I've been trying to get a hold of one for months in AZ and now as they are coming in this week the dealers are saying that Manual Premiums aren't coming until next year now. Is this true?

 

[Stephenm]

Not true. There are a few out there. I don’t know how Toyota allocates them.

I can't speak on AZ specifically, but they are definitely coming in on the east coast. I got the VIN for mine yesterday, est. delivery early FEB.

Not true, i know a dealer got two 6mt premium, but sold both to its own employees. However majority allocations were 6at, yucky.

Yeah exactly, I've been in talks with all the dealers who don't have any information for months, then within a week of getting allocations they are sold out of all their manuals. Camelback Toyota says they don't even make Premium MT, after telling me a week ago they'd have a PMT Neptune coming in.

Bell Toyota says that Manuals won't be available until 2023.

They are both lying to you. If Camelback is telling you Toyota isn’t making a PMT at all, they shouldn’t be selling cars. Call Toyota Customer Service and report them. They don’t like that kinda crap. Try looking on Cars.com. You can search up to 500 miles of your zip code. There aren’t a lot currently, but I think more will be coming as time goes on.

I don't know if those dealers are lying or not, but at they are, at least, woefully uninformed about the product they are selling.

I've got a premium 6MT coming to me from Arkansas first week of February...beyond blessed and fully understand how lucky I am.

 

[Konsentraet]

After calling every dealer I could around, it seems that most dealers will get 2 (Maybe 3) allocations a month. Most don't know what they will get until closer to their bi weekly allocation date.

Nice man! That's sooner then you think!

This isnt true, I have a premium, manual at the port right now.

 

[Roy Batty]

I have premium manual in my garage, picked it up Dec. 31st -- and I didn't have a reservation, just a car the dealer ordered for inventory.

 

[Konsentraet]

Good to know. I will wait for more allocations and keep contacting dealers. I've been waiting awhile and don't want to settle, though it'd be convenient to.

 

[DaffyDOHC]

The dealer I'm going with has 3 premium MT and 1 AT. They're all Treuno Blue though

That's sweet! congrats! I'll keep searching. Idk why it's been such a hassle

 

[Roy Batty]

Frankly its the luckiest I've ever felt. I had a BRZ on order not due to arrive until March and the GR I really wanted just fell in my lap. Definitely hold out for the one you really want, its worth the wait!

 

[Maxey]

LOL.

I think = I'm just guessing and don't know anything for a fact.

It sounds like dealers aren't given a lot to go off of. Just waiting on allocations

I think Toyota blew it by introducing so many new models at the same time, considering the chip shortage, even though they’ve said they expect to build 900,000 units this month.
