Anyone?

Hi, Does anyone have any pictures of a kluger 2008 model with a non-genuine towbar. I am trying to make up my mind - genuine or non genuine. Thanks

For the Kluger?

I need to seat covers for a Kluger kx-s. I spoke to a dealer and the ones they had are not compatible with the airbags. All suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Is that fitted (everything included wiring etc)?

What’s the ‘real’ (non inflated) price for a towbar incl fitting etc?

\Many thanks for all the replies.

I will take possession of my BRAND NEW AWD KLUGER KX-S in app. 9 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes and 4 seconds!!! My question is, is it better to buy a factory fitted towbar from Toyota or will I save money (and is it worth it) if I buy the tow bar from an aftermarket place? Not sure if it makes a difference, I have front and rear parking sensors installed. Oohh what a feeeeliiiing

Hi, “You got the KX-S AWD, correct? What was your rough OTR price? I'm getting mildly different prices from different dealers.” I can’t give the exact price (2008 model) as I had an excellent deal due to family connections (would not be fair to the sales rep). My advice to you is to go for a test drive at a dealership once you have spoken to a rep on the phone. Also, settle for one model; don’t tell them you are interested in the KX-S AWD (or 2WD) or the Grande etc. Another important factor is that you know what you are talking about when you see the sales rep. If you are interested in the KX-S AWD, then have a look at the Kluger Micro site and ‘view’ the different features. Tell them that you have done your research and are ready to buy the car now. Their reply will be, “So, you are happy to sign a contract today then if I give you a good price?” Tell them that you need to have their best price so that you can discuss it with your wife (or partner) today. Tell them that if you don’t get their best price then you cannot discuss it with your wife/partner. Obviously, they will not give you their lowest price but it will give you an indication about the ‘actual’ lowest price. Once you get a good discount, then it is time to see the next dealer. Repeat the process; tell the sales rep that you would like to test drive the car. Tell him/her that you need to have the best price DUE TO THE FACT THAT you are thaaaaat close to buy the car. Negotiation is the key word, and once you get a price that you are happy with then you are getting a good deal. Also remember, that prices in Perth are slightly different to Melbourne for instance. Once you are ready to sign the contract, that’s the time when you add any extras that you want. Remember to check the prices for extras (nudge bar etc) so that they can’t inflate the prices for the extras. Good luck, the KX-S AWD is an excellent car.

Ah, damn... bloody Toyota WA, they're in a world of their own (literally) over there! <_< Ohh what a feeelinnnngg!

I cannot wait to get the car!!! One month is a long wait........ BTW, the dealership that I bought the car from was Kalamunda Toyota (Perth hills), the sales person was a young guy called Jaiden. Maybe I should also mention the names of the sales people at the dealerships that were telling lie after lie trying to secure a deal. What goes around comes ............ KX-S Yeah, be careful mate, defamation ouch ouch... Usually the young sales blokes are dumb as dogturds, but it sounds like you've found one with some common sense. Congrats on your purchase. Definitely the best looking model in the Kluger range! Ask if you can get the COWT (Track my Toyota) batch and COSI number details to keep an eye on its progress. Apparently, the cowt is not used in Western Australia for whatever reason. I asked the sales guy and that’s what he told me. In relation to defamation, I would never mention the names of the dishonest sales people that I encountered but I sure wish I could do that to help others.

I bought a (Thursday morning) a brand new 2008 Toyota Kluger AWD KX-S (with front and rear parking sensors) with delivery end of March. I went to several Toyota dealers in Perth and must admit that I was very disappointed with the majority of the sales people. The sales people (and sales managers) told me that many lies and came across as desperate people with one aim, sign the deal and forget about repeat business from the customer. I decided to buy the car from a sales person that did not pressure me, allowed me to take my time (I did take a lot of time), answered my questions, did not make me feel like a stupid customer that does not know anything. Even the sales manager was courteous and did not pressure me to sign. What a difference! My Kluger will arrive in Fremantle around 21 March and expected delivery to the dealership is a week later. Cheers
