Is everyone seeing that, or is it redirecting to what my local dealer has available?
No manuals available in my ZIP either. (97219)

I'd have to go do Colorado or California to get one. However, then I have to pay that state's sales tax (Oregon has no sales tax).

The dealership collects the same tax as your home/resident city/state, not the city/state you are buying from. That was my experience. You should be fine.

California requires the dealer collect the sales tax regardless of the end-users residency.

The ONLY exemption is if the car is shipped out of state w/ a common carrier. Apparently you can file to get the taxes back, however.

I'm not sure why, but none of the dealers in CA seemed interested in dealing with me when I contacted them about purchasing one of their manual Yaris SE's long-distance, before I finally got to the one in CO. The CO dealership jumped on me like white on rice though. Strange.

Weird. Was the one in CO on the lot?

Yes, sadly enough it was sitting on the lot unwanted for about 8 months according to cargurus.com. What a travesty!

That's probably why they jumped at it; wanting to move inventory.

If you go into a Toyota dealership, and this likely isn't news to many, if you tell them you're there to look at or buy a Yaris, they'll make every attempt to get you into anything else, especially a Prius c or Scion. Why? Margins. There's little reason to get people into a Yaris because they simply don't make money on them.

I still have 3 dealers calling/ texting -- informing me that the 2016 SE Hatchbacks will not be manufactured until March .....

... strictly as a tactic (a lie), to get me to come down and buy an L or LE which they have in stock.

You have to request a manual transmission. it's doable. Our 2015 SE had to be special ordered with a 5spd manual.

Arizona dealers told me that this region stopped stocking the manual Yaris as of the end of the 2014 model year, and wouldn't help me (other than try to get me into an automatic they had on the lot). That is why I had to go out-of-state to obtain my Yaris.

Which dealer?

A few years back, I was told it wasn't doable. I guess it depends on how badly a dealer wants to sell a Yaris. In most cases, that's not high on their priority list.

he tried to talk us out of a yaris quite a few times as their profit margin is minimal on them. But ultimately we just said we want it SE, 5 speed, and dark grey and he called around and had the factory in france make one.

Sounds to me that whomever you spoke too just didn't want to help you. haha
