i've told by one of the importers that there's two type of estima. CKD and CBU. Both have different pricing.

does estima have CKD???? i never heard that b4.

it really sounds fishy.

I hope it helps. Thanks

The price depends on many element; namely:

1. Variant; some variant command better price than other as they come with many amenities; i.e seats design-electronic-vacuum door(s)-MFS multifunction steering-panoramic roofs-electric seats-keyless go starter-wheels size: read the rear moniker AERA-S, X-T-L-G for instance.

2. Manufactured year; new third generation Estima/Previa/Tarago started in 2006-not really total makeover from last generation (2nd 2000-2003 [facelift] 2006) but rather mild. The newer model you have the pricier the price

3. Cylinder capacity; 2.4 vs 3.5 not that much BUT to avoid catastrophe to our pocket if not bank account please stay away from 3.5/3.0 (2nd gen). Resale value not great

4. Dealer; some dealer quoted lower that competitors. This is understandable as some have bigger overheads, less volume etc.

5. Negotiation: if your tougher in negotiation you can beat the SA.

MY 2 CENT: go for less pricey model with newer manufacturing year. Shop around and the price normally from RM170k+ for 2006 ACR50 model. They're two types of bumpers (three if you include Hybrid).

Now is buyer market, thus use your discretion wisely.

The front is definitely look better than the first released version 3 years ago. It looks "perfect" now, for me. Cannot wait to see when will they start importing it as unreg.

this is really the same case as porsche ..

jus wanna keep the porsche as similiar as the 911 …
_____________________________________

very true.. but the porsche still sells 911′s by the busload. so much so that its put porsche in such a strong financial position, that they’ve now bought more than 50% of VW. just coz you dont like the look of the 911, doesnt mean ardent porsche fans who actually put money down to buy the car think the same way as you do( you’re probably not in the target market then).

likewise with the estima as with the porsche.

to be fair to toyota.. i think they didnt need to really do much to this mpv. in a way, the estima is the iconic mpv especially in asian markets. it practically sells itself. and the fact is, it is a very good product.. it would be very difficult for toyota to do very much with it.. so they’ve probably decided to keep it minimal, improve where they can and more or less maintain its physical look. why spend millions more to effect major physical looks when it wont help sell more than they are already selling today?

facelift doesn’t mean changing it’s face only
some internal lift will be done too ,just because you cannot notice them doesn’t mean it is not there . something will change under the skin for sure .

some luxury car like benz , every times they facelift their car they claim how many thousand of part is being change.

Paul Tan says: Yes of course, in this case I think VSC has been upgraded to S-VSC, etc.

About the rear, I noticed there’s some really minor changes taken place.
The taillights, as to our current version has 2 white stripes under the red line, instead they redesign it to be full red and white lines. Besides, they also redesigned the rear reflectors. Don’t forget the new wheels.

Facelift or no facelift this MPV is superb. No problems with it since I acquired it in 2005. The replacement for the Estima is another Estima, albeit a newer one.
