New VR Dual cab Diesel

[new44]

Just driven our new Triton first 500 Km.
We are very very happy with it so far. Economy whilst driving very easy has been better than expected; 8.3 to 9.1 KM/100L.

We are looking for some stuff to fit it out. Nudge bar to start with , then maybe roll bar and hard top in cyber blue? Has anyone got any of this off thier utes to sell?
Not sure how to respond to anyone on this site yet, any help appriciated.

Thanks new44 north east Vic or Melb or anywhere in between

Giday Mate,
Good choice I have a red planet VR diesel auto
I picked up a lot of stuff off Ebay Hard cover and sports bar in Red Planet colour for $200.00
Tub Liner for 150 so there are a lot of bargains for your Triton. You should be able to get most parts you are after for a fraction of the dealers cost by buying off Ebay.
Hope you enjoy being a Triton owner as much as I am
Cheers Santa

Welcome mate. You will find a few of these come up on here for good prices - sometimes close to giveaway, so keep your eyes open here as well. A bit hit and miss on colour though. If I remember correctly MLVR08 might of had some bits (or was he looking for them - oldtimers getting me).
Be worth checking his posts and sending him a PM.

Also a buy/sell section on the main page.

Gday New44,
I have a hard torneau and sports bar in Cyber Blue available never used as i put a canopy on when i bought my triton. However i am in Brisbane.

Let me know if you are interested

I guess that economy I stated sounded very thirsty. Should have read L/ 100Km.
Oldtimers problems at 41. Yes I am interested in your stuff but distance and freight is a problem to Albury.

[turto]

No problems, I should be able to get them to Newcastle in the next month or so if that would make things easier.

sorry i know its rude but would you mind if i asked how much you paid as im looking at getting a vr auto aswell

[new44]

Not rude at all.
I did not buy local as they would not call me back. So I made 2 calls to places about 400 km away.( I should not say where as this may make it difficult for that dealer)

Details New colored VR , Manual, Diesel , Under side tub `mits`. , ARB step/tow bar, carpet mats, bonnet and light protectors drive away, abn, I think thats it for less than 34,000. Prices have gone up alot since my purchase.. I can not recommend this car enough so far . I think dealers are having a bit of trouble getting stock since they are a much better deal than Hilux.


Turto

Newcastle sounds very possible for us .
Can you please send me a PM on price .
I am away for work from late tonight until Thursday so I will hope to converse with you some how.

Thanks new44

yea thats what i was looking at in price but over here in adelaide they seem to want 40,000 plus so im thinking on flying to vic and driving back if the price is right

The on-line prices I see from Victorian dealers are always less than the other states, but I'm not sure how it works with rego ect.
(I'm in NSW)

Last time I told a local dealer about the prices he said "bullshit" and I had to show him on his computer.
The boss then came over and said he would match the price.

What worries me at the moment, is the low number of VR's on the lots with the diff lock fitted - would it be harder to screw these guys down on an order as opposed to something that's been on the lot for a while ?

[new44]

My purchase was all over the phone, so if you can find a good deal out of any southern Vic dealers then go for it.

[new44]

Last months abn deal on VR`s seems to have taken most stock away, so much so that my dealer thinks he will have bad sales until 30 June because he can not get stock. The current base model Triton seems to be worth chasing if you want that model. Good luck!
