Just had the email from My Toyota, but the dealer didn't mention it when exchanging emails yesterday.

Track your order on My Toyota

Processing order Build in progress Left the factory In transit Arrived at retailer

 

I going abroad for next week for a fortnight (assuming we get thru Birmingham Airport & the flight is not cancelled) so looks like end of June delivery for me.

Ordered HEV FWD Dynamic with JBL & PVM option on the 4th November.

Dynamic with extras is over the dreaded £40k RRP now, so are you having to pay the extra duty payment on it? 

[Vainona70]

Will only be picking the RAV4 up at the end of June, but assume I'll have to pay the higher rate from year 2.

While the My Toyota email said the car was at the dealer, I'm not sure it is yet. Dealer said they are expecting it this week.

If you pick it up before the end of the month, make sure they pay the part month VED duty (which they can do) other wise you could loose up to month off this years tax as it will be taxed from the beginning of June.

Did they also keep it on the lower car tax rate, as the last list price should have been below £40,000 as long as you didn't have to many extras.

 

Yes, the price match was guaranteed with Toyota back in the earlier part of the year.

Well under the £40k including extras 😊👍🏻

That's not the way it works unfortunately but because the Black Edition has not had any price rises since October, that is the list price that will count to decide if you are over the £40,000, that's how I understand it anyway.

I ordered my Excel in October the price was well under £39,000 at the time but the list price was over by the time I got it and that's what counts. The dealer has to inform the DVLA of the list price at the time the car is registered and extras are included.

As has been explained before the VED is based on the list price at delivery, NOT when ordered or with allowance for any discounts. If the list price is even a penny over £40k that is tough. 

[Yugguy1970]

Which is a total con frankly.

[Flatcoat]

It is the legislation and nothing to do with Toyota, the dealer, the salesperson or anyone else. If you want someone to blame then look towards all the greenies and those jealous of anyone with more money than they have and who regard cars as targets of abuse. Saying it is a ‘con’ is pointless. If it comes to it taxation is also simply legalised extortion.

It’s been the case forever that the road tax is calculated at point of sale/first registration. Nothing to do with any dealer other than they have to supply the registration data.

Let me quickly say that I am in no way supporting this so called "luxury" car road tax, but I understand why the government use list price at registration as the point of applicability, as it simplifies the imposition of this road tax premium. If it was based on the sale price it would be subject to all kinds of variables.

However, what peeves me (like many other government taxes) is that they haven't increased the £40,000 trigger since it was introduced in April 2017. So 5 years of inflation etc are completely ignored. But that's nothing new with our taxation system.

Agree however that applies to many taxes, not least of which income tax thresholds.

@ Mash781 any update from Letchworth regarding your vehicle?

Hi sorry just heard back from them. They are now saying 19th September 😭 but it’s locked in and showing as ‘production’ so can’t go back any further, not sure what that means exactly but fingers crossed it’s being built!?

Still not been linked after speaking to customer services. I’ve now asked the dealer if he can do it. Yours must be in production too as you ordered three days before us. Perhaps it hasn’t updated on the app yet?

I hope to see the car in 'production' too. Toyata UK has told me the ETA provided by the dealership, is the latest information I can get from them. I've raised a case with Toyota UK to get them to check with the factory in Japan directly.

Because the Black Edition is no longer available, that was the list price back in September and they honoured it.  The price I paid is the list price Toyota will advise the DVLA about (I checked with them).

The guys that ordered and received the Black Edition are lucky.  The guys that ordered cars that are still made I.e. Dynamic, Excel etc., may not be so lucky.

Try to raise a case with Toyota UK, and request for them to link your order onto the app. You will need to provide your order ID and email address.

Though the current price list gives separate pricing for MY2022 cars and MY2023 cars. So those waiting for a MY2022 car should find, just as with the Black Edition, the list price of their car is now fixed ...

Very pleased with this after four month wait from order to delivery, Dynamic Premium PHEV. Great timing to save on petrol, reliably delivers all my local runs on home charge up to 50 miles.

There is no maybe about it, you have to pay the current list price of the 2022 model.

[Adaml99]

Ordered early October and received middle of May. It’s the Hybrid Dynamic (JBL PVM). 

After a few weeks of ownership, I’ve got to say, I !Removed! love it! So glad I went for a Toyota after several months wondering if I made the right choice. 

Really happy about the fuel economy. My average is 52MPG over the past month, but on some days when I drive like a granny, I can get close to 60MPG. Pretty handy given how crazy it cost to fill the tank up nowadays!

I also have the premium pack so it has the moonroof. I didn’t order this - it just came with it. Not sure why, but I’m not complaining! Maybe Toyota made a mistake…

If I’m being super picky, the things I don’t like are;

- the infotainment system, it feels really dated

- no way of changing the brightness of the interior lights

- the lane assistance doesn’t work very well

- speed limit indicators are not very reliable

- mobile app could be much better

- car key looks cheap

- opening and closing windows on the key needs to be programmed by technician

- no kick feature to open boot

- The chrome areas on the back would look better if they were black

Enjoy your new RAV4 when you get it! You’ll love it.

Not sure this will apply. Unless grades are actually discontinued, like the Black Edition, I would imagine that to Government, a Dynamic is a Dynamic, an Excel is an Excel, etc, no matter what the model year is.
