Waiting Time For Toyota Fortuner

[onpermanentvacation]

I placed my order for a 4WD Fortuner (regular, not Sportivo or else) around first week of December. The dealer (in BKK) told me delivery would happen around 20th January and that I was 6th in line. Now they told me no January delivery and not sure when exactly in February.

I'd like to know if I'm being pushed down the list or this is normal. What was your waiting time if you bought recently? Thanks!

Just tell them if you dont get in the next two week's you don't want it. Then see what happen's. Yesterday was a big Buddha day for getting car's. Don't ask. Give them the hurry up. Best of luck.

Good choice.

as I understand, from order/deposit its 45 days before its manufactored. Anything faster, is because dealer has ordered vehicles not yet sold, able to deliver more quickly

Now this is becoming a bit annoying. They just said it's not even February but March...

cause they have sold your car to another customer (paying more)

good luck calling other dealers to check their stock, and then cansel your deposit/order at present dealer

Late 2005 I needed a Fortuner in a hurry, had sold my 2004 Vigo. At that time waiting time was 3-5 months, went to showroom, asked for sales manager, told 10k baht in his pocket if he could deliver silver top spec within 48 hours. Worked, everyone happy, except the customer they stole it from

It's always been this way with Fortuner, ever since it was launched 7 years ago.. It would appear they only manufacture upon order.

See if you can grease someone's palms as KBB suggests, because there's almost no doubt that's what's happened to you.

Waiting times could be because of last years floods in Thailand, I'm pretty sure Toyota had problems because of the floods.

Just hang in their and keep fingers crossed.

Yeah, I thought there may be some delay, we aren't in any rush but I just thought 3 months was quite a long time to wait and worry that this 3 months will drag into more once you commit some deposit money. Call me a pessimist but I almost expect this kind of letdown.

Ordered mine mid-April and was informed that it would be delivered latest in June. I finally received it on May 19^th. I did not need to “bribe” a dealer to jump the queue, but shopping around was necessary…

That's not bad, maybe it is just luck of the draw. When you ordered did you pay fully in advance or just a deposit?

Yeah, probably lucky the dealer was true to his word... I just paid the THB 5'000 deposit to reserve the car.

Deposit is normally only 10,000bt so no big deal and refunded if you cancel they don't care if you buy or not.

That's all good news then, nearly as good as how much they are offering me for my 4 old truck, with the way the exchange rate has changed since I bought it I will get 700GBP less to trade it in than I paid for the thing.

There can be a big difference between the forecasted delivery time and the actual delivery time.

You are right about that, we went in to order one expecting the 3 month wait and a week later it is parked on my driveway, a surprisingly good result.
