Hello everyone,

I've been checking in for some time and finally decided to join. People seem to be very nice and friendly (most of the time) and respectful (always!!) I've seen some great advices and links that helped me a lot.

Currently I'm not on any dealer list yet...I'll do it soon. I started to look around for a new car late last year but, fortunately, I have a great relationship with my 97 Civic for 162,000 miles now and can wait for a long time (of course I told Civic before I started looking...she understands). :wink:

So far I like #7 Tideland Pearl. I wonder:
1) How many percentage of people on this list have/want Tideland Pearl?
2) If the color is not as popular as, say, Millenium Silver, will I have better chance because not mant people want it or worse chance because Toyota would produce less of the color?

micemommy,
Welcome! In response to your questions: 1) My car is silver; 2) As I understand it, color and option packages are allocated to geographic regions in pre-determined numbers (presumably based on data from previous Toyota sales). A helpful dealer should be willing and able to advise you as to whether a #7 Tideland Pearl is likely to be coming your way or not.
Drive happy,
Moo

Hello Micemommy
I ordered a silver number 7 the middle of November and was told that I would have a 90 to 120 day wait for delivery.The following week my dealer called and said that he had a tideland pearl available I really didn't want a green car after looking at the colors on Toyotas web site but because I wanted the 2000 dollar tax deduction I said ok. One week later I took delivery and was pleasantly surprised by the color. I LOVE IT.It is more gray than green and It really stands out in a crowd.

Thanks moocatdog & tmcbride,

The tideland pearl color on Toyota website looks much darker than real... I didn't even consider it until I saw one on the road *wow* :shock:

Much luck to me and everyone who's waiting.
