If they want to be like that then treat them the same way. Pretend you are looking to buy and waste all their time.

Agreed,

It was really uncalled for and there was no need for him to be such a D*CK.

Yep, the dealer I went to said he would be happy to demo the car for me even if I had gone off to order from another dealer. I can see why they would prefer not to but offering this just shows great service.

Finally saw a silver GTS at Garry McMillan Toyota!!! The same car as the pics above! A whole bunch of guys came to see it and we were all standing around it in awe lol Looks fine! Unfortunately I don't know how to drive manual yet so I couldn't drive it; sat in the passenger's seat with the manager behind the wheel. MANG! That guy must be a rev-head- he revved it crazy and at cruising speed it had nice grunt to it- enough for me (a camry driver) to notice. experience.

I havent ridden in many cars to compare interior quality apart from the lease cars my father gets from toyota but seeing as though the 86 will be the first car i am buying.. I was very impressed with the interior i would describe it as 'cosy' with everything nearby.. seats were nice to sit in and easily found perfect driving position. More refined than a yaris

Also went to Le mans Deer Park today after a call from a salesman. They had an Ashpalt GTS, aquamarine GT and silver GT. All were auto.. Mind you in person, the ashpalt was very dark almost black, but once the sun hits it you can tell its dark grey. Dark grey was my first preference but am ordering a Satin white pearl one tomorrow from either Le mans Deer park or Werribee toyota.

Ps: does anyone know where opti coat or similar is done around in victoria?

Pps: I called camberwell toyota today and they said they have a GT satin white pearl manual which I could be driving by the weekend.. I declined the offer to order a GTS
so people who want one asap.. camberwell toyota.

euroglossprestige.com.au quoted me $550 on quote, or $1100 for full paint correction and 2 coats.

www.platinumpaintprotection.com quoted me $495 for paint correction and a coat, with an extra $170 if I want vinyl and cloth interior protections.

Also drove a GT manual. Very very nice to drive, clutch position took getting used to, and the catch point is rediculous. Also not sold on the noise pipe, might have to remove it. Haven't been in a GTS, but I really liked the GT's interior.

It was pretty much the same as the drive away price from the website... $33,something. Have not discussed much else in terms of price.
