I wish toyota would relaunch the surf or 4runner

F**king Jesus that is hideous

I did suggest one to my wife, went down like a bucket of cold sick?

I don't understand why anyone would buy a brand-new vehicle except if it was buy a company, for tax reasons or you are in retirement and need to spend money before you perish?

Please explain the different between a 3 year old Golf with some miles on it vs a brand new one which costs you 20K and smells new? It's a Golf, not a fudging Ferrari.

The trouble is if you wish to run a 5 seat vehicle within the confines of a limited company, pickups like these are one of the few that class as a commercial and not a car, therefore shielding you from the financial clattering that is Company-car tax.
Most crewcab vans available such as the Vauxhall Vivaro, HMRC have classed as in-scope for company car tax.

As an aside.... Am absolute base spec small mass-market car such as a Golf is now priced at over £20000.

Not to mention the vat

Trouble is a 3yr old low miler, out of a dealership still looks damned expensive.

Why?
A relaunch would mean updating, just like the mini.
A hilux active with an estate car rear would be tremendous for those who dont want to spend £36k on a landcruiser

just go to mkt, look around the carpark, farmers need more money to survive ? How does that go down, with a 'townee' owning a x2 car, stood in said carpark ? I know there is a lot more to it than that, but an outsider doesn't.

16 month ago I bought one for a little over 1/2 that figure. NFU discount and dealer discount helped though.

That was a wild track with all boxes ticked as well.

Wish the NFU would sort out discount on a used one & save us some more ££££ Rep keeps saying its happening

Nfu discount is only 4%

British field sports, their discounts are substantial, depending on which 'breed' you look at, our susuki was 15%.

People are buying into the idea of a "lifestyle" - much the same with the Chelsea tractor fad of a few years ago, currently the crossovers & now moving to pickups. I know a sparky who has one "for work" - absolute waste of time as he can't store anything in it, park it on a job and it gets emptied!

The other part of it is the proliferation of PCP type finance deals that allow folk to borrow more than they could afford with conventional loans - this allows car manufacturers & dealers to bump prices up to make their sales figures look good.

As I understand, the PCP deals fall down when the car is worth less at the end of the deal than the dealer says at the start and so people end up in negative equity with a car, the dealer then rolls this debt up into the next deal and the punter gets in even more debt. You can conceivably see this happening with mass market pick ups like fords as their second hand value plummets because there is so many around.

Warranty, servicing, MOT... & most importantly keeping one step ahead of the Joneses!

Agreed....but some people’s driving and vehicle maintenance leaves a lot to be desired

I think this is why new prices are increasing as much to try drag 2nd hand prices up to allow PCP finance company/dealer/manufacturer to make money on current deal, then just juggle figures to keep monthly payments similiar on next vehicle

What on used Commercials ???
as Boris would say thats chicken feed

 

[Godber]

Saw a lot of these www.nissan.co.za/vehicles/new/np200/specifications.html#grade-UA90-3 ,smaller, 2WD bakkies in Africa. Do you think they would sell here. Similar to the old Caddy/Skoda

Perhaps some one could put a picture up

Suzuki often used to advertise certain models claiming they'd pay the VAT.
