So we ended up deciding against buying a new Toyota Prado GXL and is now seriously looking into a secondhand Audi Q7. The car is a 2012 model with 44,732km on it. The dealership has it advertised at $64,990 drive away. What price do you think I can realistically get the price down to from the advertised price?

if you're going second hand then why not go for a prado from the last few years?
plenty of 2013/14 Prado GXLs with less than 40,000kms and under $52,000.
That depends, what made you pick that car? Cheapest on Carsales for that year and kms, or are there cheaper?
Toyota = cheap parts, not so expensive services.
Audi = expensive parts, bye bye savings.

Audi = expensive parts, bye bye savings.i know this is ozb and saving is the name of the game, but op may want more than a tin box to get from a to b. the consensus is that a family vehicle made by toyota is boring to drive. euro made, especially german, italian and perhaps english makes vehicles that are fun to drive. our company car is a toyota. >500km or >10 hrs a week, every week. it's reliable and cheap to run ($10/p 100km), but we would trade it for a euro any day of the week.
one more thing. anyone that can drop a year's net income on a vehicle isn't really concerned about the tco.
It's 10 l/p 100km, not $10/p 100km.
anyone that can drop a year's net income on a 4 year old vehicle isn't really concerned about the tco.
ftfy.
every mum out there has a prado… few have a Q7
but yeah, if you have $65k to spend on a 3y.o Q7 you dont need our opinion or anyones really
Or if the Prado drive isn't car like enough, there is always the Kluger.
There's a reason why German cars are cheap after 4-5 years.. service! Goes exponential apparently.
What price do you think I can realistically get the price down to from the advertised price?
The dealer will still make good profit if he accepted $50K but that depends on many factors only himself knows like his experience with the market and how long it has been advertised for this price.
Have you bought any car yet?
Yes we ended up buying a 2013 BMW X5 Diesel 41,000km. Asking price was $66,800, tow bar $2,800. Bargained down to $66,000 flat with tow bar. Car also comes with 3 years free servicing. Hope we did ok on the price…
Any updates on this buy? how is it all going?
Buy the Prado, i often find last minute changes rarely work out.
