Toyota Yaris XP150 2020 Dedicated Discussion, Owners / Fans Club Thread

662B is the product code for ATIV X CVT. Mine is the same.

[zubair.ah]

Which variant and did you pay full or partial payment? I booked 1.5 CVT on 28 May

[mursleenlodhi]

I think this also

[ikramahmedrana]

I deposited full payment. Faisalabad toyota motors.

The only news I've heard so far is regarding token tax, govt is reducing annual token tax for 1300-1500 cc category, I think with respect to this news the registration cost will be reduced too since the slabs are adjusted to compensate cars with 1328 or 1329 cc engines

[kaashiif]

Even if tax will be reduced but $ is again climbing and crossed 155 yesterday so there is slim chance of reduction in prices.

[zubair.ah]

Did you do full payment too? Which variant did you book?

[zubair.ah]

I also made partial payment. It might be that they are giving early delivery to those who made full payments because as per the contract, you have to clear the remaining amount by 20th June so it doesn't make sense to give a delivery before that to partial payment.

[bobtheminion.evil]

that's true, if govt will reduce taxes, the increasing dollar rate will cause the prices to go up again

[hasanbq]

I dont think so. These prices were already revised when dollar was around 165+. I might be wrong, correct me.

[zubair.ah]

You are correct, but the assemblers will use any reason to justify keeping the prices same and they have many: chip shortage, other raw material import issue, COVID, dollar rate and so on. Indus CEO already said the reducing dollar rate last month was offset by raw material shortage.

[bobtheminion.evil]

They can use the semiconductor shortage excuse to increase prices, since I have also read somewhere that suzuki and toyota are planning to increase prices

[kmq007]

I also came to the same conclusion. I think they have ready stock available at the factory. Once the payment is cleared they invoice it accordingly.

[kmq007]

Yes. That's true. Their CEOs commented on this last month.

I don't understand why all the manufacturers charge the prevailing price at delivery. I mean if one had made full payment then the said price should be locked.

It's unethical and day light robbery. Car should be delivered at the booking price. Isn't that the norm internationally?

[kmq007]

My Toyota relationship guy (sales rep) told me to have a buffer of 1 to 1.5 lac at the time of delivery (July) as the prices might increase.

Upon query that what if I make full payment now, he said that the delivery price will be charged.. its there on the PBO.

I am shocked and worried.. Hardly managing the current price Allah karay mazeed koi increase na ho. Ameeen.

[zubair.ah]

1 to 1.5 lac is way too much, like you I have also hardly managed the current payment, I am also worried if they ask more.

But if the price was going to increase in July, I am sure Toyota would deliver even June cars in July and charge extra to make more money instead of what they are doing now (giving deliveries at current price to even July quota)

[Heart_Break_Kid]

when last year they increased 40000 on Yaris, they didn't increased for those who has made full payment. it was only applicable to partial payment and new bookings. even for partial payment, they gave some buffer to make full payment.

This clause is there in the PBO to give them legal cover in case they have to enforce it, but generally they don't. Generally the practice is to not charge extra price from customers who have already made full payment. They sometimes don't increase price for customers with partial payments as well or give them some time to make the balance payment according to booking price.

Charging updated price at the time of delivery from those who have already made full payment CAN happen, but is not the norm

Given current increasing market competition, I don't think companies would want to get negative repute by doing this

Even those with partial payments were not charged the new price and it was applied for new bookings after a certain date only.

Thank you so much for the comforting remarks....
