Finally had an email from Toyota saying our order is in process 🙌 

Ordered 16th September (1.8 TS Excel with pan roof)

Fingers crossed won't be long now 🙏

Now had another email from dealership to say car has been allocated a build slot and has an ETA to them of 04/12/24 😭 

Dealership told us at time of order that if we went for 1.8ltr it would be here by end of October beginning of Novemeber, so a bit annoying!

Another month of waiting.......

is it worth considering delaying delivery until January so that it becomes a 25 registered car & hence worth slightly more when you come to resell? (or do you want a Xmas present for yourselves?)

The dealer wouldn't love you but hey, ho ...

[trashman1965]

Would still be 74 until 1st March though. Minimal advantage really though between one reg and the next. It may be said by a dealer but depends on scenarios and how much they can make from telling you that there is.

[Heidfirst]

it would still be a 74 plate (unless private reg.) but it would be a 2025 registered car.

Depending upon mileage, condition etc. when it was resold it could potentially add a couple of £hundred.

I think I will take delivery of it when it (hopefully) arrives beginning of December. It is a little frustrating that it's delayed but i guess it's out of our hands once you place order and the dealer can only give you an estimate for eta.

I'm wondering if adding a pan roof was the reason for thr delay?

I ordered a 2.0 end of August. Was quoted jan/feb delivery but recently dealer advised ETA of 18th Nov. App currently shows it as built and in transit. We will see

I ordered in July and picked up 14th October - could have picked up previous week. I'd say your dealer is giving you a good date, especially if it's in transit. It actually could be in a holding area in Derby.

You might have got lucky & got a cancelled build slot.

Thats interesting. I also ordered a 2.0 at the end of August (juniper blue colour) and order form shows 3rd February 2025, and app shows progressing order still, glad to hear you will get it 3 months earlier.

[Debhammy]

Yay 🤗 app has finally changed to Build in Progress!

Have noticed under the car description bit on the app doesn't mention the panoramic roof though? It details the car we ordered and colour choice but not the roof?!

Hope this doesn't mean it's been incorrectly ordered.....

You could double check what's printed on your order sheet the dealer gave you.

I've just looked and the front page quotes it but the second page, with a section called, 'factory fitted options' doesn't 😲 

I think I'd better give our dealership a call to clarify!

[Debhammy]

Panic over! Dealership have confirmed my car definitely has a panoramic roof and, it will be getting built this week 🙌
