None of the near-by dealers were willing to promise to deliver. He went to Milburn Toyota, who said "no sweat" and took his deposit. Over the next several MONTHS they kept calling him and asking him to take whatever had come in on the truck that week. Finally he got his money back and went to a local dealer who at least was willing to level with him about his chances of ever getting the color he wanted.
