On the face of this the price does seem well over the top in price
I guess $2800 could the cost of diff lock setup with ARB compressor installed
but quite a few of the new 4wd dual cab utes now come with rear diff locks as standard e.g. VW Amarok
About most items are a similar setup as to my Mahindra UTE buildup
http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=17679.0Rough costing on what was used when building up my ute
Item Rough pricing
Suspension Upgrade lift kit with fitting $ 1350
Snorkle $ 770
Steel winch bar $ 1995
Runva Winch with plasma rope $ 995
Tow bar $ 770
Sump guard $ 550
Alloy canopy with wired up central locking $ 5500
Reverse camera $ 500
Extra spare wheel and tire $ 300
Dual battery setup $ 400
Centre bearing guard $ 300
UHF radio setup $ 500
Dash matt $ 70
Long Range Fuel tank setup $ 2500
Extra Aux wiring $ 100
Extra TOTALs (including fitting) about $16600
If that was the Toyota with it's ARB Diff Lock add say another $2800 that would be a rough $19400 total for the extra for the build.
So if you were to add that sort of pricing to the standard, pricing of what a "used" 2010 Toyota Hilux then you can see what the whole lot is worth -- may be if standard Toyota pricing was used then the whole lot would be dealer -- then again if standard after market stuff was applied it's ball park, So rough figures 2010 Hilux about $39000 plus $19400 Extras -- The pricing of $61000 is sort of over the top.
Now other considerations
- 2010 model, is just out of 3yr warranty, -- I consider warranty is worth a fair amount from new to used.
- That pricing I gave has no depreciation for all the mods
- I guess the mods on the vehicle like the ARB DIff locker might now be out of Warranty now
- Even the dual battery setup is 3 years old -- up in the north of Australia batteries only last about 2.5 years
Maybe if you bargained to a price that you that you like "This is up to you as it's your coin" -- and if you like the vehicle then buy it.
Personally I would never buy a dark coloured vehicle (far too hot in the sun), or metallic paint (for offroad stuff it scratches and difficult to repair ) -- this is also personal taste
