Promotions / Discounts On A New Car ?

[North]

Hello all,

I am planning to buy a new car, a pickup, Which one I still hasn´t decided, but possibly a Vigo or a Triton.

And I know, that many times you can save some money when buying at the right time. The other day I was looking at a Vigo, the top model "Exclusive" priced at 899.000 baht, and they offered me a discount at 40.000 baht when buying cash.

And I looked at a Triton too, the new Plus, 2.5 A/T, priced at 758.000 baht, and they too offered me a discount at 40.000 baht.

Is that possibly the best discount you can get ?

How much did YOU save, when you bought the new pickup ??

Hi North

Although I have'nt 'sealed the deal' yet, I have been in a number of Toyota dealers/independants around Issaan getting a price for a 3litre 4WD Auto Vigo with every extra including Leather interior plus an Extensive 3 year warrenty including all services FOR 908,500 (starting price was 874k). I am not normally one for falling for the warrenty lip-offs but the extra cost of that was by far cheaper than paying for all the extra's I demanded.

I have no knowledge of the Triton as I dont think its as good as the Vigo,but thats only my personal opinion.

Good luck and happy Negotiating. HAPPY NEW YEAR

p.s. WHATS THE 'EXCLUSIVE' VIGO ????? and hows it different ???

The Exclusive model have the 3 liter D4D engine, 4WD, automatic transmission, leather seats, side steps, metallic white color only, 16 inch ally wheels with 265/70R16 tires.

This is what I remember from the brochure right now.

What do you mean by " every extra " ?

And what about the " all services " part ?

Hi North

The Exclusive sounds very interesting.I would like to see the colour 'in the flesh'. Like you i cannot remember all the extra's I 'demanded' at the dealers but it did include :- doormirrors with indicators,tints,window weather guards,back liner, leather interior plus others that I cannot remember.

The guarantee covered all work inline with Service Record Book supplied with car(Full∂ services) for 3 years and a three year parts/labour warrenty insurance. As Toyota charge 23k for leather alone(not a 'backstreet job'), this more than covered the cost of the warrenty.

I cannot believe I am 'standing up for' a dealers warrenty scheme.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I think, you should have a look at the Exclusive. They say, that it is metallic white, and having that color I think the aircondition do not have to work overtime to cool the cabin. Even I like the look of a black car, I would never buy one here in Thailand.

If Toyota charges 23k just for the leather alone, this is one more reason to have a close look at that model, in my opinion.

By the way: I wonder, if you can have an electric driver´s seat in the Vigo ??? ( The Mitsubishi Triton have one as standard in the top model)

Hi North.

Sounds worth checking out. Thanks. I am pretty sure Toyota dont do an electric seat as a Vigo option but if they have them in 'Tuna maybe its possible. I was hoping to get the Met Blue as it a fairly rare sight in Surin and I like the bright shade.

The only electric seats I'v seen lately, are the one's trundling along Eastbourne Seafront

p.s. Toyota has just brought out a 3.OO TD Auto 4x4 in the UK called Eliminator. It sounds like your Exclusive but diff colours

Hi,

I just purchased a Vigo Exclusive last week. I had previously read your post and promptly asked my sales lady concerning the full service (parts & labor) warranty insurance and she replied that Toyota does not offer such a warranty insurance program. She said that Toyota only offers the standard 3 year 100,000 warranty. I've asked this same question at two other Toyota dealers and got the same answer. Could it be that the 3 year full parts/labor warranty insurance you speak of is only availble through your dealership as a dealership offering versus a Toyota offering? How much does it cost for this warranty insurance? Was the insurance underwritten by Toyota or some other insurance company?

Thanks,

Pattaya Dave
