I actually got on it back in November, however they told me they weren’t taking “customers” yet. Then my salesman called me earlier this week and told me I’d be number 5 on their list. When I originally inquired, nobody had even asked, but I guess friends of the owner and managers bumped me. Oh well number 5 isn’t too bad, I’ll take it.
I did see that Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa had some LC250s in the pipeline, so the distribution is filling out more, now, it seems.
From reading various forums, it seems the Gulf States distributer is guilty of extreme port add-ons. Sad that corporate Toyota turns a blind eye. Market arrogance.
Yes, unfortunately i was told by my dealership Gulf States will put a bunch of add-ons that no one really wants to inflate the car prices. Fingers crossed that as other areas receive their allocations, we'll start seeing some movement down here.
Toyota corporate sadly has no say in distributor/port options, and I think the problem got worse during pandemic shortage, they loaded EVERY vehicle whatever option possible.
