Likely. The profit margin on a car as cheap as the yaris is very small. If they have to go out of their way to get what a potential buyer wants, it may not be worth it to them.

Actually, if they preference a car, they stand to make more money on the holdback, which will not be going towards any overhead other than prep. Just an easy 2%. Don't forget to factor that in to your negotiations.
