2010 prius signal mirrors

OK GENTLEMEN I AM PISSED. I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION & GOT STUPID ANSWERS. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS.

1. MAKE SIGNAL MIRRORS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALER

I KEEP READING THAT THE PRIUS BROUCHERS ARE AVAILABLE. WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER THREE TIMES, NOTHING. SO I CALLED TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BROUCHERS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID MAY. SOMEONE IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND.

I HAVE PURCHASED JEEPS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, LOVE THEM HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THEM OR THE DEALER. BUYING A PRIUS WOULD BE MY FIRST PURCHASE OF AN IMPORT.

SO FAR I AM NOT IN THE LEAST IMPRESSED WITH TOYOTA'S LACK OF RESPONSE TO MY INQUJIRIES. THEY SEEM A BIT ON THE UPPTY SIDE. TOYOTA BE CAREFUL, PRIUS SALES FOR APRIL WERE DOWN 61%. YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO ANTAGONIZE

YOUR CUSTOMERS.

car is not on sale yet, dealers will be getting marketing materials up to before the sales launch, depending on their region... so no reason to feel p/o because of that.

HTMLSpinnr · 05-03-2009, 12:52 PM

The dealers can order the marketing materials if asked. I politely mentioned that some dealers are getting them and happened to be talking to the gentleman responsible for placing the order. He went online and placed the order w/ me standing there and told me they'd be in by the following week.

The following week, most didn't know if they had them but were willing to dig when I explained I had asked the guy to order them the week prior. I walked out w/ a brochure.

Either way, coming to a forum and shouting in all caps won't yield much better results that was had @ the dealer.

This will get as annoying as the fog light demands but this one has them beat since it is ALL IN CAPS.

LOL, very true

p.s. i am sure that within few months you will be able to get imported signal mirrors... question is if you will be willing to pay the price for them.

Cool your jets, man

You may indeed be pissed, but posting what is by its formatting a
screaming rant

is guaranteed not to win any sympathy here.

You could start over on the right foot simply by going back and editing
your OP into regular upper/lower case...

That wouldn't be such a big deal, would it...

Or is this a misplaced Jeep specific behavior?

Would be nice to find out soon if the wiring / harness for side mirror indicator lights is in the door from the factory. I'd have/hope to believe "yes' if in fact they will be a dealer-installed option at some time. Rather than the previously noted $450 for signal mirrors, may be fun to fashion an aftermarket mirror custom LED strip or the such.

If you've gotta' have 'em hurry-up-quick, right now, ASAP, there's always
this to tide you over 'til the real thing is available:

Stick-on Universal Side Mirror LED Light

"Super bright LED light
"Flexibe PCB material to fit the side mirror smoothly
"Universal design for all cars
"Attach the light very easily
"Make your drive safety"

1. Muth will market them shortly. I've had two sets and they are great.

2. Switch to decaf.
