Corolla - UK delivery/lead times, etc

[barethgatty]

My 1.8 HB Icon Tech went into Build on Monday, I believe it's generally a couple weeks until delivery from this stage?

Back-end is still predicting 5th July. Ordered 12th March so happy with that, dealer predicted July/August.

Mine was done this month:

• In build  - Tuesday 7th 
• In transit - Friday 10th 
• Delivered - Wednesday 15th
• Collected - Friday 17th 

End to end it was 10 days. I would say 5th July is a good forecast you probably won't see it change much.

Mine was built 23/5, it has been sitting at the Hub in Derby since then, from interrogating the back end looks like it is currently on a lorry.  Just waiting for the dealership to confirm it has arrived.

Eurgh that's rough! I wonder why it's taken so long?
I know mine's taken longer due to the dealer dragging their heels with the handover, but even so, it took about 8 days from build to delivery at the dealership!

I can only assume logistics needing certain number of cars going to same area.

Either that or post manufacture remedial work 😬

Mine is now registered, waiting to have tow bar fitted and I am collecting it 2/7/22

Scary thing is when I ordered mine early February the list price was £27345. It is now £28855!! That’s a bit of a jump & no 0% finance either.

Finally here! Love it! 

Ordered 4th Feb. (1.8)

Looks great. 
I rang the dealer yesterday to get an update and they said it’s going to be the later part of July but could be sooner. 
ordered 4th April.

Judging by the last couple of deliveries from here it seems like the delivery Times got significantly reduced ? 
I ordered mine early May and got told delivery late November …. Should I expect it earlier maybe?

[Notfer]

Have finally collected it. What a stunning colour! I mean I knew it was gorgeous anyway, but on the flesh, wow!

Mid Feb for me and it's still processing, the dealer got an update to say it would come in about 2 weeks early (so early August now). I've seen that someone else on here who ordered in mid/late January picked up a TS GR 2 weeks ago.

Obsidian blue, I’ll upload a pic shortly. The flake in it is the most I’ve ever seen and I’ve had some decent colours/paints over the years

I think it all depends on the dealer. 
I think most of the bigger ones have the cash flow to pre order cars for stock. They choose the more popular cars to preempt sales. 
This is a smart way of doing it because the what times are less and therefore more likely to get a sale. 
Just my thought on delivery times.
