Big Boo-Boo from Pinnacle (COE at $9,001)
-
I booked a new light grey FL Toyota Wish with Pinnacle under the bidding COE system. My basic car price is $58.998 and the COE is $12.2k rebating at $12.2k. I was suppose to go for 4 rounds of bidding which the last round ended today. Was delighted when I saw the COE ended at $9,001. ie. My car price would only be $68k. Finally I get my Wish.
When I checked the LTA website, to my horror I found that Pinnacle did not bid for me. When I questioned the SE, she said that her manager said that they did not bid cos they cannot fufill my color of Wish. This is nonsense as if they called me before the bid I would have gladly chosen another color. The whole time they kept my $5k deposit and did nothing about it. I am going to demand that they fufill this order with an open cat. I am prepared to take it all the way to the press and even CASE. If I donÂ’t get my car, I will make sure they get some poor publicity out of this.
Are there any other brothers in the same plight, do sms me 97856516. I believe unity is strength.

Wow these bastards SE..
Hmm Toyota SE again? This picutre is all too familiar. -
Sorry to hear about your plight. They don't have to fulfil your colour of wish because ultimate you have 3 months grace to register your car after you got the COE. That's just an excuse for overlooking your transaction.Originally posted by wsoon:I booked a new light grey FL Toyota Wish with Pinnacle under the bidding COE system.

Take the money and place it with another PI. I'm sure there are loads who have Open Cat in hand, and are wiling to give more discount / freebies than Pinnacle. At least by publishing here, you have given poor publicity to Pinnacle. -
To the thread starter, u may have to bring this matter to court.
Doubt CASE can help you. Because for CASE to help u, ur purchase got to be under the HP Act. To Qualify for the HP Act ur car price has to be less then 55k after minusing COE. For your case: 68K - 9K or 12K is still above 55k thus u will be under the Common Law and not HP Act.
But i guess u may still seek CASE's advice as a consumer and that the promise is not fulfilled hopefully they can help -
