I think some dealers just had unrealistic expectations of when their orders would be built and communicated that to customers. I don't think many people went out if their way to shaft customers.

What dealership did you order from ?

Also, do you know if the cars your getting are from the 1st batch that was specifically allocated for you. Or did you's get lucky that you ordered that colour type and thats what was already allocated for your dealership.

Mines from Peter warren

Well I did have one from first batch?
They had 3 or 4 cars in the first batch, silver, black, blue and another color. Only GTS man they had in that first allocated batch they received was the blue which I was told would be assigned to me and they will try to swap it for a white one. A few weeks into it, I was told that they will order one and it will be June build which I was fine as I will get the color I wanted (well I did want the YELLOW that the jdm boys get and asked if I could get a special order in but no dice)

Alex who is my sales rep pretty much kept me up to date up the status and stuff. Andrew called me up today since Alex had a day off to provide me with an update etc for Alex... now thats pretty top service and Andrew even told me that he was disappointed since I was the first pre order at the dealership and wasn't the first one to receive their car


u went to sydney city right?

yeah


Not the dealers fault. Toyota's fault. There should have been a proper pre-order system. 1st in 1st serve.

Subaru did it ? How hard would it be ?

There's probably only 150 people in Australia that think the Subaru system worked well, and amongst them there would still be some thinking WTF.

27 pre orders seems weak if you ask me. They knew what to expect with the 86 already out.

i am honestly suprised the number of pre orders was so low.

But if they are $5000 as first reported I'm not that surprised. I'd want to see one before laying down that kind of money. As it stands people had to buy them before they got the chance to see them anyway. I wonder what kind of get out clause if any was available online.

Nope wasn't $5k everywhere - my mate put $1k deposit down for a black BRZ manual at Sydney dealer. Was told just last week about the price and that he could have it a month or so - he wasn't even asked to increase his deposit to $3k like a lot of people had also. But anyways he declined the offer as he is looking at buying a WRX now.

So if anyone ordered the above spec - you can expect your car a little sooner i guess.

Not happy everyone!! Just confirmed with my Dealer that ALL 86's from 1 October will NOT have a spare wheel or cover!! Just a can of 'goop' Not even a 'spacesaver'!!

Making enquiries now about whether a Corolla late model 16" 5-stud will fit the GT, not sure about the GTS tho!
