OK, so sounds like you got a limited. The HUD is not an option for the Limited, it’s exclusive to the Platinum, same for the Blue Leather, the Unique Dash and Rain Sensing wipers - hence my confusion when you said you got a Platinum with different interior and then you said a custom Limited with Platinum features and that it’s one of a kind, etc.
In the end sounds like your dealer had an allocation available that luckily had the color and features you wanted, it’s not really custom. Dealers have limited say on what they can do with the allocations, usually PIO can be tweaked but other than that, they take what Toyota puts on the boat from Japan.
As for the $5000 - I don’t live in Wisconsin nor does that really even matter to the conversation at hand - nor does the statement “$5000 isn’t the same for me as it is for you” which comes across pretty condescending and weird. The point is most dealerships take $500 or $1000 for deposits to reserve an allocation or put you on the wait list… the $5000 is just an odd number for a dealer to request for a deposit is what’s wild. Being in a High cost of living area is completely irrelevant to that.
Here is the picture of the Platinum interior - The glovebox is blue and there is this fake black/metallic wood grain across the dash:
