Scion dealers can't order cars. They only get a certain number allocated to them based on their past sales performance. I got my firestorm FR-S last Thursday from a small town dealer. My car was only the third one he ever received from the factory.
They are notified in advance of what they're going to receive and roughly when they will receive it. I know I called around three weeks ago and said I was looking for a red, manual transmission. The sales rep told me they would have one in sometime around the middle of September. I put a deposit (credit card) on the car to hold it for me. I first confirmed that the deposit was refundable in the event I didn't want the car after I saw it and test drove it.
Just start close to home and keep working your way out to other dealers till you find what you're looking for or at least find something that will be acceptable.
My experience was that most Scion dealers are selling for MSRP and not placing a premium on the car.
Good luck.
