Where was that mate???"Drive down that track really fast, if something gets in your way turn" -
The 780km was from Musgrave Roadhouse across the bottom of the gulf to Normanton and doing 220k extra to avoid the dreaded Mitchell river crossing that would have seen us almost certainly bogged and stranded in the river. Was towing the camper at that time so around the 15 -16 litre/100.Originally posted by chester ver 2.0 View Post
The 760km trip was from Mt Dare Station to Birdsville Via the Madigan line, 9 days and used 22 l/100 with no trailer! I used 169 litres and minimum fuel requirements to do the trip was 220 lts given the extreme remoteness and the unknown circumstances we could face. 169lts was with no diversions of any note from our planned route.

I am going through the process of getting quotes for 13/13 vehicles and there is no update of any kind. This time last year there was an update but nothing this year and have been told no changes now until 2014.
Cheers

Hi VeeZee if you are not in a hurry I would order a 13 build / 13 compliance vehicle which would be delivered in February as there will be no run out deals on the 12/12 vehicles. You may find some petrol units in stock but the diesel vehicles are generally ordered in for waiting buyers or have buyers by the time they hit the dealership. The leadtime is a lot better than it was this time last year. Getting a 13/13 vehicle instead of 12/12 or 12/13 vehicle will put you ahead at resale time and assuming you change over each 3 years or so the later build date will be of significant benefit to you.

I agree with JPM21.
I'm not sure on the current delivery times, but it will probably be at least 2 months. Maybe order your new VX in Nov for a Jan/Feb delivery.
I happy to be a tyre kicking wing man for you Goose (AKA VeeZeeSS). Just call me Maverick!![SIZE=3]Jeff[/SIZE]

Because I ordered a 2013 model, they stated that they couldn't 100% guarantee the price as it would be subject to if an update came out with a price increase, but they said this was unlikely.
No accessories to be fitted with order, I'll do all that after so I've started planning these now.Comment

$75xxx. I see some have got down a bit further but I was happy with that given I'm not metro and had to work with the only dealer in town.Originally posted by jassel View PostComment
