So they put Australian compliance plates on in Japan prior to shipping?
Why then doesn't it come up on my tracker? it has build date as Dec 2012, but Compliance date has no data yet. Don't really see a point of having this field if compliance and build date will be the same! |

There would be no point compliancing a car 2012 if it hadn't even left Japan before 1/1/13. I spoke with TMCA 2 weeks ago and was 'unofficially' told mine would be 2013, but I have heard the same since from 3 Dealers - no idea what the actual 'cut-off' date was in December The VIN on your tracking will update shortly for you, it runs a week or so behind the main TMCA system All I have to do in the next week is find out what ship mine will be coming down on |

Ask your Dealer what info he has, but generally as soon as the order is placed it will add 3 months - my original order is now 2 days short of 6 months ago, just a GT and NOTHING!! Not planned for either Jan or Feb, so much for the Chairman of Toyota Sales & marketing saying 2 months ago 'as little as 6 weeks wait for a GT' If nothing is happening, ring around various Dealers, like for instance ring the Toyota Dealer in Dubbo, Wagga etc and simply ask what they could have, you will be surprised! Get the phone numbers off the net by simply googling 'Toyota Dubbo' or 'Toyota Wagga' etc - that's how I scored my GTS MT You will find a lot of guys have done the 'ring around' and hit the jackpot!!

It's NOT the Dealers' fault for the delays, it's the constant LIES told by Toyota. To have 2 State employees tell me to my face 'all orders go to Japan in order of receipt and customer orders are preferenced over 'Dealer stock'' is just total bullsh*t!! |

Australian Compliance plates are attached IN JAPAN and not when the car gets to Australia Will be interesting to see what yours says because to me it's totally unfair that a car that would not be landed into Australia should have 2012 compliance, a year old before it's landed |

Nice drive to Gatton today to deliver the personal plates to the Dealer - VERY friendly bunch of guys, stayed around an hour or so, foundout mine will be on the 'Augustus Aguila' out of Yokohama but can't find any ship of that name!!
Great drive back via Esk, Somerset Dam and Kilcoy, winding twisting roads, mate drove back and never got out of 3rd for maybe 7-8km having so much fun!! [Least I was more placid on the way down to Gatton!!] 4-5 weeks and I should have it!! |
