I was informed the official wholesale/release date for the facelift Kluger is October 8. This is in Victoria, so I'm not 100% sure if this varies from state to state if you're from outside Victoria. History tells me that if October 8 (Friday) is the release date it's only a 50% chance that your car will even arrive at the dealership Friday. I would expect Monday, then it needs to be prepared for delivery to you etc.

I've got my eye on an AWD Kluger 7 Seat KX-R to be released tomorrow, and boy would I love to be in it by the weekend but I just don't think it's going to happen!

Cheers,

Scud

That matches what I've been told. I'm hoping to have my vehicle by this time next week. *crosses fingers*

Hi Guys has anyone got a confirmed price yet.. Has the pricing chnaged? At the moment i cant get a straight answer from anywhere?

Thanks

No official pricing released, more than likely will be released tomorrow.

If you're located in Victoria, drop me a message I can work out a price for you :)

Sorry, my post must have sounded like I wasn't certain.

It is most definitely being released 8th october.

Cheers

Cheers Scud, the email my dealer fwd from Toyota Australia said the 7th (he was trying to get the vehicle earlier as it was already sold and was a birthday present).

Looks like it will be next week then... :(

I negotiated an agreed fixed price for AWD Grande about 6 weeks ago. The dealer asked me not to post the price on forums, and as he has been good to me I will respect his wishes, suffice to say was lower that current retail, with some goodies thrown in.

As did I (negotiated a fixed price). Unless you had it struck out, the paperwork you signed when ordering the car has a clause that covers the dealer for price rises and passing them on. The US Highlander had a price rise, which means potentially we will too. It's not to say that the dealer won't honour your agreement, but if the differential is too high, you might find them pointing you to that clause.

I'm hoping the dealers are good to their word.

I'd be surprised if the Kluger has much of a price rise. If you read the bulletin regarding the new Hilux that was released on the press room website yesterday you'd notice they mentioned Hiluxes revisions are not going to attract a price increase.

As you'd mostly be aware, Toyota's cars are generally dearer than their competitions vehicles. It wouldn't be too wise to keep increasing these prices if we are already border line not being competitive enough etc.

I could lock in a price, sure, but as you mentioned the contract you signed states clearly that if the price goes up the dealer is permitted to increase the price - unless of course you expressly had it noted in the additional conditions that "Regardless of any Toyota price increase, contract price agreed upon will not increase with facelift model." etc

Yeah, I guess although I'd be surprised if it doesn't stick as we agreed they would wear any change in price and I've got an invoice that the finance company is getting ready to pay. I'll let you know if they don't honor it .... there will be a big noise :)

You've done well getting the invoice. My dealer won't release it until the release date.

And likewise if my deal is not honoured. There will be a hell of a racket here too.

They are probably trying to protect themselves. You should know tomorrow whether there will be a price increase.. Did you stipulate a get out clause if they try and increase the price on the contract?

Gentlemen's agreement. I believe the contract has a get out clause with a price rise.

Fair call. I wouldn't be trusting a gentlemans agreement when it comes to the car trade. You should really get everything in writing.. even from my side of the fence it works the same way. The back of the contract stipulates that the price may be increased if decided so by the manufacturer/distributor of the vehicle publishes a price change.

Basically, the contract stipulates that the dealership can notify you of the price change and you have 3 days to choose whether to opt out or not. If the 3 days pass, you're stuck with it.

For sure. I tried getting the price rise bit struck out, but no dice. The three day thing is what I recalled. If the price goes up and they try to pass it on, you may get a message for a quote.

My stock controller has indicated that the earliest date we are receiving new Kluger's in Melbourne is the 13th October. Of course, Toyota's eta dates are not always 100% correct.

No news on the pricing front as yet.

Whilst I'm happy to help with that, by no means do I wish to list the pricing of all Kluger models.

If you do want to know the RRP price of the Kluger, send me a message and I shall let you know.

Cheers

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
