GR86 Ordered Does not mean done deal apparently!!

[Markondaki]

Having placed my order, ( advance paid and order number visible when I sign on to the toyota site online) seeing as How I had so far not received any communication from Toyota, I decided to call them on the number provided, only to be told that they had apparently taken more orders than there are cars available. Apparently they are going in chronological order regarding actual allotment ! will take about a week to know if you are actually going to get a car despite the order having gone through ! Don't know how they managed to muck it all up. Fingers crossed anyway. Wonder How many of us actually have orders with confirmation from Toyota that they are alloted a car?

Just Checked, I had recieved an order confirmation mail too!, wonder if its just the guy pulling a fast one ?

Ordered at 10:04 AM on 20/04 and immediately received an email confirmation with an order number, then another email at 10:05 with an ORCA reference advising me of next steps (including confirming ID), then a marketing email at 10:09 with the link to the build page to let me know they've started taking orders at 10:00 AM (lol), and finally an email from someone at Toyota Buy Online team at 4:35 PM to remind me to upload my driving license details and that someone will be in touch with me over the phone in the coming days.

No contact since but I'm being patient for now

I had exactly the same on the day I put the order in. Though I was one of the early bird queue jumpers.....

I think if you order confirmation came in before 10.40am, you will be fine. 10.40 to 11.30am might be a little uncertain, and after 11.30am is getting into the "maybe" area... (in my opinion)
