I've got to keep my 316 running until I have the deposit and finance sorted. Poor old girl's on her last legs I think. Just have to nurse it around for a few more months.

Well I was to be on this register but after almost 6 months of having our pre-order in we decided to bail the other week and cancelled our order.

Hey guys, I've also been tracking this car. I've heard from a reliable source. That this car will cost around the 47k mark. Are you guys willing to spend that much on this car?

On the other hand, my source could be wrong. 47k for the 86 is a tad too much for me. I'm now looking at other options.

Got some updates for you guys in my commercial section post:

We've been told by our Toyota Australia rep that the final pricing is going to be alot cheaper than the speculated pricing....man i just wish they would tell us.

Staticfrost · 05-07-2012, 08:23 AM

Why can't they just tell you already!!!

I have seen 43k for GTS drive away. What would you be expecting?

newft86 · 05-07-2012, 08:27 AM

All i've heard is more rumors, getting sick of the rumors frankly, latest one i heard from our friendly Toyota rep is under 40k maybe even for GTS....still not fact though... can't wait to be giving all my customers that phone call....can't come soon enough.

pr0j · 05-07-2012, 10:02 AM

Think I'll come down on the weekend and have a chat

Southside you say?

*EDIT* /facepalm! i mean to a Brissy dealer.

davey90 · 05-07-2012, 07:52 PM

I got a gut feeling the price is going to come out like 2 or 3 weeks before full ordering. Don't know when that is, since dates fly from one date to the next...

A kitchen, bathroom, driveway, living room etc....

lol

We decided that we'll spend our money on our house for now and re-visit this later, still not ruling out the 86. When the demo's roll in I'll take a trip down to the dealership and have a goosie gander.. it's between the 125i & 86 for us... although I wish my partner wasn't on her P's still cos it'd be 135i time.

Not sure about the 135i, but I can tell you now that the 125i has really little leg room for the back (not sure if this goes for the 86 as well) if you're a slightly tall bloke like myself (1.85m-1.9m [i don't think that's considered tall, right?]). Just giving you a heads up, I have a 120d (Diesel Turbo) besides all that, its a neat car, it feels a little heavy not just on the wheel. they've probably changed all that I'm too not sure as I have the 2006 model.:happy0180:

Not overly concerned for passengers we have an X5 for that!

Have tested the waters on the 125i (coupe) ticks all the boxes, its more expensive and a slightly different beast, none the less a very well balanced car.

Like most of you cannot wait to try out the 86!
