  • 2013 Prado VX or 2017 Prado GXL

    Hello all i am new here.

    I am going to purchase a new car soon. I love the 2013 VX with all the options and I drove the 2017 GXL that has the new engine.

    Would it be worth to buy a second hand 2013 Model or purchase the new GXL. the only reason is because i like the styling of the 209-2013 model and the VX felt great on road. But the GXL engine felt nicer and was quieter.

    Would it be worth saving some coin and buying the VX with the 3.0 D4D or buy the new GXL with the new 2.8

    thank you

    Anthony

    Personally i would by the newer model but i suppose it would depend on how much coin you are saving ? if you have the extra to play with ? and if you are planning on selling it and upgrading in the future? as resale on the older vehicle won't be as good as the younger model in 5 years time

      Welcome to PP mate.

      If you do go the new model consider brand new. When I was looking for my oldies, some of the stealerships were selling 2 year old GXL prados with 50000km on them for $2000 less than I haggled a brand new one down. This is in Perth.

      There is a fair bit of room to move on the new ones.

        I second Killswitch. I think dealers overprice used Prados but you can haggle quite hard by shopping around a few dealers. I also found no savings on new stock so ordered to my requirements.

          thank you for the welcome. i drove the new one today and the new engine and transmission is very nice. dealer of course tried to make me test drive a kakadu wheni wanted a GXL.The 2013 model is nice but you can tell the new model is a step up. i am going to take your advice and search for a new gxl. i will want to keep it for about 5 years plus. i prefur the look of the 2013 model. but second hand prados are a rort in price.

            Having spent a few days in a 2017 GXL, I found that the 2.8 is far smoother and this in itself is luxury. I am hopeful that the 2.8 won't have the ongoing injector issues of the 3.0 D4D motor. For me, the refinement of the new engine outweighs the extra creature comforts of the VX.
