Hello All
Still new to the forum and trying to seep in the info on the new Hilux
i have made up my mind on upgrading to the new Hilux.
I would really appreciate if you mates out there would be happy to suggest me or at least guide towards the right direction
My situation. I dont fo offroading much (may b 3-4 trips in a year but nothing hard core). Now that the new Hilux comes with a Diff lock i may dare to do more
.Hoping that the Diff locks are as good as the Eaton or other lockers out there.
Current Model - 2006 SR5 D4D auto
KMS - 210000
Mods - 2'' Lift kit ( Ultimate suspension one month old )
Bull bar - ARB
ARB side rail and Steps
Winch - 10000 Lbs (No idea what brand..but still functions when last tested 2 weeks ago)
Kenwood 6' media player
Reverse Camera
Claron Sub (installed behind the passenger seat)
12" HID off Road Driving Lights.
Bighorn M/T 32" (will have to be replaced in another 15000 kms )
I was looking to trade in my Lux for a SR (Auto) Dual Cab. with No other accessories or addons
After discussing my options with one of the local dealers below is what i have been offered
Trade in price (between 18000 to 20000)
Out of pocket - arnd 30 to 32000 (for SR Auto Dual Cab)
My Question is
1) Does this sound like a fair deal.
2)considering the added features that SR5 comes with i am better off to pay another somemore $$ and instead go for SR5
3)I liked bull bar, 18" Alloy Machined Grey) and the Bed slide options that toyota has to offer, would i b better off getting them from the dealer for a better deal or would i end up saving some $$$ if i opt for other after mkt brands.
4) i did like the additonal 3 yrs warranty that i can opt for but the downside is it'll have to be serviced at the dealer frm day 1 and if i add any after market accessory the warranty would be void to me which sounds
I Really Appreciate you reading thru this
Thank you
Max
