  1. Is that $60k on the road??
  2. What about these guys? http://www.vaistech.com Would these units do the trick? I have emailed them to find out if they have distributors in Oz.
  3. Not sure that fuel economy is that crash hot! Apart from that and the issue with the sensors are u happy with the car?
  4. Hi! Good topic! We paid 64,800 OTR with rear sensors, rear cargo mat, side rails, floor mats, and street legal tint on front side windows. It's eboney in colour. Order Dec, Est. Delivery Mar. Haggled for an hour or so with the fleet manager. It's a private purchase - tried to get a fleet discout out of him (the fleet manager) but no way Jose. Absolutely no way can I imagine buying one for $57K. I think the dealers can knock a bit off the 66K once you've decided to buy. I may have got another $1K or $2K off if I had of been a bit more cunning and persistent with the dealer. eg. I'd love to have got the price down to $64,800, then said "give me a ring if you can do it for $63K, and walk out. (Isn't hind-sight wonderful) Thanks for the replies. By the sounds of it I think I probably have paid a bit over the odds - or at least I should've got a couple of free car mats!! Still, I have to say I am looking forward to getting the car. We currently drive a 2002 X5 and it is a great drive. Everyone laughs when I tell them I selling the X5 and downgrading to a Toyota! I priced, and almost signed for, an X5 3.0d Executive with 7 seats at $130k on the road. So, for $70K extra to the Kluger I was going to get less space, no auto boot, almost useless 3rd row, inferior leather, inferior (European-designed) aircon, badly positioned DVD player with smaller screen, the joke that is iDrive, very expensive servicing (just paid BMW Sydney $750 for an "oil-change service", space-saver spare etc etc.... So, I tell people I am UPGRADING from the BMW to a Kluger! I would've paid RRP for the Kluger (he lied) if it is as good as it seems. Here's hoping it is!

    Kluger Price

    Probably not a good idea asking as I guess some people are tempted to perhaps not be totally honest about the $$ they pay... but we've been quoted $66k for Grande AWD with Metallic on the road. Only option is front and rear parking sensors. No mats, sidesteps or any other options. My question is simply: Is that a good price? I know this is less than RRP (but who pays RRP ayway). I don't know why but I just feel like I'm paying over the odds
  7. Hi, just ordered a '08 Kluger Grande AWD today from privatefleet.com.au. After looking at some of the deals people have mentioned on this forum I won't be boasting about the price I'll be paying!! I've paid the dposit but not signed the agreement so perhaps I can still negotiate! A couple of things that existing owners may be able to assist with: a) Park assist sensors. I did not see this as an option on the website/brochure. The other half has used these in my X5 and has got used to them. Is this a dealer fit? How much? B) iPod integration. I take it that is not possible? As a general point I can't believe this car comes with as many standard options as it does. Even though I'll be paying over the odds it is still a fantastic deal when compared to an X5 with the same options.
