I believe there are only two routes here in terms of a dealership getting a car you want based on a waitlist/deposit situation based on my personal experience and investigations. firstly, they could order you one from japan, which is a 6 to 9 month turnaround (supposedly, i'm not sure if this is even true). secondly, they take your color/drivetrain preference and will try to trade their inventory with another dealership that has the combo you want.
i placed a $500 deposit at a dealership for 3 weeks, but ultimately i did my own searching since that dealership was only getting one more car in the next month (they were going to trade for one).
i just called and emailed all the dealerships in town, fortunately there were 8 to 9 dealerships available for me to do this. found one with a car coming in that matched my color preferences that was not presold yet. so i took back my deposit from the other dealership and signed a contract for the car just 2 days ago. received my vin number and everything. car is at the port and waiting to be delivered within the next week.
