T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[PariaMan]

Going by experience without adjusted rear brakes the hilux feels sometimes that it cannot stop properly . Once the rear brakes is adjusted the problem goes away. This was even when the van was new. So I always adjust my rear brakes and even in emergency situation it holds fine

You are essentially putting the shoe closer to the drum so pedal effort would see less than if they had to travel from further away.

[racedriverpro]

When I adjust my rear brakes I get a better brake response which means less stress in the front brakes

From my experience properly adjusted rear drums always affect pedal height and therefore braking.

I don't think it affects braking, it affects brake feel, all vehicles use a proportioning valve which divides braking effort between front and rear, 70/30 I think, it moves the pad or shoe closer to the disk or drum so when u press the brake pedal there is less travel between the pad or shoe and the disk or drum which gives better feel, based on the design of the car I think the braking effort or how well the brakes work would remain constant, unless you upgrade pads or change disks, I could be wrong with a few points however.

Response time is based on the pedal height and distance between drum and shoe...simple logic.

[PariaMan]

Tru simple. My question though is wether it means that when you do this if the back brakes is now providing more stopping power . My brother claims that if he does not so this on a maxi the brakes and bearing heats up more and has to be changed more often

Any wrd on the vw amarok v6 price etc?

[kamakazi]

Didn't want to start a discussion about brakes... All I was alluding to was my experience that Wagner brake pads do not have good initial bite when cold. (When used on a car with disc brakes on all corners). It gets better after it heats up.

You do not want your rear brakes to be too strong cause it will have a similar effect to pulling the handbrake. Not ideal in a pickup with almost no weight in the rear.

One final thing.. The oem brake shoes in the hilux last about 3 times longer than the oem brake pads... To give you an idea of just how much, or little braking force comes from the rear setup on the van

Why would a demo vehicle need to be transferred ?

[aaron17]

Do the have the hatch version?gti?

[car]

Why would a demo vehicle need to be transferred ?

They usually license the demo vehicle so they wouldn't have to keep paying for a demo plate.

Car is not registered as yet. It will be register to the buyer on new plates. If I buy it I would be the first owner.

Then take it. It's a bess deal.
If you don't want it I get first dibs on it.

[drchaos]

I say ask for a further discount. Dem demo vehicle does real get mash out and no proper engine break-in procedure is followed.

I know this cause I does real mash out demo vehicles when test driving.

[carluva]

^^^ agreed. Demo vehicles tend to get some more abuse, especially by potential customers and definitely the sales people who use the vehicle for their dotish runs.

Tell the salesman you want a 20k off and if you buy it, make sure you get the first service record and perhaps ask for the full treatment that you would get prior to delivery, if one was done already.

[car]

So how does the dealership knows if the vehicle was broken out properly?
I know men that brought new vehicle and was flooring the x all the time to ensure if anything goes wrong it would happen during the warranty period.

I took a demo Forester around 10 years ago. Got a $30k discount. But it had only 800 miles on it. That was on a $360k vehicle so a decent discount. I wouldn't say the car was problem free but nothing I think related to it's demo life. I'm not sure if $10k is good for a car with 2k Millage though. That seems kind of high.

[carluva]

Not sure anyone can know with any immediacy. Any piece of equipment needs breakin and a vehicle is no different. That is why the vehicle manual will tell you that for the first xxxx km, no hard acceleration, no hard braking, no,towing etc. All of that is to help with the proper breakin of components and the overall vehicle. So its only with time, one can see if breakin will or will not cause long term damage.

These men you know who flooring x probably just forcing unnecessary component failure within warranty period as opposed to ensuring component longevity by doing whats recommended.

Tried to negotiate a further discount but salesman said that's the best offer. Not even negotiating anything off on the new units either. Saying that it's already being sold at the best price possible and that demand for them is very high. Basically saying pay 170k or F off, plenty people want them

[drchaos]

Tell him where to stick it then ... Any car that you buy and try to sell back after 2000 km you will take a 15 to 10% hit on the showroom price.

[carluva]

So the man offering you a discount with attitude as well? Man take your business elsewhere. And what demand is he talking about? I rarely see new citys on the road so he just bs-ing you.

[kamakazi]

Sales people are there to sell... First and foremost
