| The dealer that said they could get a Pyrite Mica with Red Rock Interior Sequoia called Toyota and was told that they are not going to make that combination. It seems to be available on the Toyota website but Toyota will not make it. Has anyone else heard of this response? Does that make sense that Toyota would not make a color combo that a dealer has a buyer for? My wife really wants the Pyrite Mica/RedRock combo. Is there any other way to get Toyota to make it? | |

Hi Mack, 2 weeks ago, I leased a 2008 2WD Sequoia Limited in Texas - 20inch wheels, power slide moonroof, power tailgate, rear spoiler, DRL, and DVD player ($51,240 MSRP, negotiated rate of $44,800) - 36 months, 12K miles/year, 0 down, $732/mo, $25,260 residual. I was told I am getting three benefits while leasing, 2K owners loyalty (I owned a Sienna before this one), sales tax credit and special money factor (2.75%) How do I figure out if this was a good deal or not? Greatly appreciate your response. BTW, my wife absolutely loves the car.

Replying to: ratomlinson (Apr 28, 2008 9:43 am) Your dealer is not being entirely forthcoming. I just checked the inventory for available 4x4 Platinums in the Southeast Toyota (SET) region and they have one available for sale on 5/06/08. This being said, this is an unusual combination and of the 40 Platinum 4x4s listed on the SET inventory, there was only one. At one point I was looking at the same combo, but my wife ultimately decided that she wanted the Frost Pearl. All I can say is be prepared to wait. What I've learned through this process is the waiting can be agonizing because of the lack of visibility from the manufacturer. If you are adamant on that combo, your dealer can preference the vehicle every 15 days and the manufacturer announces allocations on the first Thursday of each month. So, what happens is you wait a month at a time and hope that your dealer receives the allocation they have preferenced. It is also my understanding that the dealer can special order a vehicle, however, you could be waiting months and dealers hate doing this because it eats up one of their allocation spots. With $250 over invoice, I'll lay a bet your dealer will do anything to not special order a vehicle for you. If you were paying close to MSRP, story might be different. Buying a Toyota is a nightware because of the options and the distributor chains, especially when an independent distributor such as Gulf States of South east is involved. I've known people who were so put off by their inability to obtain a vehicle in a configuration they wanted, that they just walked over to the Honda dealership, picked between DX, LX & EX, with NAV or without NAV and were done. |
