IF as you say you wannasave$$$'s then it should be a simple logical (unemotional) decision and patience should not be a problem. The base model is all you need.

I would think an area like Eastern PA would have an abundance of Toyota dealerships within driving range and you should be able to locate one fairly easily. I'm not sure why you would have to wait on a loaded one or be able to pick out a base one right now. I've not heard of any restrictions in our area. My dealer got a loaded one (mine) but the dealer 20 miles away got one of each. Both should be available if you are not picky about the color. Then again, August is not all that far away and unless you're already on a list you may well have to wait if you're dealing with a dealer that may only get 1 or 2 per month. My dealer got theirs may5 and have not gotten another one.
