Color Swap

[Patch_San]

So the dealer I'm working with has a white one coming in and I'm first on the list. I'm at least going to see it, before saying no. I have a VIN number and I plunked down a deposit to hold my spot. I was wondering how hard is it for a dealer to locate another color car and swap. Dunno I could tolerate white but it's by far my first choice. I'd prefer Sonic Gray or pretty much ANY color but Red or White. So I feel like I could possibly have options lol.

White is a preferred color by most so I'd imagine if you called your dealer he'd be able to maybe swap it with other area dealers, but ya never know with how things are going lol.

Dude your first in line. Just pass on it and wait for the next and the next. Take whatever color you get by the 3rd year

I'd be down but I'm in NY state though how would that even work lol....Also I signed the buyers order so It's probably too late but I'm ok keeping white unless there is actually a way this could work out smoothly haha...

Ive been told by my dealer that dealers have been told no trades.

Well it's simple, I can logically reason with having a white car, but am very lazy about washing a car over and over lol... So white is kinda viewed as a high maintenance color in my book. Yes so is black but I go for dark colors usually that's all.

15 GTI was black, TLX is black, my FK8 was grey(not the sonic) 18 SI was grey, I could go on I just prefer a dark colored car because I'm lazy about car washes but I guess that's over haha.

I think my last bright colored car was an 04 maxima that had about 160000 miles on it and was silver. Oh also my late Grandma had a white 84 Camry I called the white stallion. So this car could be a tribute to her since she loved my FK8.

Hope that gives you some insight lol.

The trade would be between us, not the dealers.

How do you do that without selling it and paying sales tax?

He's refering to the fact your grammar suggest "white is your first choice by far over the other colours". When in fact you mean it is far from your first choice.

Good luck on your search, Grammar Police Out!

Is there was a reasonable way to trade SGP for BB I'd be happy to do it. But I'm not sure how it'd work unless both parties paid cash foe their vehicles then sell it to each other for 1$ on title or something if that's something you can even do.

See I'm too lazy to bother correcting my grammar lol can you see why I wanted another color lmfao..... Seriously though yeah white ain't near my first choice is all I meant.. I forget this is the internet if you don't right (yes I know what I did there) with college discertation level precision you are slacking and behind the curve.

Or click edit.... but again lazy lol.

It makes no difference to me, I can read between the lines.

Red/Black were my first colour then white, then grey. Basically I wanted anything other then Blue. But Canada didnt get Blue (woohoo) or Black (boo), so I ended up with a white one (well to end up with down the road), which is just fine with me, as I have more time to waste cleaning the car once a week, fallout cleaner will become my new best friend.

Any chance a dealer could facilitate a trade between 2 people? Charge a processing fee maybe a few hundred or whatever but then you could save on being taxed twice. I'm hoping so, I got on a few GR corolla list early but I'm late to the type r. Hoping I could trade one of them for the type R.

In my state you'd both have to pay taxes again.
