Toyota 86

According to Shannon's the 86 and BRZ will become collectable's in future years that may increase in value,this will depend on their track credentials as drift and production racing class use
Glass's analyst estimates they will have a 60% resale value after 3 years
Also Toyota says that after September's production run there will be no spare wheel,only a repair kit due to the spare taking up boot space
Subaru will supPly a spare but be prepared to wait 9 months for a BRZ

I recently looked at kluger as we have been advised our new leases will be through Toyota.

I agree I don't have any idea what they are for, no 4x4 capability and no diesel. Waste of a car really. Looking at a prado diesel or an sr5 hilux diesel.

OT but are you limited to Toyota vehicles or just Toyota Fleet Lease? You can lease anything through TFL. I have a Cruze diesel and another guy has a Volvo (spit) and Golf.

Been told Toyota only, reps get Camry or crew cab 2wd hilux. My level has higher choices which opens up prado/kluger/4x4 hilux, although if I change to 'total cost' I have free choice however it's a novated lease.

I am not 100% on particulars as yet. the last agreement with custom fleet was for fords only, this is a different lease company so we may not be locked to a single make

I am just going to leave this here : http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09...th-440whp.html

Called Tiburon from memory

heading home today saw my 1st BRZ with MRT Tuning signwriting all over it,signage saying it is a test car,skinny wheels but sounded nice,seemed to go o.k. shame the traffic was so heavy
Also I have been on the japanese auction house website looking for car to import and thought I would see if there were any "86's"on there
Found 21 for auction,some are brand new with zero klm's,wonder if there is something the locals there know that we don't,priced from Y2,620,00 to Y3,480,000 FOB,gave up trying to convert to Oz $
Pity the import taxes/duty would be a killer

They won't let you import it anyway as you are not allowed to import cars that are readily available in aus to protect the local market/price gouge

Currently its back at Toyota with a VCT actuator issue - they can fix it, since they sponsor the car :)

Been doing some testing with it on the dyno, you can get them to go ok......
