wait speedwerk tryin to tell kurps he cya buy ah hilux dey....

[DJ Q]

First off please dont compare that ugly thing called Mahindra with a new hilux. Second, when that crap breaks down the hilux will still be going strong.Third, in ten years I can sell the hilux and buy 10 Mahindra's. Forth and final, if you can afford a hilux you wont be rating a Mahindra or will ever look at that thing twice.

Fanboy much?

[kurpal_v2]

I wonder if he even owns a hilux :/

[aidan]

Anyone knows if the VW Amarok gonna be sold here?

Cuz jus came back from europe and is raving about how great it is.

[drchaos]

BA say they might be getting it soon, but they did not tell me an exact date. VW don't view us as a really important market so they give us limited selection of their range.

[kurpal_v2]

If that ever reaches our shOres I'd be surprised to see a sub $300,000 starting price.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Ok never mind. It's almost the price of a passat.

was listening to 100.1 fm on the drive home and heard an ad talking about some redesigned Lexus models, which can now be seen at Toyota's Barataria location. Guy mentioned the new RX, as well as two variants of the Lexus G5 model; I was a bit confused until I realized he was talkin about the GS

Any idea of the prices?

From Toyota Trinidad's Facebook Page:

Lexus GS 250 - $850,000
Lexus GS 350 - $895,000
Lexus RX 350 - $865.000

You could buy one of these in Europe or Japan and bring it to Trinidad and it would still be cheaper than what Toyota trinidad asking for it. On a UK Lexus site the price of the GS250 is GBP33k. Calculate the shipping costs, MVT and VAT. I think it would still be cheaper.

On most 4x4 forums the reviews of the van comes in high praise but laments that with a higher price than the hilux it's got a tough future, that's in SA and Australia, highly dout trini would be different



Hope they don't pull a Chevy and decide to only bring a "hi-spec", btw BA still not opening a south showroom?

[acesinghit]

850k for a GS250? I'll take an A6 2.0t and buy a loaded tucson with the left over cash. A6 for dry weather and tucson for when it rains.

"Yeah we getting a south showroom/service centre "soon"."

"Yeah we had some delays. Should be getting it in 2012"

"Yeah they have been discussing opening a showroom in south by end of 2012"

Hey acesinghit congrats on the new ride man niiiice Audi taking over the world market from the business reports

Boy just wait 3 years and buy that model Lexus foreign used ... The japanese model might be higher specced and much cheaper! Also Lexus is the most reliable car brand in the world, so even as a used car you should be getting your money's worth.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Not sure why yall beating up about the Lexus prices. If you bring in one brand new you paying engine tax, customs and VAT. Using a base US model price I calculated at least 717K for it landed. I don't know what options are included in the price quoted above but it doesn't seem that unreasonable considering the actual price of the car. Price might vary depending on what region it is designed for.

So even after paying the taxes from the country you are buying the car and the mark up from their dealers. Then paying our exorbitant taxes in Trinidad, the car is still way over 100K cheaper than the price that Toyota is charging?

to quote you ... stealerships

My point was we don't have enough info actually. I just chose a base model but I have no idea what spec we get here. There are other specs on the US site that if brought here would cost over the 895K price tag quoted. My point was the 895K price tag shouldn't be thought of as outrageous without proper comparison to prices outside and taking into account our various taxes.
