Friends: 0 |  TMC not building my car...back to square 1 Well...my Sales Rep called today and said essentially that they can't get my car...Toyota's not building them yet.  I 'ordered' a Black exterior/Dark Grey interior V w/ NO options...just 3 little accessories (alarm, floor mats, and bumper applique) in a straight MSRP deal. SR says they don't know how long it would be, and went thru an almost apologetic upsale attempt to a V w/ NAV. I guess those are starting to become available.... I'm cogitating about it....  Got my 1 month old $500 deposit back w/ no hassle....but I'm not any happier. Kudos to Germain Toyota tho...they could have held it for who knows how long. Soooo...any stripped down Black (or WinterGrey) Vs out there? jm |

Friends: 9 | Re: TMC not building my car...back to square 1 My dad has a III with the regular jbl radio and I have the V with AT. I know $1800 is a lot of money but for the money I think the nav works great and on a V it just feels like it 'belongs' in there. (The nav screen that is) Still, I know it stinks when you have your heart set on something and you just can't get it. I hope you either have the patience to wait or you can find a dealer somewhere else, even if a trip is involved, that can get it for you. Good Luck!

Friends: 38 | Re: TMC not building my car...back to square 1 On custom orders, that's up to your selling dealer. I wouldn't charge any extra. You, on the other hand, will have to find a dealer who is willing AND who knows how......  |

Friends: 10 | Re: TMC not building my car...back to square 1 shouldn't be. the only drawback to custom orders is the time frames involved. at launch in May, it was announced that pkg #1's would not be available until September, so is it, your dealer did not tell you that?
