Dear friends it is not much of a significancant event but wanted to share it with all of you. I asked a quotation from toyota walton .They quoted me 940000 ex factory price plus 20000 premuim. However upon counterchecking the market the price turned out to be 942000 including premium. I have concluded toyota walton to be a ripoff. For you refrence i am attaching a picture of the fax i recieved from them. Can anything be done under consumer court against misreporting of exfactory price. Below is apictue of the fax.
They can jack up their prices as they feel. Consumers can't do anything about it. That's the sad reality.
Jacking up prices isnt the dealer's job .it is the company's job.
used cars make a better deal anyday.
What my point was that these nobs think that they can quote anyprice they like to anyone in the age of inetrnet. Buying a car is disonnance reducing behaviour and not one buys a car buy getting a quotation form a singal dealer.
Yaar there isn't one car buyer in Pakistan that hasn't been ripped off during the car purchase process, or during the maintenance period.
Waisay Toyota Walton has been known to have been serious rip-offs and display poor workmanship.
Yes upon seeing this quotation i have to agree. I am sending registered mail to indus corporation on this matter soon and i have already posted on to the bank inorder to black list them .
Very good. Expect a fairly quick reply- i highly doubt anything would be done, but at least you're bringing it to their attention. I think Toyota Walton is perhaps the biggest and the most active Toyota dealer in Lahore.
Do let us know what they say.
sure i am awaiting an Email reply from Toyota indus and walton regarding this matter. I shall updatebyou guys as i get the reply. I f anything can be done under consumer act i am willing to give a try. need more advise on that.
Go ahead and do all that you can. Who did you e-mail btw?
TO indus i asked for the advise on correct ex factory price as dealers are misguiding me and to thw walton i asked why did they quoted me inflated price when actually the orignal price differed. i told them that i discovered thier fardulant activity by counterchecking price from the market . lets see what they have say. I have even left my number so they can reach me on phone.
