I placed an order for a new Toyota Corolla hatchback in June, and i was told it would be 8-12 months. No deposit was necessary, and i still really want the car, but i dont want to receive it in winter, preferably April or so.

I’m getting my car wrapped when i receive it, and would like to get it undercoated. I plan on taking care of it right from the get go, and don’t want to immediately get it covered in salt before doing so. I would also like to enjoy my, likely to be, only ever brand new car i will ever purchase before it has to endure the canadian winter.

If i contact my salesman and ask him to delay it, how is that gonna go? Will i just be removed from the list and put back on another time, or will i just be skipped on the new cars till april comes around then be at the top of the list then?

    I don’t think one drive to the undercoating shop is going to do anything. Undercoating is not a magical cure-all, it’s just another layer that may or may not help slow down the inevitable rust your car will see. Don’t even worry about this at all, just get your car and have it undercoated if that’s what you want to do.
