If your local dealer has moved to their new pricing strategy then it will be RRP plus about 2K non negotiable. Cheaper on average but no haggling, just a fixed price on the road. I think the GXL is now $63 drive away, no deals, no dearer, just the same price to everyone.[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

Do you mean that the new one will be $65k drive away or the RRP which is about $65k then plus another $2k. I am getting prices right now on a new one, best deal so far is $63k on road including towbar if no trade in.Originally posted by Symo View Post
I was not aware that a new one is coming out so I am now stumped whether to wait for a run out deal or buy the new one.
I usually try to avoid buying new models and motors, I prefer a tried and tested car at a lower price so will probably do that.Last edited by ozimacca; 27-05-2015, 03:15 PM.Comment

I hear that the new Hilux will have 3.5T towing capacity. Not sure what the GCM and GVM is going to be but hope that it is better than the PX Ranger's supposedly 3.5T towing capacity where you can only tow 3.5T if there is nothing in or on the ute.

Not likely. The Utes are made the same way as before so the laws of physics can't be broken.Originally posted by amts View Post
Unless these Utes turn into 4T trucks they'll always contain a compromise.[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

$63,000 for a Prado GXL D4D is expensive. Around 7% price increase vs. what can be reasonably negotiated now. No wonders dealers are pushing this story to increase profits - go elsewhere if price not below $60k.Originally posted by Symo View PostComment

The Corolado can tow 3t or 3.5t while my 150 is allowed only 2.5t. I know which I prefer to tow with and 3t behind the dual cab is just plain scary.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automaticComment

Not when business pay $59K and Mums and Dads pay $65K, it is a simple compromise. Business will always provide fleet discount, but the simplistic structure allows direct comparison of models and reduces overall price on average. Why waste the time of going through the process of starting at $67K RRP on roads and then asking for a lower price etc etc. They will end up paying low 60s anyway, might as well go the blanket approach and bulk some of the more heavily discounted sales.Originally posted by Kapitan View Post[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

I was quoting private purchase using own examples. I paid $60K drive away for 150 Prado GXL auto petrol in Dec 2009 when dealers tried charging $70k and last year I paid $72k drive away for 150 Prado VX diesel. Same dealer who sold me new VX sold a 6 month old VX for $76K in the same weekend (I test drove it before signing on new one). Most people don't negotiate and buy dealers story ... few hours spend saving several thousand dollars is not a waste of time. Most of us will make more money in those hours that in spending much more time at work.Originally posted by Symo View Post
Wish I had fleet discount to help with my purchase.Comment
