Not Happy Toyota ! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I signed a preorder in early March for a GTS manual. I was told it would be a July build and August delivery. Now it's pushed back to August build and September delivery!
Tonight I noticed a GTS manual for sale on Carsales! What's the point in taking preorders if there not going to fill them first ??? I've made a commitment to a car I haven't seen or driven for no reward !
Toyota Not Happy!!!

You sure? There's no GTS manuals up there now.

Each dealer gets a certain quota. If a dealer you didn't order from decides to put one on carsales then that's their business.

Im exactly in the same boat as you. exact time frames.
march pre-order
june build - july delivery pushed out til august build sept delivery.

Pre-order seems to be a load of sh*t for some people.

Cynosure · 07-03-2012, 07:15 PM

Toyota are trying the same s#%t with everyone: people have Pre ordered in good faith, but Toyota are facilitating a form of queue jumping that is VERY unethical.

Any 86 offered for sale at the moment is an 86 that rightfully belongs to to a Pre Orderer.

Wake up Toyota or this will bite you big time.

Welcome to Toyota!!!

I had a similar experience and now I am not going to buy the car until one is physically ready to be delivered. Not interested in people taking my money (deposit) and then giving me reasons why they can't deliver the car by the agreed date.

I believe in the next 6 months there will be plenty of cars on carsales so I'd rather buy one straight away, than wait and hope.

Subaru might be different, don't know yet.

If it’s any consolation, I really feel for you guys. Talk about a kick in the teeth. Just crazy that Toyota would treat you guys so disrespectfully.

Car companies in Australia are obviously receiving far too many benefits from both current and existing corporate welfare policies if they can’t even organise a tuckshop queue.

crouchy35 · 07-03-2012, 07:52 PM

Supply and demand ya bunch of girls. They have the supply, we are providing the ridiculous demand.

They can do whatever they want and at the end of the day, we'll still buy an 86. Within reason, Toyota are well within their right to do what THEY want with THEIR stock.

Heres a question....
Have you signed a contract based on a guaranteed delivery time?
- If so, ask for your money back.
- If not, cry me a river.
- Alternatively, see if you can leverage your position to get a good deal on a Prius?

karlos13 · 07-03-2012, 08:00 PM

Crouchy - you are a bit of a douche ... if you take offence cry me a river.

First of all, i placed my order and was just past the first two rounds of sales. I placed a pre-order down as i was under the impression it was the faastest way to get what i wanted. This was at the end of may before sighting and price.

Istill don't even have a production date, yet i have found two examples of my car online and only started searching yesterday (they were sold, but literlally hours before i called).

I am in the process of drafting a letter to both fair trade and the ACCC on the "pre-order" practice when pre-order does not give you any queue position.

if anyone has other examples feel free to let me know.

to be honest this experience has soured the joy of getting a new car

czar07 · 07-03-2012, 08:03 PM

i dont know why you guys are attacking Toyota. Its the dealers who are giving you the wrong dates.

Type[R]+ · 07-03-2012, 08:03 PM

I think it's the deposit that is the painful part. I've ordered a few new cars and had to wait, never had to put a deposit down before.....
