Hi folks, so I bought a Hilux from my local Toyota last week. The deal was pretty good. Think could do better, but not the point.
Anyway, 2 days after paying the deposit I got a call from the dealer saying, "Listen, we almost run out of stock, so can't give you the car in color you want. The next batch is going to be new stock and they are changing the specs next month, so it will be an extra $1000".
Called Toyota headquarters to confirm the spec change - they refused to comment.
I recon they realized they are doing enough sales this month, so decided they are better off losing my business than not making a good enough margin. Unless of course I agree to pay them a $1000. If that's true, that's a pure extortion.
What is the best course of action in your opinion?
