Do you expect to be in a position to possibly be able to buy the two-tone? I had read those would be limited in numbers.I like it! That looks like a J250 First Edition for markets without the LC300 (hence the missing Prado badge on the back). Two tone Trail Dust is my new color; it looks better and better every time I see it. My 23 year old Jeep Wrangler TJ still looks great in Solar Yellow which is similar to Trail Dust.
Apparently 5000 for all of North America. Someone here did the math and that works out to 2 or 3 per dealer, I think (all things being equal). I suspect they will go to the highest bidder, but who knows.Do you expect to be in a position to possibly be able to buy the two-tone? I had read those would be limited in numbers.
I don't expect I'll have an opportunity to buy a First Edition trim. I will not pay over MSRP because this would be a big problem if everybody did that. Iโve been watching color changes on the Rav4, so I expect Toyota will change the LC 250 color options from year to year. Yes, this implies Iโm willing to wait a long time to get the LC 250 I want.Do you expect to be in a position to possibly be able to buy the two-tone? I had read those would be limited in numbers.
No special/custom orders here in the USA for Toyota and Honda. If you get in line, I assume you can pass on trims/colors you don't want and wait for your preference to show up in the pipeline allocated for that dealer. There are no down payments at my local dealer until the vin number shows up in the pipeline. There are no dealer trades either I've been told.Dealers will order some specific trims and colors based on your preference or they will get whatever Toyota will ship to them ?
Is the "no dealer trades" protocol a function of the fact that all dealers will be able to sell whatever colors/trims the dealer receives?No special/custom orders here in the USA for Toyota and Honda.

I suspect yes. The restriction is in place here locally for high demand vehicles.Is the "no dealer trades" protocol a function of the fact that all dealers will be able to sell whatever colors/trims the dealer receives?
This is kind of extreme because you may loose the warranty for good and risk to pay lot of money. Are you sure you can play with the hybrid system ?I plan to do all maintenance and repairs myself including warranty work when possible, so I'm having a hard time with the idea of paying a dealership to limit my access to the LC 250 I want.

This is even more interesting. Manufacturers and dealers must trust you DIY the right things when maintaining your truck, locomotive, marine engine or F-16 .... and cover the warranty for whatever may go wrong.
I doubt this is the purpose of that law. You can use a different authorized workshop/company or certify your own employees, but DIY as a person all along the warranty period is hard to believe.
On my EV they provide 6 years bumper to bumper warranty and 8 years on the battery. I bet it is lost if I do not visit a dealership yearly for inspection. Not much to do, but they check everything and maybe they update some software.
I think the two tone colors are going to be available on all trims. That's how the announcements seem to me. Not sure though.Do you expect to be in a position to possibly be able to buy the two-tone? I had read those would be limited in numbers.
Yes, but only Trail Dust and Heritage Blue is what I've read.I think the two tone colors are going to be available on all trims. That's how the announcements seem to me. Not sure though.
