GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

[James-UK]

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!

As an i20N owner... that doesn't surprise me. Look on autotrader.. .they're like gold dust. There's only like 5 actual cars in stock, the rest are orders. Plus I had to wait a LONG LONG time. i20N is almost exactly the same as the GR86... basically sold out before launch. You'd just be entering another wait list. Or you buy one at a slight premium 1-2k. The dealers for Hyundai are overwhelmed with demand, they don't even need to offer you a test drive. People are ordering them without ever seeing one.

Personally, I'm not actually that fond of mine. It's a fun little go-kart. but it isn't that fast and it's just a dull ubiquitous hatchback even in performance blue.

Anyone in Jemca Reading? They have been silent for me

My nominated dealer is Jemca Bracknell, not a peep out of them. I'm trying to out the whole thing to the back of my mind now, the customer service all round has been woeful.

If you have questions, call them or drop in if it's local. Bracknell have been pretty helpful so far when I've had something worth asking about

Confirmed they could see my order initially, then a rough delivery ETA, that they have a demo car inbound but that the first batch of customer cars are likely to turn up at the same time. There are no dealer "accessories" available to them yet but they were confident we could bring cars back in for anything likely to be on that list at a later date etc.

They have 15 GR86 orders apparently so I would hope they end up fairly clued up on them.

It's around Lisbon now. Shame they can't drop it off there, the drive home would nicely cover off the running in mileage

Thanks Doogle, I may give them a call next week. When they gave you your rough delivery ETA, had you had the call from Toyota Online ?

I had but I was one of the lucky early calls I think. They could see my ORCA number and confirmed I had a car before I'd had my call from Toyota though so they can definitely see some detail.

Thanks, I think I will give them a call this week.

Just had my 1/30 car arrive and the red looks great. Can’t wait for the real thing now!

Had seen the ones on eBay at high prices but managed to get this one at a much better cost on AliExpress.

My dealership have let me know they have no way of tracking or seeing an online order and I'll only hear from them once the car arrives.... Good job we can track ourselves using the website code!

I think a few of us (@cakper @my_first_toyota ) have just left Portbury docks. Just over 2 weeks there.

Argh, they could have waited 1 more day for the Virgo Leader cars to get there before they left!
