According to the dealer I placed my deposit with, Toyota allocates a certain number of vehicles to each based on their volume. If the vehicle you're looking for just happens to be in the allocation, you win, otherwise you wait. If you can convince them to swap with other dealers, good on you, but don't count on it. Of the 3 dealers I spoke to, two get about 1 FR-S/month, the third gets 3-4 every other week. Obviously, the third does far more business than the other two.

The advice I got was "don't be picky on color".
