This is seriously ridiculous .. hope no one buys it

it's an auto as well....

Who is he trying to rip off? Lol! My GTS auto is not even worth that much.

ahhh but you see, thats a Limited Edition GT :P comes with a rubber boot mat and spare tire~! totally worth the extra 10g

With no paddles shifters or LSD the auto GT is the least value for money. But given how quick they disappear off carsales they seem to be popular too. :iono:

Did he force you to buy it? Is that how you got ripped off? Mines worth $120 000. Want to buy it? It's manual

There is no rip off here. It is inflated price but no one is being forced to buy the car. I would be more inclined to make fun of someone buying the car than a business try to make money given the opportunity.

lOL thats at airport toyota in essendon in VIC

nice plates tho

Supply and demand my friend.

Why are diamonds worth more than cubic zirconia

Well, all he needs is someone to be ignorant of the RRP, or willing to pay to have a car straight away. Its a free market. Wont be me though.

TMCA will not be very pleased. They sent out a bulletin to all dealers just after the launch specifying in no uncertain terms that the vehicles are NOT to be sold above RRP.

I award his courage for trying to take advantage of the good ol' supply vs demand debacle; and there will almost certainly be someone out their prepared to pay an excess for immediate delivery.

Yep...that's totally worth it. :popcorn:

but it has the bluetooths :P lol

diamonds have a hardness of 10 on Mohs scale, CZ's is like 8ish. also the scale is not relative, so diamonds hardness is not 20% harder than cz, it is 1000%'s harder :)

Plus cubics are man made, where as diamonds are naturally formed. BUT, there is such a thing as man made diamonds (synthetic diamonds) but they can only make them in a size of around 1/4 carats, so nothing to worry about yet.

:threadjacked: :P

well with only 1 plant in the world maybe all the cars are being sent to the US for 24k ~ lol

maybe the car prices are higher down there in australia? I know a BMW3 series (30k here) is 50k there. i dont know toyota prices though.

rip off....

bargin if you have no patience :thumbsup:

you wouldnt happen to have a copy of that would you??

That's just absurdly overpriced and it also seems to be a demo car with almost 1000km on the clock rofl...

though there are 3 other 86 GTs on carsales with even cheaper prices lol which again is still a rip off...

Not sure who would buy a demo car that would have been flogged so much and pay a premium on top

We're all paying excess for this car even at the current RRP. We're all being ripped off man. RRP is close to 39k. this aint a 39K car. Just sayin. I still ordered one!!!! :burnrubber: yay!!!

As defined above, a "Rip Off" is where the purchaser was unable to avoid the excessive price charged. You made the decision to buy the vehicle, therefore you weren't ripped off.

Also, the Retail prices set by Toyota i think are very conservative, i would be inclined to say the Stamp Duties, Dealer Delivery Fees, and registration costs are the only rip offs associated with most new vehicle purchases.

The dealer will probably justify the price with "It's got aftermarket tint, paint protection, interior protection, and includes dealer delivery fee, taxes etc..."

I'd like to see anyone getting into a new 3 series of 50k on the road, try 65k

And in my opinion, we are being exploited and swindled in Australia. It would be very difficult to prevent or counter the price of at least 38K for the top model. In my opinion, this is too much. No one is twisting my arm to buy the car. I can afford the car. But at the same time, I don't agree with the price we are paying. This is only my opinion on the matter. :party0030:

hmm it seems to have been unlisted. wonder if some sucker actually bought it?

Yes I have a copy, but it is for internal distribution only and i don't plan on jeopardizing my dealership or my job :w00t:

pm on its way mate

Hardness has nothing to do with it since synthesized can be/is used for industrial application. For bling bling hardness doesn't matter. They expensive cuz you want to pay for them ;)

you can sell a used car for whatever you want, look at anything BROCK in the commodore range for instance. Does that mean people selling those cars are ripping others off? As for a new car-yes you are correct, it needs to comply with RRP.

Raise you one! Now THIS is a rip off! :confused0068:

i wonder how much more for satnav? $12k should be reasonable?

Me thinks they got the 3 and 6 the wrong way round!

dam...catching up to the 370z price!

Maybe I should put my GT on car sales for $50k and see what happens :P

LOVE it - a $40k car at Nissan 370Z price!!! :w00t:

Haha and excluding on roads...

I got offered $50k for the Aero Kit the other day serious offer I almost caved
