LANDCRUISER 100 HDJ100 (TD 4.2L)

perhaps the private sales are factoring in after-market accessories in their wish-for price.

The prices at the time of the initial release of the 200 seemed to go up drawn by the increase in price of the new ones. I saw a 200 GXL with the optional KDSS suspension today though at a 'Drive away" price nearly $3k below the listed price of the GXL without the KDSS, before delivery charges, so quite a discount.

When reality comes back to the market, they may all come back a bit. Friend says he had seen the VX at a similar price in a 200!

carsales valuations... well, they are pretty worthless. The price a car is worth is what someone is prepared to pay for it at the moment they buy it. That may be more and may be less than carsales valuations.

Every private bloke wants every brass razoo he can get. He thinks his truck is the best thing since sliced bread and that he needs to get back every dollar (or every $1,000 because as we know that is how much it costs to touch a truck) he has spent on it over it's pampered existence.

In reality, he eventually settles for a lot less, either as a trade-in at the dealers where those things are not even noticed, or he waits long enough for someone to come along willing to pay not quite so much less, but nearly so.

I don't think the 200 series would make any difference whatsoever.

Yep, prices for 100TD's are staying high and even appreciating since the release of the 200. Demand outstripping supply. Have heard of some secondhand 06/07 models selling for more than their new price!

Probably looking at around 60k for a good 05 model.

They will come down eventually once the 200 has been around a bit, but I wouldnt expect them to plummet.

I was monitoring prices of the 100 series diesels (on Carpoint) for about 12 months before the 200 came out.

There were some really attractive buys (in hindsight).

Since the 200 came out I am in no doubt whatsoever that the second hand 100's have gone up by $5,000 to $10,000.

cheers

This reeeely proves the point when the 100 v8 vs TD comes along which it did often
alot thought that the 10k difference bought alot of fuel but at the end of the day the price difference would be more than made up with resale.
Toyota TD vehicles have always fetched above premium prices secoond hand
the 80 series
79 TD
and now the 100

I have a very clean straight 11\02 T\D 5 speed auto, white ,factory mags and by the book services. Listed in trader if you or anyone else is interested. 0402 329 372. They are a fantastic motor car.

The yard I just bought my 100 series TD had 4, 1 was 00 with 190000 km they had $40000 on it, 2 was a 03 with 90000 km that was $55000, 3 was a 05 with 78000 it had $65000, and the one I bought was a 00 128000 km $ 40000 and I got $19000 for my 00 troopy with 22000 km.

Cheers Steve.

In Sept 07 I bought our 05 100 GXL TD 'MANUAL' for $54k at the SA Gov.t Auctions - I was probably bidding against dealers who put a hefty markup on them for yard sales. I too was aghast at what the dealers wanted for them. Most of the units coming through the auctions look very ordinary - a lot have had a hard 2 years in the bush - mine was an exception - very tidy in and out, and with a good list of offroad goodies already on there, I'm still happy - apples for apples, if auto comes into the equation, I was advised to expect approx. an extra $3k.

Crickey, maybe i had best look at uping my insurance, i have a dec 03 TD Troopy 50k on the clock with 30k of extras on it.
Might have to get a valuation done for insurance?

I went thro this exercise exactly 12 months ago. I wanted a lowish mileage 100TD up to 5 years old, with as many extras as possible.

Not sure what you mean by car sales valuation, but if you mean the Red Book prices I found them to be almost $10k under what the going market price was at the time - and this was Australia- wide dealer and private prices, not just in one state.

I paid nearly $10K over the Red Book price (knowing it was a fair market price) but this caused a problem when I went to insure it.
The insurer (RAA Ins) was initially skeptical, but did not ask for a valuation as they were satisfied by a photo of the vehicle that clearly showed its condition, and luckily they agreed to insure the vehicle for what I paid for it.

Cheers, Dalb

Thank you all. The carsales valuations are from Red Book which are supposed to be from monitoring the market...............

My conclusion is that there has been an increase in newish 100 values as a result of the release of the dearer 200 series but that this will sort itself out as more 100s get traded by people and companies up grading to the 200 in the next year. That said there are some sellers out there who are not in touch with reality, when they ask for $60+ when next to their ad is the same vehicle for $55k and no big difference in accessories.

Will keep searching.

Now is the time to sell!

Have just had an email for a lady who had a 2006 HDJ100R with 34,000km advertised for $70k. She tells me it sold for $68,500 and the auction place said she would get at least $60k there. It cost $75.5k new..........

She thinks it is because the 200 series is an unknown quantity - add that to delivery times and it is a sellers' market.
