Hi
We've been borrowing my dad's Prado for a while when needed but it's coming to the point where we need to get our own.
Toyota currently have the GXL diesel auto on "special" for $61990 drive away - see here. Is that a good deal?
I've been looking at second hand prices for a while and the asking prices seem pretty high for a reasonably new car. I realise that you don't always get what you ask for but it seems that saving a few thousand dollars for to get a car with 20k on the clock isn't a great deal.
Is there much room for haggling with a special like that? We need a towbar and rubber floor mats - are we better off trying to get them included or go aftermarket?
I had my heart set on a VX initially -mainly because of the KDSS which looks good - but there don't seem to be many deals on them going around and I can't see that KDSS is worth $15k or more that the VX seems to cost. We've always had manuals in the past but it looks like the GXL manual isn't on special - so I'm not sure I want to pay a few thousand extra for one.
If we do get a new one, how soon can you tow a Tvan camper trailer? Do you need to wait till it's run in or could it cope with the drive to Melbourne on the Hume Highway from almost new?
