ignorance is bliss

They are not ignorant at all. You can tell them other brands offer more and they still favor Toyota

[drchaos]

Its because hubcaps are apparently more "reliable" than alloys

[dogichi]

I foresee another Toyota recall soon, but I guess that's ok. Toyota has had so many recalls...I won't say that's reliable. IF, I had to buy a Toyota the RAV 4 is the only vehicle I would buy from them. But then I could sell it for 75% of its value in 5 yrs...who's complaining....I not buying it for me but for the other prospective buyer...lol.

Ford Focus 185k depending on financing
They also offering insurance and financing thru ANSA Merchant bank
I didn't bother with the higher spec model...both models on offer are mechanically identical...the difference with the hispec model is the coliecessories: LEDs, chrome around the fogs, shiny black trims, leather, projectors
and yeah, drinks premium

Was looking at the new Focus hatch and made an enquiry at the dealership. Sales rep quoted me a price of $250,000.00! That's a far cry from $185k, and for a hatch no doubt, which is supposedly argueably cheaper than than the sedan. Don't even ask about the price of the ST model (which I am in love with!).

I wonder if they bringing the Fiesta ST in by order?

Recalls are good. No car manufacturer makes perfect cars. Not one.

A lack of recalls doesn't mean a car manufacturer is making more reliable cars. In fact it usually means the manufacturer stonewalls on issues. GM's current ignition switch fiasco is one glaring example of this.

[drchaos]

You asked about the focus st and they gave you a price? Please share, didn't even know they we're bring it in!

I asked about the fiesta st about 2 months ago. The sales agent didn't even know anything about the model, in fact she didn't even know that Eco boost engines were turbo charged even though she was trying to sell me a ford kuga with a 1.6 Eco boost. I was then shooed out of her office promptly when a guy came to complain about an issue with his 2 week old focus.

That ^^^ is ur problem right there. NEVER ask a female sales rep about performance vehicles...who vex, vex. Next time u call them, ask to speak with Chris. The ST focus was last quoted to me at $345k and its only available on special order.

[drchaos]

345K wow that's actually a really good price considering this car rivals the golf gti which is gonna be just over 400k

Thanks for the info tho i will talk to chris next time i check them!

[dogichi]

I'm sorry if there is a lot of recalls then quality control is lacking. And why they recall because it's cheaper to recall then to face multiple lawsuits which could cost much more. If I bought a particular brand of car and they constantly having recalls...I would switch brands.

probably because most "sales people" in Trinidad are merely facilitators who can only rattle off vehicle info you can easily get from a one page brochure :/ That salesperson can easily quit today and go off and sell office furniture or shoes tomorrow

To be a really good sales rep, you have to live the brand, breathe the brand, know history about the brand. And lastly have that passion to represent the brand.

This is trinidad we dont have competing new car dealers so if u want a ford u stuck goin to them. They know that and are lazy as f#ck

[dogichi]

I am fortunate in knowing some excellent sales reps for Kia, BMW and Mercedes. People who don't only sell the vehicle, but know the vehicle, the history of the brand, knowledgable on potential issues and would go the extra mile to ensure I am happy...even take my vehicle to service and return it after so I don't lose any time away from my job. I salute these rare people

Selling cars in TnT is not like sellin insurance.

Is something deep down that we just can't understand nah. I saw it with my brother when he bought his Hilux a few years ago. He went all the other dealerships and was getting better deals but somehow ended up in Toyota without an actual reason. Was just like a "just because".

I feel is obeah.

[kurpal_v2]

^^LoL. if that ford focus st is 345 k you order that sumbit*$h and ask no questions....but them kias and hyundai just keep getting better looking boy....pity they cant put a little extra performance to go w/ the package...that would be awesome...but the market is really full of options now in every price range and that can only be good for the consumer...

Toyota recalls would probably never even affect our market even if the cars are affected.

Porsche 911 GT3 - $2.25M

Yuh buying??

[j.o.e]

Porsche 911 GT3 - $2.25M

Good price

[acesinghit]

Porsche 911 GT3 - $2.25M

Yuh buying??

sure if I had $50M in the bank then why not but in the absence of that minus $49.9 million sadly I cant.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Looking to call down one of those by the end of the year please God.

[tourniquet]

thought it would have been more for the GT3; must be dat dere fire sale :/

[knorgriff]

What's the price of the 911 turbo S cabriolet ?

[scotty_buttons]

thought it would have been more for the GT3; must be dat dere fire sale :/

Nah.. That's an ok price. Goes for around 100k pounds. So if anything I'll say it's overpriced a bit?
Turbo S Cabriolet on the other hand is around 150k pounds so it should be around 3.5mil here.

[drchaos]

After having played countless hours of Need for speed Porsche unleashed as a youth, my expert opinion leads me to point out that 911 turbo is the only way to go At 1.5 to 5.0 million, I ask how can you go wrong?

[White CZ4A]

I strongly disagree with that.
