GR86 More cars on the way..

Al4n said:
I’ve just been invited to buy a GR86, even though I was in the first allocation. Makes me think there are quite a few more cars coming and not just cancelled orders. It’s a different email address (my work one) than the one I used to order my car and I don’t remember actually joining a waiting list.

Me too - just had a email to buy a GR86.

Press release suggests all cars need to be registered before end of year. Possibly just the factory spinning U.K/EU cars around as a priority over other markets that aren’t up against the clock. Then back to supplying ROW where there isn’t the the same level of red tape around safety systems etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

6 months left to cram in as many as possibly I think you are right. I thought we had until mid '24 but clearly not.

Makes sense to maximise U.K. cars and profit
 
Hi all, just registered to say I’ve also now been invited to purchase. No idea when I joined the waitlist. Thought it was only when the emails re second batches got sent out a couple of months ago. Anyway, very excited. Now to pick a colour…

(Can’t stop admiring the electric blue now it’s no longer available)

Have also just found an email in my junk folder telling me ‘It’s time’. Not sure if it is though as I quite like my Yaris. Who’s swapped and what are your thoughts?!

I’ve just found a load of posts about swapping so no need to reply here now. Apologies! I think what will swing it as I’m still enjoying 0% finance on the Yaris for another 14 months so it would be a bit daft to swap that for 8.4%!
 
Lots of folk now getting the 'Its Time' email i wonder how many extra are actually coming? Took out my Boxster yesterday and was thinking do i really need a GR, so far the answer is yes :)

Maybe not that many but I suspect quite a few are not bothering due to the increase in finance rate and / or list price (both of which were expected), so they’re slowly working their way down. Boxster is quite different so of course you need both!
 
I did have a second email address on the waiting list and had nothing since the email from a couple of weeks ago to saying no luck yet. But it might be that they've realised I have one on order now anyway. Who knows.

Got my email on Thurs which is impeccable timing as I’m in the process of moving …

For those who have ordered recently on PCP, how customisable is the finance deal? ie can I modify the deposit, term length and final payment? And any idea when the credit checks are done? I assume the 3rd July which according to the FAQs is the last date to submit a finance application.

Obviously I need my mortgage / move wrapped up before Toyota leave a GR86 sized stain on my credit rating otherwise I could lose the house (and the missus I suppose :LOL:).

Annoying when that happens isn't it, never an ideal time.
If you can get someone to pay the deposit for you, you don't need to sort the finances until closer to when the car arrives. Just order as a cash buyer now and change closer to delivery.
I've been told August September time.
Also consider personal loans or a Halifax PCP, as the rates are cheaper.

Exactly what happened to me when it originally went on sale luckily got a 2nd chance to buy.

It’s flexible can put any deposit up to around £11.5k and and adjust mileage(which changes final payment a little) and how many months (from 24 months to around 48 if I remember correctly)

It says I was accepted for finance straight away although nothing showing on my credit file strangely
 
I was informed a couple of weeks ago by a reliable contact that their will be at least 1000 GR86's in the UK by the end of 2023 and the waiting listing has approx 3k names on it.

I don't know whether the 1k includes the original orders from 2022.

This is extra allocation, not cancelled orders and now that we have witnessed more and more invites to order, I'm confident the details are accurate.
