Let me shed some light on your special orders. Toyota sends X amt of cars to a dealer (US mainland).
Other dealers trade with each other in order to get what their customers want.

But this being servco pacific, a distributor, they should get any amount of models they need, since they service all of the pacific region, but such is not the case. They get what toyota gives them to sell. I work in the industry, and see it all the time.

Are you saying that servco can not special order cars?

Servco sells toyota/lexus/chevy/subaru/scion/suzuki. Which store you talking about?

They have to sell the stock allotted to them first. I know that some of the stores cannot special order cars, but not sure if toyota is one of them.
Visit your dealer and see what they say. I was told that in the past, and bought a car from mainland and shipped it over here. If you do that be prepared to either have it financed there (you need excellent credit), or pay cash. No local bank is gonna finance a car not physically in the state, until it gets here by boat. But you need to pay cash upfront to get it over here. Hope you got some $$$.

But Im very glad that I went with the base and not power. Installing power windows and locks myself saves me $1200. That will go to better stuff.

hoh do mine too. i'll pay for your celica to get detailed.

evil genius · 04-20-2009, 04:13 AM

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering if the guys at mapunapuna were BSing when they told me a special order would take 4 months. I ended up getting something they had just got shipped in.

PETERPOOP · 04-20-2009, 10:06 PM

they get black, hatchback, automatic, power package. two in the warehouse on island.

anonymous user · 04-20-2009, 10:23 PM

Usually when i go to check stock, they mostly have autos. That's what 95% of customers want anyway. Also, it's easier to sell to rental car companies.
I'm going to do an inspection at the end of the month, i'll see if they have any 5sp. in stock, time permitting.

haku · 04-21-2009, 12:46 AM

^let me know! i'm starting to give up on the options and color already...
