Waiting periods at Different dealerships

The car is a Orange GTS, which apparently has a huge wait on it. I ordered on the 25th of June.

I suspect he might be screwing me around to keep his sale, because I specifically put in the contract that I can pull out if the car isn't delivered by October.

If he's screwing me around and I have a 18 month wait, i'm going to be livid.

I have the same on order (orange GTS manual). Ordered 18th June. Last update from dealer was Sept build / Oct delivery, so your info sounds about right. Finger crossed.

Thanks @Nardi330 for that indication. so if my car is built by the end of this month i'll receive by 01/09/2012 or probably earlier since that's what the web tracking is tell me.

sounds about right! Cheers Nardi!

in theory this should be the case but there might be some unforseen circumstances (touch wood).

What your dealer said means nothing unless it's on the tracking app. I wouldn't go by what your dealer said. Do you have your user/pass for the tracking site?

Ordered 16th June (white GTS manual) and quoted sep build oct delivery like most other people here. Have my tracking number but status is planned production month: still to be confirmed. Anything can happen and I suppose you just gotta hope your dealer's quoted time is at least based on some sort of knowledge specific to him and the dealership (in my case Terry Shields Toyota Parramatta).

I was in the same boat @Isometric Bacon. I had asked a few times about the web access. I decided today that I would deal with it, called the dealer, gave them the "I'm the customer and if everything is ok with my order it shouldn't be a problem to give me information I need to log in" speech. I now have them.

I ordered an Orange GTS manual myself first week of June, and in the conversation today I was given the indication that it will probably be November build with maybe December, probably January Delivery. If this turns out to be the case I will be not very happy.

I ordered a GTS AT from the same dealer on 4th June. Was told it would be a June build and July delivery - then about a week later was told July build and August delivery (ETA: 25/8).

So yes 'anything' can happen.

Ordered in June and he told you it'd be built in June? Obviously I'm not surprised its been pushed back. I haven't seen any users on this forum get their cars built in the same month of ordering it.

I was debating whether to get AT or MT when the salesman showed me the incoming inventory - and the AT of the car I wanted was on the list (June build - July delivery). So I put my money down for that on the day. All I'm saying is that the car he showed me was probably already sold to someone else and he probably talked to his stock controller to secure me another one. Luckily I put my money down pretty early - there's no way they can pull off something like that now.

BTW how much did u pay for dealer delivery?

[Mr Franky]

You guys might be annoyed that you have been quoted Sept build, Oct delivery. You also might be annoyed that your tracking details don't update. I will tell you though you have it good. I changed my order at the start of May. I have been quoted Sept build, Oct delivery. Not only that but I haven't received my tracking details. So moral of the story, it could be a lot worse.

yea it could be worse you could be like me i havent ordered yet i cant fathom how long i'll have to wait

WA dealers don't use the customer tracking site unfortunately. Happy to be proven wrong, but pretty sure all the other WA people have been told the same.
