That has a lot to do with the regional distributor. Gulf States Toyota Distributing and South East Toyota Distributing are independently owned and they have a lot of configs they refuse to order. NC is not under SETD, SC is.
I had no idea. Thank you for the education.
The only reason I found the one like mine is that my dad knows the guy who owns the NC dealership and encouraged me to check.
His inventory was pretty much the same then I saw the one like mine and had to double take the sticker price. 4WD really wasn’t a priority but I can be flexible. All I wanted was a V6.
I called and booked a test drive but it was sold the next day. After the runaround from the guy here, I called them back up and paid a visit. After a few minutes, I put a deposit down and they would get one on order.
The expected time was a month. No problem. Not in a massive rush.
I was almost home about 5 and got a call. The salesguy found one in transit here and traded some for it. It was in a week later and even the color I liked. It was picked up the following weekend.
