My dealer has been similarly useless. I called them a few days ago to see if they knew anything that I didn't. They weren't sure what an ORCA number was let alone a GR86.

Sorry @Raiden61 but I did chuckle at that!

(Just the thought of a Toyota dealer having no idea about a product they make which has - quite literally - been all over the internet for weeks...)

I do hope the service improves and you receive updates/information soon.
 
Why would any dealer be interested in this colossal mess? They've had zero part in it, seem to be as much in the dark to the process as us all and are only going to be handing you the keys.

Despite an email, a phone call and going into see them Cambridge Stephen Eagell seemingly wish to ignore me. Very perplexing customer service.

I've selected the Colchester Stephen Eagell, Them have checked their system for me when I drop them an email. Can take a few days but I do get a response.
They rang me to tell me the purchase was online only before the car went on sale.

I am with the same Dealer, Josh is my contact. I was 10.36.
TBH I don't really want it until Summer is over, enjoying the MX5 with roof off too much, Wish I could afford them both!

I was 10:31 order and still showing as order processing on MyT app. I've chosen Vantage Wakefield as my dealer and have just pestered them to see if they can provide me with any further info.
Vantage Leeds were pretty good to me and let me take the GR Yaris out for a spin even though there is no hope of ordering one.

I asked both Wakefield & Leeds to contact me as soon as they had any GR86 information.
Josh at Leeds contacted me, so I went to see him & he printed me a brochure. I also gave him a deposit before all the online ordering kicked off.
Josh is a proper Petrolhead & takes a keen interest in the GR range.

I never heard a thing from Wakefield!

I had a £500 holding deposit at Wakefield too and they printed me a brochure. They did inform me of the online only ordering, albeit at 09:45 on the day. But already had the info from here.
Good to see a few other local people :)

This sounds like the sort of dealer experiences I've had in the past...

Parkland Toyota here in Cornwall are superb. Have done their best to stay on top of the GR86 online confusion. My personal experience with them has been stress free mainly down to the help from Tom a very confident, professional member of staff. I'll therefore be using them beyond the handover (whenever that may be) for all my GR servicing.

I'm also using Parklands Toyota. I know one chap personally that works there and is always there to answer any questions I fire at him which is ideal!

They also called me Saturday 23rd April to tell me to order the car online. Oh well in fairness to them, I called 3 local Hyundai dealers to get a test drive on an i20N while I wait as it's sort of a rival to the GR86, price-wise anyway, none of them have got back to and that was over a month ago.

I'll just sit tight, I'm in the group that has slipped to the 24th of August now so we may well be on a boat of our own in the next few weeks!
 
E-mailed my chosen dealer to see if they could provide any updates from their systems and they have provided me with an ETA of 12th September. Usual caveat that this could change applies.
No call or updating of the MyT app beyond 'processing order'.

What was the time of your confirmed order?
 
The batch that arrived first, still sits in the docks - 2 weeks now, although last week we had bank holidays etc. From what I read other forums car do tend to wait there for few weeks before the pdi in Derby, so have to be patient :)
