    • Car was there when I turned up early.
      woopee and the colour was right too. Sorry RJH for your misfortune, but the bloke I had doing the deal was pretty good at his job which is a credit to him.
      One thing I did notice was the A/C control is not the manual dial type but it is electronic controlled and passenger and driver can select different temps.
      Also the people in the back can too.
      Front drivers lights are not smoke.
      A/C is ducted throughout
      There is an updated model radio like pics from bluedog in other posts, with green and red buttons for phone bluetooth.
      Rear tail lights look the same to me but I am no expert.
      The missus was shocked to see it in the driveway when she got home too, as she was unaware of the delivery date. She said it was a great surprise however.
      I have put a ban on her driving it until next Monday, so I can ""fit the gear"" alegedly. I think she should be busy on the weekend so the plan might work.

      The only drama I have had so far was the passenger indicator light did not have the nuts securing it to the bullbar and on arriving home found it hanging in front of the car by the wires. :cry:
      Other than that great car and worth my wait of just under 3 months.

        • Thanks Fazza,
          You know the first thing I checked when I drove out the dealers was the windscreen washers. :cry: :cry:
          Damm it they are not the Hilux ones, so an upgrade/swap is in order

                  Sounds like you ordered in the same batch as me. Before the 9th/10th of the month. I have just been bumped to November build and assured I will get my Prado before Christmas. Believe it when I see it.

                  My contract says that it will be delivered on the 15th of October. It also says that if I dont receive the vehicle within 30 days of the agreed delivery date I can cancel the order for a full refund.

                  15th of November........ Im still thinking about it !!!!!! Even considering a secondhand petrol. There are some really good bargins out there.

                  Just one more thing Phil... did they tell you of the price increase. I have ordered a VX as well and was told of a $1200 price increase!!!!

                      Hoppy, my contract says Oct 31st (approx) not sure what the ramifications of them writing approx in is. Although I would love to have the car sooner rather than later, I still have to sell my 2005 Patrol otherwise suffer the torture of the trade in price.

                      As far as any additional cost, I have a contract for a price. They cannot change the contract. If turned around and said I want to renogitiate after the contract had been signed they wouldn't let me. So what makes them think they can do the same. As it is I think I paid too much!

                      • As far as any additional cost, I have a contract for a price. They cannot change the contract.

                        When I signed my contract back in July, they gave me a photocopy which didnt include the "terms and conditions". I went back last week, after being bumped again, and asked for the terms and conditions. It clearly states that if the manufacturer increases the price due to 'upgrades' etc that that cost will be passed onto the customer. It does go onto to say that once the customer has been informed in writing or email, that they (the customer) have 3 days to cancel the contract for a full refund.

                        That period has passed for me but my next "get out" date is the 15th of November. If I have had news by then that the vehicle will not be delivered untill the new year I will cancel my order and try to pick up somebody elses cancelled order in the new year with 2008 compliance, if Im lucky.

                        • Hi Hoppy,
                          When you say your next get out date is the 15th are you refering to the clause that states that the dealer will supply you the vehicle within 3 months of the contract being signed.
                          I have been thinking along the same lines,maybe cancelling and waiting for 2008.
                          Cheers Moto

                            No. My contract does not have a 3 month clause. It simply states that the vehicle must be handed over to the customer within 30 days of the agreed delivery date. In my case the agreed delivery date was the 15th of October 2007 and is written on the contract. I suspect contracts vary from dealer to dealer.

                            I might add that at the time of purchasing the Prado my dealer said he expected it to arrive the following month. I told him of the delays I had heard about so he put down delivery 2 1/2 months after the signing of contract.

                            • My contract says the dealer will supply the vehicle within 3 months of signing but then goes on in another paragrph to state that the purchaser may terminate the contract if the dealer is in breech of any of the obligations in the contract.
                              I may be wrong but if they cant deliver within the 3 months is that a breech on the dealers behalf?

                              • I emailed our dealer yesterday to request the new contract, they had written if there was a price change we would wear it. We are not fleet buyers, just "normal man on the street" buyers, the new price is $1 cheaper :lol: :lol: !!!!!!
