Used Car Market - WHAT THE?????

There was something on the forum about the gov changing the status of the troopie to that of a truck??? could that be part of the problem???

G'day crfan
Thanks for the tips - but have been there done that. According to www.redbook.com.au the average price range is $29,600 to $34,200. I started advertising mine at $36k (on the off chance) - but have since brought it back to $33,500. Stangely - the only calls I got were while it was advertised highly - and all callers said I was asking too much. None were serious though as I did indicate I was quite willing to negotiate.

Cheers

EEEWWWWWwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLMAO

Why not get her a KIA??????????????????? Something to pull the GQ out with :-))))))))

OW OwOW OW , I would be very worried about my next trip with truckster Gary very worried , Me may just reverse over the Kia thinking it a road hump

At least the Xtrail is comfortable for wench and 2 kids...

Hi Truckster
Xtrail !! why not a Playdoe she could take it behind you for recoveries when you get bogged. LOL

Cheers

It would have to be a 90. Truckster has made his feelings on the 120 styling quite clear!

Steven

Yep - checked red book - see response to crfan. Thanks for the thoughts though...

Thanks for the thoughts. Looks like your wait will be over soon - only a month or two left...

Hi Steve,

My neighbor got his new Prado last Fri. TD auto silver. Very flash, too scared to ask him to come out and play as it may get scratched!!

Leroy

Thanks Leroy! Just take him down a few narrow bush tracks and the gloss will wear off in no time.

I am buying it because of what it can do so it had better earn it's keep. If it gets a few scratches along the way then I won't be crying too much. All new cars are shiny when new, even Defenders! It is nice to keep it looking good but I'm more interested in the places it will take me.

I'm a little hesitant to post all the details here as I don't want to misuse the forum. However - since you have asked - and I would really appreciate any tips, here goes..... Terribly sorry if I offend anyone...

Your time and consideration is much appreciated! I have just paid for a round of advertising etc - but may get back in touch with you soon.

Kind Regards

Haven't advertised there yet - will give it a go I guess - nothing to lose (except more $ for advertising).. Thanks for the tip...

G'day TOB
Thanks for the TIP - but according to RedBook and Carpoint prices I have this covered and am in the right zone. My local Toyota dealer has one very similar (no accessories) and they are asking $41k!!!!

I'm not too sure that it's pricing - I am not even getting any enquiries.

Cheers
