How To Custom Order Your New Toyota
If you are interested in reserving the first of a new Toyota model when it arrives to the dealership, if you want a different vehicle than what we have in our inventory, or if you can’t seem to locate the exact vehicle in our region, custom ordering a new vehicle might be the way to go!
When purchasing a new vehicle, there are four main options for obtaining the vehicle you are interested in.
- The first option is taking a vehicle that is already in stock and ready to go!
- The second option is a dealer swap, or dealer trade. For a dealer swap, we select the vehicle you are interested in from another dealer’s inventory, they will then choose a vehicle from our inventory, and we will arrange to go pick it up from their location.
- The third option is to choose from our list of in-transit or incoming vehicles. These vehicles are headed to LUV Toyota of Bradford but could be a few days to over a month away. Your salesperson can assist you in going through the lists of possible other options that best match what you are looking for!
- The fourth option is to do a factory order, which allows you to custom build your dream car or truck!
Option 1

Option 2
Dealer Swap
We will facilitate a dealer trade with another dealership within our network.

Option 3
In-Transit Vehicles
A vehicle that is scheduled to arrive but has not landed yet. This can range from a day to a month.

Option 4
