madmax2 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The newish toyota dealer near central festival shopping centre on the way into Phuket town and prison is not a member of the pearl toyota group but a independent dealer Gave a us a much better deal than the salesman at pearl toyota for price and giveaways Definitely worth getting a price if you are thinking about buying a new toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I bought my Avanza there, and I am very satisfied with the service. I can recommend checking out the place based on my own experience as a happy customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Saved around 40k baht by buying from them instead of the opposition Free commercial insurance, window tinting and a few other goodies The opposition wanted me to sign a contract to purchase before they would ask the sales manager for any give aways or discounts, they had also installed new flooring in the rear passenger area of their van which they wanted a extra 20k baht for, there is nothing wrong with the factory installed floor covering which is free will be looking for another new vehicle later this year and will definitely get a quote from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know mate, new cost quoted from pearl toyota for auto in white color which is 6k baht cheaper than silver grey was 1.272M baht From phuket town Toyota 1.256 m baht in silver grey, white would have cost1.250m baht Plus toyota Phuket town gave free commercial vehicle insurance and window tinting Will not know what the insurance is worth until it is licensed on yellow commercial bus plates and we get a policy copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Always bought from Pearl. I thought that one by the stadium was part of them. I want to get the new Avanza, but nothing in town until May. Anyone have any news on the new Avanza at this dealership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 If you do not speak Thai one of the sales staff there speaks excellent English, i do not know his name but he would be the person to ask about supply of a vehicle, found him very honest and straight with the questions i asked him, unlike a lot of salespersons Just Phone and tell them you want to speak to someone with good English language skills about purchasing a vehicle you should get him He speaks English like a Englishman the one i am talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax2 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Actually not so sure about this dealership anymore, paid and took delivery on 18/01 we were guaranteed by the English speaking salesperson it would be licensed on yellow plates in 4 to a maximum of 6 weeks and paid the 25k baht license fee on the 18/01 We went in today to check licensing (5 weeks) because they informed us by phone it would not be licensed until the middle of next month English speaking salesperson refuses to except responsibility for the late delivery because it was not his sale even though he made the agreement with us because another salesperson received the commission for the sale which he negotiated and refuses to discuss it further, except to say it was the army's fault We actually discussed the current licensing problem with the salesperson at time of purchase and were told licensing would not be effected by the major mini bus accident in Bangkok which killed 25 people Also have not received the first class /comprehensive insurance policy which they claim was posted to us after 5 weeks Now tell us we should get the yellow bus plates on or before 10/03, just waiting to see if this is another broken promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to hold on to the tax money as long as they possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not worry me with normal plates, but our son cannot work until he has yellow plates fitted to the bus, everything else has been done including getting his commercial driving license at Suratthani which we thought would the holdup on him being able to operate the bus I blame the English speaking salesperson who must be their sales manager because he approved the deal without asking for anyone elses authority to do so As my wife said once they have your money they loose all interest in looking after you We did received the comprehensive/ first class insurance today after my wife giving them a good bollocking yesterday about not receiving the policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
