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! :)

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
