Hi all

I am in market for a seven seater SUV which has a delivery time of 4 to 6 Months and has base price of less than $55k.

Keeping this in mind I have choice of Mazda CX 9 which a friend got hold of in less than 4 months and Honda CRV which was delivered in less than 3 months. (2022)

Toyota timeline is over a Year for a Kluger so not worth booking. Outlander 2022 also is more than 8 months or so.

Are there any other SUV's which has less delivery times based on your experience or knowledge?

Thanks

    My mate recently purchased brand new cx9 he said it was ready to go asap. Guess he got lucky.

    • salrock on 28/11/2022 - 13:56

      Its not that much in demand cuz of electric craze i guess . Thanks for your comment

          I did not mean to devalue the benefits of electric cars . I my self wanted a kluger hybrid but not wanted to wait 18 months … yes thats the wait time they told me on a call.

          • netjock on 28/11/2022 - 16:53

            @salrock: Drop in and have a serious chat. See what they have in stock, people do cancel their orders. I'd suspect at least 6 out of 10 calls are people who are just fishing for a deal.

            I walked in late Dec 2020 to order a hybrid and they said they had one in the yard (I didn't need it until Apr 21, the order got built and delivered by Feb 21).

      Im suddenly seeing lots of new Haval SUVs around on the road
      They are cheap to buy. ($34K-$41K)
      And may easy to find too

      Used to be. I believe there's a bit of a wait for the Kodiaq now in certain configurations.

      Had one of the first gen ones. Great SUV for the price, just don't have one outside warranty (true of all VAG cars).

  • Drakesy on 28/11/2022 - 14:14

    Secondhand?
    Can have it in your carport the same day.
    Basically anything that isn't new or doesn't have hybrid/electrical powertrains. or a KIA or Hyundai

    Although depreciation rates of new ICE vehicles are going to be far more rapid as more and more electric vehicles are introduced.

    • salrock on 28/11/2022 - 14:35

      All my life I have bought 2ndhand and have inherited problems of others but not this time my frd …

      Agreed on the devalue .

      Thanks for your comment

    • dcep on 28/11/2022 - 17:16

      are we getting chargers station yet ?

      i mean EV range suits city dwellers , and city are mostly apartments and high-rise

      where do they charge their EVs ?

      • Drakesy on 28/11/2022 - 17:30

        At shopping centres
        Ev charging stations
        Restaurants
        Wineries

        Just like ice cars cant charge up at home, people with ev's can survive without charging at home as well

        • dcep on 28/11/2022 - 18:12

          That's what i'm asking.

          Are you seeing plenty of chargers getting installed everywhere like heaps of petrol stations around you ?

            @dcep: I’ve seen enough charge stations comparable to the number of EVs on the roads. Around town I’ve never seen them in full use either. Haven’t seen enough on highway trips to comment on that.

          • ColtNoir on 29/11/2022 - 09:51

            @dcep: I’m certainly not up on the central coast. There’s one here on a rooftop shopping centre car park.

            As much as I want one, until there’s an abundance of chargers I can’t get one, especially as a renter.

        i mean EV range suits city dwellers

        And relatively wealthy city dwellers that largely have off street parking.

        Besides, most of us live in cities, don’t travel long distances often or would have a second vehicle capable of travelling further in most cases.

        • dcep on 28/11/2022 - 18:22

          I don't even want to ask about upgrades to existing CBD residence, but do you see those brand new apartments or future high-rise projects, comes equipped with electric chargers for their residents in the UG carparking space?

          • Drakesy on 28/11/2022 - 19:33

            @dcep: Its really a non issue, you can't really fill up an ice car at home anyway.

            Youd be surpised if you buy an ev car just how quickly you realise the car charging availability and the rapid growth of options. In America where teslas are huge they're everywhere

            • dcep on 29/11/2022 - 00:37

              @Drakesy: America ?

              Umm… What about Brisbane ? now ?

              Do we have a map that shows where EV chargers are currently available in Brisbane ? just so i won't need to plan my trip or long detour to the charger point if i'm driving EV here.

                • dcep on 29/11/2022 - 15:55

                  @Euphemistic:

                  Brisbane CBD

                  11 plugs at King George Sq. - 1x Tesla, 5x Type2, 5x J-1172 (whatever that is)
                  2 plugs at Queens Plaza - 2x Tesla
                  2 plugs at Wintergarden - 2x Tesla
                  4 plugs at Post Office Sq. - 2x Tesla , 2x Type2
                  2 plugs at Waterfront - 2x Type 2
                  2 plugs at Eagle St Pier - 2x Type 2

                  And how many basement carparks of a single high-rise apartment residence in CBD ?
                  Few hundreds carparks occupied by owners / tenants in 1 single tower.

            • ColtNoir on 29/11/2022 - 11:06

              @Drakesy: An ICE car takes 60 seconds to fill up and there can still be queues. Hardly a fair comparison with electric cars

              • Drakesy on 29/11/2022 - 11:26
                -1

                @ColtNoir: But you can't fill up your ICE car while shopping, eating at a restaurant, parking at a multi storey carpark, sitting in a cafe, down at the beach, at work, at home.

                Kind of makes the speed argument moot.

                Unless of course you're going on weekly 600km plus holidays that drain the battery completely.
                Then yes, ICE is currently your only real option.

                  Can count the chargers with my fingers + toes.

                  • Euphemistic on 29/11/2022 - 19:18

                    @dcep: No. You don’t have to limit yourself to that unless you are using your full charge between visits.

                    I get it, you’re not ready for EVs yet, plenty of others are. I would be, if their price and choice of vehicle was better. I have a Driveway for charging at home, don’t regularly exceed stated range in a week, let alone a day. Would need to find a public charger maybe every couple of months or less. Could probably trickle charge at work as well.

                • ColtNoir on 04/12/2022 - 08:37

                  @Drakesy: I live on the nsw central coast.
                  I could do 500 km’s in 10 days or 1.5.

                  There’s 3 chargers within 15km of me, one is Tesla only, other is in a shit area, and the other is on a highway petrol station.

                  We need more infrastructure so that your comment is feasible.

            Umm.. yes. Future constructions will have them. It’s a selling point now.

            Saw a video recently of a Nordic country where they have massive amounts of EVs, something like 80% of new vehicles are EV. They have installed lots of chargers in underground car parks and lots of on street parking chargers too.

            Best thing about EVs in underground parking is you don’t need stupidly expensive ventilation systems just to get petrol fumes out. Can scale it back because there aren’t any.

                @dcep: EVs powered by coal are still emit less than a petrol powered car. They are just that much more efficient.

                And while we are at it, the extra emissions from building an electric car will be less than the total emissions of building and running a petrol car after a year or two depending on kms. After that, the Ice will be significantly more than an EV even running on coal.

                    @dcep: Not enough. But then we don’t need one for every car space yet.

                    At this point in time a few charge points per block would be a good start.

  • bobbified on 28/11/2022 - 14:39

    There's not that much up to $55K mark. Might as well go for the CX-9 now.

  • spackbace on 28/11/2022 - 15:14

    Make sure you size up the 3rd row seats. All well and good that it's available now, but may not even suit your needs.

    Who's going in the 3rd row and for how long?

    • salrock on 28/11/2022 - 15:34

      Only Kids will use the 3rd row when relatives come over from abroad 2 to 3 months usually every year .Trips will be to restaurants or malls or shops 90% of time and interstate trips 10% .

      • spackbace on 28/11/2022 - 15:36

        interstate trips 10% .

        Where's the luggage going when you're using the 3rd row…?

    Have you tried contacting dealers?

    Neighbours got a Ford Ranger delivery in one month because there was one available in the trim level that suited them. It’s far from normal delivery time for that model.

    I just bought a second hand 2018 CX-9 GT with relatively low kms for a decent price. I couldn't justify paying double for a brand new 2022 model which is essentially the same car and engine with minor updates/upgrades.
    Worth mentioning - the fuel consumption of the CX-9 is not great - approx. 11-12L/100km. Worth getting a 7 seater with a diesel engine like the CX-8, Kia Sorento or Hyundai Tuscon? it will be much better of fuel and usually more torque. Otherwise the CX-9 a great SUV overall and great to drive.
    Maybe try buying a demo car? you'll still get the benefit of a new car and warranty.

    How about a Pajero Sport 7 seater 2wd?

      I didn't even know that was a thing until now…

      Who would want a 2WD, diesel wagon based off a ute…?! At least with 4wd you know it's capable of something

      Not to mention current diesel pricing

      • Euphemistic on 28/11/2022 - 18:13

        Might be cheaper to buy but pretty much no one wants a 2wd version of those. Reselling will be difficult and therefore lose more value.

        Everest and MUX have 2WD too 🤮 Thought they would've done away with both those in 2WD when they had a whole new model but evidently not.

        Seems like the only ute-based 4WD that doesn't come in 2WD is the Fortuner.
