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?
As someone who’s dealing with Toyota now. Good luck lol. Toyota thinks they’re Mercedes or Porsche or something. They don’t custom order.
If your corolla comes, they’ll call you, if you choose not to take delivery they’ll give it to the next and you’ll reset in the queue when you go to try and get it again
Can I ask why you can’t just take delivery of it during the winter? When you sign the papers make the appointment to get it undercoated, a couple days of driving it in the salt isn’t going to eat the frame away lol. They’ll just wash it off and undercoat it as normal.
I personally wouldn’t mess with it just because it’s Toyota.
Thank you for the answer to my actual question. I owe you an avocado :)
