I was quoted for a 2012 SR5 T/D manual $49,990 D/A. I said I want the 2013 the same price and I'll sign for it today. They agreed instantly. I ended up with a Charcoal Grey 2013 manual T/D for $49,990 D/A + extras. I also bargained with the extras. I ended up getting the reversing camera (was $400, got it free), the rust proof protection (was $995, got it $400), the tub liner ($500), the tow bar ($750), tinted windows (was $400, got it $150), genuine Toyota heavy duty floor mats (was $300, got it free), and also a full tank of fuel for free. Ended up paying $52,000 drive away in NSW. I signed that day for it, finance done that same day. Excellent quick service. I also barhained with the financial advisor and got it 6.9%. They arrived in Australia only on Thursday, just fitting the extras then will pick it up Wednesday. Was originally quoted $53,000 through Sci Fleet Toyota in Kedron QLD, then I went in to my local dealership in Murwillumbah NSW and they said they beat that price. After signing the contract and finance for $52,000 which I'm very happy with, Toyota at Tweed Heads NSW called me back and said they would've beaten that peice and given me the 2013 SR5 for $1,000 cheaper. Bummed but not worried as I already got a great deal. My friend bought a white 2011 SR5 T/D manual when they first came out and he paid $63,000 stock.
