Hi all first post. Was looking at a GXL or VX. I kinda figured if I didn't get a VX then every time I saw one on the road I would kick myself for buying a GXL. So I stumped up the extra cash.

2017 Prado VX 2.8L Turbo Diesel Automatic in Sydney
Crystal Pearl
Towbar
Floor mats
$70000 drive away 12 mo's rego, ctp, full tank diesel.
No trade in.
They had it in stock and I didn't need to test drive as I had looked around for a fair while. Told them what I was willing to pay. They didn't even try to haggle so I would say you could get more options or a lower price if it is in stock. All done in about 20minutes. Picked it up today.

Looking forward to getting out and about off road and on sand in it.

Was in the market to buy one( MY2016) in Brisbane. Negotiated a deal (GXL AUTO BLACK) for around $60,000 driveaway without trade-in including full tank, 1 year rego, warranty, 2 free car wash before the ming mole came in and since I was not privy being a first time buyer the cost raised to $63,560 that included mats, tint, rust protection, paint protection, roof rack and interior protection. My finance was rejected fortunately since when I found out the aftermarket prices of all of the above I was appalled. Will go in to buy a new one around June. Wondering if this was a good deal?

Also if you guys could help me out deciding in the following post that would be legendary :

I bought a December 16 plate GXL Auto on the gold coast 3 weeks ago, it cost me $66540, silver, tow bar, ARB deluxe bullbar with side rails and steps. and full window tints. I bought the floor mats on the day as i forgot about them. Rego and full tank of fuel as well.

Cheers

Hey,

My first post - and bought the first Prado last week in North-West Sydney. This thread really helped me in dealing with dealers.
- 2016 December(last week - said 2017 Compliant) Toyota Prado GXL (Graphite) 2.8 Turbo Diesel Automatic
- Floor Mats
- Cargo Mat
- Front Sensors
- Bonnet Protector
$63k including Drive-Away/12 Months Rego/Full tank of Fuel. Not the best deal in Sydney, but I think it's average/ acceptable?

Thanks everyone for sharing the experience.

Bit of a spur of the moment thing - had been in earlier to test the Kluger but left unimpressed. Was about to buy a Kia, but they just couldn't get to the price I wanted, so changed tack and went after a vehicle I really liked. Enjoyed driving the GXL but once I got in to the VX there was no going back.

Tested on Sunday 26th Feb arvo - stayed until after closing agreeing on the price. Sorted finance (lease) on Monday 27th and picked up Tuesday 28th afternoon. They said at that price they wanted it off the lot by the end of the month. Didn't have the towbar or cargo liner at pickup but just got them installed yesterday - provided a free loaner car (Rav4) for the day. Picked up free front rubber mats with my "loyalty points" gained for purchasing the car

First 6 service visits (after free 1st one) capped at $240 - not sure if this is special or standard.

Got a competitive price for comprehensive insurance from them as well ($900).

Hello,
First time poster, being lurking for some time now. Bought my first Prado today and this thread really helped with negotiation, knowing what to expect with all the warranty and add ons etc.

Got the GXL diesel manual (2017) with floor mats, full tanks, 12 months rego and on road costs for $61k in Perth. I'm pretty happy with that and hoping that the stock will arrive soon!

Which Dealer?

2016 Prado GXL 2.8L Turbo Diesel Automatic
Metallic Paint

All Weather Floor Mats

$62k including on road costs/stamp duty/12 months Rego/Full tank of fuel.

Adelaide Metro Region

Several dealers were unable or unwilling to go below $63,990k which was a common price quoted.


In addition to the extremely helpful advise in this forum, consider the following:

1. Negotiate a price for the vehicle first before any discussions about trade in vehicle. We found trade in prices were artificially inflated rather than movement on new vehicle price. our experience was trade in prices started low (below market value) resulting in negotiations for better value for your existing asset (dealer approaching market value), taking your focus off getting a better deal on the new vehicle. The results in the perception of a good deal but in reality you are getting market value for your existing asset and minimal discount on a new vehicle.

2. If you are trading in a vehicle, do your homework and determine the best price you can get for your asset via the dealer/wholesaler/auction or private sale etc. Redbook will give some reasonable indication for trade in and private values. Research online sales allowing for the fact commercial sellers will mark up to make a profit, have margin to negotiate and provide a warranty. Consider what level of effort you want to contribute towards selling a vehicle (if any) as you may gain substantially more value by selling privately.

3. Further refine your deal with the options. If they are not bundled or you receive minimal benefit to purchasing with the vehicle you can purchase genuine accessories after the initial purchase.

4. Be cautious about dealer extras such as paint protection, tinting or extended warranties. We were quoted prices 300% more expensive than public RRP. We also found these to be presented after a deal was finalized, which has the potential to undo all of your efforts. Again all of these can be done post purchase if you require.

5. It goes without saying dealers need to turn a profit otherwise they would not be in business. There is more to a purchase other than cost such as ongoing service and support.

6. The goal is to strike a compromise. Work out in advance you are willing to pay and work to that number.

7. Set realistic expectations, be prepared to adjust them and accept a deal when it meets. Be patient and walk away if required.

Hope That Helps

Just purchased new 2.8 GXL in White,tow bar rubber mats and full tank for 61,000.Best I could get here in Perth

2017 plate GXL V6, Silver, $61000 cash with towbar, mats, front sensors, 2 weather shields, full tanks, 12 month rego.

Went V6 as we do a lot of country driving (not towing) and I want the pick up speed to overtake a 42 metre road train.

Third Prado from Scarboro Toyota Perth.
Picked the wrong time of the month and the year to buy this one so couldn’t get the $800 off that I reckon was still there!
Still they had what I wanted in the yard, so only a week for pickup.

As stated by others Stamp Duty (paid $4043) is a killer in WA.

Tried AHG but they didn’t seem interested in haggling.
