Toyota Fortuner Reservation: Dealership woes...

**luckytruck** · May 23rd, 2005 02:30 PM

bilhin ko na lang yung pajero ni woodfire kaysa humarap ako ng bwisit na mga salesmen.

the only people who can teach toyota to find some manners is the buying public. if you guys decline to purchase the fortuner because of these tactics, then baka magbago ugali nila. until may pila pa yung mga sasakyan nila, di yan sila magbabago.

as a marketing man with a long term approach to selling, it is my opinion they shoud even be more kind and apologetic for the long waiting list. these are the people that you have to be nice to, kasi sila rin ang bubuhay sa iyo in the long run.

pero in reality hotcake pa rin yan...we r but a miniscule percentage of the potential fortuner buyers hehe

incidentally, yug Kia Sorento meron ding 2 to 3-month waiting time. yung may immediate availability lang yung base-model LX. apparently, they're having a hard time shipping in units from South Korea.

yup...

fast moving pa rin ang Sorento. according to a friend of mine, nagtataguan pa nga ng stocks ng Sorento sa dealership.

Malaki kasi kita ng mga agent kapag in-house financing. Even sa insurance kumikita din sila. Pera pera lang talaga.

**Innova_Boy** · May 23rd, 2005 04:25 PM

The reason why they do this was maliit lang ang kita nila per unit sold, when i bought my Innova, my agent said he earned very little only plus 5k for the company(dealer), that's why they told me to get my insurance from them or else my unit will be given to others, so esep esep agad dapat dito...

SO Maybe the best thing to do is to dump Toyota for now and get Isuzu ALterra... Hehe..

WBR,

Kung maganda lang talaga ang Alterra yun na lang ang pipiliin ko. Well, that's just me.

and you actually believed him? 5K / unit... come on...

in the case of Ford, the commission of the dealership is around P100K per Expedition.

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
