It is being reported that some dealerships in the NE region are asking $500 Deposit, refundable, but you're taking a $10,000 markup. With a wait time of roughly 6 months.
Toyota has been made aware of this, but since dealerships are privately owned, there's not anything that can be done.
Worth mentioning that some dealerships are guess-timating a MSRP of $31,000.
