anyway i asked him to check the website and talk to his manager. he said he will email me the contract to show me the break down but i have just emailed him my calculation of the breakdown from TMCA site.

no discount, no freebie. i knew this would happen as i pre-ordered in Feb and if i play hardball now i will need to wait months instead of July.

oh well, end of rant.
Literally going through the same thing. Gonna have a nice chat with the dealer tomorrow.

Everyone should also note, they are legally obligated to honour the website price, according to the ACCC.

anyway this is the highest amount i was prepared to pay so i guess i'm a sucker and couldn't do any better or wait for a few more months but for a few hundred bucks i get to own my car now instead of a few months wait if i start again and i will receive the car before my birthday so i guess i shouldn't complain too much.

ETA is 12 July. i must sell my car asap.
So the same thing happened to you as well. Good to see you sorted them out. I now hope my dealer plays ball.

Read the fine print on the TMCA site 86 pricing page. It said clearly the driveaway price includes THE MAXIMUM DEALER DELIVERY a dealer can charge. They are breaking TMCA rules if they charge more.

Don't let them treat us like idiots and bend over to take whatever they serve us. I will voice my opinion with TMCA new car purchase survey (if they do this like many brands do).

Took a gt for a test drive today in Ballina NSW. First person to take this car on the road. Put the car hard through its paces in the twisty stuff. The car handled beautifully. The sound in the cabin was nice and the seats are fantastic. Sat in the GTS and imho it is worth the extra money.

The tacho in the middle made me never look at the Speedo...I think the electric readout in the gts will be a big benefit.

Both cars were in silver and looked a treat. Wasn't a fan of the gt rims but the gts rims are much better in person. The rims are all grey/silver and not chrome/grey like in the photos.

Drive away price gts $39417 with metallic paint.

The Toyota system did not have all of the options available including parking sensors yet.
