GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

Haven't a few people got a notification that the car arrived at the dealer but it wasn't there still?

I may be getting confused now with everything that's been going on over the past week.

It seems until you have the keys in your hand, it's difficult to say when you'll really be picking up the car.

Either scenario seems to be true 🤣sorry one can only laugh to ease the pain!

Congrats! Who did you ask for the delivery wrapping to remain on - was it Toyota GB or the dealer? Thinking I might do the same.

The dealer actually asked if I wanted it kept on. At first I said no but then changed my mind.
 
Congratulations to those that have received their cars, although very jealous, I'm pleased people are starting to receive them even if the whole process is a bit of a nightmare. Look forward to seeing many pictures of members cars soon enough"

I've peeled it off already. Comes off pretty easily

Ah that's good to know.

Getting mine in the morning so I'll not worry too much about them having done any damage removing the stuff.

I have to say, despite the lack of contact throughout the whole process, the online team, and my dealer have been great in the last week.

Loads of calls, efficient emails etc....

I've bought 5 tubs of Xmas chocs to give to the team at the dealership.

Fighting to keep my kids off them though, might not be 5 by the morning.

That's a nice touch.

I'm thinking of getting something for the Toyota UK online team. I'll send it to Derbyshire, hide it for nine months, and let them have it once they've demonstrated enough "continual patience".

Had my email re payment today but no clue on delivery date
 
Well, today marks the day when my GR86 "is supposed to" land at the dealership (according to their system) but I've heard nothing from TUK and haven't even been asked to pay yet so I'm very doubtful. Very annoying as it now looks like I won't have a car over the Christmas period, nor for the last 6 weeks!
 
How long did everyone here with a confirmed collection have to wait for Toyota and the dealer to contact them about the handover from when the MyT status updated to "Arrived at your Retailer"? Is there anyone still waiting for this to be arranged?

I made the payment and had the app notification and email yesterday, so hoping they'll be able to do the PDI before the end of the week, but that may be wishful thinking...

Are you getting them to remove the stickers and wash the car?

I'm tempted to ask them to do that, as the weather is too harsh for detailing outside, and I'm not feeling a 100% right now. I want to make sure the car is in a good shape when picking it up, in case any issues need rectifying.

That's partly what I'm debating too. If I keep all the wrap on and then find there are marks/blemishes after, it will just be a hassle to sort out. At least if everything is off, I can inspect everything properly at handover in case of issues.

I'm on this side of it too. Was going to keep on but don't want the fight with the dealer if there are issues. Drive home slow, spray some tar and glue remover on it with some citrus degreaser for the bottom half (I'm trying the Gtechniq ones) then snowfoam and detail as normal.

Mine is sitting at the dealership in Colchester. Finance deposit paid, drive away insurance done, emails recieved, app updated ... sales exec says Toyota Online just need to dot i's and cross t's and register it. Then it's good to go apprently.

I'm collecting mine from Rayleigh. Apparently the other two orders there are not due till next year, but I'm not sure if they're forum members.

I'll be giving them a call later today if I don't hear anything before 3 PM as want to make sure they're not waiting for anything else from me.
