It's a Y61 and worth around 280k to R300k in my book, R600k no way

Yes, that is Toyota Tax pricing.

Good day.
This Patrol belonged to a person in Pietermaritzburg. He sold it end of Feb if i remember correct, I actually was interested in it as it looked good from the info and photos but it was a bit to far from me. You might find the previous owners ad on the FB Patrol group if you search, it was there also in Feb.

Whats sad is his price was R175k and I am sure the dealer that bought it did not even give him that and immediately they put this huge markup on.

Dont get me wrong, I understand about overheads and one needs to make a profit as its a business etc but some dealers in my mind just go overboard completely.

There is a Patrol for sale for a while now that sold at the We buy cars new arrival auction for R99K and less than a week later it was at a dealer for R199k. There was even one that sold for R305k and the dealer had listed it for R489k and its not there any more so the must have sold it for that price.

There is another side of the coin, private sellers also look at these prices and the lots of them then expect that they will get these high prices and lots of times vehicles is just over priced taking into consideration the condition and mileage etc.

Link to the previous owners ad, if he is really interested it might be good to chat with the previous owner.
