Way to locate specific FJ

I've contacted about 10 different dealerships looking for the setup I want. No one has it but all have found one specific FJ not on their lot that they want to charge to bring to their dealership to sell me. I'm not happy about the extra money or miles or the thought of some sweaty driver stinking up my FJ so was wondering if anyone knows how to locate an FJ using just the VIN or with the system the dealerships use. Thanks for any help

Re: Way to locate specific FJ

The dealerships uses a proprietary server and a dedicated dealer website called Dealer Daily. As far as I know it can only be accessed from the dealership itself.

It has the ability to locate a specific model vehicle in the dealer defined search area. It can do a search based on only the VIN and pull up the details for that particular vehicle using the VIN inquiry feature.

It's not uncommon to have a dealer charge more to bring the vehicle to the dealership to deliver to you. They have to pay a driver to do the swap.
