  • 150 gxl

    Well it is official now, I just got an estimated delivery date for my new car.

    Somewhere around the 27th I will have a 2012 Blue Storm GXL delivered to my house.

    The plan at the moment is to get a tow bar fitted ASAP, fit the tinted weather shields I got off eBay (thanks jimbob1 and Matty & Loz for the tip) and hope I get enough coin from selling my Discovery to put a good size dent in the list of accessories.

    It is going to be a long 3 week wait.

    Steve

    Congrats steve. And don't think of it as 3 weeks, just think of it as a mere 1,814,400 seconds.

    Cheers

          Cheers Derek, I am super excited to get it. My first new car, haha.
          I always keep an eye out for blue ones and see very few of them on the road. That was another bonus.

                        Yes it happened. Pretty quickly too, first look at a 150 on Jan 25th (yes I know you lot have been driving them for 2 years), few enquiries about bits through the following week. Test drive on Feb 2nd and confirmed spec. Pricing to and fro yesterday. Signed my life away this afternoon.

                        No idea on delivery for mine. Whenever. Car is in stock. Bar (alledgedly) is in stock. Suspenders (?) in stock...

                            Me got a White Prado GXL!!

                            Pick up mine in late January. Interestingly two other Prados were in the Q to be pick up that afternoon.
                            Me in front and two other (GXLs, Grey) the next two. No wonder Toyota dealership plays hardball when it comes to selling the Prados (and LC).
