My new Yaris finally arrived! I went to the dealership and paid for it (paid cash), but left it there for them to take off stickers, etc. I'm going on vacation with my wife for 5 days and I didn't want to take my new car home and have it sit on the street alone for five days :) Will pick it up next Thursday for good! It was great to sit in it and take it for a short spin through the parking lot! It looks even better than it looks on the websites and in catalogs. Very excited.

It took about 6-7 weeks to get here once the dealership put in the order to the factory.

I just searched (on the internet -for the heck of it) the 5 dealerships North of I-10 that first came to mind to see if they had any 5-speed Manual Yaris SE specimens. Yes? No?...No..The total = zero. However, I did make an unexpected discovery. These 5 dealerships have a total of 16 New 2012 Yaris L 3-Door 5-speed manuals for sale. Gullo Toyota 2 Black ones and 1 Lagoon Blue Mica. Fred Haas Toyota World has 2 Black ones and 1 Classic Silver. Fred Haas Toyota Country has 1 Black and 1 Classic Silver. Joe Meyers Toyota has 2 Black ones, 1 Classic Silver, 1 Absolutely Red, and 1 White (like Tooter's). Tejas Toyota has 2 black ones and 1 Lagoon Blue Mica (same selection (not same cars) that Gullo has).

I find it curious that there are this many just in one part of one metro, given how hard they have been to find in the past. I wonder if it has something to do with the end of the model year? Or if these somehow might not be selling in other areas, but do sell well here so were available for dealer trade. I also wonder why so many of them are Black Sand Pearl, as I would think the further south one goes in the U.S. the fewer Black cars (and more White cars) would be sold due to the heat during the Summer.

Interesting. I wonder...why the difference? I remember Tooter (in the L.A. area) and another member in Northern California wrote about the almost non existent supply of 2012 L series 5-speed manuals in their areas back when they each managed to find one and bought it. I think that one white one here will go quickly, but I think each black one will be a tougher sell in the midst of a hot, humid Houston Summer.....Aha...just had a new thought....perhaps they are gearing up for Labor Day Weekend....It is one of the biggest car selling periods of the year. However, if that is the case, what makes Arizona (and other places with few 5-speeds) so different?

The dealers can get you what you want. I wanted the base model, 5 speed , none around, a computer search, and 2 days later thay had the exaxct one one the lot, color and all, for $14,200, the only option I had wanted was cruise, which is not avaliable, but they had it added, after it was on their lot for $289.

I think that you just hit upon the reason there are so many black ones which are still up for sale.

Finding a 5-door 5-speed is like finding the last dodo bird.

I know for a fact that I want the 5-spd manual in Super White, though, and after some negotiation, they said they'll go as low $14,762. MSRP is $15,055 and they won't go lower than $14,762.

If I go with the new Yaris, I'll be trading in my current 2007 Corolla 5-spd manual (113,000 miles).

Any thoughts on this price? Also, I'll be paying for the purchase with cash. Thanks.

I paid $15,840 Out The Door. In Los Angeles.
