Toyota's marketing SUCKS!

[4runneraj]

I've been searching for a 2005 V6 4Runner - Limited w/ X-REAS for nearly 2 weeks now. Not a single one to be found in CA or AZ and only ONE coming into AZ (w/ no status on it yet).

I need my 4Runner fix NOW!


(Sorry about the rant).

Thanks

supply and demand...

perhaps Toyota can't make them fast enough???

If AZ is a no go, try CO as an alternative. When I was locating vehicles, I would try to find them in AZ but if they didn't have it, they would actually CO as they're in a different region.

Another option is having the dealer do a vehicle search of the entire country too. Most dealers won't want to bother but there's a few out there that are willing to do business so just find the right one.

I've purchased vehicles from various states and by far AZ is the easiest for purchases that come into CA. TX is pretty easy too btw but they're abit far if you know what I mean. NV is ok but their selections are not as great.

GOod luck!

You should come over to Virginia. Theres a ton of them out here. You can probably get it for much cheaper out here also. I noticed that cars are a tad more expensive out there in Sunny Socal.

Oh yes. Marketing may suck. Engineering is Great.

I would assume if they are selling them so fast that you cannot get hold of one that their marketing is pretty good - perhaps their distribution system leads a little to be desired however...

His inability to get a Limited with XREAS is not because they are selling as fast as they come onto the lot but because there are _none_ coming onto the lot.

What does availability have to do with marketing? Nothing really. Sorry you cant find what you want...but 2 weeks isnt really that long to look. You could order one and wait 4 months.
