GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

It's almost as hard to get an i20N as it is a GR86. Became a bit of a saga with the dealer I tested the i30N with. I'd initially gone in asking about the i20N but the salesman who took my details mid week seemed a bit off, as if he assumed I couldn't buy one. I turned up on the Triple which new was half the cost of an i20N. Asked about test drive and they didn't have one but could bring one down from a dealer not far away. Then they didn't know when and it was phone calls back and forth and in the end I felt messed about so never happened. Suspect a salesman was using it as his personal car. Then a few weeks later I happened to be driving passed and recognised one of the salesman. Years previous he'd been at Skoda and helped me buy my Mk2 Fabia vRS. Went in, had a catchup and took the i30N out which I really did like. If it wasn't for really wanting RWD again and the Type-R existing used I'd have probably gone for one.
 
I was told i20N is a 12-14 month wait, a cancelled order was advertised on one of the members groups and it was allocated within minutes! Great little cars.

I actually saw one on the motorway in performance blue during my test drive!
 
I saw something the other day I didn't know existed - must have passed me by. The I20n. Looked nice. Deep red colour. Quite an old school hot hatch air about it.
I saw one at the Goodwood hotel the other week. Really lovely colour…

Excuse the BMW in the shot 😊

I’ll be coming out of an i30N into the GR86. You won’t be disappointed 👌🏻
I had a pre facelift and have missed it massively, the facelift seems to have much stronger performance even stock. Complete left turn compared to the GR but my plan is to get a cheaper RWD sportscar next summer.
 
The one I was going to be getting has gone on the boat today so someone should get moved up the queue for a leccy blue manual. 👍🏻
I wonder if somebody were to change their order if they would be allocated that car. So if I went from red to blue, I could get a car ahead of time, or they would allocate it to somebody on the waiting list?

Has to be worth a call to the buy online team? I’ll be ringing them at 10am when the line opens.
 
Mine just went back 6 weeks according to the devtools tracker. Delivery to final destination was 4-Oct, now 16-Nov. That seems late considering it is due to dock in the UK next week (in theory). Anyone else seen a delay added?
E_Blue, manual, 10.04 order.

Previously someone was bumped up in the queue, but who knows this is Toyota lol

All of us I think my good man.

Yup...have a read back a couple of pages, I found out the same on Friday.

My car is also on the boat and I'm expecting it to dock this week. I'm on a much needed holiday next week, and as I've ben counting down the days, I knew that after that, I'd only have 4 weeks or so to go before getting my new car. I was getting excited about very nearly being in the final furlong. Finding out the ETA has been pushed back a month, seemingly arbitrarily, put me in a foul mood all weekend, to be honest.

Got the awful feeling that we'll hear nothing and then at the beginning of October, it will go back another month.
