I have no problem with the sales department, I just don't want to sell to them (or anyone.) You'd think sales and service would maybe talk and, um, steer clear or me. I will try the Toyota Help. Thanks

keep track of who u talk to, first talk to the dealership (which u have) tell them u dont wanna sell, if they don't get the point talk to regional, if they don't get it take it to the big boys at the top. u can always ask for the regional scion reps number & tell them that they r pissing u off after repeated attempts of telling them to stop. there is always ways to get them to listen. i promise u that the managers won't take u seriously until u talk to someone who can chew their ass

exactly, cool & all but they won't understand. on of a few things will happen, they will b confused & dismiss it all together & keep calling, find it funny & put it on the board in the office, or just ingored it & keep calling. they r thick headed from the sounds of it, & i highly doubt that will change things. i remember all the tricks & stuff they did, i saw it on a daily basis

that ransom note is way too funny. but do u think they're asking other xBs to sell theirs back? they probably wont know who the ransom-ish note came from

Oh, I signed it. It's going out in the mail tomorrow. And I don't care if they laugh at it or just sit there with a WTF look on their faces. and I think they probably remember me. and I don't care. and if they post it on a bulletin board, well maybe someone else will laugh. And I agree that some of those guys have NO sense of humor. and it was fun cutting out all the little letters.

But Mrs. Black Box is probably right, I'll probably have to climb up the gripe chain....

I was really curious how many other people are getting these calls/letters/emails.

I'd LOVE this. But mine would be the only dork car in the cool car caravan, so they'd probably pick mine and well, here we go again.

xPartyx · 10-16-2009, 04:10 AM

haa, mine is 90% stock. badge deletes, green TRD springs and green wheels, i think those are all things a dealership would overlook. . pretty easy for them to get it back to stock again

Anyone else getting bothered by dealers to part with your loved one, er car? About once a month they start up with the calls. Yes, I've asked them to stop.

It's like my car is being stalked. and creepy, too.

I hear they only do this, so you go back and buy another car from them. I was constantly being harassed like you are. I simply told them. My car isn't for sale. And they have been leaving me alone.

Oh please don't sell yours back after all you went through to get your snazzy green wheels (I read your thread)! I would be terrible for them to not appreciate your wheels. Say you won't even consider it.

(Mine's like 98 % stock. Badges on my kitchen toaster and where the heck is that rear wiper anyway? And the dancing toaster stays....)

Did they contact you?

Yes and I would pay good money to see their faces when you drive up.

Best I ever got at the dealership was, "Um. Do you sell toast?"

yellow_sub · 10-16-2009, 03:27 PM

could you imagine mine sitting at a dealership? lulz

I'd snap it up! (Have to rob a bank or something first....) Seriously, I love your car.

Black_Box · 10-16-2009, 03:37 PM

tell your dealer you sold your xB to a used dealer a few towns away...lmao...then might stop.

hahahaha! I drive by the dealership like 6x a week. Even THEY'D catch on. Otherwise I would have already used this one. Gotta drive on that road. They haven't called this week. Maybe they got my "letter."

Black_Box · 10-16-2009, 03:49 PM
