Default What to do at the dealership

Ok when i go to the dealer, I am going to tell him all the different accessories that I want. I'm worried that they wont really know exactly which ones I mean so my question is...

Should I give the dealer the part numbers (like on partznet) or do they not order those parts?

For example: I want the 18in wheels from partznet, but i cant exactly tell the dealer "the 18in wheels" because there are two sets of them.

so what should i do?
thank you

When I ordered mine, he just logged on to scion.com and built it with me sitting there.

Then he prints that out, and I believe attaches with order.

I know what you mean though... I worry too. Like I ordered a manual, and Im just positive that they are gonna screw up and get me an automatic.

:D

Give us some credit bro~ alot of us are as up on this stuff as you are. If the wheels are really in question, print out a pic or pull them up online in the dealership... no worries :D

haha ok ok...but final question...
Can I just give them the part numbers from partznet? Or find part numbers from somewhere?

The part #'s are different. I'm guessing you either want the TRD's or the Enkei's right?

most scion dealers are smart enough to know what you want... that's my experience at least (Toyota North, Mt. Kisco NY)

if they can't even configure the car right for you, why would you buy anything from them?
