GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

--Rage-- said:
Got a surprise phone call from my GR centre today.

T: “We’re calling you to let you know that your GR86 has arrived earlier than expected”
Me: ‘What??? Really? I wasn’t expecting it until much later, OMG, I’m so happy, I don’t have a car right now so this is amazing news. Are you sure?’
T: “That’s great, no need to worry I’m looking at it right now, in its vibrant red”
- - Silence - -
Me: ‘I ordered electric blue’
T: “I’m so so sorry we must have got the order details mixed up”

Someone go pick up your red GR86 from Gatwick 😐😐😐

That's almost trolling at this point.
 
What will be galling is when flippers will have sold and cars will have second owners before some of us still haven't had our cars that have been built and sitting there for months. This is painful to wait, especially when it's close but could be miles away.

Pretty speechless that a dealer can get this sooo wrong..
 
After being told my car would be at the dealer in 'a couple of weeks' at the beginning of the month I wasn't holding out much hope after reading of other's experiences. Yesterday morning the MyT app said it had arrived at the dealer. I held off calling the dealer (Carlisle) until this morning and was told the car had been checked and was ok. I did the bank transfer after lunch then got a call from the dealer and decided on Monday lunchtime for hand over. They are handing over another GR86 earlier in the morning. Late afternoon I got a call from Toyota Online to confirm they had the payment and they knew about the handover date. So from nothing happening for months (car arrived in Derby 1st August), the end is finally in sight.

Goodness me that's rather poor.

On a scale of one to ten, how tempted were you to play dumb and take the red car just to get it sooner?! (Extremely unethical but I'd probably put myself as a five, learning to love the red...) ;)
 
Mine has arrived at the dealer. Lovely chap sent me a few shots whilst I’m away.

Rest assured you will be the first owner of yours and certainly not paying flipper prices!

Is it staying or going up for sale 🤔

It’ll be going and I’ll be keeping the Supra.

I’ve reached out to a few dealers this morning to see what they would offer.

Although my journey is as well documented as any other on the forum now it’s here I’m abit hesitant to post it on the marketplace. I’d like to stick around because of the Supra and seeing what people do with the 86s they are keeping.

But at the same time. I don’t want any animosity towards me because I’m choosing to move it on above RRP.

I might sell it to a dealer just to make them more of a bad guy than me. 😂

You didn't order it with the intention of selling it, I think that's the key part, I wouldn't sell mine for RRP 😂
 
@LU71KEE - There are many on this forum I'm sure that find that their personal circumstances have changed in the last few months... and on top of that, almost all are now feeling the effects of high inflation, high fuel bills, the Cost of Living Crisis, mortgage rates etc. My point is, you need to do what's best for you and your family.

As an additional aside, the flipper's profit is dictated by what people are willing to pay for what is a luxury - not a necessity - nobody is forcing people to part with their money. And a strong 2nd hand market is all to the benefit of those keeping their cars for the long haul.

@LU71KEE , we definitely hope you stick around , and as you say circumstances change , end of the day it’s worth whatever someone is willing to Pay. Good luck with the sale and definitely no animosity from myself and I very much doubt any of The Band of Brothers in Zoo Company will have any either 👍😎
 
Noticed the site has moved it back to Portbury. Wasn't this a sign it's moving to dealer? App still says Derby but then that tends to only update at about 11pm

I don't think anyone will begrudge you selling the car. Everyone's circumstances are different and the world is a very different place to the one where we all placed orders back in April.

Obviously the market will dictate the price, so good luck. (y)
 
Im fully paid up. I was told the 2nd, then the 13th, and now the 19th. Not much faith in when it will arrive at all.

*edit, let me rephrase, I was told naff all and had to call them to find out what was going on each time.
