GR86 Reassuring! Online/dealer ordering process

[NoBoost]

I just spotted this, I assume that's an official Toyota link/source saying not to worry and dealers can process pre-placed deposits/orders. Mine just refunded the deposit, bailed out and said sorry for the confusion, they learned after this forum that it'd be online orders only.

I think many who let their dealers take them through the process missed the boat and didn’t get a car. Your dealer did the best thing by giving back your deposit and letting you do it when it went live.

oh absolutely - good job neither they nor I depended upon the reassurance from Toyota quoted above.

I don’t think that statement is incorrect. They were able to assist you. But I suspect dealers didn’t expect the cars to all sell in an hour or so.

I think some managed this - the dealer basically went on the website with you I think?

Some dealers said they’d put the order in for the customer, some said come in and sit with us and we will guide you.
