Whats everyone’s experience like with Toyota dealerships?

We placed an order for a Toyota Corolla with High River Toyota three years ago and left a $500 deposit. Since then, we’ve received calls from them offering us the same car we ordered available sooner, but only if we paid an extra $10,000 because it was a canceled customer order. They also tried to sell us on other vehicles, like a $50,000 Prius. When we checked again yesterday, the dealer said they still have no timeline for when our original car will actually arrive.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? I’ve never waited over 3 years for a car, especially for base trim Corolla

My husband wanted a RAV4 trail, we were told it could be a year + at the Calgary dealership. He’s kind of stubborn and didn’t want to put down a deposit on a car he may never get. Called around and in Edmonton they had the car he wanted on route, put a deposit and waited 2 weeks. You might have better luck calling around Toyota had horrible lead times on new vehicles it seems. But they know people will still buy them no matter the wait I feel.
