Bought a new Aurion Sportivo SX6 in Caribbean Blue from Chatswood Toyota. Do you think I got a good deal - $35,500 with a full tank of petrol and metallic paint?

Picking it up this arvo - will post a pic or two here later...

That's a really sweet deal. Considering it's only $5,500 more than what the Corolla Sportivo cost new. Not only that but you get a V6 with Sportivo trim. :clap:

Oh. My. ***.

I picked it up. Went into a side street to turn around and completely scuffed the front underside wing. I feel so sick.

Awesome car to drive apart from that though...

The compliance plate and resale value!

Congrats on the new car! Do you mean you scrathed the skirt at the front? Don't worry, It happens!

Yes - the skirt. Its quite a small skirt at the front. Anyone know how much they are to replace?

Lol that's a shame u scraped it on the first day...but don't worry, I scraped mine when it was 2 days old too <_< and now there's this big black mark towards the front side.

Is that $35,500 drive away? That's quite a good deal, depends on the '06 month and if it's an actual demo though. I got my Zr6 for less than the retail price anyway drive away, but it was completely completely brand new. Chatswood Toyota had a few of them Sx6's to get rid off in the beginning of the year, and they wouldn't sell me the Zr6 for cheap as they had to order it as well, and they would rather get rid of the Sx6's.

But congrats on the car, I wouldn't worry too much about the skirt though, unless it's a big mark/dent and it bothers you.

Nice choice. Seriously good bang for your buck with the 200Kw V6 in the Aurion way better than the 4cyl and old auto 3L V6 Sportivo even with a few extra kilos on the chassis.

This Sportivo front skirts are diabolical for parking so don't worry. I don't know how you are supposed to drive them over car park speed bumps let alone park close to gutters wihout occasionally scraping them.

Presara's dont get the SX ZX body kits so i am fine but even so the front is low and the corners protude enough to be awkward.

Well, when we replaced ours after the "incident" (Weight sets don't go to well near cars) it costed the bloke who did it $140. Now the whole front of it is 1 part (the coloured parts and the fog light protectors are all 1 part,only on the sport models though) This price was at wholesale price to, unpainted. So you be looking at prob over $300, really not worth it.

We have been quoted $100 for a scrape and spray from Toyota, so going to do that. Although its a fairly small few scratches, it breaks my heart when I look at it so I have to get it done!

don't worry about the front skirt. Mine scraped while reversing down a steep driveway.

I even reversed slowly, had my foot on the brakes all the time!

I vouched to never go up/down those steep driveway again!

EDIT: Congrats on buying an SX6! :)

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.
