i went in today to several dealerships with my vpp, and no one seems to be able to find a 2010 base+sport (solid red) for me. =( im in dfw area and the only one they found was in mississippi.

they also said if i were to order one, it could take up to 3 months, now if i sign a deal with them using vpp now to get the car ordered, would it void itself out if the car really takes 3 months to get in and not before march 31st?? or am i not allowed to sign a deal using vpp until the car arrives?

it seems like im the only one with this issue.

they also found me a 2009 solid red base+sport that is slightly used, 400 miles, they were willing to sell it for 29,500. i thought that price was ridiculous.

MSRP for a 2010 Base 6MT with Sport is $33k and Invoice is $31k. If $29,500 was ridiculous what price did you have in mind? I'd bet that car has a few other options too so I'm thinking you'd be saving at least $2k on a new one and the '09 isn't even past the breakin point yet.

Wonder how far away these dealers do searches for? There's a Red 6MT with Sport near me in Clearwater, FL. Given they want to charge everyone $720 for destination they should be willing to go and get you that car no matter how far away it is. Really strange.

I'm assuming the VPP number can only be used when the car actually arrives and will probably be void past march 31st. I'd rather not take a chance and will most likely have to settle on something if my dealer can't get the car I'm looking for.

Why can't they get you the car from Mississippi? my dealer in houston said he's looking as far as kansas city, MO. I'm going to ask him about that car in miami that LinPark found. I kind of doubt he'll go through the trouble of getting it from that far but we'll see.

My fall back car will probably be either a Mont. Blue one fully loaded or 40th Anniv. Unless a new shipment magically appears in the next 3 weeks with the car I want... which could be possible as I'm not sure the accuracy of the inventory system.

Unfortunately, yes...they do expire on the 31st.

I was operating under the belief that the numbers would be "good" for the usual 90 days from date of issue but that is NOT the case.

I know that is going to throw a wrench into the plans of some of you who have already contacted me an planning on getting a number before the promotion ended but using in April or May or June but I'm afraid the promotion isn't structured that way.

Again, I'm very sorry for the misinformation.

Thanks again Robert!! Worked like a charm yesterday when I went into the dealer to take delivery. I gave them the VPP papers and no problem at all! They also had a 1k rebate if you owned a registered Toyota in the household. Cost of my car was 30,126 (base + sport, 6spd). Minus 1k for the Toyota rebate so before anything other fees the car was 29,126 + doc + reg + tax. 32.8k out the door w/ 3M clear bra! I am VERY HAPPY!!! can't wait to go to some meets this summer in the Jersey area!

If you don't mind, what dealership did you go to and what are the details about the toyota rebate? I wonder if my Scion would make me eligible for this as well?

Hi - I went to Hackensack Nissan in NJ. I'm not sure how long that Toyota rebate is good for though it might have been only through the end of Feb. I'm not sure if the Scion's count.

I believe that Scion nor Lexus counts, only Toyotas

Oh well, it was worth a shot. In any case, I may check that dealership out, especially since I live right near Hackensack.
