Question about Toyota's shipping system - Toyota Yaris Forums

The "supply and demand" situation depends alot on where you are. My experience has been that hatchbacks are out there, although the dealer may have to either trade or order a car. This assessment does not apply to the west coast, as it seems any interesting car either has long waits or high markups. I can't believe California MINI dealers are still getting over sticker on the MINI (or so I've been told). Silly...

The situation you describe sounds like the dealer is jerking you around a bit, hoping you'll panic and cave-in. Although there is the standard "new model demand" for the Yaris hatch, it doesn't seem too bad and you shouldn't have to take dealer add-ons. I've noticed that my local Honda dealer is trying the "piling-on the-extras" stunt with the Fit.

Patience is the key. If you're willing to make a token deposit and wait a few weeks or so, you should be able to get exactly what you want.
