True of False.. a dealership in the US can order you a Yaris

[xed]

I've seen a variety of comments on this and I want to know since it effects when/how I should buy.

I want to know if you can really order a Yaris through a dealership. This does NOT mean dealer installed options. Dealers can always install dealer options; that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about factory installed options, specifically airbags.

I've heard stories about dealerships telling people "Yes we'll order it." only for them to find out later that it never happened.

So what's the deal?

- Do the dealers put in a "wish list" with Toyota and then they just get whatever is the closest match to their "wish list" that shows up on the next boat?

- Or can dealers really order "Car X with factory option Y" but they just don't want to because they're worried about getting stuck with the car?

- Or is it something else all together?

The reason I ask is because I want to get an 08 LB manual with side curtain airbags but from the inventory lists I've only seen a manual+airbags in the new "S" option and I don't feel like paying 2Gs for a lip kit and a leather shift knob. I just want a manual with side curtain airbags and I don't mind waiting months if I have too, I just want to know if they can really order it or if they're just going to "take my order" and then just cross their fingers and check boat inventories.

any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
ty in advance.
