So I'm interested to see what is happening, because the dealer called me up last week and said they expect to receive the car on the 23/04 and give it to me on the 25th or 26th. Does that sound more accurate?
Depends where you are, Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide. That I'm aware the Trans Future is a 'RORO', being 'Roll on-Roll off' vehicle only carrier, so not sure about any containers

Those unloaded Port Kembla NSW appear to be ready for Sydney buyers at their Dealerships around 23 April so interested in where you are

Not sure what you have done about a spare, Toyota simply dropped them!! I organised a 17 x 7 'Infinity' alloy with a Goodyear 205-45-17 tyre for $340, fits in the wheel well fine!!

Absolutely great!! no doubt you notice as soon as you go over 4000rpm the induction noise floods the car and drowns the radio/stereo?

Enjoy the ride!!

Will watch for a driver with his ears at the back of his head due to the smile being so wide!!

Firstly, I just want to say thanks for your posts. As a newish member, I don't have the ability to "thank" (unless I am totally oblivious to the button lol). But all your posts have been quite helpful.

I'm based in Victoria, my status states the car is being prepared for transport. A status which has remained since Monday (15th). I called up the dealer today and they still believe they will get the car on the 23rd, so I should be able to pick it up a few days after that. So now I am just patiently waiting!!!

Thanks for the compliment! There are still quite a few guys/gals here that have been thru the long wait and to me it's been the friendship gained here that's got me over the long wait!!

After a certain numer of 'posts' you get the ability to 'thank' others, not sure how many though

'Being prepared for transport' means it's off the ship and 'in storage'. I believe that is when the satnav etc in installed so takes about 10-12 days from off ship to get to Dealer

Within a matter of 1-2 hours of being loaded onto the car carrier and heading to your Dealer your 'tracking' will move to 'In transit to Dealer', that's what mine did and also on the SAME day as 'expected latest ....' was showing

So close the days WILL pass!! 'The Demons' has been waiting now 9 months and his dream comes true this Sunday!!

If I was still with my original order placed 2 July last year, my car would only have been built this week and not to the Dealer until around 25 May - so scored a GTS MT and cancelled the GT MT

While mine took 13 days from ship to Dealer and 'The Demons' only 10-11, my Dealer would be deemed to be 'Country' and they would have waited until they had a truck load before leaving - refer pics I posted page 93 and a few of the car on page 94 of the car arriving at the Dealership and then the day I picked it up!! What a nice 'Valentines Day' present!!

Had mine 9 weeks today!!

Does tracking system work for WA dealers

Ordered an 86 from local dealer and last told (few weeks ago) that it's due end June. I have searched this forum and posts suggest that Tracker does not work in WA. Can anyone shed light on that and can WA dealers supply the required info?. Would love a post showing what info is required and where to get it from. Thanks.

If anyone has an base 86 and is looking for a good aftermarket GPS head unit, have one spare and can source more. (Approx $400).
Can instal or assist buyer to.
