I've been to two dealers so far and one seemed to be ready to order everthing I wanted, but I started to feel a "bait and switch" coming on. My question is, am I asking the impossible or should this go smoothly and I'm worrying for nothing? Thanks for any stories, advice, opinion.

The blue color in the picture below isn't offered in CT. They told me it was then tried the signature bait and switch. I ended up going through 3 levels of management maybe 4 (Can't really remember). Filed some complaints. In the end, they got me what i wanted, and delivered to my local shop. The only thing was i had to "order" it through a shop in California (Where the color is offered by toyota). It took a while yes, but it's a bigger investment too. Happy Hunting and good luck.
