GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

I wonder if GR Yaris and GR Supra owners have also had issues getting insurance ? - if so, it could be quite interesting/helpful to know who they eventually got cover from.

Toyota do give you 7 days cover to at least get it home. Hopefully by then the big names will have it on the books. It was a problem a friend had when he got his Dacia Duster when they first came out. His insurer at the time (Churchill) couldn't insure it as they didn't have it so he had to insure with whoever Dacia use which did sting him. This year he switched to Admiral who had it by then. I'm with them and only pay £194 on the vRS.

Admiral tend to have a broad database - they've had my various Alpinas listed each time. My guess the the best indicator that customer deliveries are imminent is went the GR86 begins to appear on the majority of the insurance websites.
 
Have you tried contacting Toyota Online yet @churchie? to settle the payment? I guess that will confirm whether the car will be available.

Edit; just remembered it's the weekend so you won't have been able to contact them yet.

I think the Toyota drive away insurance is only 3 days.

Nah f**k that.

If you remember my proposal above, please find my revised proposal, Version two point zero if you will.
  1. Toyota says "sorry" for all the non- and mis-communication to all prospective GR86 buyers.
  2. Toyota, as recompense, provides a £500 voucher a year's free insurance for all buyers
  3. Toyota people read this suggestion on here, implement it, and think "that Silver Fox knows what he's talking about" before furnishing me with a handsome consultancy fee.
  4. GR-Zoo people - yes you good folk - take advantage of this offer and enjoy a year of trouble- and worry-free motoring!
  5. GR-Zoo people - yes you again - are overcome with gratitude and all of you buy me some craft beer Suntory Japanese whisky.
*Nods head appreciatively at applause; accepts high-fives from fellow GR-Zoo-ers*

No issues for me on my Supra. With Aviva for my celica and switched it to the Supra. Only cost me an extra £50 a year. Considering I had the celica insured for £2500 and the Supra is £50,000 i thought that was pretty good.

Not sure I’ll ever understand insurance though 🤷🏻‍♂️

When the first GR Yaris cars landed with customers back in Nov/Dec 20 most insurers didn't list it.

A couple of companies I spoke with at the time quoted on cars with similar insurance groups (Audi TT RS from memory).

A couple of weeks later the bigger players Aviva and Direct Line started quoting and then the smaller players followed when databases were updated.

Mine is showing sitting in Derby and was ordered at 10:07. Missed a call from my nominated dealer, Steven Eagell Colchester, earlier in the week. Called them beack this morining and was told than my car would be ready for me to collect from them on 11th October. Told to concact Toyota Buy Online to sign finance documentation ahead of collection and mine is the first of the GR86 they are handling, and is the only one showing this "status" on their dealer system.

Can it really be true that I'm less than a fortnight away from getting my car?

Did the dealer offer you any extras by any chance?

Someone mentioned on here that the spoiler will be available as a dealer fitted extra.

When the cars landed in October/November they didn’t list it. By the time deliveries started at end of November beginning of December they were all being listed on comparison sites and I had no issues.
 
Thinking of phoning my dealer in a few days if there's no movement. More out of curiosity as to what they know. Apart from me phoning them, they've never phoned me.
