Rav4 Estimated Delivery, etc

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 ...

This is becoming boring, how many posts have to say it doesn’t work that way? The VED is based on the list price at the point of delivery. You can argue interpretations until the cows come home but you will not change 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.

I'm not sure either Mike ... by the "grade is just a grade" argument, anyone collecting a MY22 car this month could be taxed on the basis of MY23 pricing since that is already in the price list? Who knows ...

Excellent let me know how you get on. Dealership can’t link my app until they have a vin apparently, pain!

I'm convinced some dealers just don't know how the order tracking works. When I ordered my RAV4, I confirmed the order over the phone and paid the holding fee and it appeared in the app within a minute.

My wife ordered a Yaris from a different dealer and after first telling her it would appear in the app as soon as the order was input, they then said it might take a couple of weeks, then we had exactly the same discussion about needing the VIN. How do you get a VIN until the car is in build?

A quick email exchange with Toyota Customer Services and it appeared in the app within 5 minutes, no VIN!

Another "delivery is still expected in September" email from my dealer. 

Shot one back, "if its a 12 week build/shipping process, they should be starting build in the next week to meet September" 

Not holding out much hope. Ordered on the 24th Dec 2021

If you are buying from a dealer you should be able to track the car as soon as the order is placed (almost), use the same email address you gave to the dealer on the on the MYT app, if you are buying via a lease arrangement or any thing that uses that system you will not be able to track the order.

How long after people got there VIN number it takes to get delivered? Mines due in under 3 weeks and I haven’t heard anything as of yet and the dealer who sold me the car seems to take about 1 month to reply to an email.

[ernieb]

I didn’t get a VIN number until I picked up the car.

I’m like a few other people on this where the MYT app hasn’t said that the order is placed and he will give me a VIN number to start tracking the build when he gets it.

OK, that's not quite right. The tracking from order to delivery is based on the order number. Your dealer should be able to set that up for you - you can't.

Subsequent use of the MyT app is based on the VIN number - which as Ernie, says, you probably won't get until you get the car (or, at least, it is at the dealership).

Are you buying the car under the lease system? If you are you will NOT get any information via the MyT app, you have to rely on the dealer.

I’m doing a PCP finance which I assume is the same as leasing?

I would have thought the PCP finance is a direct sale, as long as you are doing it with a Toyota dealer.

The MyT system works with the email address you gave the dealer and the order number, I take it you have created an account on the Toyota web site here.

Also you must use the same email address you gave the dealer.

My order appeared almost immediately, although I already had MyT set up for my C-HR so not directly comparable. I don't remember a significant delay on the C-HR though, although that was from stock and only took a month to turn up. It does seen to be down to the dealer though...

Yea, all that is done correctly! The dealer said it was was weird but showed me confirmation on the order through his system. The car is due 1st July and I’m just not holding much hope at the moment as I haven't heard of any update.

Well my went through the lease system and arrived around the expected date so you maybe surprised, in fact when I dropped off my old car I asked the sales person dealing with me if the car was there, he said no but they had one for another order if I wanted to see that (it was then the new 2022 model) while have a quick look around it, I noticed one of the colour I had ordered, you can guess the rest.

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.

It might just be an email, but is it too much to expect the proper use of grammar?

Standards are slipping all the time. The Daily Fail is a prime example as regards poor grammar in articles, spelling, etc .

No not lease, purchasing with pcp finance. Seems each dealer is different as to wether or not you get it linked 🤷‍♀️

I’m probably going to too, it’s due in a couple of weeks but now they are saying a 4 month delay! Ridiculous!! I was originally quoted 6 months when I ordered end of January.

You beat me to it, Adrian, it seems that all suppliers are in trouble, many appear to be worse off than Toyota.

[Pashley]

I’m currently on PCP with around 4.6k in equity so I’m tempted to just go through we buy any car and settle my finance and keep the equity to just buy a car out right and finally get out of PCP!
