I’ve chased a few dead ends recently on what seemed like genuine offers for sales on GRY orders, but each time it’s lead to nothing.

So perhaps it’s better to reach out to the comminity directly and ask if any knows of any available cars, or if anyone is regretting their order and wants to make a quick profit and sell their slot.

I’m looking for a pearlescent white GRY, have the funds to move forward immediately, and am happy to pay to take over an existing slot.

I’m not sure you can necessarily buy a ‘slot’ as this may land the dealer in some trouble but if you get lucky you will have to pay the current list price which is £2k more than what the original customer will pay. For that reason it may be worth just trying to find one that has already been registered.

I have a pearl white CP arriving imminently and while I have lost interest a bit with the constant delays I want to see it through now,

Good luck with your search anyway!
 
Yeah makes sense. There have been a few messages on here recently that mentioned known cancelled orders, I’m just trying to find one of those, or maybe pique someone’s interest who may have had a change of heart and wants to pass their slot on.

I have no idea how that works in practice, it’s one of the questions I haven’t yet found the answer to. It seems to be happening though.

I‘ll likely keep the car for life, so a newly registered car would be preferable If I can get one.
 
Have you messaged that guy that has a slot for sale for £750?
 
Good luck mate! They are indeed quite hard to come by.

I did find a CP that the owner didn't want and I managed to finance last year RRP for the car with Toyota, so it is possible :)

Keep hunting and one will turn up eventually! Or just buy a second hand with low mileage - they are around!

And the prices are falling. There are a couple for 33 on Autotrader.

Yep!
I wouldn't blame anyone for cancelling their new order for a second hand one when those prices get below new ones (until production stops)
 
It’s deffo worth waiting for your car ,from personal experience I was waiting 15 months for mine and was going to cancel but did not give up and took delivery July just gone and so glad I did as 1st owner and got it at rrp and amazing car .
 
Ged- I have a Platinum (Pearl) White Circuit Pack due in 6 weeks, so this might be of interest to you. Not 100% sure I’m selling it yet, but I might be persuaded. I don’t think it’s possible to sell the order slot though, so it would be a case of me selling the car as soon as I receive it, possibly on the same day as I collect it. Let me know if you’re still looking. Thanks.

You can transfer the slot to someone else...just depends if the dealer wants to honour the price you ordered it at or charge the new customer the new rate..

Hi @Teacher Apologies, I was away this weekend and missed this message. I certainly don't wanna try to persuade you into anything, but if you do decide to move the slot on to someone else, I'd be very interested in taking it over.

As Sly says, you can definitely pass them on, it's happened many times already. From my understanding, the dealerships are pretty open to the original slot owner passing their reservations on to someone else of their choosing. It'll always be at the new increased prices, so you could argue the dealerships would be only too happy to facilitate.
 
Interesting. 🤔 My understanding was that the people on the official waiting list had priority. Regarding finance, I had to get my proposal completed and agreed at the end of March as the deals were ending then, so I doubt you would benefit from the 0% finance. I have my doubts but, assuming you’re correct and slots can be transferred, what sort of financial arrangement were you thinking. Feel free to send me a private message if you prefer. Thanks.

Toyota will offer the next buyer the 1.9% interest rate.

Like they did with me but one of the Facebook group members (sales at a Toyota dealership) says that 0% is still available for him to select on his system so maybe if you pushed you can still get the 24 month 0%
 
I've had a Scarlet Flare CP on order since July 2021 with no confirmed date yet! I was initially given May 18th this year, then July, then October but now it may be December. I was offered a cancelled order in pearlescent white a few weeks ago but the dealer then found out from Toyota that any cancelled orders had to be returned to them and put back into the system; obviously to then be sold at the latest list price.
 
Hi Everyone - Note to Teacher . Mine was an Orphan .... The story was that i pestered my local dealer and I hoped prooved I was a genuine buyer... This went on from june 2021 ... I had no luck on any of the waiting lists .. only reply i had was when 2022 was filled and would have to wait to 2023. I had really given up . The dealer did say he would put me on his ," personal waiting list " . Then out of the blue , dealer phones me up and says Ive got a cancelled order , I need £1000 now non refundable over the phone right now please.... you are the first on my waiting list . So that as that. I paid the money . Dashed down there , saw the Jaahris all wrapped up , delivery miles etc . Dealer gave me 1.9% over max term . I am the first registerd owner ( so they WILL transfer it so you are the original owner on the V5 ) All went through lovely . So, I think different dealers play different local games . They know they can sell the cancelled orders just like that to someone whos keen . So they wont neccessarily go on the official waiting list. The only "waiting list " priority imho is the Sales Guy making sure he can sell on a canx order in time to get the money in for his monthly sales quota etc etc. Hope this helps from my personal experience . Wish Ged and eveyone still searching all the luck to get a new one. If you really appreciate driver cars then you will not regret it . 2030 its all over , manufacturers now are not interested in developing fossil fuel burning 3 pedals. anymore .. let alone a homolagated one, We are so lucky Toyota did this . keep trying !!!
