is this a common deal? i'm not mad at all, just wondering if the dealer really had a white FRS coming in, or if he just said that to get my money, then found one after the fact.

also, does 3-4 weeks for a FRS sound like a pretty short wait at this point of time?

i'm excited!

This is not bad at all. The exact same thing happened to me. I went to Sports City Toyota/Scion. If thats where you went i can testify 100%. What he told you is exactly what he said to me. I had to call them 10 times to talk to the salesman his name was Jeff Jones. Eventhough i was feeling the way you did. He came through and i couldnt be happier.
