ano daw reason? Japan plant issues?

Good hunting sweetie...

[sweetiehgirl]

oo daw.. japan issue.. until now, wala pang nilalabas from the planta.. excited pa naman ako..

cjv, meron na bang alarm yung 1.6v?

[cjv_justice]

yup, naka-tap sa horn.

check mo sweetie yung website mismo ng Toyota to check differences sa specs nung G at V variants. www.toyota.com.ph

[sweetiehgirl]

salamat.. wala kase dun yung alarm.. hehe.. hay.. sobrang restless na ko kakahintay.. =(

[number001]

ipitan ng units ngayon. Toyota is taking advantage of the alleged shortage bec. of the march 11 Japan incident.

[sweetiehgirl]

super ipitan.. nakakainis nga e. i have paid my reservation last week, tapos biglang nawala yung discount na 30k, tapos ngayon, wala naman daw nilalabas yung planta..

The dealer almost pulled the same scheme on me. Only thing is, they can't do put that into effect after receiving the P.O. from the bank already. Puro bahabol sila. Neither the bank or I would budge a millimeter.

Still waiting for my unit to be delivered. Not an Altis, BTW.

Are you paying cash?

The thing is, it suddenly became a seller's market after March 11. Toyota is now trying to wrangle every last bit of profit from their allegedly limited stockpile. They do as they please (even if its unethical).

Try other dealers. Have you tried the new dealer, Abad Santos? They have a silver Altis G or E on display for a weeks already. Its still there up to 4 pm this afternoon.

[sweetiehgirl]

yeah, i have tried other dealers, no stock of black 1.6v anymore.. my P.O is already out and just waiting for the unit to become available so I can pay na.. this is really frustrating because i thought when I paid the reservation, the business started there, but they did not honor that..

[cjv_justice]

yikes bad trip naman yang situation na yan... I hope it turns out well.

[sweetiehgirl]

super badtrip talaga.. sana tomorrow, may good news na ang aking agent...

Canvass lang sa ibang dealers, can you refund your reservation?

Ang nangyari samin ganito:
1. Kumuha ng price sa dealer na contact ng company (wife's)
2. Nagkataon may car show, may ibang dealer, mas maganda offer
3. Sinabi yung offer dun sa first dealer, pag di niya ma-match sa 2nd dealer kami kukuha
4. Na-match yung offer, at mas mabilis ang processing kasi regular customer na, kaya dun kami kumuha sa 1st dealer pa din

Ang nakuha namin na originally may charges na:
1. From regular to 3M tint (originally P 2k ata charge)
2. One piece windshield tint (originally P 1.2k ata charge)
3. Window visors (originally not included)

Yung discount, at LTO pareho lang sila, may konti difference sa insurance pero di factor kasi sa company kinuha.

Nag-finalize with the dealer mga week of April after nung MIAS carshow, nakuha car April 16. Note na after na ng Japan earthquake to...sana makatulong.

worse is, ayaw na ng most dealers ng bank financing, gusto nila inhouse in which they are giving me 30% OMA!!!!

Some nice little touches in the Altis I didn't know was included when we bought it:

There are hooks in the rear side of the driver's floor mat to hold it in place. I think this added feature was a direct result of the infamous claims and suits that Toyota had because of accidents from sliding floor mats. The disadvantage is aftermarket floor mats do not have holes for these hooks.


There is a trunk opener switch right under the toyota logo (sorry not clear in the pic). This works in conjunction with the smart key, it opens only when the smart key is nearby (0.7m radius if I remember correctly). I think is only for the V models.

hehe... 'love those features! I sometimes tend to forget the trunk opener sensor part...

Here is one which I don't understand, from what I know a car usually has two horns as standard, the high and the low tone. In the Altis, I saw two horns in front of the radiator, behind the fornt grille. However, when you're facing the engine at the front of the car, you can see another horn on the left side, near the top. Is this a third horn and what is it for?

Baka separate ang horn for alarm sir?

[cjv_justice]

that's for the alarm/panic feature... instead of the siren/speaker housing, it looks like a standard horn, kaya aakalain mong naka-tap siya...
