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.

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.


As for whoever else who has not put a deposit down for an 86, here are the stocks coming in for Terry Shields Toyota in Parramatta:

GT Manuals:
- Storm Black built 04/12 so should be arriving at the dealer real soon
- 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
- Velocity (hater) Orange built 06/12 so should be coming in July
- 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.

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.
