Description of the problem | I visited several toyota dealers because i am helping a friend in bying a new corolla. Despite i advise her to include the safety fetaures: side airbags and abs no dealear make them available if not increasing the lease by 50% (while the increase in value is about 10%) and asking to wait 3 months. Making so practically impossible to have them. Some dealers reached the point to say that those items are not available on the corolla. Such a behaviour it is not acceptable. Car manufacturers are supposed to promote the sensibility toward safety not to boycott it. |
