I'm pretty amazed at how hard it is to buy a 2010 Sequoia. You can't just walk in to a dealership and place an order and wait for it to be built for you. Dealerships are allocated a certain number and type and they hope you will accept what they have coming to them. They can steer some of the options their way and will see if any other dealerships have your match, and then try to get it to you.

But basically I am surprised at how the customer is not the focus in this process. I'm spending my time trying to understand each dealers inventory in my area and hope I get lucky. So far no luck.

On the other hand since this is not working ordering a Ford Expedition is easier. The dealer orders what you want and if it is not in inventory somewhere else it will be made for you in 6-8 weeks. While Sequoia is my first choice I am not feeling it is going to work out.
