Long story short Toyota works on a Burn and Earn system. It is suppose to work that you sell an FRS you get an FRS the problem is you guessed it supply and demand.
Toyota is broken up into Regions and for example the Boston Region has 72 dealerships.
Now X amount of cars come into the country and they break it down with every Region getting a % of that X amount based on what they sell. That number is then broken down even more and spread out to the dealers based on the % they sell. I wont go into the other factors such as compliance and what not that can cause a dealer to lose Allocation.
So simple math you have 100 cars come into the country and your Region sells 20% so they get 20 cars. The dealer you ordered your car with does 5% of the sales and get a whole 1 car.
Now dealerships Preferance cars so they say I want a Scion FR-S in Black. There were 3 Black out of the 20 cars that came into your region and your dealer didnt get the Black one =\
It might be tough to follow but this might help explain why it isnt just as easy as build me the car.
