I am trying to buy a 2011 avalon with fleet option FA. The dealers
never heard of it. I emailed Toyota expecting a quick response
because they are eager to sell cars. It takes weeks to respond to
email? Here is the stock response:

What is fleet option FA? Is it fabric seats?

I perspire with leather or vinyl seats and have enough skin cancer
that I don't need a sunroof.

Toyota used to not sell fleet designated vehicles to retail customers; I do
not know if this is still the case or not. My recommendation would be to
speak with the fleet manager at a dealership that sells to fleets.

I will try. It is a shame that Toyota makes a car that I want and
won't sell it to me and that it takes weeks to respond to a simple
email. Maybe they don't really want to sell cars.
