Yaris lead times

[YarisHatch]

I put a deposit down for one 05/15 and its supposed to get here 06/18, i'm in the states, east coast. It all depends on what your looking for. I have a black 5spd hatchback coming in.

Dealer couldn't give me an accurate time on order. We were hoping that another dealership in Oz had one I could get, but no luck .

Next move was to see if Yari on current production line could have spec change to fit my request, Green Aspen mica metallic YRX 3 door with full sports kit, extra interior accesories etc - this is what has now happened . If Toyota was not willing to do the spec change it would not have been built until the August production - not here until late September .

Knew that it was highly likely that the wait would be 6-8 weeks as the colour is quite unique and there are not may 1.5 YRX's being sold in Adelaide.......YET

I ordered my car March 28 and picked it up April 28th.

I wonder what the poll would look for just the US folks who ordered one. Do you think the lead times are different for the US vs. Canandian or Aus?

I'm in the u.s, it will be about a month and three days since my deposit on the hatch before it gets here on the 18th. It really depends on what you want over here, 5spd's in the hatch are extremely hard to get in the southeast part of the states.

so i've seen, i was told when i ordered mine on memorial day that it would be here by the 10th.... they just told me today that the one they had supposedly ordered from another dealer was sold by that dealer... anyway, they have ordered mine from toyota for the next shippment and have also found a black one and a red one with the same setup they may be able to get me sooner, will find out tomorrow.... see, this is what i hate about new cars that the companys aren't sure whether or not they will do well, a million get ordered, but only a limited amount are sent out for the first 6 months or so.... how do you guys like the black or red ones?

Exactly what is happening on the east coast. Are manuals easier to find over on the west? Almost 85% of all hatchbacks are automatics so i've been hearing, so finding a manual is like ultra rare. From what i've been told, black 5spd's are even harder to find because majority of manuals out there right now are either red or green.

well they found me a red one from another dealer out of state and are trying to get it for me, will find out tomorrow...

well i talked to the sales manager today and they got me a red 5spd w/convenience package coming to them on this shipment, it is in the computer as coming straight to them and is also marked as sold with my name on it... it is supposed to hit houston,tx on the 14th then get to me here in louisiana a few days later... also, it's red, and if i'm not happy with the color they can either get me another one when they can or i'll go somewhere else/get something else.... but i really want a yaris.... wish me luck guys

The red is a nice color.

I wish you good luck eight heads! After you have gotten and driven your car, please don't forget to report your fuel economy on the "Fuel Economy" thread for the benefit of all .

[eight_heads]

no problem on the economy thing.... of course, economy will change once the engine is broken in and a nice oil film is made on the cylinder walls

I waited 4 months.... :( but worth the wait...
