Hilux 4x4 double cab SR $39k

[B92 8NW]

Has anyone else seen the ads? Well on Thursday curiosity finally got the better of me, thinking "Gee that seems like a pretty good drive away deal."

Went to a local dealer initially but they only had SR5s and kept telling me I actually needed an SR5 - out of my price range and I want a workhorse... city dealers just don't get it. Dropped into a big country dealer 330km from Melbourne in my travels the next day and they had a few on display. Anyway it was about 34 degrees and they offered a test drive, so I took them up and made a remark about the weather and said let's get some A/C happening. The guy looked at me like I had two heads and said A/C was a cost option and not standard in the SR. He was a bit of a larrikin and I actually thought he was having a laugh. It's $2,051 option

How could any car be sold without A/C standard?? It's 2015 and a hot country!

Air conditioning! You've gone soft.
None of my Landrovers have air conditioning.
Too hot? Open a vent or window.

that would have been manual wouldnt it?

and you'd at least want a towbar.

theres another $4 grand if you want auto.

so it would be hitting $45k just above basic trim.

You driven one? We have dozens in our fleet, although they have AC, they are very uncomfortable and give me a bad back within 15 minutes behind the wheel. They are also noisy, and the engine vibration is also bad. They still sell bucket loads of 'em for some reason. Says a lot about our population....
