There is a post in there about a dealer selling someone's rig to another party for a higher price, and the salemen laughed about it.

I would get revenge.

Their site though seems to have just gone down at the time of my posting.

Believe me, if one of my local dealers had one on the lot like I want, I would take tomorrow off of work and buy it for the right price.

WA. state where I am at simply does not have any unspoken for hardly.
All pre sold, or if there are any sitting around, they are decked out to the max.

I contacted one of WA. states biggest Toyota dealers yesterday and I was told I would have to put the $500 down and wait the 2 to 4 months to get one.

6 here in NJ, 2 sticks, one wit, one without roof rack. The one yellow (auto) has been there since they came out. The salesman there said they actually only sold 2, and get 2 about every month. I have only seen 1 on the road, not a big market in NJ, mostly soccer mom's here, closest trails are about 3 hours away.

I don't know if there are a lot available but I've seen a ton of these in L.A. The colors so far have been silver, yellow, blue and black. In the last week, I've seen at least 10 different ones driving to work 3 miles away and back home.

My co-worker buddy said that Carson Toyota in SoCal is selling them for MSRP and he said that there were quite a few on the lot. He's thinking about getting a Nissan Pathfinder... yuuuuuck!

The one on Ebay is not equiped like the one I have on order.
Also that is a little to far from my little town.

I want one, but I am not going out of state to get it.

I've finally been seeing more FJs around the Denver area in the last two weeks and I saw 6 of them on a lot the other day.

My dealer called me twice about seeling mine back for a $2000 profit. Mine is a 6 speed manual with only CQ, alloy, airbags. Also I have 1700 miles, and still being offered $2K profit here in PA.

I've seen black, blue, yellow, and the maroon colors here. I have no idea how they are tricked out though.

Funny story: I saw this PERFECT 1970's cruiser for sale along the main drag. It's factory Mint Green, not a spot of rust and 81,000 original miles. I'm not in the market but I had to call on it anyways. They guy wants $12,000 as it is in perfect condition. He did repaint it with the factory color and he's the one driving the new yellow FJ, hence the reason he's selling it.

I think I made his day from the components on both his past and present choice of rigs.

Hang in there Corey, you'll find the one you want.

I really want to see a gray one, the black one was a bit dirty , but I didn't like it was much as I thought I would.
