i am FUMING!

EDIT

Pennant hills Toyota apologised to me profusely and felt my pain..
i was down there this morning and had a play in a White 86 GTS manual... what a fantastic car..

i have now got a proper build number and my car is going to happen before the end of the year.

i am happy again and i could not ask any more of the dealership.

Give Lander Toyota (Blacktown) a call - I remember I called around a week ago to find stock levels and they said they had a White and Silver GTS - although I think they were auto.

They were the first to get the Red GT show car from Toyota so who knows maybe they can pull a few strings. Good luck!

My advice is you HTFU, go back to the sales rep and politely tell her you are not satisfied with the situation and wish to sit down with her and the dealer principal to discuss how to resolve the situation.

If at the end of that discussion you can't find a mutually acceptable resolution, then you walk out with your money and buy elsewhere. The way you approach such situations can have a great effect on the outcomes you achieve.

In all likelihood, it already has.

WOW. PENNANT HILLS TOYOTA... SHAME SHAME SHAME!

any dealers want my business? i am not going back to pennant hills..
All ready happened to me. I put a deposit down in March and they didn't order may car as I have said on another thread.....Very poor I know. Now I am waiting to till Late september October for my car. The reason I put a deposit down in the first place would be that I have the first chance to buy...
Not the case.....

I am hoping that dealers on this forum that are proactive about their sales will contact me if they have something of interest.
