American Toyota discontinued the IH8MUD discount but giving everyone a different discount !

[OGBeno]

I'm up in Salt Lake City on an open-ended job, looking after my wife's dad. As a side-job to that job, I hang out at the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum 4 days a week. It supposedly keeps me out of trouble and makes me somewhat useful. I do not miss the 37 years worth of 6-day a week retail running a parts department, but I do dearly miss my Land Cruiser clients.

You are definitely less ornery since you left the parts department.

Oh yeah?

I remember the days when I used to loiter in Dan's office, playing with his GIGANTIC torque wrench from hell.....or drooling over a brand new 1FZ-FE head sitting on another desk. He might've told me quit slobbering over it........

Snap-on 3/4 drive. I bought that to torque 1FZ crank bolts. That thing was over 600 bucks ~25 years ago. Still have it.

That got loaned out quite a few times.

Geez, are we going to start reminiscing about the good ol' days and telling Dan stories?

Maybe that needs a new thread.

Has anyone ordered for a pickup recently from American Toyota?

It is not giving me the option to pick up and Mr. Daniel (&$%^*$) will not take my order over the phone to pick up on Monday and said to call the morning of to make sure it's in stock as it is currently in stock!! WTF! Daniel boils my blood I want to talk to Don!

Anyways, I hope all is well and I hope LOTS of us are getting excited for OURAY!! Solid Axle Summit 8 and High Desert Cruisers week in the San Juans! Hope to run into you on the trail or at camp!! Happy Trails!!

I noticed that too when I tried ordering. I went into AMtoy to get parts and the gentleman at the counter priced match their online price.

Yeah he told me to take a screen shot of the website and he’d match but the thought of driving there and it not being in stock does not sound fun.

 

[pappy]

Yes, two or three orders in the last month including one yesterday, and one this morning. You select the pickup button at the very end of the transaction, before you confirm payment.

 

[pappy]

I just created a fake order. Here is the screenshot where you select local pickup.

no issues here either, picked up something last week.

That's a bull**** add-on.

That's a bull**** add-on.

And the reason I won't darken their doorstep.

If you want to generate a couple more bucks of profit, tweak the discount by a tiny fraction. Much less offensive.

 

[cruiserdan]

Or, maybe change the line to read "Friendship Dues". At least it would be more transparent.

My conundrum is that even with the $5 pickup fee AmToy can still be less than ordering from one of the FreeShip dealers like Claremont Toyota. Plus, I get the parts quicker.

Publicly-held corporate goals. Profits above all else.

 

[Mesa Woman]

That is so weird, I swear this morning the option was not available on my phone or the computer... maybe there was a glitch in the matrix!! Or maybe something was wrong with the address I am using.
Thanks for the confirmations that got me to try again, I feel better knowing it will be waiting for me.

That reminds me @pappy, you owe me $10 for this month.
