onpermanentvacation Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredob43 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onpermanentvacation Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Now this is becoming a bit annoying. They just said it's not even February but March... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonRiverOasis Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Now this is becoming a bit annoying. They just said it's not even February but March... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRanger Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any updates on these times, My Mrs has just been told a 3 month wait for a Fortuner??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any updates on these times, My Mrs has just been told a 3 month wait for a Fortuner??? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luccin Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ordered mine mid-April and was informed that it would be delivered latest in June. I finally received it on May 19th. I did not need to “bribe” a dealer to jump the queue, but shopping around was necessary… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you ordered did you pay fully in advance or just a deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasRanger Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 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.
