GR86

[Delahorney]

2 up on auto trader for around the £40k mark. Be interesting to see if they sell for that.

All three now dropped 3-4K within the first week, and still no takers by the looks of it. Wonder what level they will settle at, and how many more will come on.
I missed out on the initial allocations, but would definately like one, and am keeping my eye on the prices/premiums being asked.
Quite happy to pay a small premium, but at nearly 30%, no way, as the market also agrees.
10%/£34k seems a more realistic figure imho, so will have to play a bit of a waiting game

Mines at dealer. All paid and signed for yesterday. Hoping once PDI is done I should be collecting Saturday. Can't wait

Don’t forget to post a couple of pics

The 3 advertised are private sellers.

Most people who want one will need to buy from a dealer to get some finance.

I'll guess as soon as one goes up on a dealer site for £35,995 itll sell instantly.

Shame finance rates have gone up though, £5000 down and £299 per month wont be available on a used purchase.

That's what the lucky buyers got from Toyota.

Have previously bought a few high value cars privately, and would rather deal with individuals rather than dealers, and the fact the car would literally have driven from the dealership to the new owners home, takes all the risk out, apart from making sure there is no finance on the car.
With cash waiting, it’s just a case of waiting for the right car/price to come on, and cease on the opportunity.

I have had my GR86 for 3 weeks , clocked up a 1000miles, been using all the revs.. tell you what its fantastic. Its just a laugh and in all the gears... its quick enough for a back lane too...

that diff, those tyres and the steering just make this car a joy on damp/greasy roads !

The wheels on the GR86, are they the same wheels that are on the GR Yaris?

Not exactly the same, but the design on the Yaris, Supra and GR86 are all very similar now.

Hopefully should be picking mine up at the weekend or early next week !

Think this is the second batch after the deliveries around Christmas

[MrsMiggins]

Fun times!

Mine is due to the dealer on the 20th. Few days at the detailer then picking it up in March.

[Mr-B]

Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday. The need to do a few things like sensors, changing some of the default settings that aren't available in the menus, etc and I need to finalise the PPF stuff. Hoping for a 1st March pick up.

[chopper602]

It's arrived! Couldn't resist popping to see it on the way home



Bit of a future garage pairing in a Lidl carpark earlier too (yeah it's a GT, like I used to have 12 or so years ago)!

Anyone considered importing one from Japan yet?
By my calculations you could import a used one for a little less/close to 30k GBP

Collected

I thought all the GR86's were sold but when I was killing time waiting for my car to be serviced I wandered past the main Toyota dealer at York and noticed they had a brand new one for sale in their showroom. A black exterior combined with a black interior and black wheels didn't really do it for me but a quick sit inside revealed a nice driving position and comfortable seats - it was also refreshing to see three pedals in the footwell!

The car was advertised at list price but I daresay anyone who's serious could probably negotiate a bit of a discount...

Link?

People looking to save 7 grand would be interested.

Hi.

My son told me about this car when he was having his GR Yaris checked.

I phoned them.
It's not for sale.

What's its status then? I admit I didn't speak to a salesman (because I wasn't in the market to buy it) but the car had a price next to it which also itemised the cost of some after-market options if you wanted them (dash cam, mud flaps, etc). Also, if a car's been sold - and is just in the showroom awaiting collection - it's normally locked to stop people getting in and having a poke around but it wasn't. So it certainly appeared up for sale to me!
