Those great wall and mahindras just got the worst safety rating of two stars. Junk utes.
Wouldnt want my family in one if an accident happened.

A customer we had in today opened the drivers door on his Mahindra on the weekend, the wind caught it and snapped the hinges clean off Indian quality is great

we dont get Mahindras here thank god

he wasnt gonna bother getting a lift kit for it was he, it would be worth more than the whole car

We have avoided working on the Mahindras until next week. He desperately needs a suspension kit so we have to help him out.

Was quoted $56,000 Drive away today for silver dual cab auto SR5.
I wonder how much for just the SR..... Got me thinkin now.... they are really nice I rekon.

61800 here for a auto diesel DC

$54000 SR5 dual cab metalic paint tubliner floor mats with silver fleet discount drive away in WA. Getting numerous quotes let them beat each other down. Original prices have started from $57000 - $62000 until i told them i was going to get quotes elsewhere pencil gets sharpened pretty quickly. They'll screw you if they can but ispose thats there job to achieve higher commision etc. Pitty they always have to try it on, they would get my loyalty straight away if they didn't.

ROPS heavey duty tray extra $2700 if i want.

Who knows a good dealer that doesn't play games, has good back up support and you don't have to argue with warranty issues etc in Perth or around the South West area. Would also consisder buying one from over east considering cars always seem to be cheaper to buy over there and truck back here due to cheaper stamp duty tax etc??
Any ideas muchly appreciated
Cheers in advance

Hey just throwing it out there in vic i have a dealer down to 49800 for a 2012 dual cab hilux style side metallic paint and tow bar.. They started at 56 so it pays to ask how much then go shop round and play the game better then the dealers

Sorry SR5

Yeah got mine for under 50,000 drive away.

Yeah $51000 so far and haven't really started to push the issue. Actualy trying to convince myself not to go and buy the new ford ranger that's come out for 2012. Every review ive read so far raves about the ranger over the hilux.
Yes i know this is a hilux forum! But value for money has me thinking???
Willing to be convinced either way!!!!

I found I could get under 50 for sr5 diesel man in charcoal with leather
Then when I said I'm trading up they said If I sign today they will through in some options
But the tradein was to low 30g for a 09 spec3 fully options with 41k was way to low
I wanted 10 change over

White sr5 with tow bar rearview camera headlight and bonnet protectors in manual $50790 driveway just waiting for delivery.

White SR D4D manual Cab Chassis, A/C, ally tray & ladder rack.
$43250 drive away, not to bad considering I was looking at 2nd hand low k's MY10 for $42 + on roads...

Silver SR 4X4 D4D Manual Extra Cab, heavy Alloy tray, Tow bar, Aircon, 6 year warranty 45k drive away.

just clocked over 1000ks in it now, super happy!

Have been researching on carsaies.com.au for a while now.
Damn there's a lot of '09 - '11 low kay vehicles for super hot prices. Not many selling either!!!!!
So much for Hilux resale value.........

May as well bend over & take the wholesale trade in prices

This was in relation to the pricing being released for the new Ford Ranger which comes in at $60,000 for the top of the range wildtrak.

...and Toyota has just dropped prices on the Hilux in response. The new 2012 Lux SR5 manual TD is $50,990, a drop of $2,700 and that's after adding $2,700 worth of additional eqipment including sat nav.

Won't be too many previous model SR5 Lux owners rabbiting on about their resales. They've just had $5k+ removed off their second-hand values after one press release. That would make them the fastest depreciating DC ute out there at the moment.

Toyotas, have done and will continue to hold value better than the rest.
Rabbit rabbit...... my ass 5k has come off hiluxs with the release if the new look job....
Some poor dude wrote that, he couldn't afford the Hilux.

My girlfriend and I were potting around the Toyota dealer near us a few weekends ago and I asked about the drive away price for a Dual Cab TD Auto SR5 and the guy said around $64k!

I won't pay more than $55k when I'm ready, if I even chose the SR5 - SR's seem better bang for buck to me.
