About a year ago I was in the market for a higher end 4wd.
I had time and so looked carefully at 4-5 different brand dealerships.
None were in any real mood to negotiate and so I ended up taking best value offered in one brand.
On the night before I was going to sign up for the deal I went on to a well known car sales web site and looked up late model offerings of the car I was going to buy and found one at a dealer with just 13,000 km, 6 months registration, full 3 year warranty and an upmarket factory installed driver assist package with adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, lane depart, blind spot warning and a few more ... the price to me was $25,000 under new car price and they insisted on fitting tinting, boot liner and a few other bits n pieces.
I grabbed a Volvo XC60 for well under a the price of base model Hilux 4wd.
So, if you have time have a look for similar late model in the brand you want ... you may be rewarded?
