GR86 GR86 Confirmed Order Maps

Just heard that there are 4 confirmed orders at the Maidstone dealership. Which isnt even a GR Centre, can imagine we may be hitting 8-9

One of those would be mine.

I would have used Beadles Gillingham as they are a GR centre but they have been sh*t to deal with in the past.

Mine is going to Maidstone. I was down as Sidcup as it’s my local but they have been crap at responding to emails whereas Beadles in Maidstone were trying to help me out from the start and have been in constant touch with me to see if they can try and track my order.
 
Anyone else at Beadles Gillingham? When I went to get my deposit back and talked to the salesman there, he gave the impression there was me and one other at least - but I don't know if there's any more.
 
Hi @Adam - when is the next map update due? We have one Surrey member on the map but there are at least 3 that I'm aware of. Thanks bud.

Thursday hopefully! Rather busy so struggle to find the time to sit down and scan through everyone's location.

I may try and write a bot to do it once my job hunt is finished.

I was so disappointed with Stortford I switched to Cambridge at the last minute. I'd placed a 'deposit' back in January but ended up struggling to get an answer from them about what was happening. I telephoned them several times to say that it seemed that it would be online ordering only but I wasn't getting much joy. Indeed, I only got a refund once I pointed out to them that their colleagues at Chelmsford were refunding deposits to their customers. I think the final straw was when I got a call at about 11am on the 20th 'informing' me about the online order process. As I've posted before, without this forum I probably wouldn't have secured a car.

I suspect most dealers have been caught out and are a bit disgruntled. Since placing my order Cambridge don't seem that interested either (even though they are a GR centre). I've emailed and telephoned about my order but no-one has called me back.

I to was disappointed with Stortford having to placed a deposit albeit in March, I did share with the Sales Rep that I was dealing with that I had heard that (not through here but no doubt the information came from here) that it was to be online ordering only from 10am, I was reassured that the largest dealer in Europe would secure me a car without supplying me any paperwork!!

To be fair to Stortford (Shannon) and much thanks to Callahan for alerting her that it was online only Shannon gave me a call, I was in a meeting so I ducked out and to her absolute credit with shared information on my Toyota account etc she ordered my one and to speed things up I just went cash to skip the trade in process on a value that had been pre agreed...I could have rattled through this whole ordering process in a couple of minutes had my initial sales rep listened to what I was telling him!! But I must thank Shannon for calling me and securing me a car and 10.44 and further that she called round all orders that had been pre placed...Im probably why you got the call at 11am!! Apologies....Shannon has mailed me in detail and as soon as my car hits their system she will update me....but she has probably been fed a lot of misinformation as we know as she is quoting July!! The whole thing is a shambles!!

Do you have a delivery date?

I didn't deal with Shannon but it sounds as if she went the extra mile for you.

ETA using the developer tools is 8 August but I'm guessing that by the time it actually arrives at the dealer it will be September. (My order confirmation was 10:04)

Shannon did go the extra mile to be honest, the only credit to the Toyota brand at this moment in time to my mind, TUK haven't bothered to reply to a mail I sent last week!!

I do hope you get yours this summer/autumn....Im resigned to next year now!! I hope!!
 
Thanks - hopefully you won't have to wait as long. When mine does put in an appearance I'll be more than happy to give you a run out in it if you'd like.

Mine's due on the same date so we might be queuing up on September the first to get them!
A run in them would be great, I'm definitely up for that.
Going through the whole process as you've both described, I'm just glad I'm not a Toyota dealer having to deal with Toyota UK, they really have managed to make a mess of what should have been a great experience.
I'll forget all that when the car arrives however!
 
@Adam , great work on the updated maps , looking great , much appreciated, and thanks to nearly everyone for adding a location👍
