New vehicle delivery times ?

Mototrim,

Thanks for that. Good work by you to get it before Christmas Day, cut it pretty close. Hope you have some good travelling into the New Year with it.

I might have to take Pluckers advice and start stockpiling all my goodies to get fitted straight away. But where do I start.... :lol:

My Dealer Rep is pretty good, so I might just keep hammering him with phone calls :P

Cheers,
AJ

My Prado is being delivered tomorrow don't think I'll have any trouble sleeping as I'm coming off night shift.
Should be the last Prado of 2007??
My dealer said I could put off delivery but It would be registered and my lease would be started so stuff that give me the car.
Any suggestions of a good place to get her dirty near Sydney?
As for new accessories I have chosen an air compressor which sounds like the most useful for me followed by a recovery strap being a novice.
Just for the record the car was available 2 days before they promised it to me which was quite Noble of them no false promises like some people have been getting.
So now I have the car in time for my holiday but my boss has canceled my leave due to industrial action so look out anyone flying the red rat after Jan 14 you might have a long wait in the terminal! :evil:

Well done you'll love it, looks like your getting quite a bit of kit on yours.
Still waiting to get mine dirty, they just don't look right when they are all shinny and new.

I have recently spoken with a friend who just took delivery of his D4D Prado about a month ago. It took him 17 weeks from signing to delivery. When he collected his, the Sales Rep told him that due to the MASSIVE demand for the new D4D Prado's, Toyota had to build a new factory to exclusively build the new Prado's.

Apparently this has been a major source of the delays.

Hi Y,ALL

I ordered my D4D Auto in early November, told Mid Jan Delivery, Tracking System states 20/1/08 now in transit.
Dealer says should be on time, i am now in the process of organising fitment of an ARB winch bar/Safari Snorkel & not sure wether to fit dual battery & ipf driving lights now or do the suspension first....wish i could do the lot right away but the little woman is having a fit that we always have to put all this gear on when we change vehicles...some women just dont understand..he he.

Good to hear your all getting closer to D4D day,the wait is agonising but the drive is simply awsome 8)

Funny thing i saw yesterday i took my car in for the 1000k service to another dealer in Perth and what should be on the showroom floor "unsold", a brand new D4D crystal pearl Grande with IVORY interior unspoken for and it arrived just 6 days after picking mine up. :twisted:

Good to see Toyota W.A and the dealers are comunicating with each other and are putting there customers first. :roll:

Hi Rob

Yes it's great, thank god for the mild weather so I ca drive around with the windows open, the new car smell is a bit overpowering and gives me a headache.
Still waiting to get her dirty though, industrial dispute at work is screwing up all my plans at the moment.
Fitted some Roo lites the other day they look great especially for the price (sorry to all the light force fans) but haven't finished the wiring yet.
Anyway hope to be heading down to the Great ocean road in two weeks family is going without me if my leave is still baned.

All the Best
Dave :roll:

Prado Ordered

We ordered our Prado last week (Moving up from a Jackaroo) with an expected deliver date of the 12th of May. D4D, Manual, Sovereign Bar, Snorkel, Dual Batteries, tow bar, ARB Compressor, Rallye 4000 Compacts. We live in the Pilbara so we are looking forward to getting out and seeing the top end of WA and the odd trip back home to SA.

Del.

Welcome to Pradopoint Del & Kt,
I dont know which model you ordered but its worth checking with the all dealers every now and then because i have seen a couple of unsold D4Ds floating around in Perth,but they wouldt last long

Saw another one pop up for sale yesterday ... a late '07 Dune Metallic D4D Grande with colour coded ARB bar, tow pack etc .... 4500 Kms on the clock ......

Apart from the colour :lol: that could be a nice pickup at the right price.

Cheers
Chippy

Oops! GXL. Delivery time doesn't bother me too much. Now that we have made the decision and ordered it i know what to start to buy for my new baby.

We havn't even driven the new 07 Update model. The dealer up here hasn't been able to get one for us to drive. We have looked at and driven a late 06 GXL, and that impressed me. From what i've been told the update has got considerable more punch and is a little more "refined" inside.
