Forget brokers, I spent only around 2 hours on negotiating when I bought mine and that was the first day I went out to shop for my car. I got it for $27300 driveaway with floor mats. You just have to know how to play the dealers and when to say no. The first dealership I went to (where I test drove the car) wouldn't come down to the price I want so I just went to another dealer and bought it there.

Once we decided what we wanted, we just told the broker that and within the hour he had a price we were happy with, plus an excellent price on our trade.

Some people are naturally very good at negotiating, for the rest of us to just ring someone and have it sorted in next to no time with no effort on our part, how can you go wrong?

Having a mate who is an excellent negotiator, however, I do know the fun he has playing with dealers. He negotied $3000 off one of his cars, over a period of two weeks, and the dealer's hand was shaking so much when he did the paperwork, he didn't even realise he'd written the wrong price on the contract, so another $1000 came off just like that! :)

Negotiating is a waste of time, thats just annoys dealers. Just tell them what you are prepared to pay, and if they agree buy it and if not walk and go to another dealer!!

Forums like this are very useful to find the lowest prices dealers will go. Thats all the info you need!

I know it might not be that much of a discount but why not try the car auctions.

Dad was saying that one of the people he was talking to bought an ex shell tanker, it came with a brand new paint job, re built motor and it only cost them 66000. I think it was a 12 tonner.

Dad bought his through a truck yard, it was an 03 model, 50000k and it cost him 67000.

Just goes to show that hte auctions might be good after all?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
