manila. Wonderful way to break in "green" engines, huh?

I can't honestly comment on whether your fuel consumption is bad or not. If your Innova is an automatic and you're driving in Makati-level traffic, it's possibly quite normal. But with the odometer and speedometer non-functional, how can you tell?

Also, the trip-meter and fuel consumption computer isn't completely accurate, as it gauges transient fuel consumption. Press all the way down on the gas and it'll go way down. Coast to a stop and it'll hit 20 km/l. The only accurate way to tell is to calculate gas usage from tank to tank, with knowledge of the actual distance travelled.

I've never heard of disconnected odometers on Toyotas before... on Hyundais, sometimes, but not often.

sir kaya nga po sinasabi din namen sa customer na ung unit mismo nung monday na pinakita namen sa kanya is yun na din yung unit na ibibigay namen sa thursday. and yes tinanung po nung customer bkt hindi gumagana ung speedometer. sinabi po namen ung reason namen na baka kc mapagkamalan na demo unit un. ok naman sa kanya nung delivery namen nung thursday wala naman sya naging reklamo.

Hindi ba mas mapagkakamalang demo unit kung hindi nakakabit ang speedometer? Kasi parang may tinatago pag hindi nakakabit.

tama si sir niky, only a few manufacturers have car carriers. And most of the brand new cars grabe ihataw sa south superhiway,sometimes i just shake my head and pity those people at the receiving end of those vehicles. Cars are pretty expensive nowadays and yung iba nga todo kayod para lang makabili ng brand new car. Malamang yung innova na nabili and passed on as "brand new" ay shuttle ng mga staff or worse yun ang dinidisplay sa mga malls as demo units. Saan mo ba nakuha yung unit mo?

[Piraeus]

Its very bad to know that you have been deceived and your brand new unit has been drive-tested by a number of people already. Tsk-tsk. Saving all that hard-earned money thinking about the honor and prestige that you'll be the first ever on its seat.

So, better pala kung sa Batangas Dealers kumuha kasi they're shipping all of these cars/vans/suv's to the Batangas City Port? Agapan na kaagad, di ba?

[oldblue]

ganito lang yan eh, sa dami ng SM Malls including Greenhills, Ayala, Robinson and others, tapos maglalagay ang Toyota/Hyundai/Honda/Suzuki etc ng demo units sa bawat mall na ito ... that's more than 10 malls, hence more than 10 demo units sabay-sabay

for 1.5M per car, that's 15M worth of demo unit na automatically become as "used" category. highly doubt that dealers can afford such a move ...

so whether we like or not, some of us are driving cars that were once demo units. usually, the demo unit might be the cleanest car in the inventory hehehe no way of knowing, just pray or keep your fingers crossed ...

basta dont do unto others o wag masyado metikoloso, you'll be fine.
