The one on this list?

What makes you think its too expensive? Looks spot on to me. (parkers quotes £12500 with 15k more miles)

We recently looked at a Rav4 in Western Edinburgh and i agree the salesmen were a bit $hit. We eventually bought elsewhere (purely cos we got a great deal), but i have been back to Western since then for various reasons and everyone else (not sales related) has been great.

Why not try doing a search on autotrader and price check the car, have a look at similar cars with similar miles and see how it compares

[dangermooser]

I have just had a quick look on the Autotrader and it isn't the cheapest one out there, but with it being main dealer you get (should get) all the nice things like 12 month warranty etc etc, if you aren't p/xing haggle on the price and be cheeky go in low, if you do have a p/x decide what balance to change you want and again bid where it hurts......you can always go up if it is the right car.

hello mate

i think USD 23,382 <=> £12,990.00 -- try to negotiate the price and try to reduce it up to USD 22,500 -- this final would be reasonable. Do not forget to check with flywheel status whether it has been changed before selling.

I looked at a t180 at western Edinburgh and it was well over priced. Ended up going to northern Ireland where I got a 2006 xt4 with 40k miles for £11k. They also offered me £6250 for my 2007 Auris TR with 50k mikes as part of the package. It was originally listed as 12k but I negotiated the price down.

Western in Edinburgh told me their prices were fixed and they would not budge on price.., end of...

Seems a little pricey to me. Not the best value, but from a Toyota dealer i suppose its a fair price if you can knock it down a few hundred quid.

I only paid £12,200 for a 56plate xt5 with 42k, and that was 10 months ago (although that was from a car supermarket, not Mr T).

Quite a low mileage for the age which is rare in a diesel. I just hope it was used infrequently rather than often for short journeys where it didn't get to temperature.

Sorry to be a bit negative but i'm a nightmare when it comes to car shopping!

Ive also seen 2006 XT5`s at 11-12k so thats a tat expensive,

Dealerships will always pull your pants down mind.

Id rather pay a bit more for the security u get for an 'approved' car from a dealer.

[webleymk3]

i should add mine was from a main dealer and came with the 1 year warranty!

Might be worth doing a search of used approved cars on the Toyota site; http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/frame_start.jsp?id=used_cars at leasrt it will give you an indication of price.

Just so long as it is only a little more...
