I'm a dog walker/pet sitter in San Diego, CA looking to replace my 17 year old Toyota Tacoma with 235K miles. I initially looked at the Ford Transit Connect but I wasn't impressed when I drove it and hated the instrument panel, plus I don't like Ford. Last week I test drove a Promaster City SLT Wagon and loved it except I want an SLT Tradesman.
I'm here because I'm having trouble getting one with windows that open on the sliding doors and rear doors because I need good ventilation for the dogs as I will be adding a partition. When I try to build one to order I select the Popular Equipment Group $495 on the packages page. This option is second row power windows and heated front seats. Don't ask me why heated front seats are paired with power windows but they might be nice to have. So when I add this package a window pops up saying:
Your Selection Requires Changes
You have selected Popular Equipment Group which requires some changes to your configuration.
The ADDITION of:
The total price of this vehicle will increase by $890.
SoI don't understandwhat is happening here. The powered windows and heated seats are $495 and then they add:
Rear and Sliding Doors with Vented Glass $395
My dealer had a 2016 Tradesman for a good price but no second row or back door windows. I said I'd seriously consider settling for that van if he could get pop out windows on the sliding doors and windows in the back doors. He did some research and said before shipping them from Turkey they remove the windows and put panels in because it's cheaper for some reason. He said he could order the windows but there is no installation kit available so their service department would not be able to install them. He tried outside sources as well but couldn't find anyone that could do it.
I never thought buying a new vehicle could be so hard!
