Default Good Toyota dealer in Melbourne

I Know it's not Ford, but they don't have a vehicle to compete.
I am going to buy a new turbo diesel Hilux, i am getting a quote from Berwick Toyota tomorrow, does anyone recommend a dealer in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne ? i want to compare what i get offered tommorrow to see if it's competitive.

Not wanting bag a Ford, but i went looking today, the Courier is not in the same league as the new Hilux when talking diesels.

Yeah go the hilux. If I was after that type of car, the Hilux would be the way to go. Despite what people say, Toyota make some great cars.
