GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

Accounting for inflation it’s about the same list price but with higher interest rates and the increase in price I worked out the finance payment was roughly double what I paid for my GRY finance deal. So I would suspect the price this time around, whilst not unreasonable, is too much for many.

I didn’t go into the ballot for the facelift for that reason. My local dealer called me last week saying they had an allocation and are offering them to existing customers first. So either dealers now have some cars they’re allowed to sell or Toyota have been though the list and there hasn’t been a take up of build slots.

Whilst I agree with your points, the finance deals were not known prior to signing up to the ballot.

As has been previously mentioned Toyota UK have changed how they are allocating cars. They are no longer going through the list and instead I’m now giving all GR dealers 2 cars for the year.

It was the same for me

£325->£640

Not that it matters because they never offered me one

True, although personally having worked for a OEM Bank I knew it wouldn’t be anywhere near as good second time around. Not just a Toyota problem, all OEMs have the unenviable problem of new cars that are significantly more expensive, with borrowing rates significantly higher. Even if they offer 0% deals they’ll be paying the finance cost for you and that will be a lot more than it was 4 years ago.

Rumour was originally this would make its way to Europe, I’m not too sure. I suspect they’ll keep this to themselves in JP. Shame. Unless it’s in very very limited numbers.

Anyone else manage to order a new Yaris ? I managed to get one today but it will not be here until May so falls foul of the rip off tax increase of £1650 ffs 🤦 I ordered a manual in Precious metal 🤘

Yes I managed to order one - delivery in June. Luckily a dealer had my recent details and contacted me. My local dealer had already sold their 2. Thanks again to @Ecsrobin for calling the release out!
Could always SORN until the year runs out, but then you don't get to drive it....

I managed to snag a main dealer one that popped up on auto trader on Friday. Was already specced but happy to just get one without paying the crazy overs. Should be here next month.

Assuming it could be a cancelled order with it already being specced.

Can confirm I just received an email from my dealer late this eve about one. Will be giving him a call but if it lands after the tax increase it might just be the final straw for me.

Unfortunately wasn’t able to get one. Was 2 clicks away but dealer was too slow and told me “it has just sold” as I was giving him details to put a deposit on it. :rolleyes:

Funnily enough I’m half relieved. It was a July arrival and subject to the additional tax, bringing the price closer to 50k. So it’s a bit of a blessing in disguise for me as that’s a lot of money in the current economic climate.

This was the post that inspired me to get a move on and contact some dealers. I got mine via Huddersfield branch.
Thanks @Ecsrobin 👍🏻
