I assume you are requesting transfer back until car has arrived or are you cancelling altogether?

All except the £1k and I'll not pay anything else until the car is at the dealer. Not cancelling as that would make the last six months of pain worthless.

You'd think they'd ensure cars in the UK the longest would be delivered first but this is Toyota GB who have no concept of customer service.

Will be interested to see how that request goes, I'm in a similar situation with full payment made based on a promised delivery date and now no ETA whatsoever :mad::mad:

When did yours arrive on a ship out of interest? My order was 1 minute after yours and I've been told January now too.
Not fantastic since the latest my current lease car can go back is tomorrow but c'est la vie.

mackie your car was on the Pearl with my GRY seems crazy my car arrived at the dealer this morning but the GR86's seem to be taking so long to arrive at dealers!
 
^^ Toyota GB in inconsistent procedures shock :ROFLMAO:

It's like that episode of Father Ted where you have to believe the opposite of what they tell you.

That would be the sensible thing to do but as before it seems to be a lucky dip! I bet the people doing the Derby PDI's go in in the morning and get their job sheets from a google number generator.

Interesting to see how your call goes, I'm leaving it till tomorrow then going to phone again and be a bit more grumpy. We were told August deliveries, monthly updates, Pre Christmas deliveries. Ive had zero of these, nd no explanation as to why they havn't happened.

I was patient until the first deliveries started and when someone West of me got it but I didn't so I phoned, then phoned every week for updates. Felt bad for doing it but seems in every part of my life I'm having to chase to get answers to things. Perhaps it's what got mine quicker. Wheelbarrows don't work unless you push them.

I bit the bullet and chased. Car is going through PDI at the moment, started work on it yesterday so should update shortly and be sent to dealer for mid next week. Unlikley for an Xmas delivery but at least I know things are moving.

Well I say this and have come off the call feeling positive, no doubt it will be short lived and I will need to chase further next week when I receive no update.
 
Mad isnt it how its so different for all of us - I've paid no other paper work our outbound contact from TOL but now I'm picking up tomorrow!!! Now to not bin it on the first roundabout....

Well for me 10:12 order, June it arrived in Bristol, July Derby and being there ever since - delivery Jan tbc. :(
 
TOL just called. They are sending across payment info and have asked if I want the car washed/plates stuck on etc.

Asked for rear plate to be stuck so that I can possible hide the dimples at a later date if needed.

Looks like things are progressing, just wish it was off their own back not after pushing for info
 
TOL has never called me. I feel some amount of chasing is essential. The dealer is not informed by TOL and we are supposed to be the bridge between them. Also as rule of thumb sending an email to TOL is useless. I still send them an email for my requests to have it recorded somewhere but also call them to actually get my requests actioned. My car is coming to my garage soon and hoping for early January delivery. It seems registration only takes 5 minutes. I will have to call TOL in the morning to register the car and pick up in the afternoon. Fingers crossed.

I requested to make the payment myself when speaking to TGB last week as I was worried about any delays to the registration/handover, but luckily a confirmation came in on the same day that the car arrived at the dealer, a very welcome coincidence.

I collected the car earlier today, it's every bit as good as I expected and will post some pictures and first impressions when I find the time later. The handover experience was really good overall, and whilst I didn't receive an Issho toy or the bamboo key box, they gave me a travel mug and a full tank of fuel, so I won't be complaining!

I feel for those of you who are still in the dark and waiting for their car to turn up. Console yourself with the thought that most of us won't be able to get through the breaking in period before you get yours if this weather continous, and at least you'll have it registered in 2023 if it matters for you to have a "newer" car.

Hopefully all will be delivered soon and the communication improves. At least it looks like cars past 10:30-10:40 orders are going into build now, so I'd expect batches to be delivered over the coming weeks/months!

Electric blue MT delivered 15/12/2022 just a day after the last dev tools date I saw!

most apathetic handover experience I've ever had.. Couldn't answer any questions about service intervals, run in etc

Added to the OP (along with mine).

I haven't really asked any questions about those, but have enquired about the service plan costs as it would be good to understand if there's any savings from that at all.
