Can anyone tell us about how long it takes for the car to get off the boat till the dealer gets it? (Sydney)

Yeah once my foot knows where it is I'll be fine. Driven manuals for seven years... just never had a clutch like this one!

Also I cant work out how the height of the car :/. Its freaking me out. I tried pulling into shops car park today and someone was trying to leave and gave me little to no room to get in. I had to wave them through so I had enough room to go in at a massive angle so I didn't scrape.

I wonder why.
Was thinking we may get in early.
LOL
Exactly the same as me. Was on 7 Jan delivery date but just got pushed back to 8 Jan. The extra day seems like eternity.

Took 181 days but its here. Love it, its awesome.





Surprised at how much it reminds me of the MR2 in styling.



Also the projectors are really cool. Didn't notice them when I went for a test drive. Great looking lights and they work really well. If people are upgrading these they are nuts!

It took 1 day to clear Custom and Melb City Toyota's pre delivery dep received my car the next morning. My car was registered 2 days after, but I have window tinting done by the dealer so it could have been sooner if no after sales addon added to the order.

Good to know the updates aren't too delayed. I assume your car was on Oregon Highway or Trans Future 5?

Not sure to be honest, wasn't paying too much attention.
Noted that you're in Sydney with also an Orange one, where abouts is yours?

Same as mine, status just changed.

What do you think the chances of the car being ready for pickup early?

I don't know how long the time is, i'm assuming my car is in Port Kembla which should take a maximum of 2 - 3 days to get to Liverpool.

Where did you buy from?

If I can get it next week that'd be awesome I'm on annual leave for a while.
