Think I'll just keep the corolla.

Is this your rig then A+B?

A+B not sure if that was a serious post or not. Injectors are consumables. The injectors on any common rail diesel will be more expensive than an old school engine. From new you should get an easy 120,000 before any concerns especially if you are diligent with maintenance. There are few if any 'injector problems' being reported with the 150. If this still scares you and you want a Prado then buy the petrol. It's a good unit too, just underprivileged when it comes to torque.

Otherwise enjoy your awe inspiring Corolla.

Hi all, my first post. Been looking to buy a d4d prado. Can't afford the potential maintenance cost with the seemingly unavoidable injector problems.

it's auto price

Is that for an auto or manual, the auto is 3K more RRP than a manual.

it's auto price. addition the nudge bar make $700 on base $61000plus 140 tint frontal windows

Think about what extras you want and do you want the dealer to provide these such as front tinted windows (tint an uv) and rear (uv only), extended 3 year factory warranty and the others listed in the earlier posts.

My view is obtain the total price with all your extras and on road cost and then start negotiating. They will try to negotiate the base price (maybe with a few throw ins) and then add the extras and negotiate each of these separately.

Probably to late but tjm brendale we're selling one for $62 with all the tjm kit steps, side bars bull bar battery's and more with 1000km on the clock.

I would expect that if you get an Auto Diesel GXL with a towbar, mats, bonnet and headlight protectors and you pay around $59k on road you have bought well.

I think (and from what I have seen) at the moment, if you pay more than $60k you have paid too much, especially if it is plated 2013. I paid $60,490 in 2012 with all of the above + Toyota window tinting and rubber cargo liner - not financed. A mate of mine picked up a 2013 GXL Diesel 2 weeks ago (Graphite) with everything except the cargo liner and he paid $58,990 Driveaway and his was leased, however not with Toyota.

Like has been mentioned, ring a few and play them off against each other, but I think $59 is your current benchmark.

Hi,

Picked up my 2013 Facelift GXL diesel auto 2 weeks ago RRP with tow bar some change out of 72K
Ended up getting it with some change out of 63K + accessories thrown in.

You have more power than you think, and it will vary between dealerships / stock levels / where they are at with sales targets.

I bought my first new car in late July.. Altitude Prado with towbar and bonnet protector for 66500.

When I got mine, my local dealer would not budge below 70k. Several other dealers were the same.. I rang around and ended up flying to pick mine up the price was just to much under what I could get local. Ring and visit lots of dealers and get a feel for the ones that really want to sell.

Carsales.com.au lists a 2013 GXL diesel auto, with 7kms on the clock, for $58,888 drive away. That would have to be a good starting point for any negotiation?

Hi all,
Looking at going to Toyota tomorrow to buy my first brand new car. But have a couple of questions.
What sort of negotiating power do I have on a new car?
I assume the 2013 plated versions should be a fair bit cheaper?
What should I expect to pay for a 2013/14 Gxl?
Should I use Toyota finance or use esanda (like I currently do)

Hmm thinks thats all I need for now. Cheers!!
