THIS IS AN ISSUE, CONSIDERING THAT THEY ADVERTISED ONLY 2100 CARS OF THIS NATURE WILL BE PRODUCED, GRANTED THE EXTRA GRAND IS NOTHING .... CONSIDERING WHAT WE GOT, ITIS PRINCIPLE, PURE AND SIMPLE ....

I PAID FOR A VEHICLE OF LIMITED PRODUCTION, WHAT THEN WILL HAPPEN IF THE NUMBER EXCEEDS 2100 ? SOMEONE IS SITTING ON A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ?

:twisted:

 

This is getting funnier by the minute

 

Some people are not listening. They are not producing more than 2100 Hot Lavas, just the plaques that go in them. They went by each one at the port and threw a plaque in. They didn't actually put them on. They didn't stop and write down which VIN got which plaque. Once they found out some were missing they had to make some more for those people. Since they weren't sure which numbers were actually missing and which ones weren't they had to make new numbers so that they wouldn't have two # 204 of 2100s out there. It is pretty simple. Be glad you got to get a Hot Lava, some of us in certain areas didn't even get that luxury...

 

Will everyone just stop all of this madness. Your lives or not going to end. I am pretty sure there is a good explanation and there were only 2100 made. Toyota is not going to start something and not go through with it. Everyone just chill

 

Well said Erikcooper

 

Obviously, You believe that Kennedy was killed by a lone assasin, there are no aliens at Area 51 and there were or were not WMD's in Iraq

 

yo seriously you are totally of the topic, but all I am saying is that its just a car. They are awsome cars and I love them, but people are getting out of hand with this and they aren't listening to anyone. We all have one life and we don't need to spend it wigging out about making more than 2100 Hot Lava's. WHICH THERE ARE ONLY 2100 HOT LAVA"S

 

While I do not have a lava I do agree I would be equally ____ed about this,

Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do andI hope someone gets thier ___ reamed for fscking up like that, while not a big issue to most probably I can't see how any dealer would be suprised.. and even though it makes Toy/Scion look like idiots they should stleast inform other lava owners of what happened and explain what they did to 'correct' the problem.

On a side note something as important as the # badge should be bolted to the car even before it ships IMHO, just carelessness from Toyota if you ask me.

 

Again another person is not listening, they are just EXTRA BADGES. They did not make extra cars. People these days do not like to listen to anything

 

The funny thing here is that I am on both sides of the story. I own a Hot Lava. I brought this to the attention of GST. I am not ____ed so much as perplexed about this. I would like an answer for my personal reasons and also so i can resell this 5speed HL that came in(Which is available BTW<----shameless plug) and honestly say why the badge reads what it does. If I was the customer and I saw the badge #2107A/2100 I would call B.S.

I feel that the explanation given to me from our Distributor is legitimate. Does it look fishy, YES. Nothing can be done about it now but an explanation, which has been given. By the sounds of it, even if the explanation were offered by corporate, some of the people here wouldn't believe it.

And to the guy typing in font like this please stop![/b]

 

excuse me but I did that once and I have not done it since. I can see if it was does for every single one of my messages. Thanks. But you also have a good point about the badges.

 

So the one you have in has that badge # ?????

 

Well stated !

Hey, I might be in the market to sell mine , it is still in my garage under cover, have only 220 miles on it ...... Check my profile, the pics do not show the unique hand painted pinstripping ..... I might sell for what I paid for it .....

 

first off i was not trying to attack anyone i was only trying to offer my opinion. secondly i think if the badges were lost etc. than corp. needs to come out with a statement publicly that says what they are doing about the situation. say i have
rs1 #2106A and try to sale it as a limited edition car of 2100. i need some kinda explanation in writing etc. to give to the buyer or for my records. i don't need to rely on some dealer salesperson. as for dealers not knowing what lava is with what #. i have a hard time beliving this when up to 3wks b/f dealers got the lava they knew what the vin# and edition # the car was. Just a bunch of bull____ thats all. i won't be losing any sleep over it, so oh well

 

woah the lava is pretty special...just not as special as the people on this board are making it out to be...it was special in the sense that it was a great deal to those that jumped on it...they basically gave us 1500 worth of accessories and a special color for only 980 more...so even though I wasn't crazy about the color(don't get me wrong I would do it again) I got it for the deal...

here is a thread on this site about a guy that got his lava without a badge.
he says they used his vin number to get him a new badge.

scion has let me down.

 

That would make more sense, otherwise I could print up my own badge and affix it to my car #0001/2100 and no one could prove that I wasn't.

 

in regards to the other scenario there, unless his badge was lost in the same region it's apples and oranges. again there's like 8 or so regions that have nothing to do with each other and their ports are going to be operated differently. besides, if the badges in houston were lost before they were attached to a VIN number then you couldn't look it up that way.

 

like i said earlier...its not hard for them to look up the number by vin....sounds like toyota has got issues....either that or toyota is so stupid they dont bother to keep track of vin's....whoever has lava#1 should tell us his vin and whoever has lava#2 should tell us their vin...they are supposed to go in order....you get the idea

 

Nice Statement NC .......
