60K drive away!!!

The reason you can get one for 47k in NT is cause it would be either a 2009 or 2010 model.

$13600 in extras on a $40k car lol! pretty flash gti!

Never been a fan of nav, why the hell would anyone pay a few thousand on one is way beyond me?

That is easily golf R money right there, which is better spec'd to start with, or $10k more than a scirocco R... Let alone Sti/evo...

$3000???!!! i paid $400 for the 30k km service for mine, a free loan car was included too.

if your friend's car needed all fluid change, either he trashed the car or there are defects which should be under warranty i assume.

btw it's my first post here after looking here for a looooong time. it's only a few weeks away till Tokyo Motor Show and i can't wait!!

35 years ago the original GTI was a fwd hatchback with a bigger engine than the bread and butter. which is basically what the current GTI is.

the R32 (or R) being 4wd etc were never what the original GTI was.

getting back on topic, personally my view is (or my hope is), FT86 to come in 2 models. a basic starting at $35k + onroad and a loaded for around $40-45k + on road.

there is no way it will sell at Corolla/Rukus $$ and anything over $50k is dreaming (megane or Sirocco R are much better car selling near that price point).

in terms of powers and feature, FT86 will be similar to Civic Type R (FN2). i just hope Toyota is not as greedy and starts at $39,990 + on road (that's not what i call affordable sports car).

just give me a basic car at cheap price with air con, steelies, no airbags and even stereo. i am getting aftermarket stuff anyway.

Yeah, I missed this comment....

Drop a zero off that and I'll believe you. And if there was something wrong, they got 3 year unlimited km warranty.

30k service is just an oil change and a brake fluid flush. And it's 15k km service intervals, unlike toyota's 10k km services.

Have you ever got a service from Toyota? Like most dealers, they cost a few hundred more than other mechanics. Try owning a Prado! It's pure rape here in Darwin, I got my Honda 70k service done here yesterday, Honda wanted $400, I got it done for $135... And that's for a minor service only (honda only change oil, no filter or farkall). My Prado is up to it's 110k km (minor) service, booked in with my mech for next week already, but I'll get a quote off toyota and post them both for shits and giggles.

But anyway, they are all as bad as each other......

i'd just pay the cap price with the FT then take it to my mechanic once warranty ends.

Off topic slightly, I'm very happy there are more and more oz members. I was worried there for a while when there was me+2more in Brisbane. Now there are much more, meanin by the time the car comes out, we can actually have proper meets once in a while

:p yeha ozzies!!

Well got another update from a diff dealer...

Hi Scott,

Pricing for FT86 is not confirmed yet, still negotiating with Toyota in Japan.

All we can say at this stage is we're negotiating for a price starting with a 3.

The launch in Australia is currently scheduled for mid 2012.

Regards.

Mike

so lets hope its 31999 :P or 30009 :P but i would be happy if it was 34999

This, what is an ISF worth over here, $100,000+? Its more isnt it as theyre to compete with the M3 and S4 Etc.

My local scion dealer (US) said that I should expect around 27k, fully loaded. He was honest and seemed to give more basic info without any puffery. I felt he was trustworthy. I can't remember the starting price, but I think it was around 23k. Just incase anyone in the US was wondering..

Which dealership is this so we know which one not to go to! What's fully loaded, a shift knob, paint protectant, floor mats, mudguards, door sills, graphics kit, gold emblems, 1 yr subscription of XM, rear lip spoiler and fog lights.

If he was honest, he wouldn't throw out some random numbers w/out an official release from Toyota. You should expect!?!
