Hey guys! What up!

I'm in the market to buy an Aurion; going to convert from Falcon to as i've driven quite a few Aurions and do love the drive.

I'm looking at one Aurion at the moment, linked below. Seen it, driven it, the dealer says it's an ex-lease and won't budge on the price, perhaps knock a couple of hundred off as the price has come down from $28K.

Just a grasp on the idea of what you guys think???

At that price would I be in for a bargain?

I've noticed in other dealer yards they can range in price. Where I'm looking now they're selling Aurion SX6's averaging the $30K mark.

Thanks fellas!

Mark

the link shows $24999 drive away price. Drive it on a bumpy road to check for dash rattles.

Does say that, but I have to say, $28k is a lot for the KMs on it.

Hey Chief. I'm from Melbourne so it's a bit far away to go and get yours! but i'd look into it if we were in the same state!

Thanks for all the help guys.

what do you think about buying through Hertz Car Sales?

http://www.hertzcarsales.com.au/details.as...mp;dlr=hertzgee

as far as i know they are all serviced by a toyotadealer and have the remaining factory warranty so should be ok,just check the vehicle out first and all should be fine-do a search on here and you will see others have purchased ex rentals and had no problems at all-daryl or djkor is just 1 of many

Are you trading in your Falcon?

Just a little info here.

I got a TRD from a Toyo dealer from an advertised price of $40k, I payed $31k after trading in a Holden Barina SRi. So for me $28k is a bit pricey (but then again the link wont open and I cant see the car), surely you could knock the price down more.

Good luck.

I'm in the market to buy an Aurion; going to convert from Falcon to as i've driven quite a few Aurions and do love the drive.

My wife off-loaded her 06 XR-8 to get an 07 Presara - bad call. Leaked through the moonroof, internal lights fell out, wheel hops under heavy acceleration - what a fizzer. I much preferred the Falcon (except in the wet)

Offloaded it for an 08 model - not much better.

Just tried to get her an 09 TRD but have been told they are no longer available. She has been told that the 09-10 Presara will be better but $5K extra.

I wish they were not so boooring.

Anyway, each to there own. She drives what she wants (as can you) As long as I drive what I want, life is fine.

Couldn't agree with the highlighted statement more. Sounds like you're wife got some pretty dud Aurions, did she consider buying from someone trust worthy? She may also need to lay off the accelerator a bit, maybe get some new tyres. My dad has had an 07 Presara since brand new with not a single issue to date, it's the whole reason I am looking to get one of my own (most likely a ZR6) when circumstances permit.

Toyota's are generally very good, reliable, solid cars. It's very unusual for you to have such a bad experience, especially two cars in a row.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
