2024 JD Power Sales Satisfaction Survey is out

[Dr.Kamiya]

Tindi ng "bundles" ng tmph. I heard someone was offered a fast allocation of LC250 (or LC300) if he purchased it together with an executive sedan

[Motortrend]

Idk pero since nung tumama ang covid, naging sobrang damot ng tmph pagdating sa allocation ng units lalo na sa mga high-end models. Tapos kada taon, ilang price hikes ginagawa nila.

Isipin mo kung kukuha ka ng lc250 prado na cash, hindi ka nila basta bibigyan ng unit samantala yung batang c carlos yulo nung nakakuha ng gold sa paris olympics nabigyan naman nila kagad (hindi ko sinasabi na di nya deserve ah lol pero congrats sa kanya).

Sabe nga ng iba jan mababa tingin ng tmph sa mga pinoy kc alam nila na kahit hindi loaded ang mga local units nila (unlike sa ibang bansa na ubod ng mga additional features) eh papatok at bebenta parin sa masa.

Eh wala na ata silang pakielam basta ma-implement at masunod lang nila ang mga style nilang bulok na mga conditions at policies sa ngalan ng pera. Biruin niyo pati sa abroad din pala uso ang mga anomalya nila lol. Hindi customer-friendly kung ganun.

Pero bakit nga ba sila nagkakaganyan? Problemado sa pag-handle ng maraming benta? Nahihirapan o di na kaya sabayan ng mga supplies sa planta ang mga demands sa dealers? Overloaded, etc? O sadyang naging mapera lang sila? Sobrang inconvenient na kc para sa mga buyers.

And we put up with it.

This is why Tesla's direct selling model works ... you order online ... add the options you want ... everything automated ... pricing is the same for everyone (at the time of your order) ... no dealer upsells ... no haggling ... no frustrations dealing with sales agent ... your position in the queue is fixed ...

Wala naman drama sa agent namin sa cash basis. Years nga lang wait list at kaunti allocation ng units.

May special treatment nga para sa mga VIPs, may connections, at nagmamadali at willing mag hoolahoops sa addons.

Otherwise kung willing to wait, malinaw naman ang queue number.

Last March nag inquire si relative.

62 po nakapila sa alphard po while sa 71 po sa land cruiser sir

Nag uupdate naman sila sa galaw ng pila.
Same family na nag wait ng 1 year plus para sa Corolla Cross GRS. Walang extras nabayad at cash basis. I dispose lang nila current car nila once dumating ang unit.

May mga atat din kasi at ayaw pumila.

i remember 2005.
the waiting line for the fortuner was 8 months. a colleague agreed to fall in line. he got it after 8 months.
moi... i hied over to the innova queue, where i got mine in a couple of days.
looking back, i believe the innova was the better deal.

at that time, the land cruiser was kinda... out of stock period.

Well almost half the buyers, but a lot also has the sensibilities to say no to tmpc's shenanigans.

Buti meron na Tesla, that direct selling model could disrupt unfair marketing tactics for hot selling cars.

Grabe naman yan lols. Meron din kayang ganyang kalokohan sa ibang brands? Porke alam nila na kikita din mga resellers ee...

Ironically Lexus PH doesnt do the same shenanigans as TMPC for their hot selling cars

and that is why it exists!

And even number 1.
