Toyota Fortuner Reservation: Dealership woes...

[BlueBimmer]

5k?? thats bullcrap, anong klaseng business yan kng ganyan ang profit margin?? magbenta nalang sya ng kikiam at squidball mas malaki pa kita nya. niloloko ka lng ng agent mo para 'maawa' ka sa kanya

[mrpink]

well alterra is already launched and d pa raw mahaba pila.. that is the good alternative to fortuner since in thailand it is direct competitor.

The alterra might eat up the xtrail sales ... but if they make an effective campaign ... pwede nila maisahan yung toyota ... especially if the dealerships are playing hardball ... gawa lang sila ng promo price campaign ... slash a 100K-200K below the fortuner ... tignan natin kung di maglipatan yung mga naka waiting list sa fortuner ... it's not just about revenue .. it's also about getting market share ..

According to the sales agent from Toyota Batangas they are only getting 5 thousand per unit sold(altis/vios) I don't know how much they get if they sell a prado or a land cruiser.

that's just the marketing agent's commission.

the dealership's commission is another thing though.

[IMm29]

yeah, that's just the agent's commission. i imagine the dealer getting much more. or else, like BlueBimmer said, mag-squid ball na lang sila.

It seems the dealers are one in prioritizing In-House Financing and Insurance. Just talked to Toyota Alabang. Dang!

.. when I was scouting for a new car this May ... they mentioned that all Toyota dealers had a meeting and decided to standardize all their messages to the public .. that's why i suddenly lost freebies and discounts that they originally quoted me .. a toyota dealer told me if i get a better deal from a different dealership .. to tell them ... para maisumbong nila ...

[boybi]

yung 5K na yan, commission ng sales agent yan. actually, dyan din kinakaltas mga extra freebies na hihingiin mo (except for the standard free items like matting, ordinary tints, and seat covers).

the dealer gets from 50K to 100K depending on the unit sold. actually, maliit lang yan considering the price of vehicles are 1M or more. nabubuhay ang mga dealers sa service centers nila.

you got in-house financing and insurance?

[lexus]

toyota cagayan has no inhouse financing but they do get commision from bank finance arrangement. i have no commitment if i pay in cash or i'll have it financed. sabi ng account officer ko sa bank if you have it financed the chattel mortgage will cost around 9000++ but if you check sa price list ng mga casa, they are charging 24,000++. so dito yong malaking income nila. by the way price of fortuner 4x4 here is 1,498,000.00 plus 22,000.00 for the freight on board

kaya ako, re-financing yung ginagawa ko. bale parang bibilhin ng cash ng bank sa dealer yung car, tapos ipapa finance sa akin. wala ng dealer's commission (usually 1% ng amount financed), and wala pang patong sa chattel mortgage. mababa pa ang rate (around 5%).

[katsudon_ph]

I wonder if toyota philippines knows about the bad practice of their dealer. I think for them, they would prefer cash payment for cash flow purposes.. but then i could be wrong. hopefully TMPC would have a hotline for customer irked by greedy dealers and in turn make a proper complaint regarding that matter.

[andre]

my friend got his fortuner bec. he decided to accept the financing rate of the dealer. he cant wait for 2 months

[katsudon_ph]

ako its more on principle already.. obviously these agents are thinking of short term gain. they don't see the long term gain of having a loyal customer ...

[Innova_Boy]

Well just wait another 6 more months and let's see if the fortuner is still the SUV to beat in terms of sales/share of the total SUV market....

WBR,

[katsudon_ph]

well they can shove it to their a$#..

[Dinxx]

tama. intay kayo after mga 6 months. pag wala ng pila, sila na ngayon mag hahabol. mga walang hiya sila!

hmmm, here's another instance of dealer abuse:

over at toyota pasong tamo, they are bundling their fortuners with a PHP 70T dvd system. if you want to get your unit early, then you have to buy it with the dvd system installed

while the dealer gets the units from the toyota plant without the dvd system, once it arrives at this dealer's premises, they immediately install the dvd system and then sell it as one on a take it or leave it basis

WTF

[ILuvDetailing]

I agree, wait for the next batch. Usually you get more features/freebies on later batches...

Paging Maranz... daming complaints sa Toyota, maybe you can share the dealers side of the story.
