Any good deals on 2006 L/Cruiser T/D ?

Gee $82,000 down to $68,000 sounds like its in your favour so long as you DON'T (repeat D-O-N-'-T) pay any (that's ANY) dealer delivery charges. It is NOT (repeat NOT) a compulsory charge and if you are silly enough to pay it (some say it amounts to a $2,000 $3,000 car wash) then silly fool you. If the dealer insists that you pay it, ask to see the invoice that shows the price they paid from Toyota for the vehicle. If they should show it to you, bet it's heaps less than the final asking price ($68,000 or so). be prepared to walk - very few dealers would, in thie current depressed market,let you get out the door.

The best advice when buying any vehicle (or anything for that matter) is to buy with your head NOT your heart.

Hi there Obone, do a search, just a week or two ago some one on here got a great deal. I think it was around the 66 mark for memory. Steve M

Mate, Not sure if that is a good price but I have bought my last two vehicles through a car broker. Very simple, with them doing the ground work and only cost me $25. Even if it isn't the lowest price you then know the price through your dealer is a good deal and all for only a $25 investment. Worth a look?

If you're a serious buyer go to Car Broker and they'll hunt down the best deal going for you.
It'll cost you $50 for the information, a nominal fee to get rid of the 17 yo's pricing WRX's every second day.
If you then wish to go ahead they'll put you in touch with the relevant dealer and job done.
Car Broker is paid by the dealer, I think about $1,000.
When I bought my 2006 RV Troopy they got the whole deal done for less than Toyota's RRP. That includes rego, on roads and full of fuel. Yes, both tanks, 180litres in the Troopy.

Hey obone,
If you are in Qld give Neil A ring at John O'Brien Toyota in Gatton. Just did a great deal on a hilux and will probably do a deal this week for a Rav4 to replace the other Nissan. ( $7k cheaper than Metro dealers could give.)

And it's great to support the country/rural dealers.

I paid dealer delivery on the hilux and he actually delivered it . from Gatton to the Gold Coast. Our local dealer would not deliver from the next suburb.

obone,
We just got back from a week on Moreton Island with my 2006 Td auto cruiser and 5 mtr runabout. Have previosly driven, petrol manual Patrols including 4.8 ltr manual on the island. Fuel economy with the toyota is great, digging is soft sand when the auto deceides it doesn't want to work is less than impressive. Maybe I have to change my driving style but am less than impressed. The Nissan had HEAPS more useabale grunt. P.S. paid $647500 in july this year in Brisbane through a broker.

Buggered if I know, full throtle, just sat there with nothing happening, centre diff lock engaged, low range and not a rooster tale in site. Nothing.
My 15 Yo daughter can'tstop saying what a "woosey" car. I'm getting depressed.
Maybe the last one with 4"lift and diff locks spoiled her. Oh well, maybe a red wine to settle the nerves before work tomorrow.
Cheers Rob M.

I was in Canberra the other day and a little birdie told me there is a bit of a war going on between CANBERRA TOYOTA and the Toyo dealer in Yass,. It was suggested that if you get a quote from Canberra T and then go to Yass the response might be as much as 10k lower.
Hope this helps

I guy at work just bought a brand spanking new 4.2TD manual for $58,000 from a Toyota Dealership in Frankston (VIC). I would say he's done EXTREMELY well wouldnt you say?
