Dealer size = quicker order? FJ Cruiser

[granger]

Hello all,
Does anyone know if the size of the dealer or if the dealer has a President's award, or President's Cabinet award dictates how quickly orders are filled or how soon after launch they receive one?

I am planning on buying an FJ and there is a dealer about 40 miles away that is a 2004 Presidents Cabinet award winner.

Do you think they would get me the FJ before my local dealer?

No one has any thoughts on this?

I believe that the number of new vehicles a dealer receives per month is based on previous sales history. The more they sell, the more they get. So, they wouldn't get a particular vehicle any faster than any other dealer, but they're likely to get general deliveries more often.

The other dealer might get a non-specific FJ sooner, but if you're after a particular color or option package, the other dealer wouldn't have any extra influence with Toyota to get it faster.
