I spoke with 3 different dealerships and negotiated my way to this price point!
I used the data base created by another member on this thread. Page 28 as a reference for pricing which was very helpful.Comment

Hi Aronm. I Just wanted to say thanks for putting this database together. I knew pretty well what I should be paying for my new Prado but this information was very useful for the negotiating process.Originally posted by aronm View PostHi All,
I have created the following simple 2 question form (with additional optional questions) to get an idea of what people are getting their 2018 Prados for.
https://goo.gl/forms/ZkPgFK4gA2tLKSgG3
The live results can be found here as people fill out the form for everyone to see:

So if you have gone and enquired or bought a 2018 Prado, let us know the price you got it down to, and if you're like me and looking to buy, hopefully this little database will help your negotiations.
I have also posted this in a few FB groups.
Thanks
p.s I have taken the liberty of collecting some of the info already posted in this forum, a couple of pages back now, so if you have mentioned your purchase here, I might have already added it.
Cheers BrendoComment

Nice work Brendo. If you don't mind I'd interested to hear your thoughts on why VX over the GXL ?Rob

I had quotes for both the Gxl (with leather option) & the Vx.Originally posted by rptdprado View Post
The prices I was getting for the Gxl with leather were around 67,000.
We currently have a vx which both the wife and I love. I know the kdss is gone in the vx now which was a big negative imo, but there is still a lot of small differences that we like with the Vx.
You get more safety which is important with two young children. Fridge in Centre console which is not a bad option to have, multi terrain monitors which gives you camera views all around the vehicle, 14 speaker stereo with digital radio, rain sensing wipers,auto leveling headlights, auto high beam, auto dimming rear view mirror, 18” wheels instead of 17” although I will be swapping for aftermarket 17” wheels/Tyres straight away. Even little things like chrome handles inside instead of black plastic.
These are the reasons behind our choice of the Vx. Also most of the extra 5k you spend you will recoup when selling the vehicle.
And last but not least I have my 15OVX personalized plates they would go to waste if I ended up in a Gxl.Comment

Hi Brendo. Looks like you negotiated a great deal. I’m about to start a round of negotiations for the same - VX but keep flipping about between crystal pearl and silver. I’m keen to know which dealer you ended up going through - could you send me dealer details or location?
Also, why do you plan on ditching the 18’s for 17’s?2009 Prado 120 D4D, Silver, ARB Deluxe Winch Bar, IPFXS, Safari snorkel, diff breathers, OME, GME UHF, Warn Winch, ARB portable compressor, OEM Towbar, Tekonsha brake controller, tinted windowsComment

Hi Roksy18,Originally posted by Roksy18 View Post
We had always planned on changing to aftermarket black wheels like we have done on our current vehicle. We just like the black wheeel look and I figured while I’m at it I will change down a rim size so I gain more tyre sidewall height for when off-road. And also Tyres are slightly cheaper than 18” ones.
It looks like you are located on the sunny coast which is where we have negotiated the deal for our new Vx.
The dealership was ken mills at Maroochydore.
I hope this helps with your purchase process!Last edited by Brendos 150; 24-01-2018, 08:24 PM.Comment

Just picked up a 18/18 VX for $68500 driveaway. Just the car alone - should be here around March/April after the slow boat ride. Thought to save on the LCT and add the accessories on after I get the vehicle

Just to confirm - you got a 2018 built/ complied Prado VX, that retails for $82,000 drive-away on the Toyota website, for $68,500? Do you mean $78,500? Or is Toyota going all out on shifting these? That'd be an ordered vehicle too... so no deals for it being on the lot?Originally posted by orangepeel View PostComment
