MR2 mk2 then ST205 is my car history. ;-)
Both JDM. Both amazing cars. Might get a late 90's MR2 imported if I can find the space. I'd love another, especially considering how much you can do to the 3SGTE engine. I miss my old 1990 G-Limited I had for a couple of years. So much fun.
From what I have been told, some guys from SnapOn have to do the PDI. The dealership themselves won't have been trained to do it.
They are coming on the 30th to do my car and Ill be picking her up at 2pm Monday 2nd.
Curious. I attended Thruxton, but today I got an email asking me to allocate the dealer I wanted to take my test drive. Sorta funny when my car has already been delivered to the dealer.
I also chased over the Supaguard. Reply from the dealer was:
"My manager is very keen for this car to be as...
Man you people and your nice car history.
1988 Fiat Panda (Sold)

1990 Toyota MR2 (Sold)

Yup, also worth checking with the ceramic guy if they will conflict in some way. I.e. the sealant from Toyota stops a ceramic coat from working or stains the paint. If it comes to it, ill ask Toyota not to do the outside and just get the interior done, then go to the 3rd party for the ceramic...
OH!! I think you just saved me £800 scoates. I'd booked someone in to do a ceramic coat and interior, but now I realise i have paid Toyota to do it!
I was at work and quite busy when the details for the insurances came through. Took a glance, roughly did the numbers in my head and thought OK...
Yeah, exactly the same here. Payment must be completed 48 hours before you can get the car. Also the same with can't handover on the 1st. I think Toyota have decided 2nd is release day for everyone.
There are two things the dealer needs to truly unlock the car:
Specialist cable and laptop software to take it out of transport mode, supplied by BMW.
The VIN has to be sent to an office in Germany to unlock the navigation maps. Apparently they locked to each cars vin. Guess that's something to...
When I went to visit my car, the dealer asked if I wanted finance. Nope, I'm paying cash. Ah ha the look on his face! Scruffy dressed 38 year olds in jeans and a hoody rarely drop £55k on a car so it caught him by surprise.
We sorted the final price and arranged the bank transfer details last...
This is what my dealer offered:
Gap insurance (3 YR) RRP £499
Smart Insurance (3 YR) RRP £499

Tyre & Alloy Insurance...
I sent my final payment (Uggh banks why are you limiting me to £20k a day transfer???) today and queried about the laptop/cable to get the car out of transport mode.
Here's the reply:
We haven’t received the techy bits no. But we have been contacted today by Snapon.
They have booked to be...
