Called up Richmond, Toyota tonight and asked if they really had nine FJs in inventory and the salesman (who goes by the nickname Sarge) said they only had eight left as they just sold a Voodoo blue.
Keep in mind, I am an hour away but I drove up there to check 'em all out . . . of course, he was full of SH*T ! They had one Sun Fusion in the showroom and that was it. Sarge wasn't there when I arrived so I couldn't take out my frustrations on the other salesperson who, by the way, was very helpful and willing to deal in order to meet there quota.
It turns out the company that owns this dealership also owns others and they claim to have those FJs in their hands and available to sell but they are in other locations.
The sun fusion I looked at was $28,600 sticker plus some crappy $700 accessory package, and additional dealer markup of $1050. In order to meet the sales quota he was willing to go $28,000 . . . and I bet a guy could get some add-ons thrown in at dealer cost without much fuss.
I wasn't willing to pull the trigger as I explained to the salesperson that I was told they had eight in stock and I expected to see a row of them that I could compare and drool over. . .
