I suspect the way the currency is fluctuating at the moment (or bombing against the $) the price they need to charge changes all the time, so I guess they are leaving it as late as possible to commit. Initially I thought just under £40k would make sense for the UK market for tax purposes but sounds like it may be way more than that, although I find £50k pretty hard to believe.
£50k is a lot of money but then I am so shocked at what cars cost at the minute. I saw a used 2021 BMW 118i M sport recently for £36k. I could even justify that on a used 140i.
Agree, absolutely mad. Used 3 year old M135i’s still over £30k. Base Yaris is more than £20k isn’t it?! Then again, it would probably cost £20k a year to heat your home soon if there was no price cap. Crazy times!
Hhmm... don't want any of the others, would they get a bit miffed if I change to white then back to smurf? I guess if I time it right I could end up with the last registered one in the UK lol.Change your colour and go to the back of the queue
Yeah who knows. There is also the possibility that Toyota will get their act together and once they have ironed out all these issues there may be a sudden deluge of the things
Although probably not.
Blame PCP for list prices going skywards, hardly anyone “owns” a car anymore, you are effectively leasing it with an option to buy, only question you get asked is “what deposit and what monthly budget” , list price is irrelevant
I must admit, since getting my GR Yaris last week all my stress and frustration with the 86 purchase has just totally disappeared..... so has any excitement, however.
With the service price increase they will make way more out of servicing your car (potentially for 10 years) than they would make from selling it in the first place, they will still get a handover fee , and any service plan if bought through them. Some dealers put customer service at the top of their priority list , some don‘t know what it is , all depends who you are dealing with.
Yeah it's a lottery. Dealers locally are generally poor. If it means I travel further for better service I will and make a day out for it.With the service price increase they will make way more out of servicing your car (potentially for 10 years) than they would make from selling it in the first place, they will still get a handover fee , and any service plan is bought through them.

I’ve done the same myself when I had VWs , local dealership
, so travelled an hour to someone who valued my custom, trusted their word and didn’t screw you on cost either 
I’m lucky with my local Toyota dealership, very customer focused 
. If not I’ll happily flip it (black manual if anyone’s interested…)and spend the money adding some more touches to the Supra. (Eyes on some aftermarket alloys and an exhaust)
Car's looking great @LU71KEE and I'll echo what @doogle83 says - all the best with your promotion!I’m loving my Supra and have had just over a month now of enjoying it.
The few little touches like the quarter stripes, window tint and the black door vent wrap has added that little bit of personalisation, albeit ones that others have. And I am more than happy with it.
She’s almost run in now. Sitting pretty at 1100miles. I can’t wait to start opening it up.
I’ve kept my GR86 order open. I’ve just gone for a substantial promotion at work and if I get it might be able to convince the Mrs I can run both
I felt instant relief as soon as I got another car, but I completely understand why so people are waiting. With the way inflation is it’s going to be a special car at the price point. But only if you have the patience for it
