Searching Inventory in the SE

From Wikipedia, but I think this is accurate:

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is the world’s largest franchised distributor of Toyota vehicles. The 172 dealers in the five states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina & South Carolina account for 20% of Toyota sales in the United States.


...


SET has two vehicle processing operations...from which they distributed a total of 415,000 vehicles in 2006, including 56,000 Lexus. The ship facility is located at the Jacksonville Port Authority (JaxPort) Talleyrand terminal and processes the vehicles that arrive by ship from Japan, which is 40% of Toyotas sold in the US.

Maybe different ports for Toyotas and Subarus.

Lolz, I read SoA as "Scion of America."

Edit: Does Tennessee go through the Jacksonville port or somewhere else? I didn't think it was part of the SE region.

Mine arrived today.

I hate you.

Out of curiosity, had you been checking in on the availability date through the inventory system?

(Actually, I'm not sure the same inventory tracker is available for that region. Weird.)

Enjoy!

Mine came in through Portland, picked it up this evening amazingly beautiful.

Mine is here now, too! Of course, I can't pick it up until tomorrow.

I wasn't expecting it until next week at the earliest, so no complaints here.

Nice! I am getting my car detailed and then coated with Optiguard on Tuesday. Will post pics to the Southeast section when it's done.

Just curious Erroneous.. If you don't mind me asking, what dealership did you eventually buy from? And how would you rate them? I might be in the market for an FR-S soon too..

Bought from Milton Martin in Gainesville, working with Chris. I got quick responses and mostly straightforward answers to all my questions. Good iverall experience.

Marietta Scion wasn't nearly as helpful.

That was the dealership I was looking at too actually. Great to hear you had a good experience there.

Did they get you the exact FR-S you specified? They didn't try to include any extra add-ons did they?

Thanks for answering all my questions. And congrats on finally getting your new FRS!

I didn't custom order...just took what was allocated to them bc it was an MT and asphalt. Had to take the tint, BeSpoke, carpet, and useless paint protection film. Got it close to MSRP (I know they made money in those add-ons but I was cool with that).

If you want, contact Chris Maughon and tell him Jeremy sent you. I think he'll be straight with you.

Awesome! Thanks for the insight!
