Toyota Dealership Stock
 

When a price is released for this vehicle alot of people will either place an order or wait.
And if you are like me, and as soon as you want something, your try and get it asap, it would be good to know what dealerships have what colour/transmisson/model.

Now that article carsales posted regarding "soldout" has got to be bs.

I can guarantee that dealerships outside of capital cities will have stock - 1 i know of and contacted yesterday was Nowra toyota. unfortunately they dont have the colour i wanted but someone might.

They have an Orange GT and a Grey GT both in manual.

They guy i got in contact with was named michael and got back to me within minutes.

Does anyone know of any dealerships that have a white manual GT/GTS not pre ordered yet?

only one i know is that Penrith, NSW will get 2 orange and 2 grey. AND 2 of them will be auto

andrew.smith@peterwarren.com.au, 4 slots available (2 in Nov. 2 in Dec. projected delivery times based on current orders) - pick your colour and transmission......k...........go!

P.S. We're Warren Toyota at Warwick Farm NSW (Near Liverpool). I can also be contacted on 02 9828 8948 or 0406 237 776, cheers.

^ damn that's a long wait - i'm sure when prices are revealed they will be a few dropping out so for those who haven't ordered yet the wait shouldn't be that bad.

right, i guess i have to blow the bubble for some of the dealers.

i called 4 dealership in the last few days, and they can all assure me that they will be able to get a car in the launch month but the color can not be guaranteed and for some strange reason they all have 1 car left. I can understand this but i was under the impression the wait is a minimum 3 months.

Plus everyone is waiting on pricing to confirm the contract and if the pricing does not meet their expectations there will be more stock.

failing to understand the hype with the sold out article.

I only booked a car not long ago ( last 2 weeks) and i have been assured that i can get one next month.

I know of a dealer that will have 4 cars initially (may arrive in 2 weeks), and only 1 is sold.

So all 'sold out' articles are bs, yes.

Call Southside Toyota- Woolloongabba - Brisbane (07) 3008 6433

interesting. when is ETA?

waiting for launch means the car is already at the dealer?

is all this stock available or already pre booked

i assume "waiting for lauch" is sitting in stock

WOOT! I already have a deposit on a High Grade Manual GTS in Lightning Red with Southside Toyota!!! Damn I hope this one is mine :thumbsup:

After making a hell of a lot of phone calls this week I just wanted to have a bit of a rant about how shit and unmotivated Toyota AU staff are in general.

I understand that none of them have had the new product training, but as people working in the automotive industry you'd think the first new sports car they get to sell in decades would spark some attention and initiative from sales staff within the company.

Even ignoring the complete lack of knowledge about the 86, when I call Toyota and explain I have 40 grand in my pocket to spend on one of their products, I expect more than to be cold transferred to a sales rep who's not in the office and doesn't have voicemail.

:suicide:

Nix - call us... we are happy to take your $40K... as long as it is enough.

Almost all those cars are unallocated.. there is about 3 times that list that IS allocated...
At Sea and waiting for launch are GOOD.. the others are not as exciting...
Call the number during business hours.
We get to see and touch them this Monday... initial training.

I may do that thx.

WHO DOES NO ONE SEEM TO HAVE BLUE!!?? pretty depressing if u ask me, its rarely seen in photos and by the looks of it, i might NEVERR be able to see it in person :( :(

put blue cellophane tape over your eyes and look at a white one?
:P

hahaha could work... but the yellow traffic lights would end up looking green, that could cause some havoc

To be honest at first i wanted the white because my dealer talked me into it saying "oh, nah the extra paint cost doesn't apply...yada yada..." so i go "oh yeah, if that's the case white it is!". Then by the time I changed my mind, his like "I'll try, i doubt i can change the colour in time for you to blue" a week later he replied "Sorry man, i can't change it, if you really wanted it changed you'll be at the back of the line. =/" So i was like "ahh what the heck...white is white...not too fussed"

I don't mind the white. you could always wrap your car up.
http://www.provinyl.com.au/index.htm - I was thinking getting carbon fibre over the hood and roof, not sure if tinting the headlights is legal and i think it effects the brightness of the light too...maybe light tint on the tail lights...
=)

yellow means green anyway :burnrubber:

I would normally just go off the post ion of the light... yellow always being in the middle

hahaha touche

Hiya Nix, also feel free to call me anytime, after hours is also fine, hence the reason i give my mobile number out.

anyone know of any dealerships getting a white manual gt/gts for launch that hasnt got a deposit yet?

I believe northpoint adelaide had a GT as of early last week (could have been black though).

we have a white GTS manual with factory Aero Package... build schedule for July.. expect arrival late July, early August...

Ph 07 30086433.
Prefer to sell to Qld residents or if you have a qld address.. too much mucking around doing interstate rego. And dont want to step on other Dealers toes.

how much extra is the aero package and what does it include?

thanks

Any dealers have a Blue GTS manual? Looking at potentially upgrading.

Just put a deposit on my White manual GT for first delivery :)

hi guys

just letting you know i had a pre-order for a grey manual GT at brighton toyota, ive now switched to silver (my other half preferrred silver), so theres a grey GT arriving sometime in end of June/early July that should be available

cheers

Which dealer may i ask? Im after the exact same colour and spec

Hey peeps I need some advice...

When I first signed my contract just this week my dealer assured me that I would be getting a car in July but today he called me up and said it will be built in July and expect delivery in August.

So just wondering from what your dealers have told you what is your build month and what is your expected delivery month? I'm curious because I've lost trust in my dealer (not that I had much in the first place) and I think he might be bullshitting me again.

PS. I rang some dealers today just to figure if someone could get the specs I wanted earlier. No luck but here's what I found...

Phil Gilbert Toyota in Lidcome, NSW - have a Red GTS Auto coming in July and Black GTS Auto coming in August.

Lander Toyota in Blacktown, NSW - have a White GTS and Silver GTS coming in July.

it will be built in July and expect delivery in August.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Same with me. :( it will come when it will come.

Hi Sticky, thanks for the post mate, appreciated. It's not necessarily your dealer's fault.

Unfortunately Toyota have not accounted for the success of this car world wide and have pushed most production of the Australian stocks back a month or so. I believe they have done so to accommodate other, larger right hand drive markets.

Now the guys who actually make cars can correct me if i'm wrong but i reckon it would take them almost a month to physically reset production line - plus the 86 and BRZ are made on the same production line at Fuji Heavy Industries in Japan and we were told by TMCA at training the other day that Fuji Heavy' have not made a separate production line for 86 & BRZ; what that means is they share a similar production line as some other Fuji Heavy' types of motor vehicle. it may be such a thing as production timing, for example, half the month may be spent building Subaru Impreza's then they stop the line, do a tool change then restart it building 86's then stop it, do another re-tooling then start making BRZ's, etc.

There may be another reason entirely but let me assure you this sticky - no dealer wants to slow down delivery of any car on order, regardless of type, because it slows down final payment to the dealer and car salespeople like myself don't get paid commission on sales, we get paid commission on deliveries which just doesn't happen without cars to deliver. There is no logical reason any dealer, including myself as i work for Warren Toyota, would desire to hold off on delivering a car they are waiting to get paid for.

Having said all that, there may be another reason they (TMCA/Toyota Japan) have pushed production back another month or so for most vehicles. Unfortunately folks the head honcho's don't always share their reasons for doing things with dealers/salespeople.

Allow me to share with you that i have spent the better part of almost every day and up to 1-2am of the following day for the better part of 3 months preparing for the 86 launch so i could keep my customers informed and you folks too so to make the best of things for everyone concerned. It has been very difficult almost flying solo on this but i can tell you mate whether we like it or not Australia is a very small drop in the pond on a world scale for motor vehicle sales. Larger markets are generally always satisfied first.

It may interest you to know that Australia's yearly sales of new motor vehicles equal approximately 1 month's supply in the USA. Not sure of the RHD Euro market but i imagine it would be something similar.

Anyway, it will all be resolved soon enough; hope that helps you understand the way things usually work folks.

Thanks for your time,

Hey Sticky,

I got told today my car will be built in July as well and should arrive in Aus a month later so August.

- Sonic Blue built 06/12 so this should also be arriving at the dealer in July

GT Auto:
- Tornado Grey built 04/12 so should be coming in real soon

- Storm Black built 07/12 so should be arriving in August

GTS Auto:
Tornado Grey built 07/12 so should be arriving in August
Storm Black built 07/12 so should be arriving in August

Ask for a guy named Robert Ascic, he's a nice guy and sold me a GT in white today. Also if you could, tell him I (William Bui) sent you :)


Edit: Oh and another thing, Rob the sales guy said that not this weekend, but the weekend after (16/06/12), they should have a Demo car in for everyone to play with.

- Will

Thanks for the reply guys. I would have bought the car from you Andrew because you seem like a genuinely nice guy based on your presence on this forum - it's just I live pretty far away from Warwick Farm.

That's my car! :mad0260:

lol really? guy should have crossed it off his list then as being sold. Sorry

does anyone know if the 86 is now on the system?

my dealer has not gotten back to me with proper contract with drive away price.

No it hasn't - they are still waiting on pricing on things like paint.

Not sure about other peeps, but my dealer has it in his database, I've watched him do my contract/tax invoice, he select fields from drop down boxes, the only part is allowed to type is "Customer Details" and "Comments" field.
:thumbsup::D

Just got an email from a sales guy i was dealing with in syd,

"Hi Folks,

I have some great news!

One of our pre-orders has been cancelled and that means we now have a vehicle available for pick up before June 30th.

It’s a Sonic Blue GTS manual. If you would like to secure this car subject to test drive please give me a call on 0404 098 860. Deposit requirement is $1,000 and fully refundable if the vehicle is not to your liking after test drive.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards
