Thread: new 70 series

If $nz6000 is all we are paying here for one of these new ones , don’t complain too much. Any big V8 cars new arriving in France is an instant €13000 euros of “Eco/green tax “ ($nz26000 ish). Not mentioning your yearly tax on the dam thing and the price of fuel a bit higher than here in nz.

I paid $200K for my ute in Norway.
But I can claim back all the GST and depreciation,sell it after five years and its practically free. But yeah,$500 to fill it up hurts a bit.

wont share the photos of the one im working on at he moment.......but lets just say rolling them over gives your insurer the shits.....

$140 000

$140K + 7.9% interest.

Thats going to be a hard sell...

I think the $140k includes the interest.

I bought from iLam Toyota in the past, they were OK and not this greedy.

But this is too much, not sure if they breach any consumer law by doing so.
At least now, I know which Toyota dealer to avoid.

If you read that ad closely.. that’s $140k for a ‘used’ one, at that.

now - we all want a land cruiser -come on admit it- the ultimate NZ hunting wagon - but auto - the only reason I can think of to get an auto and spoil a good 4x4 is if you want to crawl along behind ones beloved daisys in the race leading up to the cow shed - I will allow that -other than that you are a Dauklander stuck in traffic all day and ya never ever stick it in 4x4

Not even!
I have driven heaps of cruiser and patrols.
Great machines till you get in the mud and then next to useless, just to heavy!
If you really want to offend a person from the land calling them a dorklander will do it!
