I have placed my order with the dealer for an Excel Hybrid Metal Stream with Premium Pack, roll on test drive at dealership when available and seeing my car in the flesh January 2017.

What country you in? Not on sale in UK till Oct.

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Yep UK Down South, placed the order with the dealer and I think it can be inputt into the system but will not get an order number till 3rd October and paid my £1,000 deposit.

Excellent news, I assume if for some reason you were not happy with the test drive they would refund you?

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Hi Rob,
TBH I don't think I'll be disappointed with the C-HR test drive as I've tested the Auris Hybrid and found that absolutely fine, TBH anything's better than the Nissan Leaf I own.

Our local Toyota dealer is taking deposits, and offering refund if not what you expected once seen. So WIN WIN all round.

Managed to order mine on 4 Sept, with estimated delivery on 5 Jan.
How accurate that date is I don't know and I certainly wouldn't put any money on it.
Had a Prius for the last 11 years and it still runs great, a shame to get rid of it really but there are a lot more toys in this one.

Hi Rick,
How strange you could order yours that early hmmm.

 

[Rikpo]

Yes, just went in to make general enquiries and was told that I could order there and then.
Whether or not the order is actually sent on before October is anyone's guess though.

Rick.

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Went in 19th September and was told it could be ordered on the order system and was told may not get any information for a couple of months which seems strange unless they get order confirmations on the 3rd October when pre order is supposedly launched.

 

[Toyota_Fan]

How funny get this today stating you can now preorder I did mine back September but only finance is 5.9%.

I note the prices have been released for PCP by Access Toyota and some brokers are offerring PCH too. It would be worthwhile to see what sort or deals people have managed before I place my own order. It will helo other too.

 

[Rob]

CarWow will also be worth checking when the details are released there

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Carwow have released the C-HR but prices are the same as retail.

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Had a long conversation with one of the Toyota guys there and was told that Dealers C-HR demos should be coming through from 15th November and Customer orders from the 3rd January.

 

[Yro]

Those of you who've ordered already, what kind of deals have you managed to negotiate? I would expect with it being in the pre-order phase that negotiations are limited.

At 5.9% APR on PCP I may have to look elsewhere. A quick quote from my local dealership brings up the following:

C-HR Icon Hybrid w/ Metallic Paint
List price - £24,139.99
Deposit - £4,500
36 Payments - £299.03
Final Repayment (GFV) - £11,677.50

(Total charge for credit - £2,802.59 :shock

If I do go decide to go ahead I'll be ordering before a test drive to ensure delivery as early as possible. As others have said, my dealer is taking orders with a deposit of £1,000 ("after agreeing terms and price") with the option of a full refund after test driving

 

[Toyota_Fan]

My order is shown as full price at the moment but expect that to change when I have to go in to finalize things as I'm paying outright not 5.9% :S

 

[Rob]

Carwow have released the C-HR but prices are the same as retail.

Yeah, I've found you need to wait a bit after launch until you see offers, and then it depends how much demand / supply there is.

 

[Toyota_Fan]

Mines on pre order I'm sure I'll get a great deal on accessories when they release them once car has arrived which I find stupid.

Was wanting to order a Hybrid Dynamic Premium through company car leasing scheme with Lex but they have just quoted me a ridiculous £570 per month contract hire (48 months with servicing). That's £100 more than I expected. Groan. A Golf it will have to be.
