What's really important here is that you are satisfied with your purchase and that despite the unexpected financial additions you are content to pay the price you are paying. There will always be another 'deal' somewhere that is better than the one you obtained.....but also there are a considerable number of 'deals' that are equally welcomed by the purchaser that you wouldn't be happy to accept. Don't let the extra costs sour your purchase; be thankful you have the car you wanted, that you can afford to make the payments, and that you enjoy the driving experience. Peace of mind is a gift we should all cherish....and strive to obtain. 

Yes, that is right. I'm quite satisfied now. The car is fantastic. Driven 100 miles so far and the combined MPG has been 65! Really suprised. Even though its a HEV I can still drive it in EV mode for slower speeds.

 

So glad its finally here after waiting so long. Hope the rest of you waiting get yours soon!

When they become available to order again the will almost certainly be more expensive.

Having read the stories of delays I wasn’t hopeful about my Rav4 (phev dynamic premium, JBL and pano roof) I ordered it in October last year and it was due for an August 23 delivery.

I’d heard nothing at all from the dealer even after contacting them twice but I got a call from them yesterday saying it’s still expected in August maybe September, so things are either looking up for speeding up production or they are lying 🤞🏻😊

For much of the second half of last year (2022) production was curtailed or non-existent. But as far as I can tell, Toyota (Japan) haven't issued a monthly Production Plan since March this year. And that's a good thing since the monthly production plan apologises for adjustments and indicates which lines aren't running. So, it's beginning to look as though things are getting back on track ... 🤞

Hope so. I ordered a RAV4 PHEV in May 2022 and was initially told Feb 23, then April 23 and now I'm being told October or November. The dealership admitted they had no idea and were basically making the delivery dates up. On the bright side, dealer did say my order was likely to be converted into the Sport GR model 😁

Hello all,

Long time lurker here and now have a practical question about my order. Ordered a Rav4 PHEV '22 September and have been following the progress of the order using the My T app. The app was showing the order and that it was being processed. There was only a symbol of the car and you could not see any specs. Don't have a screenshot unfortunately.

However, today when I looked at the app, it now shows a picture of the car, matching what we ordered and also the specs below. Still states it's being processed but this definitely a change from what the app was displaying before.

This gives me a little hope that perhaps it is moving along in the queue.

Anyone else seen this and if you did, what happened after this and how long did it take for the car to go into production?

I sort of given up hope that we would see the car this year but this again gives me a little hope that we might.

Thanks in advance,

LD

I had the same thing happen with my app this last week, I’m hoping it means production is about to begin.

Same here. "Coloured in" picture of car compared to previous skeleton outline plus more detail on spec of car.

PHEV Design ordered September 2022, quoted delivering July 2023.

There was a '23 plate GR Sport in the village today. Must say it looked very pretty.
I was going to hang around to see if I could ask the owner what he originally ordered and when but thought better of it in the end.

In my experience, dealers usually do not prep the cars and apply paint protection correctly, it is all about do it as quick as possible. I was offered paint protection on a 4 year old car for £300 (from Toyota dealer), when I asked will they tend to all paint chips, strip old protection and do the paint correction before applying ceramic coating, the answer was no, we will just apply it on top. A friend of mine used a ceramic coating specialist and it took two days to prep and apply on a brand new Ford Kuga.

Well, just collected my Rav from the automotive guys and I have to say I'm very pleased with the result. A somewhat dullish factory finish is now gleaming, and I also had the plastics treated. The first time it was washed from new, hubby wasn't overly impressed with the finish, and I was concerned the plastics would dull over time. It was with them 2 days and this is how it looks now.....after driving home down the motorway....in the rain. Well, I'm impressed

Can I ask what details the selling dealer gave you to put in the app to track delivery?

I think they just need the order number. My app shows in "My Garage" my owned car (current car Prius) and my purchased car with order number (Rav PHEV). The latter has the tracking tool, which over the past 9 months has not moved from phase 1=processing order.

As above, orders are tracked by order number but you need your dealer to set it up for you - you can't do that for yourself. You need a My Toyota account; your dealer needs to associate your order with your My Toyota account ... 🙂

Thanks for the replies

On Saturday ordered a Suzuki Across in silver, this morning I have received an email from Suzuki my order has left the factory, I am a bit shocked with the efficiency. I am provisional expecting the car in mid October.

My car was ordered in October last year, expected delivery is next month in August, the dealer called and said it’s now expected August/September so it’s looking good.

The MyT app changed a couple of weeks ago to show an image of the car instead of just an outline, does anyone have any idea when the app will show it being in production?

I’ve had dreams that it’s gone into production and even left the factory and it’s spectacularly disappointing when you wake up and realise it was just a dream 😂

MyT does not fully work. Well this is what my dealer told me when I was told on MyT that the car was at the dealership. It was a full 2 weeks after before they received it and probably another week to get it ready for me.

Yeah, I second that. Ordered my RAV4 PHEV in May 2022 and the dealer told me that it's being built now with a delivery date around October this year. Both MyT app on my phone and logging into My Toyota web page still shows "Processing Order" status.

[Renquist]

Hmm if the times are correct that means mine will be going from the revised August/September to a December delivery, unless dealers have differing delivery schedules/build slot allocation.

Had an email this morning the vehicle is on its way to our Suzuki dealer ?

Guessing it was cars ordered for stock and the slowdown in the market freeing up availability. Are you going to wait for new September reg to take delivery? 

[Oscarmax]

All Suzuki are stock models only there is no factory options, I never worry about new reg plates, I need to get used to the vehicle get a towbar fitted and put some miles on it before towing.

I am always looking to future residuals, especially when so close to a reg change. Unless the dealer is offering additional incentives to get it as sale for this quarter……

Here she is. Original price honoured.

They wrangled it that the registration price under £40,000 so I didn't have to pay the extra VAT in year 2 thru 5. What a result!

A 2023 rav 4 at a 2021 price. 👌

 

If you're still around, What spec changes did you end up with I've been on the same journey ordered Dynamic with premium pack in Dec21, delivery finally due Tuesday 2nd August 23!  Just not sure what I'm going to get now 😀
