Delayed again

[Trueno86]

Just got a message from my dealer this morning. My GTS Manual's scheduled production has been pushed from September to November now (Not sure why a whole month has been skipped).

Order was placed June 18th, originally going to be for Aug built, Sept delivery and that slipped like everyone elses by a month.

Trying to call him back now to get more info, not sure if anyone else if experiencing this. Was looking forward to having car scheduled for production next month and now its an even longer wait! But what can you do.

Come on Toyota, getting rid of the spare wheel was supposed to get us more volume by aligning our production spec with Europe!

My guess that i was getting it closer to xmas really is coming true (unfortunately)

June 18 order for Aug production, then September production.... I think your dealer was having a lend. My May 1 order I was told on June 8 that I "might" get Sept production - after being told June production on May 1.

Can only tell you what the system tells you at the time, I saw the screenshot. Just got off the phone with him, could jump around again next month. Simple problem is too much demand and Oz is at the lower end of the Toyota food chain. Might as well delay it so its a 2013 car.

Your car doesn't have a scheduled for production month yet. There is no way your dealer could know this unless he has a buddy in the Suby factory or something. He's probably just guessing based on their order sheet and how many are coming through.

I'd ask him straight up where he got this information from.

You were just unfortunate to order when you did as your dealer had no allocated cars of that spec left for you so all you could do is wait until the first production run which was August/September.

I pre-ordered mid march...

Finally I have a August production - End of sept delivery.

Unless you see the tracking with a production month, then you cant really believe what the dealers are saying. My dealer found out about the ETA on the same day as my tracking updated.

In the end, 1st allocations were done to the dealers regardless of what pre-orders the dealership had. Some people got lucky and the dealer got a car in their spec. I didnt, and the other 2 guys infront of me didnt either.

What has happened as happened. Hopefully toyota will learn from this.

A bit more communication was needed from toyota to advise customers of what the process is and waiting times.

Im sure this would be easy enough to communicate.

Car is in high demand, so there is going to be mistakes and things missed and some unhappy people. It sucks but what can you do.

Does your tracker show scheduled for production or in production? And it definitely shows August? I have been told a few times from various sources there was no August production run any more.

If I has gone to another dealer, I'd be driving my car.

Dunno if it is true, but my dealer called me a couple of weeks ago and told me my August build was delayed to September for October delivery.

WOW i am astounded on some of the push outs i am reading here.

i had my first, and there wont be another, i told the dealer so. and they understood.

the car wont go begging that is for sure. will just switch to plan B.

was advised as much as they can assure me, it will be the last push as far as they can see and they fully understand the annoyance.

on the flip side i am not in a hurry, i justy have a timeline to follow and i promised myself a new car for my birthday, so its the whole principle of the thing. i admire you die hards who keep getting pushed out.

I told you guys the dealers have no control over the delivery dates on the car until there is A20 (Production Confirmed) your car can bounce months for production
