I was happy to put up with it until 'green comet' made his post, he ordered his after me in July, I've been pushed back from October to November to December and still not confirmed while his is in production now and for delivery October - his good luck!! Now compare his to a lady at my work who also ordered hers same time as him, still being told 'it could be 18 months or more!' Now that's totally unfair! And for those who think the huge city Dealers are getting the stock, hmmm .. totally wrong! These are my comments and NOT intended to offend anyone at all!! We are all 'in the same boat' womdering what the hell Toyota's methodology is! PASS ME THE RUBICS CUBE PLEASE!! |

Agree totally, FIFO regardless, I always thought 'service' was about the customer! It may be of interest while city Dealers are hunting the 86, country Dealers are hunting the SR5, so I know Dealers are swapping, not hard to work out why! Small Country Dealer gets an 86 but his market is the SR5 BTW, my order is also for 'Velocity Orange' and still to see that, silver and blue in the 'flesh' Thanks guys and gals!

I wouldn't say I was lucky, I did alot of homework before I ordered the car. I rang over a dozen dealerships to find out order quantities, when Shepparton Toyota told me they only had 2 orders in line I made left a deposit. |

Possibly a stupid question but where does one find their stock number?

I would say that 99 out of every 100 who have placed an order would not have been aware of the methodology Toyota uses. I guess I feel sorry for the customers of one Dealership in Brisbane who supposedly took 90 orders in the first FOUR days! Where the hell would you be in their queue? |
