dang....
Turns out a local dealership got a black 5 speed and they sold it in 2 hours. Another one has a white one but I don't want white. But while looking I noticed a crap load of black sedan 5speeds. If they don't get me my car by june 15th its gonna be hello sedan. And with the new pictures of one modified I think either will be nice to have. Plus I will have a tach

birdy, YOu might try putting down 500 dollars. And then being ahead in line on just what you want. Then check once a week if the car you want will be allocated in your area.

Yeah Birdy, why not secure a 5-speed hatch with a deposit?
That's probably the only way to ensure you get the vehicle you want! |

Demand exceeding supply I assume?
Hopefully you're not too far down on the list.. Good luck! |

How I finally got my yaris was my allocation guy checked his computer every week to see what yaris's were being shipped that week from japan. And finally one was close to what I wanted. But he then had to swap another car to the dealership to get the one I wanted. LUckily the other dealership did the swap. My allocation guy said sometimes they won't swap.

heres my story.
I went to a dealership that didnt have the car i wanted but they had a dealership with a swap. within 2 days i ask the dealership for the consumer report of the car there trying to get. Funny thing was that it was the same dealership that gave me a quote that same day. so i went to the dealership that had the car and bought it from them. A week later the old dealership called me and told me that the car i wanted was sold to some guy.. I was the guy that bought it. Moral of the story: I have no patience!!! OOh yeah they gave me my refund of my deposit to.. |

lol your just some guy. Anyway I have seen the hatch on the road but no sedans as of yet. But doesn't that always seem to be the case before you get a car then when you do get it, it just so happens to pop up everywhere you go.

I ordered mine a day after it became available in the USA, and waited a month before the region secured one for me.

Also wonder if the dealer doesn't work as hard on cars like the Yaris as the profit margin is low. If you were trying to get a Lexus, I wonder how much harder they would work for the customer???

Waiting
I ordered April 1st and the dealer still has not heard anything from the factory. He even offered to refund the deposit but I may as well continue to wait. There are very few lb with manual transmissions. Guess they make more $ on auto's.

The dealer made me want a sedan more today, They are gonna give me 700 more for my car to cover some of the price difference between the sedan and liftback So its prolly gonna happen.

Went to Don Jacobs Toyota in Milwaukee today to look at a Yaris. Their Web site showed they had a bunch; two 5-speed liftbacks and a bunch of sedans. I should know better than to trust a dealer Web site. Of course they didn't have a single Yaris on the lot. The sales guy told me the ones they have on their Web site are ones that are coming in and the dealer has allocated, but they sell before they sit on the lot. I did sit in a new xA, which was nice, too.
