What's the deal with Toyota order process.

[Cohnhead'73]

Since Ford is no longer making cars here in in the USA I'm being forced to shop other car makers. I am contemplating replacing my 2012 Taurus.
I am looking for a V6, FWD, no turbo sedan. That has led me to the dark side: Toyota. Yikes. I've never owned a "foreign" vehicle.
I have found a candidate in the 2023 Camry XLE V6 that offers what I am looking for. The problem is the lack of dealer stock. I went to the Toyota build and price site and built the Camry I'm interested in, a bone stock XLE V6 model with no options or premium packages.
I called several dealers and was told you can't place a factory
order, that Toyota decides what vehicles to send to each dealer.
Has anyone encountered this with Toyota? Or any other manufacturer.

I posted on the General Auto forum. I thought people on this site had purchased other brands of automobiles besides a Ford. My bad.

My experience with our local Toyota Dealers is they are all &%^$s . The attitude they give off is pretty much " so you think you want to buy a Toyota do you, well that's going to cost you". They are elitist snobs who think their $%!T doesn't stink. In my career I was a road warrior that burned through 50 thousand miles a year. I bought a lot of cars and the worst car I ever owned was a Toyota Corolla. Saturns were almost indestructible .

Toyota doesn’t take custom orders outside of fleet. Not for nothing but there isn’t a car that’s made in USA anymore. They may be assembled here but not all the parts are American. They are sourced all over the globe then brought in for assembly.

In case you were wondering any car manufacturer that isn't General Motors or Ford will not have a vehicle truly made in the United States. It's is due to the way that manufacturer gets taxes and is therefore still considered built on Foreign Soil. Just some food for thought

Some silverados and sierras are made in Mexico.

In this thread: people who have gone their whole life and never realized that Japanese cars were infinitely better quality than american made for pretty much since the Japanese discovered how to make cars.


Get ready to have your mind blown;


They also make some of the best firearm optics in the entire world and pretty much anything electronic. They also gave the world cartoons with giant fighting robots and chicks with huge breasts, often both combined.
