Shipping and Delivery Confimation

If the dealer will give you a VIN number, in writing, you can probably be pretty certain that all is on the level.

I don't know how you would do the computer search on your own. Probably the easiest would be to ask to see the dealer's own paperwork.

 

Try to put your subject in the subject line. Something like "Is it possible..." makes it impossible to know the topic without clicking the link.

Thanks,

I got my VIN last Friday (5/5) and was told my Prius would be available for me to pick up "between 5/11 and 5/16." Anxiously awaiting the phone call.

Great point. I hate it when people send me e-mails without a proper subject title too.

Yes, it is possible, but I cannot guarantee the accuracy of it. But, you need to know your dealers number. For example:
Toyota of Stuart
This is a link that will check the incoming inventory of the dealer that I bought from. The "09179" is his dealer number. I think I figured his number out by going to www.toyota.com, picking my dealership, and clicking on "build your own". Somewhere along the line there I was able to pull the dealer number out of the URL and substitute it for the one in the link someone else gave me. Also, I can't tell you what the status is of the cars that come up on that list, whether they are just ones AVAILABLE to the dealer, whether it includes ones already allocated to a particular customer, etc. All I can tell you is that I DID find my car in there at one time. You may be able to find it, if the dealer will give you the VIN.
Good luck!

 

<_< Hi mike_m...

Tell me it's not true... "Chatter of the Year." Haven't you caught on to the "name holder" trick in this forum. YOUR name is substituted for the forum "name holder" which is something like [you].

Seems a real pest to me... a "hook" to get multiple responses.

Hmm I tried that using the dealer number (04412) that I got from the same area of the Toyota site for mine (Toyota 101 in Redwood City, CA) but it comes back with an error page instead. Anyone else have problems getting their dealer to show up? The URL I'm using is:
http://www.toyotaweb.net/inventory/searchr...0false,%20false

That's exactly the same URL Keydiver posted (except with Dealer #09179) but his works fine.

 

Sorry, but it appears that this trick only works in the SE distributorship.
