That's an even cheaper price as it includes VAT s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I went to my dealer today to get a price from them (with fitting as well). Alas the man who deals with it was on hols until monday.

Anyone think it is worth waiting? Or is it too big a risk that my choice of colour may go?

As far as I'm aware they have quite a few kits still; I have been holding off but will probably order soon s:wink: :wink: s:wink: What colour are you after s:?: :?: s:?:

Bongo · September 12, 2005, 19:32

Silver.

Pre facelift.

I'm not sure if my dealer will be willing and/or able to beat the ebay price though?

They also took it upon themselves to make him find out prices for pretty much every other accessory for me aswell. Have they been reading here to find out how weak my will power is? s:? :? s:?

I would go for the Ebay deal as it looks to be a better price than you will get at your delear. Any other accessories being sold of cheap s:?: :?: s:?:

Bongo · September 12, 2005, 19:47

As said above, guy who's dealing with it is away until monday.

I'll post any good deals when I get them.

Bongo · September 14, 2005, 22:54

Does anyone have the contact details for the dealer selling the kit on ebay?

I reckon by contacting him direct you might be able to get a better price (afterall he doesn't have ebay fees to pay then).

I think I might be able to help, they are indeed a MrT franchise:RMB Teesside Toyota. Checked with Mr T's website and they show up on th dealer register. Got a phone number as well 01642 808044.
Just odered one off e-bay myself, paid full whack though, which isn't too bad compared to what they were originally.
Be interested to see how you get on.

Thanks for the info, Nigel. Very, very helpful.

I've just got off the 'phone with Teeside, so here's an update......(sorry its a little long...... s:roll: :roll: s:roll: )

It seems that Teeside have forged links with the Dealer Liaison guy more than many other dealers, which is why they seem to have access to all the kits. Just to provide some balance for those going through their local MrT. , Teeside don't physically have all the kits - requests still have to go through Dealer Liaison - hence the brief wait for delivery.

Contact at Teeside is Mark Headlam - happy to talk to anyone about the kits (I did discuss a GB option with him, but given their current price and stock availability it probably wouldn't work for us this time around....however, I've offered to act as lead on any future GB opportunities that we might be able to set up with them - will keep you posted via other threads).

Ignore the "submit best offer" on E-Bay - Mark tells me this is a remnant of a previous listing when they were at £295. So its £255 +p&p or go whistle s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

To sum up whats avalable.....
only pre-facelift kits are available as at now.
all pre-facelift colours are still available, but only about 10 of each colour left in stock, with silver selling the fastest (take note Bongo s:wink: :wink: s:wink: )

Finally, Mark is going on leave tomorrow for a couple of weeks - in his absence, ask for Matthew Tyson.

Looks like we have a wild-west style silver rush on our hands s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

ps The good news for those of us who aint blessed with bulging wallets is that they take credit card payment over the 'phone, so get in now and cancel Christmas s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Spit. I'm confused now m8 s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Sorry to confuse - your dealer could be right about Steve being on holiday. I'll try to clarify the position for you in the morning. That said, if he is on holiday, it would suggest that someone is supplying the kits in his absence - maybe you should storm your dealer and get them to be a bit more probing.

As for whats left, this came from Mark at RMB Teeside in direct response to my question "what stock is still available". Unless there is some odd reason that they can't get facelift kits through Steve, I would take this as the informed position..... but again, I'll post up tomorrow if I find out more.

BTW, the RMB EBay posting has ended. Mark may well put it back with the "best offer" removed (up until now he has just been re-listing it with the "buy it now" reduced)

I'll give Lindop's a call again tomorrow and ask my contact there to have another bash at Toyota.
