Stock Selection

I was given a privilege by my Toyota sales advisor to choose a unit when the stock arrives. Three units of silver Vios arrived yesterday at the showroom and I went to have a look today. This is what I observed...

First Unit:

• Already washed, being displayed at the showroom.


• Certain panels have buffer holograms.


• Half foot key-scratch-type of scratch on the front left fender, can be felt by finger nail.


• Serious tree sap damage on bonnet, can be felt by touching.

Second Unit:

• Stored in the basement carpark.


• Rain water spotting.


• Dried up polish residue on trunk lid.


• Buffer holograms on ALL panels.

Third Unit:

• Stored in the basement carpark.


• Rain water spotting.


• Buffer holograms on ALL panels.


• Typical ceiling leakage water spots on car roof.

Every new car in the stockyard has the buffer holograms, which I suspect it was done in the Toyota factory. I would say Toyota is really POOR in prepping up the car before delivering to the dealers. I've also issued a request to the branch manager - asking them not to wash the car at all. Due to my transport difficulties, I ended up choosing the Second Unit. I will perform the following steps once I receive the car:

Wash
M6000 (To remove dried up polish residue)
Clay
M82/W9006/RB
M21/MF/DA
