I picked up my new G6E Turbo last week and frankly, I cannot stop driving it! I am in love with this car…fantastic! Why on earth would you bother with an expensive European car when we make such a masterpiece in this country. Well done Ford!

DanMan,
No your the “expert”. You tell everybody every day on here.

Obviously you know, and the guys who run Toyota and their website are wrong. What about Toyota’s massive rental fleet sales? Still, it only proves that it IS just a short term public propaganda exercise.

Toyota Australia’s history is littered with failures and broken promises, who are you trying to kid?

Or is this just yet another case of a Toyota salesman who doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does, spinning bulldust?

(The more apt reply is still “awaiting moderation”)

Yeah your the expert Bret. Like me you obviously do this every day and know the industry back to front. Only Govt Fleet is exempt….

All ford ‘incentives’ will cease under Bankruptcy. Pricewaterhousecoopers will void them straight away. So why do Toyota’s have the best Resale average after porsche in the industry? Riddle me that bretman.

Because Toyota have a 50 year record in this country of promise’s made and kept.

Also Toyota workshops have are not dependent on warranty work to survive so are more competitve than you believe. there are 15 in Brisbane greater area alone. each with a PMA that ensures they can look after their customers.

Anyway why try to convince you? 260,000 a year disagree with you..

“It depends on the vehicle but using a ‘complex’ turbo diesel as a guide the first 6 services are capped at 150$ per service. (hilux 4×4) Toyota motor company pays the difference, not the customer or the dealer.
you probably save about 1300$ over 3 years this way. Also it’s not a promo. It doesn’t end.”

Toyota are overcharging $1300 (at least) for a start to cover this!
And just because there is no published end date doesn’t mean it’s not just a short term promotion – it is, and we all know it, despite your corporate speil.

“It also ensures the resale value is proteced because all toyotas now have full log book genuine servicing for three years.”

Errrr, no it doesn’t. Nearly 3/4 of all toyotas sold are fleet, to which this fixed priced servicing does not apply. The poor unfortunates who buy the second hand fleet cars will be slugged the full price, with probably a massive first up service bill to catch up with all the skipped fleet services.

At least when Ford did similar (better actually) a few years ago it applied to all cars, including fleets, and transferred to a new owner when sold.
