Hi guys, my first post.
I’m looking to buy a Toyota Parado Kakadu but don’t know how much is the right price. Dealer list is over $90k but how much is the real deal? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks mate . I have seen some dealer special around $82 k . I’m confused
Prado?
Yeah but the Parramata special edition. Apparently only 10 made.
There's usually about a 10% margin in new cars. Expect to negotiate down to around 81 or 82k, no less. These cars hold their value so usually dealerships can easily shift them at list price anyway.
Buy a 1 year old one. Massive discount.
Add stamp duty = fk all discount
Massive discount over purchasing a new one, I meant.
Show me
Coz I've seen the resale prices on our SUVs and there's no 'massive discount' at the 1yr mark
$73,500 = cheapest
Add $4,800 stamp duty = $78,300 drive away
That's a 2018, 25,000kms, old warranty till 2021 or 100,000kms.
New one can come down to about $85k drive away. 5yr warranty, 7yrs on engine and drive train.
If $6,700 discount, or less than 10% is considered 'massive' on a 1yo car with less warranty then I'm surprised.
@spackbace: Okay do the same maths for a 2 or 3 year old one. I was more considering smaller cars when I threw out the 1 year figure. For a 1 year old vehicle the economics is probably about the same vs buying new.
@[Deactivated]: sigh
Considering the car had an upgrade in late 2017 then sure, models before that will be cheaper. But they have little to no warranty left, and if they're pushing 50,000-60,000kms they might need tyres, brakes etc. It's a false economy.
Toyota SUVs see less than 10% drop each year.
The flipside is that you could buy new, own it for 3yrs and have full warranty and only need to service it (under capped price servicing) and sell it for more than 50% of the purchase price. You drive the newest, safest car you can and maintenance costs are low.
I hate blanket statements like yours that don't show proof, and then when given proof to the contrary you have an epic backpedal.
Just don't make blanket statements without research. Very easy to disprove.
@spackbace: Alright alright, ease up turbo, nothing wrong with putting out a generally true statement. More than happy to be contradicted.
I'm still right if you're talking purely financially though. A 3yr old Prado is going to be cheaper than a new one even if it needs tires and is out of warranty.
@spackbace: Yeah no kidding. The point is there is a compromise between cheap and old and brand new.
Used.. pay stamp duty (ouch), may have part yr warranty & ctp, part worn tyres, battery, brakes, partial factory warranty, etc…
Usually less trade in on used cars. How has that used car been used (abused in the past yr?)… etc..
It would have to be a massive saving over new to be worthwhile…
That's correct, the Retail price is just under $91K.
The only way to get it cheaper would be to shop around among Dealers and see who is willing to bargain to make the sale.
At that price I'm certain that they aren't flying off the Lot, so a bit of haggling might be in order.
If you don't want a brand new one, they sell for about $75k second hand for a 2017 model.
