ZXClaire 2 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I've been through the hoops of exchanging my Auris for a new Corolla Icon Tech 1.8 😀 Apparently it's been built so I assume its in a car park near Derby. Does anyone know how long it takes to deliver the car to the dealer? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolando1 11 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Don't know the answer to your question but wanted to say congrats on your purchase. Keep us updated on how you get on with it once arrived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Catlover 711 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 How do you know it has been built???? Could it be the same person who told you that, who would have to be in the know, probably be able to tell you how long is normal for delivery to dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timh21 57 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Good choice, I picked up a New Icon Tech 4 weeks ago, from memory it took about 3 weeks from being told it was built, to Dealer phoning me to arrange collection Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did end up emailing the dealer who confirmed it's built and think they should get it by the end of the week. Fingers crossed eh? 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowstorm3611 0 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I ordered a Corolla excel on Friday. Does anyone know what the turn around time from order to delivery is? Feels like it’s going to take forever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feels like it’s going to take forever! No idea. The dealer is your expert and will tell you. Mine took 16 weeks, others got theirs in 6. It all depends on the model, any extra's, colour, and what the factory is producing at any given time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speak to your dealer, you should be able to track the Toyota journey from order/build/delivery, once the order has been placed/paid for etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZXClaire 2 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Well apparently it's due to arrive in the next couple of days. Then to hope the dealer is quiet and it can be ready to go at the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will want the car delivered ASAP so won't be holding onto it, they get paid on delivery 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timmon 308 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think sales must be quiet, if not the service dept. My dealer is contacting me constantly to discuss "My finance agreement". I am over half way through my PCP, and they want me to buy a new plate! With only 9K on the clock and lock down, it does not seem a viable option to buy a new car which is the same except for Android Auto which I don't use, and a new plate. So hopefully your dealer can turn it around quickly for you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really having a go at my dealer, they have always been excellent, which is why I bought from them rather than Mercedes, due to the superior sales experience from Toyota. It must be hard for the sales guys to hit targets right now, especially if the only USP is a new plate and Android Auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the sales guys pretty well and am sure they're not spinning a line. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parts-King 761 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not sure what the Scottish situation is but in Wales the showrooms are closed with only online sales Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deek 1 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 There was a lot of confusion initially in Scotland but dealers are allowed click and collect. Some offer unaccompanied test drives but others don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, it's been legally challenged in England that you CAN have accompanied test drives, but morally a lot don't want that, which is fair enough. We are doing click and collects etc, and have indeed sold a lot of vehicles, it's just the showroom is a changed environment now, not for the better either with people staying away, no TV, coffee etc, weird. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gray86 69 Posted Thursday at 12:57 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:57 PM I recall mine sat in a field near Cromford for about a week before it made it to the dealer. The MyT app allowed me to track its journey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZXClaire 2 Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM It arrived at the dealer earlier today. 🙂 Collecting it on Monday. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your new car should be with the dealership next week. Also, you’re better off getting it on or after March 1st because of the new 21 registration plate. Just renew your Auris insurance as normal and then swap over the details when you take delivery of your new Corolla. Simples! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
