    If anyone here is looking to sell their recently, or soon to be delivered, manual GR86 please do message me! I have a few buyers interested at over RRP :)

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Private buyer and was someone I know - the car was never advertised on the open market.

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Collected and sold mine today for a moderate margin over RRP. Sad I couldn't keep but can't have everything. Been a pleasure being part of this community and hope everyone collecting their cars has a great time with them :)

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    I assume colour and allocation of trucks to dealerships play a big part - I doubt anyone else with a similar order time is less than a week or two away from their car!

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    I was a 10:04 order or something around then, so fairly early. Gutted to be selling but have poured money into my E46 M3 recently and have come to the conclusion that I don't want to sell it and I can't justify having a fifth car. Mine will be the guinea pig for resale values I guess! Very aware...

    GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

    Mine has arrived at my dealer as of yesterday, and should be ready for collection by Saturday. Am told by TUK it's the first one to be delivered in the country! Unfortunately my 'temporary' fun car has now become my permanent fun car and I'll now be looking to sell the 86 lol...

    GR86 Some Perspective...

    Appreciate and agree with the frustrations and criticisms levelled here - it's clear to me that there are far too many corporate layers involved at Toyota UK and nobody seems to tell each other anything or have up to date info. Just wanted to remind everyone that despite all of that, there's...

    GR86 Some Perspective...

    Hello everyone - the mood here has changed significantly after the recent announcements. I can understand that given for early orders, the delivery time has basically doubled and subsequently screwed up people's schedules when it comes to selling cars, leases ending etc. Toyota haven't given us...

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Regardless what you think of 'Eurocrats' it will depend on our own Department for Transportation and a certain Mr Reese-Mogg to adopt and align with EU regs on this matter - so if the worst does turn out to be the case, they are the ones to point the finger at. So far though nothing has been...

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Didn't even think about that! Hope this isn't the case - the date for ISA being implemented is July 6th 2022 for newly launched models. GR86s have been in the country for a few weeks now - my assumption is that if they registered the first one here before that date then we should be okay as...

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    Second call today (10:05 order) - says mine will be one of the first but likely due in Sept / Oct now instead of July / Aug. Said the only info they've had is some sort of European regulatory change - don't know how much credence to give to that but also don't really care to be fair. Buy Online...

    GR86 GR86 Confessions

    The black wheels and black highlights (roof panel, mirrors, etc) are annoying. All of the colours were just a shade off what I like, so that plus the above means I went for black, which should look good once I get some wheels and coils. The busyness of the back end annoys me, and as much as I'm...

    GR86 Engine Failure

    I think some context and reality would be helpful here - we've heard two stories of failure and the car has been out for around a year already, with many being tracked, modified and some already being boosted in Japan. Some failures due to factory QC are to be expected, as they are on any car...

    GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

    I get alot of the frustration on here but I genuinely think if this was any other company the process would be far far worse. Pretty much every single launch of a desirable car has had issues like this. As noted earlier Toyota are the one who are going to be financially losing out if the economy...
