Slanders, this doesn’t constitute evidence for your supposition but when I described to the sales manager at a large Toronto dealership how the allocation system supposedly operated and asked whether in fact an “order” was handled that way, he vehemently denied it and said an order would be placed with Toyota for the specific model I wanted. He didn’t sugar-coat delivery times either, said it would take about 9 to 12 months, which made me think he might actually not have been gaming me. (I made this inquiry early last summer, wait times may have dropped a bit since.)
