| 1453484 | 2018-09-11 04:56:00 | $1545. Toyota say the master key is missing. It needs this to be able to program a key. So cost of that, cost of the 3 hours labour plus cost of another key. Mr Dealer said no he'll do the "alternative". I said I don't want some car thief 3rd party dodgy thing, and he said fine, your choice. So I have to pay it. Apparently I have to go through Disputes now or live with it. |

Didn't know why exactly, but I knew there was more to it.... |

| 1453486 | 2018-09-11 05:52:00 | WOW, almost 2K to get the key fixed! | bk T (215) | ||
| 1453487 | 2018-09-11 06:12:00 | Fight them -- Start spouting the CGA -- Not fit for Purpose, they meant to have fixed it when first purchased but it broke again (same problem) shortly after -- If it was faulty from the start, the dealer has to fix it. www.consumerprotection.govt.nz | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1453488 | 2018-09-11 06:19:00 | Fight them -- Start spouting the CGA -- I did. he said (in effect) get stuffed. So it's pay Toyota and then take it to Disputes. being a business it's better, but I have been to Disputes before, no guarantee of actually getting paid out, even if you win. Yes, talked to MTA. It's Disputes. |

| 1453489 | 2018-09-11 06:21:00 | WOW, almost 2K to get the key fixed! Yes. I have bought cars for $400, $700, $100, $1500. Only in recent years paid $3000. This thing was $8700. Haha, now it's $10700. more or less. ****, should have bought a Ch-R....well ok, not quite... My A60, you could start it with a 5c coin...sigh, those were the days. |

| 1453491 | 2018-09-11 06:36:00 | Oh dear, a common problem, so will it be a case of "Caveat Emptor" (Let the Buyer beware)? And then there is the small matter of the fine print in the "Sales and Purchase Agreement"? I can see this thread exceeding Tony & Wainui's on "Windows 10 --- Latest Tech Preview" in length. ;) |

| 1453493 | 2018-09-11 06:53:00 | he said (in effect) get stuffed. Errrrrrrrrrrr Wrong answer from the dealer - they cant say that and ignore it. First point in the previous link. Dealers must: comply with the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA), which gives you guarantees for new and used vehicles |
