When will the Yaris hit the showrooms at dealers?

[Goose]

Leenis24's statement about custom orders is accurate. I was shown a Tundra that was ordered with a particular option combo that had just arrived on the dealer's lot; it took eight months to be delivered to the dealer! The customer HAD to have it spec'd a certain way, and was willing to wait - no matter how long it took.

In order to get such a car, a dealer has to have a firm Buyer's Order and a serious deposit. Once the dealer can show this to their Regional Office, the order is placed into the Toyota system by the Regional Office. Only then is the car/truck slated for production; actually when it is produced depends on the production schedule. Obviously, such orders are not encouraged by Toyota and are not given any priority.

In short, unless you're willing to endure a long wait, have a variety of colors/option combos in mind when you talk to your dealer. With an open mind about what you'll take, you'll stand the best chance of getting a car quickly.

I ordered my '07 Yaris RS - 3DR Blazing Blue - 5 spd with the B Package back on December 30, 2005 – The dealer actually placed the order in mid-January when the plant re-opened to produce the 07 models. It arrived at the dealer mid-March while I was out of the country. The manufacture date was Feb 8/07. I took possession this past Monday (04/17) and its been a blast. My advice, quit belly-aching and just order the damn thing from the factory and spec it to your liking and wait for it. Besides, 8-10 weeks is a fair time to wait for a personally spec’d car from Japan. (I am in Western Canada)

Oh, and I only put a $50 deposit on the car and it was delivered to the dealer with just that amount :)

Hell, my buddy spec’d a Cadillac CTS (built in Lansing, MI) and it took 12 weeks to arrive in Calgary.

I will post some pics of it this weekend.

“Oh what a feeling"

oh cool, never been down that way. well, i've been in the Boston area quite a few but thats it. heard its nice though

[why?]

It is pretty cool. Way too many tourists though.

They only place I've stayed in Vermont is Stowe. There's a restaraunt there called Mr. Pickwick's. I have to get back there eventually.

[stuffy]

i'm heading your way this summer why?, going to visit my brother in boston and probably add to the volume of tourists,

(sorry)

[Leenis24]

i have a couple friends going to be in Boston this summer. Probly swing down there too. Again adding to the tourist number, opps.

[why?]

Hey, I almost never go to boston, it is about 2 hours away.

I stay near where I live.

The only options mine has is the larger washer tank, rear wiper, DRL, and the MP3/CD player. No power package, ABS, TPMS, etc.

I love it! Nothing ever breaks!
