So I called a bunch of dealers in the greater LA area, here are my results:
Longo Toyota: Added me to a "very long waitlist". Mentioned something interesting, that the USA is only getting 190 units for this entire 2019 year (some of which he's positive they'll be getting), the rest will come early 2020. Would love to know if anyone has heard similar. He also made it seem like this first batch of the year will be the launch edition, and that Base / Premium would come in 2020.
Toyota of Hollywood: No deposits, no waitlist.
Keyes Toyota: Second on waiting list.
Toyota of North Hollywood: No waiting list or deposits, person was rude and told I can contact them when the car releases but no earlier. Update #2: Told me that Marina Del Rey and Santa Monica may be getting them, but still no info on whether they'd be carrying any.
Toyota Downtown LA: No waiting list or deposits.
Toyota Santa Monica: Sales said they're arriving late this year, but there's no vin number(s) and currently no way to place order…they're in the dark about timeline or allocations. Direct quote, "If anyone gives you a timeframe they’re lying." Lol.
Toyota Marina Del Rey: Spoke to New Car Sales Manager, they're not taking deposits or doing waiting list. It will be strictly First Come First Serve when cars hit the lot. (Sounds like ADM to me). Update #2: apparently I’ve been put on a waiting list lol. Summer 2019 for all trims according to person who followed up with me.
Seems like none of the dealers have real info except for Longo, which maybe makes sense since they're the biggest Toyota Dealer in the nation (or State?). If anyone finds a dealer in SoCal that will take a deposit please DM me!
