Rav4 Estimated Delivery, etc

[Ex RO]

I ordered a PHEV Design spec 17th Jan this year, and at the time the dealer gave late July as delivery. I mailed him a week or two ago and he still says 27th July. So in that case it must already be on the way from Japan. After reading some of your posts I admit to being rather sceptical! - but fingers crossed.

It's an NFU deal, so I think is classed as fleet.

So it will be classed as a lease deal, so there is no other way to check it out for sure but if you can find someone who ordered their within a few weeks of yours  it may give you an idea of a likely delivery time as they will get the My-T info.

If you start reading this thread from around page 9 you can also play the game of tracking possible ship carrying your car.

Ordered my RAV4 PHEV dynamic premium mid January and picked it up last week from dealers.

Thanks Bill, well that's encouraging. Hope you like it!

Cheers, that will while away the hours!

MyT app has linked and now showing as build in progress! Very excited, I’ve scrolled back through this thread and can’t see anything about how long it takes to deliver once built, anyone know? Thanks

It should be about 12 weeks from 'build in progress' to 'on your drive' - maybe a little more; maybe a little less. (Build itself only takes about 2 days!)

Picked up my Dynamic FWD with JBL & PVM this morning. Has been available for a week or so, but have been out of the country. Ordered 04/11/21.

Poured on way home, so can say the wipers work well.

Very nice, same as mine but I opted for the other grey. Wanted black but they dont do the Dynamic in black.

Mash, out of interest, is your order for a PHEV and if so when did you place the order?

No it’s for hev, is that what you call a normal hybrid? I placed the order mid November but we added pan roof, jb sound system and steps etc. Not sure if that made a difference but it’s been such a long wait and I’m starting to question my purchase as a result (I’m sure I will love it when it gets here, just lost the magic a little due to a long wait).

I’m also without a car now as I sold my Corolla privately and got a much better deal than trade in price, relying on the hubbys bm 1series to get us to Cornwall and back and do an airport run with suitcases is not ideal, thought we would have a big booted car by now 😭

Mash,

I ordered my Hev Dynamic at the start of November with the panoramic roof too and i've come to the decision that it's the roof that's delayed the delivery as other orders without it seem to be coming in earlier, if it's of any help my leasing company have told me that it's due into dealers in the middle of this month, I sure hope they're right this time as it's been put back twice!

Oh wow! If mine comes this month it would solve so many problems, make me so happy and stop me cancelling the order 😂, here’s hoping 🤞

How would cancelling help?

I just keep wondering if I should cancel it  and look for a second hand cheaper car. 9 months is a long time to overthink things and make you question yourself!

If it was me I’d sit tight and not put myself through the further misery of buying an unknown car, history etc.

Same, dynamic hev, with sunroof and JBL. Ordered 24th Dec. Was told Sept for delivery so I'm checking every day to see if the build has started! 

If yours has just started build, it's 12 weeks to delivery!

September (ish).

Yes this was the discussion we had over the weekend. I’ve always had new cars for this reason, the hubby agrees after just spending 2k fixing his 1series!

Yep I reckon end of September for me

Just a thought. I ordered a Design PHEV in Jan, and delivery quoted end July. I wonder if, by specifying the 'basic' model, delivery is sooner than for Dynamic & Dynamic Premium which will probably have more components, especially electronic ones. Some of you seem to have been quoted even longer delivery times than me for these higher spec models.

I did have to forgo the factory fitted tow bar as they couldn't get the wiring loom for it - wonder if I could get just the tow hitch fitted by the dealer as I mostly tow a small trailer - and only on 'private roads' of course - and then have the electrics done when available. 

I heard recently of some cars (not Toyota) being held up as part of the indicator system was made in Ukraine.

Not a hope in hell - I certainly wouldn’t if I was a dealer. It could be aiding and abetting misuse and doubt it is legal….. 

However on a more positive note I noted yesterday that Burrows Doncaster have a plentiful supply of used RAV mk 5’s and a new Dynamic PHEV in the showroom.

End of July is a pipe dream I think

You order a PHEV or a HEV?
