Me too! Mine already passes everything but that gas station... she'd be a quarter mile machine with that added on!

I brought a brand new one and drives great with a noticeable power increase over the older model. But I did get a manual one and in hindsight I would go auto next time. I have since sold it and looking for a 76 cruiser. New and flash isn’t for me.

You look like a right dick stalling a ute trying to back a trailer up a hill, and when it's an auto and you have pulled forwards as far as you can and the only option is reverse and you can't slip the clutch to get the thing moving you are right fu*ked.

Only some.....clutch wouldn't last the first few months of backing my boat up my driveway....Triton does it with ease automatic....Navara auto need to go into low box to do it......vitara manual not a hope reverse is way too high.

In the process of ordering a 2021 hilux atm, long wait but no stress. The secondhand market that’s not far off new is ridiculous at the moment so there’s no real gain going that way vs new so long as you don’t mind the wait.

Anyone pre odered one of those Gucci LandCruiser 300's?? I see there's going to be up to a 4 year wait for punters who have already put some money down, to receive theirs. Marketing dudes did too well, and had 20,000 punters signed up when the factory can only make 5,000 of them annually!

I got offered more on a trade than what my hilux is insured for!

The stupid ute tax has only served to increase the price of second hand utes. Idiot Red female and Green dork couldn't organise a bigger cockup if they tried.

Im really struggling to understand how a new vehicle tax is pushing up the price of second hand vehicles? Not saying its not happening just dont understand why?

Also how the hell can you trade a worn out ute for a new one for effectively 3k difference (minus the dirty ute tax) when new is apparently in such short supply?

Mitsi Outlanders are the bloody same though, brought a brand new runout for the missus for $32,990 off the dealer's floor because a rough external condition one at 3.5 years old and 115,000K's was priced at $27,990. It looked to have been an ex-company vehicle, dragged a trailer it's whole life and drove like it had been bounced off every polthole between here and Invercargill. The new one was a LS spec and not the 4wd LSX or whatever it was, which it's a town car for us so no need for 4wd anyway but did come with a heap more in the way of in-cab driver aids and safety features plus electric everything being 3.5 years newer. The only things it didn't have were radar cruise control (town car so again no real loss) and lane avoidance (which is the same).

Yeah....9 months ago looked at a tidy second hand Vitara for the wife.....they were asking 27 from memory....nearly 4years old...test drove said to salesman we like it but not the price...the price is the price he said.( Got an immediate fuck you response in my head but said something more pleasant)
So typical wanker car salesman....sleazy cunts the lot of them starts texting me and the wife separately trying to cut a deal.

End result we brought a brand new base model ( with some finance) for less total cost than a three year old one...Wtf.

And I did make a point of texting said slimeball and telling him we had bought new for less.

There’s just a lack of supply, drove past the local Toyota place last month and there wasn’t a hilux on the lot!

4-5 month wait for new Rangers, hilux probably the same, lot of folk wanting them before Cindys tax comes in.

Its not the new tax its more the shortage of new vehicles, so supply and demand. So it filters through the second hand market

7 month wait on a sr5 hilux, Dont know what @stagstalker was told the wait was. Sr was model was longer. So toyota doesn't have any hilux's in stock and believe over 10000 new vehicles on back order
There seems to be a lot of new Rangers sitting on lots.

That's because 200-250Km they shit themselves, if not before
Mazda the same
Ford Dealers go.... 180km " 'Good km' then the tell you 200 is high. Wankers.

I know 2 brand new buyers that the fords have shit between 225 and 250, one of them driving home from a service
Ford doesn't want to know.
Fuck Ford NZ
