Messed up? You decide.

A lot of them will likely have 87 octane. Most dealerships (especially for manufacturers like Toyota) that do have a fuel pump usually just carry one octane, likely 87.

Sorry dude, i think people are inclined to disagree with you no matter what because you had a GTR purchased for you...I get WHY your upset, but can't get myself to sympathize with you LOL

PS: your parents bought YOU a GTR and your brother an FRS? shit man, talk about a favorite child...

Yeah, no wonder he's so angry!

Welcome to the real world. If you grow and learn from this lesson then you'll be a better person for it. But you can't expect sympathy from the hundreds of people on this forum who went in and successfully negotiated with the dealership and put deposits down on their car and have ETAs.

A promise and a handshake doesn't cut it. A salesman makes you a promise that he'll sell you a car, get it in writing. Moreover, make sure it is an enforceable contract. I find it hard to believe that a dealership isn't willing to take your money. You should have asked yourself why the sales person wouldn't accept your deposit. What's more likely: that the salesman wasn't interested in taking your deposit OR the salesman couldn't put anything in writing because his allocation was already sold out. He probably wanted to keep you on the hook just in case his other buyers backed out.

Now, you could have done a number of things when you were at the dealership. You could have called the salesman on it. You could have insisted that he put his promise in writing and accept the deposit. You could have asked to speak with the manager. Instead, you just complained on the internet.

Idk though, without knowing who ordered what and when Scion will release the cars from port, this is cutting it close. The car, like I said, is primarily for my little bro, but he's going off to college. I want to teach him how to drive / drive stick before he goes, so when he comes back, and I have the car all modded up, we can go track together. Plus, my parents have supported me with my cars, I want to do something nice for them and my bro and support them financially this time (with a car that has better fuel economy than 18 mpg haha)...

RRnold, btw, are you on ninjette or some 250 forum? I think I've seen you on there before.

That's awesome!! I'm sure a car will be available at another dealership.

No, I'm not on the Ninja 250 forums. The only Kawi forum is ZX10R.net and Kawiforums.

Another member here mentioned that he has seen my avatar on the Club4AG forum and when he sent me the link it happen to be another guy on a green Kawi wearing a blue suit. It looked similar but wasn't me.

LoL, I swear I've seen your avatar somewhere too though.
Maybe on Kawi forums. I had a 250 and my dream bike is the newer gen ZX6R in Kawi green. AND I lived in San Diego for like 6 years for college, so I recognized your location too. Weird. Dejavu?

I really thought this thread was going to be off to the races after the "fucking idiot" comment. Nice to see cooler heads prevail for once on here.

Godzilla35, I have to agree that the dealership was in the wrong for not giving you a heads up when it really could have inconvenienced you. They're potentially going to be selling you a brand new car in the near future so it would help to get off on the right foot.

IMO dealerships (and businesses in general) should try to treat all their customers with respect regardless of how much money they make.

Maybe, what's your name. The last post I made on KF was back in '09 when I sold my suit and I did have a 05 ZX6RR. I'm on several moto forums and met so many people that ride that I call them by their real name and not their s/n. When you were in SD, were you on Hypercycles?

Could not agree more.

YES! Dang, stuff like that bothers me. I was in the UCSD Chapter for awhile, when I had my F2 CBR600. I was such a squid back then. But last, last summer, I bought a newer gen 250 and took the MSF class. I am much more safe / confident now.

Can you adopt me into your family? Maybe I'll get an S2000 out of it.
