Jeff,
If you are still looking, you might want to call around. I got a couple of phone calls yesterday from dealers selling at MSRP (didn't check into this since I had already purchased one). One of the dealers was Wondries Toyota......they had a desert tan car. The other was Claremont Toyota that had a blue ribbon car coming in. I believe both were "fully loaded" as that was what I was looking for. Again, since I had already purchased a car, I did not pay as much attention as I should have to all the facts for these.

Hamer Toyota offered us a barcelona red car last weekend -- but gave us a terrible price for our trade in. Since red wasn't our first choice color and we were starting to get several calls from dealers in the area, we just walked away from that deal.

Did not have a good experience with North Hollywood Toyota.....but did have a favorable experience at Hollywood Toyota. However, Hollywood Toyota requires a $2000 deposit -- although their "list" seems shorter if you decide to get on it. As reported, Longo required $500. Rancho Santa Margarita Toyota had a long list and was $500 to get on it. I believe they told me it would take up to 3 months?

Simi Valley Toyota and Sierra Toyota in Lancaster did not seem to have lists and at least did not ask me for a deposit. No guarantees when a car would come in -- but both were willing to sell it for MSRP and seemed easy to deal with.

Valencia Frontier Toyota seemed to be adding lojack for $695 to each vehicle and did not seem to have a list. It seemed like you had to be lucky to actually get a call when the vehicle arrived.

I'll try to update this post if I get any more calls from LA area dealers that actually have a car in stock. I think I went overboard and contacted too many people in my quest to find this vehicle -- now, I'll be answering phone calls for months.

Good luck.
