Key points for shortening delivery times for Roomy
If you want to speed up the delivery time of your Roomy, please refer to the following points.
If you don’t have a relationship with a specific dealer, visit multiple dealers.
If you currently drive a Toyota vehicle and have a good relationship with the dealer, we recommend that you continue to purchase from that dealer. However, if neither of these apply to you, ask at other Toyota-affiliated dealerships (Toyota, Toyota, Netz, Corolla). Some dealerships may have faster delivery times. Each dealership has different allocations, so some may have faster delivery times.
Select popular grades and options
The Roomy is available in a variety of grades and options. Choosing a popular grade or option tends to result in longer delivery times. If delivery time is a priority, it is often a good idea to choose a popular grade or option. Popular grades may be more likely to be sold off the production line, or higher profit margins may be prioritized due to profits within the dealership.
Consider popular body colors
Delivery times may vary depending on the body color. We recommend choosing a popular color, as production tends to be high and there is a possibility that orders may be brought forward due to cancellations. Another recommended point is that choosing a popular color will increase resale value when you sell the car.
Contact your dealer frequently
Some dealerships may have vehicles with earlier delivery times, such as canceled vehicles or display vehicles. It’s a good idea to check with the dealership frequently to see if there are any vehicles with earlier delivery times.
Important points regarding dealers and contracts
How to check delivery dates at the dealer
The delivery time for the Roomy varies depending on the dealer. Be sure to check with the dealer about the delivery time before signing a contract. It is also recommended to check whether there are any vehicles with a shorter delivery time, such as canceled vehicles or display vehicles.
Important points to note and matters to note when signing a contract
When signing the contract, carefully consider the grade, options, body color, etc. Also, carefully check the explanation of the contract contents and delivery date, and ask any questions you may have.
Dealer availability and reservation procedures
Some dealers may have vehicles in stock or available for reservation. If you want to speed up delivery, check with the dealer about their inventory and how to reserve.
Check points before purchasing Roomy
How to choose custom options
Roomy offers a variety of customization options. Choose the options you need based on your budget and lifestyle. Delivery times may vary depending on the options you select, so be sure to check with your sales representative.
Color trends and popular colors
Popular colors for Roomy include White Pearl Crystal Shine, Black Mica, and Cool Bordeaux Glass Flake. Choose your favorite color based on trends and popular colors. Choosing a popular color may change your priorities. Conversely, special colors may require longer delivery times.
Test drive reservations and confirmation information
If you are considering purchasing a Roomy, we recommend taking a test drive. This will allow you to check the ride comfort and ease of use. To make a reservation for a test drive, contact the dealer.
Understand the process from purchase to delivery and try to shorten the delivery time yourself.
In reality, if you don’t get complacent just because the vehicle has arrived at the dealership, it will take time for it to arrive in your hands. If possible, you can shorten the time until the actual delivery by completing the procedures such as creating a “garage certificate” and “payment method (loan or cash)” in advance before the vehicle arrives.
Because I live in an apartment building, it took a while for the “garage certificate” to arrive from the management company, so even though the car was brought into the dealership, I was unable to proceed any further, and it took a long time for the car to actually be delivered.
Delivery period and estimate
The average delivery time for a Roomy is about three months, but this may vary depending on the grade, options, and dealer.
Preparations and documents required for delivery
The following items are required at the time of delivery:
- signature stamp
- driver’s license
- Garage certificate
- Car insurance card
- Payment method (cash, loan, etc.)
