How to find out Southeast Region allocations

Hytec · 08-28-2004, 09:15 AM

I linked to the Rice Toyota inventory site then pasted my local dealer code into the URL at the "&dealer_code=" location and received the following error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: '[string: ""]'
/inventory/searchresults1.asp, line 355

What did I do wrong?
Thanks, Hank

Hank,

Is it possible that the dealer is out of the SE region? Maybe it's South Central. I see farther up the thread that someone had the same error, but later they mention they were from another region and that was the problem.

Dan,
I assumed that a dealer in Gulfport, MS would be in the South-East region (Oh, Silly Me

ops: ). If there is a South-Central region, I'm sure you are right, and it's probably HQ'd in Memphis.

Where can I find out how Toyota has organized its dealer regions? If there is a South-Central region, and Gulfport is in it, is there any way I can get the URL for the SC region, or get help modifying the SE region URL?

Thanks, Hank

I found out that the SE region includes Alabama, but not Mississippi. There appears to be a Gulf Coast region, but I have only been able to identify Texas and Louisiana as included states. The only returns from Google for "South Central" were in the UK and Australia...I doubt if MS would be included. Hopefully someone else will have more info.

Okay, let's see if I can get this right. Here's the breakdown of the different regions of Toyota. I don't know the exact names of the regions, except for Southeast and Gulf States, because they are private distributors.

1. Conneticut, New Jersey, New York

2. Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota

3. Michigan, Ohioa, Kentucky, S. California, Tennessee

4. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Nevada

5. Delaware, Maryland, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virgina

6. N. California, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island

7. Southeast Toyota: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina

8. Gulf States Toyota: Arkansas, Louisiana, Missisipi, Oklahoma, Texas

I got this info off the Toyota fleet page. I have no idea how they decide what state is in what region--some stuff makes sense geographically and others don't. Somewhere there's a thread about the different regions w/ the code for each region (when you use build your car on the Toyota site, you the code you can enter for the entire region instead of a zip code), and I think maybe a phone number of the head of each region.

I don't think anyone has had success breaking the dealer code for any region but the SE. I tried for a bit to figure out the Gulf States allocation but gave up.

I think I may have been wrong about the different Toyota regions.

Here is the thread with the different regions and their codes. Don't ask me where any of this info comes from. I've given up on understanding the Toyota distribution system.

It still doesn't change the fact that Mississippi is part of Gulf States (add on the extra port options, baby!)

OK, I haven't ever used this emoticon before but I just have to now :wtf:
I mean, I know there are geographically challenged people but there is 2500 miles between CA and the those New England states. Maybe that is why it takes 2 weeks longer for our cars to get here. They dump them off at the Golden Gate and they have to make their way east ;-)

Does anyone know if this URL will show the 2006 models when they start to come in, or will there be some other part of the URL that has to be changed?

A fellow member brought this thread to my attention. My Greensboro dealer is telling me that they are getting 3 a month and I have a 18 month wait. When I did the little 'hack' for the dealer I see they are getting quite a few more (5 pages! :crazyeyes: ) than three cars a month! Is this really what they are getting?? Or is this list for the whole southeast region? If I click on a car each one says the dealer's name.

< update: This is actually the whole SE region. WHen I click on the list above and click on all those avail in the region, this same list shows up. I don't get just the Greensboro list to start with at all. >

Dan, I just put a deposit down 2 days ago at Rice on the Tideland Pearl Pkg.1 05 model. It and a White one is due in on the 8th (Tuesday). Not sure about the others though.

Also, I have replaced the dealer code and I'm coming up with my color but the VIN is not correct. I'm I missing something here?
