I bought my 2023 out of state and had it shipped to me... the rear plate bracket was in the hatch. There are some indents in the plastic on the rear that line up with the holes in the bracket but no holes in the plastic. Is there something under there that has threads or?
I used AutoTrader and contacted over 100 dealers over 3 months. I Finally found an A91 in CU Later in Rhode Island for 3K over and bought it. Even with 2K in shipping to get it to Colorado I was happy (Ish) with the deal. It will get here Monday or Tuesday.
4K over for an A91MT is a steal right now. I have been contacting dealers all over the country via AutoTrader (101 cars so far) and A91's are 10K over. Some dealers have them as much as 25K over.
Well AutoTrader has a lot all over the country. But in general you can't get them. I have contacted at least 50 dealers through AutoTrader and they either have already sold or they can't sell out of state. Oh I did have a few tell me they wanted 10 to $20k markup.

He told me 10K over, I said no thanks, he asked for my "offer to take to management". All that...
Really disappointed in the number of dealers that tell me to come on in, they have a car for me, then when I ask if they sell out of state they come back with "Oh, wait - it is sold".
Fair enough. Still sleazy to me though :). I replied that I am in touch with dozens of dealers across the country (which I am) and if she gets an allocation for any 6MT I am interested. My only criteria is no yellow. (Sorry yellow owners, the color is stunning but not for me.) I also really want...
Then when I respond that they actually can NOT do this I get a response like. "Since the inventory shortage we've had to build vehicles for our customers, take deposits and preference for the particular vehicle. We do have to wait for Toyota to give us the allocation, you're correct." Implying...
I had not looked at Autotrader, yes, there are a bunch there. I sent inquiries on the first few and so far the responses have been "this is sold but you can order one from us". Annoying to see dealers claiming they can custom order.
