GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

For me the best source is Toyota UK, the website info and dealer info is patchy.

I suspect Toyota UK are being vague because they don't know for a variety of reasons they can't share.

They are also an overloaded team.

I'm expecting within the next month with no notice for my car will just arrive at dealer in Bracknell one day.
 
I had a delivery from Japan today 👍😉

I’m baffled now. Tracker shunted mine back to 17th Oct, so I booked my 10yo GT86 for a service/MOT to maintain its warranty for potential resale value in case of a poor trade-in offer.

I got a call today from my dealer, telling me my car is due for delivery on 22nd July on their system, which would render the service (and even MOT) pointless (the dealer had said that a service was irrelevant for trade-in as they’d do another anyway, and the MOT isn’t due till August).

As a result I contacted Toyota UK, ignoring the advice for GR86 buyers to hang up, to be told that 17th Oct was still the expected date despite the car being on a boat due in on 15th July, but couldn’t prise any reason for the apparent delay out of them even after laying it on thick that the 22nd July would seem a reasonable date for delivery (having been told previously that a gap of 10-15 days after arriving in Bristol would be typical, and so a week might be optimistic, but realistic).

I’m baffled by the left-hand/right-hand confusion, and not entirely sure how the same organisation can be nearly three months apart on expected delivery dates, nor why the dealer isn’t being given the same information as I can find online thanks to the advice on p1.

Mine's in the same batch as yours and I tried the same with TUK but got nothing that would explain the significant push back from early August to 17th October
 
The TUK guys must bloody hate that website 'hack' and the dates it spits out !! :ROFLMAO:

Mine is apparently due at my dealer on Weds but it's been sat in Bristol for over 3 weeks now if you want a gauge on its accuracy

For those of us on the Heroic Leader, cars are now past the Suez and in the Med, on route to Barcelona.

Getting excited we have docked in Barcelona - sounds though it will probably be parked in Bristol for a while though looking at the other folks 🤔 before us

Was reading earlier a Yaris GR owner saying they're just about to pick their Yaris up... 2 weeks from Dock to dealer! 2 weeks in Bristol for mine tomorrow and there's another boat load arrived since then as well 🤷‍♂️

Now I don’t want to be that random guy that speculates on the internet… 🤪…

But I wonder if there could have been a hold on the GR orders to make sure none went out before a certain day?

Like when there’s a media hold. If they’ve put a certain day in but customer cars turn up ahead of time I’m guessing Toyota can’t say. You can’t review that car if it’s in the public domain or even personally owned by the reviewer?

Where as that point has long passed for the GRY?

But as I said. Nothing more than wild speculation.

I think your speculation may be correct - they indicated that to me in my last call that cars may be held until an official release date even if they are ready before then.
 
I read the order date on mine as Na Na Na Na (In a voice akin to one child mocking another Nerh Ner style)

I assume that’s what they’re doing 😂

Either that or I should give my Nan a quick ring…
