they probably had no choice. specially if TFS not allowing direct lease buyouts.
just do a new lease instead of going thru the hoops.

TFS is allowing buyouts.

they do, I am saying but some states require it to go thru the dealer instead of just going directly thru them.
Also, I thought they stopped 3rd party buyouts starting 8/1.
Soā¦ everyone is f----ed?
No. False information. Only SETFS

i mean, reality is that a bunch of toyota stores are going to get hurt. there is only so much you can raise prices on people, and when you canāt promise them inbounds, there really is nothing to sell. fully expect a bunch of low volume dealers to cut staff, etc.

Buckle up, this isnāt ending anytime soon. At least stocks are at all time highs. Along with rents, housing prices, car prices, groceries.

So far my Tacoma is expected to arrive early-mid September as scheduled, according to my dealer. It sounds like this may change, but hoping for the best.
Actually Toyota announced that the San Antonio plant (where the Tacomas and Tundars are built) would be the ONLY place that isnāt getting production cuts. Gotta keep pumping out the cash cows.

The steep cuts in August output will impact all of Toyotaās assembly plants in the U.S., Mexico and Canada except for its San Antonio factory, which produces the Tacoma and is preparing to launch the next-generation Tundra.

You right keep the Pro for a whileā¦ not surprising San Antonio staying openā¦ Toyota knows this new Tundra will sell at MSRP and be in high demand.
Many Tacomas are built in Mexico too, so Tacoma supply will probably be affected.

I quoted the main text so you donāt have to read the whole thing. 
The main take away is that they are cutting production 40% across the board, but will spare the San Antonio plant.
While true, Iām just saying the odds of getting a Tacoma or Tundra out of Toyota in the coming months is gonna be a lot better than, say, a Mirai since they are going to keep the S.A. plant running.
