MY CAR IS HERE!!!

Just came off the truck, the dealer txt'd me a small video and I jumped into my car and drove straight there.

They have the car, but not the cable or laptop yet. I at least go to sit in it and start the car.

Ill post some pic's later, already burned through my lunch hour and have to get back to work.

EDIT:
Here is a picture. All that has been done so far is to move it to the back lot away from public eyes.

This guy in Switzerland has the plaque with 1/90 but when I checked mine there wasnā€™t anything.. added at a later date maybe?

Apparently we don't get that in the UK. Red interior seems to have been a choice for white and black cars in other regions too.

I have to admit I'm surprised by the regional differences, but I guess that answers itself. Its about regions.

I've sent that to my dealer to ask. He's been on it with most things so hopefully will be able to get an answer.

Wtf is that dodgy warehouse lol

Did you notice that the bottom of the rear window gathers water and dirt quite easily?

A lot like the mkiv, hopefully without the rust issues

Let me know what the dealer says about the carbon trim please mate

Not too bad of a dodgy warehouse lol. It's a workshop at the dealer which is mainly used for storage of cars at the moment which is locked securely when not in use. They put the tyres behind to make sure any cars being moved keep well away. There are about 4 other cars in the workshop too.

Didn't notice anything with the windows, but a hell of a lot of dirt inside the boot shut areas above the rear lights. Will be a nightmare to keep clean I bet.

He's off today but said he will check about the trim once he is back.

Yes, I have noticed that. Its a pain the ass to clean out.

Luckily, you should never have to worry about rust! The trunk is made from some kind of composite.

He sent me a pic today confirming there's no plaque on the car, so I asked if Toyota UK are able to provide the A90 Edition plaque to be added in, but not there from factory.

So I've heard from my dealer that they can't release the car to get the paint protection film and car ceramic coated until they've done their pre-sale procedure. They don't have any of the kit to do this as the software is different from any other car they have (ie BMW) and are waiting for Toyota to send the stuff out, so I'm waiting on that now.

He got back to me again, said there's no option to order the plaque/badge and there's nothing in the car to install. Just looks like we don't get it at all...

Unbelievable, maybe itā€™s a LHD only thing

apart from the paint and interior Iā€™m not really feeling the exclusivity of this car

I sent my final payment (Uggh banks why are you limiting me to Ā£20k a day transfer???) today and queried about the laptop/cable to get the car out of transport mode.

Here's the reply:

We havenā€™t received the techy bits no. But we have been contacted today by Snapon.
They have booked to be here on the 30th to commission it so it must be imminent!!

That's a bit tight, but it sounds like the PDI only takes a couple of hours. But why are Snapon doing it?

Oh question for all the UK buyers. What was the final price you paid? Did you get charged for paint? I thought it was included in ours and we could choose whatever colour we wanted at no extra charge, but I don't remember what it said on the order page when we ordered our cars.

I took the gap and paint/wheel insurances so my total was:

OTR Price of the car = Ā£54,000
Insurances = Ā£1,572
Paint = Ā£710 (This, I thought, was included in the price but sadly not!!)
Minus your deposit of Ā£1,000
= Ā£55,282
