Usually a yaris or corolla as they are not in such high demand - thay may have an old starlet with rotten arches and the sills falling off

Starlet? Gosh that got me thinking. The Starlet came well after my father's first Toyotas. I learned to drive in a Starlet!

The last courtesy car our family had from Toyota ( I was in my teens then ) was a Cressida estate. That'd have been '79. There was a delay on my father's car arriving from the docks in Dublin ( for some reason they used to ship new cars from Japan to Ireland back then ) so they gave him the Cressida for a week. I just remember it being massive ( at least back then it was .) A new Corolla 1.3L saloon in 1979 cost £3499. Incidentally:

His first car a 1.1L Corolla 3dr in 1973 cost £1300

His 2nd, a 1.2L Corolla Saloon in 1975 cost £1999

His 3rd, a 1.2L Corolla Saloon in 1977 cost £2600

and his 5th, a 1.6L Corolla Liftback, cost £5050 in 1981.

You had to buy a new car every 2yr back then if you didn't want rust. 🤣

Why don't you ask them? Nobody on here will know what car you will be allocated

Can i ask them if i can choose the loan car or cars they're offering, or is that being a bit greedy? what you think?

[Cyker]

No harm in asking. At worst all they can say is no!

[bathtub tom]

My local (non Toyota franchise) used to offer either a KIA Pride, or if you didn't want that, a Fiat Panda 750.

Sorry, the KIA's been taken!

Remember back in 1996 when I bought a new Corolla 1.3, I arrived at the dealer to collect the car only to find it wasn't ready as they were having trouble fitting the alarm. So they gave me the sales manager's Carina E 2.0 Executive for a couple of days til they sorted the alarm out.

I never had a courtesy car from a dealer as I never owned a brand new car privately but here it is my funny experience. 
I had to give my two year old company Prius back in exchange for a new Prius plus in 2014, however when I gave my current Prius 12 reg they pass onto me even older 2010 Prius with 110k miles on the clock and not in great shape. I was furious, but surprisingly later that day they had called me to apologise and asked me to bring back the old Prius and that a brand new plus is waiting for me 😂👍, they had been done some major mistake and I was given a car that was about to be taken to a car auction for sale 😂

The good bit was that then I tried an older hybrid with high miles for a first time and to realise that the older hybrids drives as good as brand new ones.👍

Be careful what you wish for, many years ago when our Peugeot 108 was having some warranty work done,  we were given another Peugeot 108, but is was festooned with dealer stickers about deposit/finance offers and the inside was like our garden at the moment, covered with leaves etc. Thankfully they did the job the same day and when they rang I couldn't get down to dealership fast enough!

Just phoned them and was told I'll be an manual Aygo 😅

That takes me back, my first Toyota was a 1975 '1,000' before the starlet was made!

Yeah. My first was a corolla 1.6L auto lift back! 

[Big_D]

My first Toyota was a 1987 Corolla 1.3 Hatchback. Canary yellow in colour with red seatbelts

Anyone know how to i can check how much fuel the Aygo (loan car) has left? my Yaris was just a button on the steering wheel i pressed and could get it up but not on the Aygo? it shows 2 bars but i wanna know exactly how much range it has left.

[Mojo1010]

Ask in the Aygo forum.

At my last service I got a Rav4 as a loaner.

If you book far enough in advance you can often get a loan car you request by telling them you're thinking of changing your car. I've tried a few cars this way.

Do they not charge you?

Can we take it for 500 miles trips? Ideally the loan car is the same class as our car. If we bring old land cruiser, we should get land cruiser too

When my car goes in for service I have a choice, have it picked up or get a loan car.  The cost is the same,  £15.

As it is less than a day I think a normal day's drive would be fair.   If you were planning a long journey  it's only common curtesy to tell them.

If you have a Land Cruiser and need a Land Cruiser then work around the issue.

Do they give you a choice or you tell them you want a loan car?

My choice.  Of course it depends on availability.   I only need to book a few days ahead.  Servicing is upto +1,000 miles and one month.

A car is £15 for the insurance.   If they collect you are without the car for a full day.
