I dont understand your issue at all? It's a brand new car, not one that has been driven. This sounds ridiculous (that's to you, not Toyota). Be grateful that your car is here.




Later - your next post you even threaten to cancel your car...

I mean, there's no cure for stupid. Cancel it.

lol

Pray you dont have the problems I am having

Cars here since 2nd Jan. I want the car. Having trouble PX'ing as thats the next step for me but no one has been much help. Literally at the mercy of Toyota Online and the dealership currently

Best buying experience. Ever. I'd cancel too if I didn't want it so bad, I think Toyota know this and have taken liberties (not given two fecks)

Are you working for Toyota ?
Toyota tried to sell me a pre-registered RG86- which as turned down by another customer for what ever reason.
If I accept it I will be stupid

Congrats - Toyota have a tendency to shift potential delivery dates. I remember my GRY order was brought forward 6 months unexpectedly due to a cancelled order - certainly nice to be getting it early, but created added stress of selling the current car before I wanted to!


Is the FL5 no longer on the cards for you?

As soon as the price was announced for the FL5 I got my pre-deposit back. So we will be keeping the FK8 & looking forward to the 86.
 
I wonder if they've suddenly found a new batch of cars somewhere! Looking at the run rate, it certainly does seem they will end up delivering a good chunk of cars before the summer. Surely, another allocation from Toyota UK must be on the way...?
 
There's been a few people on here cancelling , one fairly recently as the test drive in the dealers demo showed he unfortunately wouldn't be comfortable in it. I suspect you could have been offered one these cancelled orders. Personally I'd be chewing off body parts to get my hands on it!!
 
How to pi55 me off.

See posts after my 10:42 order time saying they have progress, when I’ve had SFA 🙃

Are you sure your car is registered already?

Your car won’t be registered until you signed any documents and confirmed the handover date. That’s what Toyota told me.

Hope this help and you won’t miss the chance for owning this beautiful beast.😜

I would confirm if I would be the first or the second owner.

If you're still the first owner it wasn't pre-registered and that's good news as it means your car is here early!

Just had a call from Toyota online. My car which was due in July due to me changing the Colour is now due February.
My T has gone from Processing order to in -transit Derby ! maybe a cancelled order?
I have told them I don't want it before 1st March, they are ok with that.
Need to think about selling the MX5 now!

I too have had a notification my electric blue (ordered 10.54) is on its way to my assigned dealer yet TOL told me in July it was scheduled to arrive early 2024! Bought an MX5 as an interim car and today my assigned Toyota dealer called to say they're just waiting to register GR86. No idea on process timeliness before it's ready for collection though I hope another MX5 will also soon be for sale 😀 Ps have to say the MX5 has impressed me, not particularly fast but great drivers car 👍
 
Hello, today I have completed purchasing process with Toyota.
My vehicle is now fully taxed, registered and cleared for dealer to fit ducktail.
Handover on Saturday.
So excited to take delivery of my Toyota GR86.
For reference 10:24 order MT in pearl white.
@jnx1 as others have posted, car will not be registered before car has been paid for and insurance arranged.
If it was you will be a 2nd owner.
 
I’m wondering if changing colour did actually put me to the back of the queue, or maybe it only did if it was a certain colour? I’m sure I’ve seen other customers with their cars in the U.K. even with a colour change?

I was a 10:38 order so would be expecting movement around now if I didn’t change.

Hi Guys,
I have been reading posts since las Apr when I made my order.
I had some very strange calls from Toyota online recently.
Last week a guy called me and told me my order's ETA is June this year.
And today same guy called me again and told me my order is ready for collection "next week".
This sounds very very strange. I checked my toyota online portal, my order was in processing status.
I checked it after I received the call it is now in transit status.

I understand usually status should be processing>in production>left factory etc.
So I told Toyota online I want my GR-86, not a car tried and cancelled by others.
And suggestions ?

Thanks in advance
JK

I'm not sure what you are getting upset about, yes it's probably a cancelled order but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, my order suddenly jumped from in processing to in transit to Derbyshire within 24 hours so I've little doubt mine is a cancelled order as I wasn't expecting to see the car until the Spring, but it's now safely tucked away in the garage until I get it ceramic coated next month & it seems absolutely fine I'm just happy to have the car & looking forward to the end of winter!

Thanks, I feel Toyota does not respect their customers. For sure then tried to sell a pre registered GR86 to me. Then even threatened me by saying "we may put you to the back of que if you do not take this car". I am sure surprised by this selfish attitude!! Now I am thinking I may cancel my order. It is a shame to Toyota.

Ive tracked mine since when it left the factory in June, I spoke to ToL and they were able to give me the reg number and VIN back in November but I didnt get the car until 16/1. The V5 has that reg number but registration date is 16/1. I think they pre allocate reg numbers to the cars but they dont actually register with the DVLA until the day of payment/collection. The reg number is nothing more than a piece of plastic until the DVLA have issued the V5. if the V5 says youre the first owner then its brand new.
Rather than cancel, buy it, sell it, make 5k if you're really not wanting the car.
 
The reg numbers are assigned to cars from the available pool by Toyota. That reg number is not registered however until the day of handover. My car had a plate on it when it arrived at the dealer. I requested a private plate, which was then put on the car instead, and the car has been registered now with the private plate for the first time. The plate put on earlier by the dealer will now go back to their pool, and will be assigned to another car, as my car was never registered with that plate.
As @SJR202 mentioned above, buy/sell, or cancel, but this is how it works. Only other thing to check for addedd peace of mind is the mileage on the car. Thats what I'd be more worried about - in case some petrol head salesman at the dealership decided to take it for a spin, given their rarity, and thrashed it on nearby roads without proper engine run-in.

That's what happened to the GRY I was buying new in June 2021. I refused to take it, it was registered, I got the V5 a week later, but that reg was revoked. Presumably it was sold as second owner but I have my doubts as that would have been the same registration number.
