No one here can say. It's all dependent upon the terms of the agreement you signed with the dealer. I would review that paperwork to determine your answer.

I don't think we mostly agree. I think you think that any dime of "profit" a dealer makes is a scam and pretty much everyone that works at a dealer should spend time and energy on you without you owing anything back. And I don't think anything I (or what anyone else says here) on this is going to change your mind.

It is very telling to me that you never answered my question as to your age and what you do for a living. I'll leave it at that...

If it makes you feel any better, I worked in sales during my college years, back when you could earn commission selling home theater equipment. Plenty of people wasted my time, tire kickers, but I never cried about it in the internet.

If the market was flipped and the lots were covered in cars and the dealers were practically giving them away then the same people complaining now would be gloating about how they screwed over the dumb dealerships. They will always be evil scammers in some people's eyes no matter how well they treat their customers.

That’s the nice thing about consumer choice - you can choose who you want to work with and buy from the dealer that runs their business the way you want them to. Heck, it’s easier now than it has ever been. Or you can just whine about dealer scams - no skin off my nose either way. Btw - not that it matters, but I have never worked for a dealer and don’t do a job that is anyway related to selling/buying cars. |

Yes I know, search. But my phone sucks, no computer. When I try to search, the keyboard won't stay up.
I believe it was this thread I saw a way to check status by VIN. Can anyone help me out? Car was supposedly built late April, dealer is saying no eta. JF1ZNBB11N9755385 |

JFC, are you guys still arguing about this?

Even when I custom ordered my Mustang GT track pack a decade ago, it was built here in the States. I got the VIN before it hit the line. It took less than 24 hours to be built. Once completed, even being in the States, it took another 3 or so weeks to actually make it to the dealer.

*edit* trying this on a vin that I know is in transit, I don't see any ETA data. If anyone knows of a method to get the ETA let us know using Google Chrome: Open Developer Tools (F12 key) Click on the "Network" tab in the address bar, put: guest.dealer.toyota.com/v-spec/YOURVIN/detail (subsitiute YOURVIN with your actual vin#) A series of requests will appear in the developer tools pane. Find the network request that shows {YOURVIN}?isVspec=true Click on it, then click the "Preview" tab here, you will see the dealerCategory: A=Allocated F=on a ship G=on the ground in transit to the dealer |

There are still major delays in ground transportation once the hit port though. Both trucking and rail are backed way up.
