Maybe they are being realistic, and just want it sold quickly.

Are the others actually selling! Maybe its a realistic price instead of over inflated.

Just looked up new price:$53,190 RRP for a double cab manual 3.0 turbo diesel 4x4 So it's probably a reasonable price

Stolen and recovered is my guess, thats why it has the tiny little uncool wheels.
Stolen for its rims I bet!. Why would you buy a bling roll bar, bullbar and have wussy nana wheels!

Unless previous owner kept them and put the factory ones back on to sell. Just a possibility.

Probably realised how rubbish the new Hilux is, why anyone would buy one escapes me.

According to Carjam was re-registered 11th June 2012. I thought they might have had personalised plates but not listed in carjam so probably stolen / recovered.:(

Partly to be cheeky, but also to be informative. Before you buy one do some research on the new Hilux. The diesels have an appalling reputation for reliability, the technology used in the vehicle is out of date and they offer very little value for money.
Go and have a drive and a read up on the spec of the VW Amarok, it just runs rings around the Hilux. VW's Diesels are far more reliable and significantly more efficient. The Amarok is nicer to ride in, has a better 4WD system and overall is just better in almost every way.
You will hear lots of nonsense story's from the Japanese vehicle brigade who will make up all sorts of nonsense to try and justify the purchase of a Hilux. However if you use some common sense, so some research and actually compare what you are getting its pretty easy to see the Amarok is a far better vehicle.
The classic story from the feeble minded at the moment is to try and make out that the Amarok is somehow less powerful because it has a more efficient smaller capacity engine. However a quick check of the spec's will show you how silly this claim is.
Toyota have had their day in the sun, times change and at the moment they are only trading on reputation.
Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Just ask the dealer , I am sure they would oblige.

The value of a stolen recovered vehicle is less than a non stolen recovered. There are people who would never buy a stolen recovered therefore the market is smaller.
The dealer must by law tell you if there is anything suspect with the ute , they will know if it is stolen recovered , might just be a personalised plate swap.
