You've forgotten about the rest of the idiots on the road with you...
Or the rain/snow/glare/biblical flood that caused you to loose sight of the road.

Shit I can't even configure am 08 Liftback S in my zipcode yet. Same thing happened when I was trying to get my S sedan, the dealer had to trade with another dealer out of state to get the Nautical Blue S sedan.

Toyota just doesn't care about us hillbillys, which seems pretty ironic seeing how there's a Toyota engine factory here in WV.

So on the Toyota website they list that the Yaris Liftback S comes with a tach O_O. Finally. Now I can swap one into my 07 liftback ;)

I was informed by a new Jersey Toyota dealership that the zone that includes Connecticut, New York and New Jersey will not receive any Toyota Yaris S hatchbacks for the entire model year. I was also told if the model of Toyota that you want is not on the Toyota web site by now, then it won't be available in your zip code.

It's looking now like I will have to order a car from a dealership in South Carolina to get the options that I want. Not a bad road trip from Pennsylvania.

I'd like to special order my car when the money comes around, but I'm seeing some bad signs. That, and if I want to special order a MT LB S, am I hosed since I'm in a zone that appearantly doesn't get them?

the H/B's are a Hot Item right now ! And No dealer in their right mind is gonna trade one away that has any of the popular colors / options , I see the Dealers marking them up soon , when they get a loaded black , blazin' blue or red H/B in the allotment it's cash in the bank .....

When I ordered my S LB, I ordered options that wre not offered in my region. I believe any dealer can order you a car with whatever options you want. If the dealer says he can't, it's because he doesn't want to. From what I was told, a salesman doesn't "get credit", i.e. comission, from a car sale until the car is delivered. I have to wait 12 weeks to get my Yaris, thats 3 months the salesman has to wait to get his cut. He didn't seem too upset, but this was also at one of the largest Toyota dealers in the midwest, so cars are going out of there constantly. My advice is to call dealer after dealer until you find one that will order you a car.

What did you get for options? Have you got your build sheet yet?
I ordered one a few weeks ago but it has not been "confirmed" yet by Toyota...

nsmitchell · 09-24-2007, 09:57 AM

You know what pisses me off about the "Build your own Yaris" site. They show the Yaris with the wheels I've been trying to get, but they are not available in any way. Not by packages, or accessories! That is false advertising. Like showing you an option thay you can't get no matter what! I want those stubby 5 spoke whhels!!! All they offer are the steel wheels or the ugly TRD wheels. WTF?!

I got an '08 S LB 5-speed with All weather package, Power package with steel wheels, Side air'bags, floor mats, and a bumper guard (the little pad on thp of the rear bumper so it doesn't get scratched up. The dealer also charged me $500 for the TRD 18's with tires. My build was "confirmed" about a week after I ordered it.

nsmitchell, Are you talking about the alloys that come in the S package? The 2 S package codes, I believe, are PV and PY, I can't remember what one has the steelies and what one has the alloys.

The Toyota website is geared to "car stupid" people. Believe me, I'm not calling anyone here stupid by any means. All I'm saying is don't believe everything the website tells you. Any car with any available options can be had by you regardless of what region you are in. If the dealer tells you he can't get it, he doesn't care about your business. Go to another dealer! It will take time so don't be exspecting to drive away that "perfect" car in a few days.

it took 3 weeks to secure mine but I had a good friend and dealer pick mine up. MMMM BLACK IS NICE!

The "S" LB doesn't come up for my zip code. But, about all you get is a tach and cruise control. Same engine and suspension so it's really much ado about nothing. In my district you can't get the stock Toyota alloys. All wheel upgrades are the spokey looking things the regional importer puts on at a higher price. What a rip.

I just want a 1.8L RS next year......puhleeze.
