Glad it worked out for you but still doesn't change what I said.
I believe you that they did in fact call you first, again some dealers will keep an internal "list" but nothing is FACTUAL.
I am far from wrong, as I have proven here over and over but I am tired of trying to help and receive...
My dealership won’t even charge my deposit until they have the vspec for the car. But then again dealers across the country are handling this very differently. I’m pretty sure I saw you post over on the GRC forum also. Somebody mentioned On there a few dealerships had to cancel their waitlists
...and in turn Toyota.
I gave the dealer a $1k deposit the day after the A91 was unveiled, got my paperwork saying MSRP, as soon as the allocations were known I knew I was getting one, then we specced the car, little later I got my VIN, little after that I drove the car home.
Doing the exact...
100. I'll be disappointed but not surprised if GRMN ends up being artificially limited and hyper-priced (if it's even built, which I sort of doubt). The whole artificial constraint trend that Ford and others are pursuing is a money giveaway to dealers but customer-hostile, which I think is bad...
This is also how I got the Supra... had an allocation for a GT3 and was passed up. I'm pretty sure they marked the car up double and went with someone else who would pay it. They offered a 911T or a 781 GT4. Whole experience pissed me off and still salty. Happily went to Toyota afterwards.
As...
...an allocation for the new Vantage and this is going to be more of the same shit.
Even if you have a "deposit", if your dealership gets 0 allocations then you're out of luck. Even if they get 1 or 2 allocations your deposit means jack shit.
If the GRMN ever comes to fruition, the most action...
If you are a "senior manager" in supply chains how can you not understand JIT? If they are that squeezed on parts. Removing allocations could cause the entire assembly line to have to pause. Its clear you have no idea what you're talking about.
Im done responding here.
Probably could be pushed back but based off Toyota launch schedules allocations will be in a few months most likely. Circuit Pack production will be longer
I would be wary allocations won't be given dealer for months I would just get my name out there no money involved until they have a guaranteed allocation
...You can't "order" a car from Toyota right now. You basically put down a deposit, then they go through the national inventory and various allocations to find you what you want. For some reason my spec was "never" seen at the dealership. Umm It's just a premium 3.0 black on black with...
