Sir, i am a regular buyer of toyota since1971, when my father bought my first car “Toyota 1000” for me when i got admission in King Edward’s Medical College. since then i have been getting my toyota every 4-5 yrs. my seconcar was Mark II in blue color and then corolla and onwards till now. in 2003 it wsa corlla 2.0 D. now in 2011 January i deposited my money for Corolla GLI, and got the caer which in fact was manufactured in december 2010. anyway the model of the car was changed after 1 month with changes in bumpers and lights.
my contention is that as i had deposited my money in 2011, i should be given a car manufactured in 2011 with new lights and bumpers, which i feel is my due right.
please request the toyota in pakistan to do the same.

Dr Sahib, I myself sold my 2.0 D Saloon 2005 Model in December 2010 and got delivered Corolla Gli on Jan 10, 2011 with the same style as you got and new style was in the market in April 2011. Toyota should inform its permanent customers about this type of changes. No problem, may charge a little bit more than its new customers, OR we should look for another solution.
