He called me on that one, I'd told him I knew someone in my hometown who was interested in buying a TCH. Being a small dealership, they told me that they only get one after they sell the one they have. Only drawback,,, they don't have a choice on what they get, options, color, etc.

Jer.... It looks like Toyota on Western in Chicago may have one available. They don't usually post their inventory on pre-sold. Not sure on the color. This one has moonroofbut no leather or Nav. They sell for MSRP with no games. If interested, call tomorrow and ask for Robert McMurtry. He is their internet sales manager. If you fly in to Midway he will pick you up at the airport. I bought mine their and drove it back to Florida.
You might also try Priority Toyota in Chesapeake Virginia. 757-366-5000. Ask for Bob Fogarty. He is definately somebody you can trust and he drives a Prius. Very knowledgable.

Thanks for the heads up but I'll be selling the Audi A6 which was a $60,000+ car when it was new in 2000 (I bought it almost two years ago for nowhere near that) so it has TONS of creature comforts that both my wife and myself have become accustomed to. The TCH already is giving up some of those even when loaded so anything less than that would be too much of a step back for us to really want to do it. Sorry for the extended reply but this way you'll understand why I'm searching for a TCH w/every available option (save for that shift **** that looks silly IMO) and if I can't find it then I'll just keep the Audi until I can get what I'm looking for because the reality is that this Audi is truly a great car and we love it to death. Just looking for something that gets better fuel economy for our commuter/road trip vehicle plus the Nav/bluetooth and remote sensing system would be a nice addition. It would also be nice to make the garage an all-Toyota affair.

Jer,
Sorry I beat you to the deal.........I have been following this thread a lot and calling around too.... From what I have seen already - It's all about being at the right place at the right time.....
If your interested - I was working with Tami Myers at Auto Ave's in Lakewood and she was working kind of like a broker for me and put in a request on the Fleet side with CamelBack in Arizona.... She was saying 2-3 months instead of the dealerships standard 5+ months wait time.... Her number is 303-231-2667.... Maybe you take my place on her list as she called it in about 2 weeks ago.....

I can get one from my local stealership in about two months but was trying to beat the Sept 30th deadline. If this doesn't pan out it will probably be quite some time before I buy one since there's no longer a rush for any reason.

fitzmall.com -- ask for Hank -- you'll have one is service prior to 9/30 for the tax crwedit.
P.S. -- I got mine in one day -- over the internet click -- 'loaded' at $699.00 off MSRP
Can be done if you do your homework.
