I have spoken with my Dealer regarding the compliance plates, they are attached in Australia once the vehicle arrives. If it's December build in Japan that is shown and once off the ship and to Toyota the Australian compliance is attached there showing the actual month it arrived.If the boat arrives on or after January 1st the compliance plate will show 'January' The plates on my Corolla Levin differed by two months from the build plate to the compliance date
At the weekend I was speaking to a Stock Controller from a large Brisbane Dealership [not Toyota] and he said what happens usually is vehicles landed in Australia mid to late December are held over until January for compliance, so received a 'January' plate. If the customer is desperate for the vehicle they will have that one 'pushed thru' but it will get 'December' compliance
On another matter, again speaking with a Dealer, their lists are showing NO cars planned for January build, jumps from December to February, so they have no idea whether the plant shuts down or what - I will contact a guy next floor up who's brother works for TMCA-Q and see what he says about it
The wait goes on!
