Hi

It cost me just over $1100 for option pack one on the manual gxl update model.The only thing you get in option 1 for a manual is side curtain airbags.I could not justfy spending the money on ARB gear and not the extra safety gear.(hopefully we never have to use it).


Cheers Rob

Love to know waht option pack two costs

Option Pack 2 includes Option Pack 1(say $1500).

All that extra stuff for another $1000ish is a bargain.

PS - Leaving tonight for Booval Qld to get my 4.2 Litre Turbo Diesel Sahara tomorrow. Gee I'll miss the Commodore!!!

Woo Hoo & Hoo Roo

What sort of price do you guys reckon I could get a brand new current model VX turbo diesel for ?? Will there be any discounting in the lead-up to the updated model being released ??

Thanks & Regards

Are there any left in the country? I would think any new VX ordered now would be the new spec model.

Jeez fellas - can you PM me or tell us here who your dealer is? My melb. delaer thinks his throat's cut because I'm paying $66K for a VX drive-away! I will easily wait another few months for $6K!

Ouch

What is your stamp duty rates where you are.....can vary the "Drive Away price"........I would not think there would be many VX old specs if any

[Big Black Mariah Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Big Black Mariah]

$63K ex dealer + 2500 Tas stamp duty + 600 rego.

I was struggling with getting a good price on a diesel until I decided to speak to the fleet sales manager instead of the normal sales people which deal with the consumer market. FYI, I am purchasing my VX Diesel on a novated lease with a Silver fleet discount. However, I also gave my fleet status to many Sydney dealers, used 2 auction brokers and they all came back with bottom line prices much, much higher than the fleet sales manager at this one dealer I went to.

His first words were "I just care about getting the numbers". Of course he can give me a good deal because his performance metrics are aligned primarily to volume.

Anyway this was my story. The great thing is I didn't even have to negotiate anything with the fleet guy. He just calculated the numbers and said this is it 60,400 first go. So smooth compared to the complicated process of going through the people on the sales floor.

Anyway this is my advise, if you can get a fleet discount head straight to the fleet department of your local dealer

Yup
Fleet sales guys (and girls ), gotta love 'em
And good ones will often "borrow" non fleet buyers occasionally

I am just wondering if it is possible to get a price of $60,000 drive away for a VXD4D without being in a salary sacrifice situation. I have a station wagon which my company will not change even if I pay the difference.

So the new Prado will be in the garage most of the time except weekends and trips. My problem is that salary sacrifice is only really effective if you do more than 25,000km's per year. I think I will just buy it outright.

I have found that my local Toyota dealer has been very helpful and am now looking towards getting a good deal on a GX with option pack 2. He cannot give me any price yet on the option pack but he is aware I am after a fleet type discount. Should have a quote in one or two weeks.

Just for your info he said all delivery targets were still on track with no delays! Maybe they squeezed a few more D4D's on the ship. He was adamant. Crystal pearl still appears to only be available on the VX and Grande. Bugger.

I think salary sacrifice and fleet discounts are two different things. I could go in to any dealer right now and pay 60,000 for a vx just using the fleet discount and not salary sacrificing. The important thing is the fleet discount

My point is that you 'normally' only get fleet pricing if you are salary sacrificing a vehicle through a company that gets a fleet price discount.

Thats what I have been told in the past. If the vehicle isnt salary sacrificed they cannot offer fleet pricing.

One more thing, a toyota saleman told me today that heavy discounting was almost as good as fleet pricing anyway.
