Need to change my name now :yahoo: put a deposit on a KX-R ex demo 7 seater AWD Sage Green with 3000km drive away $40,000 with 13 months reg. Downside is that the car is nearly 12mths old but as we plan to keep it for 10 years or so this really does not make much difference in the long run. Upside is that we got an AWD, something we didnt think we would get in our price range. Its also in my fave colour. Car looks brand new.

Just hope we got a good deal now, and that its a good car.

Who would have thought spending $40,000 would be so hard!

Hey! Easy Taka! :)

May I say welcome to the Sage Green club - its a very distinguished and elite club. :toast:

You did well to get both the 7 seats and AWD for that price I think. And yeah, if you're planning to keep it for a while, the resale wont be an issue. Ours is a 2007 build too.

Green is a colour you either love or hate ;) and it really would have been the colour I picked if I had a choice. I love the fact that its not the most selected colour. Have driven a white commodore wagon for 8 years and it seems so does a large majority of the population. There are 3 cars the same in my street alone! looking forward to getting something a little "different".

Thanks for the welcome :P

Welcome and congratulations. Sage Green is very special colour and as Scott_C pointed out, you are now memeber of a very special Sage Green Club. Our car is also 2007 build, we plan to keep it for a while hence resale value should not ne an issue particularly if you look after the car. Once again, congratulations

After driving a commy for 8 yrs your gona just love your new beast.

I've always had commodores upgraded to new every two or three yrs and the change to Kluger AWD keeps me smiling every day.

I'm over the additional cost to our family, althought it was a hard decision at first to break away from the cheaper commodores.

I can now launch my boat at any water level at the several local weir ramps or even of the dirt ramps. That was primary reason for the shift to the AWD.

Mine was onroad last Nov 2007 and build date of Aug 2007.

Don't let the 2007 build date worry you the slightest. When your cruising down a dirt track or on the tar, it's the last thing on your mind.

My neighbours old man has the green and it looks the goods in style.

Enjoy the beast along with the good price. I too will keep mine for a while, till retirement in 10.5 yr 4months and 16 days.

Then upgrade it to another Kluger or Prado depending on what I need to tow at such time.

Enjoy the beast.

Finally picked up the car last week. Hubby and I just LOVE IT!!!! :yahoo: The 3 kids seats fit in better than expected and its a dream to drive. Still a couple of issues that the dealer needs to sort. Totally disappointed with them and would never go back but in the end I got the car I wanted in our price range. Still getting use to seeing how much fuel I use when I put my foot down. I am now driving like a Nanna (remember I had a commodore so I use to drive it like it was stolen!) Not looking forward to washing it, its HUGE.

The gen Kluger rubber mat cost us $85 + 8.50 gst.

It's the best access I brought and fits the rear area like a glove. Whilst being thick, tough and provides heaps of antislip.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
