Considering to buy a 2011 Ralliart

I just spoke with a dealer about ordering a 2011 RA SB with the touring option as nobody has them in stock. He said another option is to purchase the base model in stock and add factory approved leather for 1k and a sunroof for about the same.
The leather is apparently better than what comes in the touring package but i'm worried about leakage in an aftermarket sunroof. I'm going down there to talk about price tomorrow as he can get the car ordered that day for a delivery date of july.
What do you guys think of the 2 options?

if your dealership doesn't have one with touring in stock, tell them to dealer-trade for one. any competent management staff is able to dealer-trade cars when they have a serious buyer
and you would be losing out on the projector HIDs, heated seats, rockford fosgate, auto rain sensing wipers, 6cd changer. Touring package has tons of value in it, just costs a lot. No way aftermarket leather/sunroof alternatives are worth the cost compared to factory

I had the same probs with my local dealership when RA hunting. Good thing for the one in Louisiana going out the way getting my car to me from Arkansas.
Go hop on Cars.com and you will see there are 88 RA's in the US for sale, a lot @ dealerships.
Once again as already stated, your dealership is lazy and sounds like they would rather clear their lot than sell you the car you want. My suggestion is to tell that dealer to "go f$@! themselves" and find a dealer that appreciates your business.
Just my honest $.02

If you search again and type " touring" in that same list it will narrow it down to 1 or 2 cars.. on the east coast.
these cars are 49 state legal not california legal (i wish i was makeing this stuff up).. sucks to live in California sometimes.
Here is a quote from the california dmv site:
Aren't all Vehicles California Certified?
Not all new vehicles are manufactured to be sold in California residents or businesses. Many manufacturers make vehicles to be sold in the other 49 states. These vehicles (49-State) are made with smog equipment that meets federal emission standards, but not California standards. California certified (50-State) vehicles are made to be sold to California residents.
btw ..sorry for highjacking the thread

The dealer seemed to be honest, just telling me my options, he was open to ordering it and pulling any vehicle in california if it existed.

there should at least be one in the whole state that's incoming though. Even check Pre-Ship status. In the whole state of TX, I think there's still 12 Touring RA's out here. Hard to believe not even 1 in Cali - car market is huge over there
if you really really can't find one though, I wouldn't get the aftermarket leather+sunroof. Just costs too much for so little, and you'll always question the quality against OEM, and hate yourself for paying half the package price for two options
