Manawatu Toyota Used Cars: Price List & Reviews

Anyone who has spent an afternoon clicking through used-car listings knows the feeling: the photos blur, the prices seem random, and the “contact dealer” buttons start to look like a dare. Across Palmerston North, Feilding, and Whanganui, the Manawatu & TRC Toyota group carries a used-car range that currently starts at a 2023 Toyota Yaris for $22,990 and tops out at a 2023 Lexus RX350h for $76,990, with both prices drawn from live dealer listings on Autotrader (NZ vehicle marketplace).

Key facts at a glance

Six data points define the group: who runs it, where it operates, and what current listings actually cost.

The head office sits in Palmerston North, but the group’s stock is spread across three trading locations — which is exactly why the online search matters.

What is the price list for used cars at Manawatu Toyota?

Manawatu Toyota’s used-car pricing is a spread, not a single figure: the group’s advertised stock runs from an entry-level hatch to a luxury hybrid. The quickest way to read it is by segment, then by example.

Price range overview

Lowest advertised: $22,990 (2023 Toyota Yaris) · Highest advertised: $76,990 (2023 Lexus RX350h) · Mid-range signpost: $46,990 (2022 Toyota Hilux)

The range, from $22,990 to $76,990, is pulled from current dealer listings on Autotrader (NZ vehicle marketplace); the prices move as vehicles sell and new stock land. The examples below show how that range fills in by segment.

Examples from current stock

• 2023 Lexus RX350h — $76,990, the highest-priced used model in the current advertised range.
• 2022 Toyota Hilux — $46,990, the mid-market ute benchmark.
• 2017 Toyota C-HR — $26,990, the compact-crossover entry.
• 2023 Toyota Yaris — $22,990, the cheapest current listing — all four priced from Autotrader (NZ vehicle marketplace).

The same spread shows up one step down on Trade Me. The TRC Toyota Feilding storefront lists used stock with asking prices of $40,990, $41,990, $47,950, $39,990, $31,950, and $34,950, according to Trade Me Motors (TRC Toyota Feilding dealer page).

The pattern: pricing is transparent enough to pre-screen, but it is split across platforms, so the same model can appear at slightly different prices depending on whether you check Toyota NZ, Autotrader, or Trade Me first.

What are the reviews for Manawatu Toyota used cars?

Review volume is thin, but the customers who did leave feedback split cleanly: fast, friendly service on one side, and at least one hard rejection on the other. Both signals matter before a negotiation.

Customer feedback trends

• The Manawatu Toyota page on Mappaus (local business directory) carries both a very friendly “not pushy at all” review and one hard rejection from a buyer.
• The Manawatu & TRC Toyota listing on the same directory adds thumbs-ups for fast wiper-blade service and knowledgeable spare-parts staff (Mappaus, local business directory).
• Trade Me and Autotrader dealer pages also host buyer ratings next to the live inventory, which gives a second window into the same stock.

Trustworthiness signals

The group’s footprint is the stronger trust signal: an official Toyota New Zealand dealer page, storefronts on Trade Me and Autotrader, and five named locations across the lower North Island (LinkedIn, dealer group profile). That structure is more consistent with a long-term regional group than with a casual reseller. The catch: reviews are too few to form a reliable rating. They are enough to set expectations — good service is possible, and so is a bad outcome — so verify the specific car and the specific deal in writing.

Where can I find Palmerston North Toyota used cars?

Palmerston North is the flagship location, but the inventory is not locked to one yard. Three routes get you into the same stock.

Toyota NZ regional search tool

• Toyota New Zealand’s official used-vehicle search can be filtered to Manawatu and TRC dealers, pulling the whole group’s stock into one list (Toyota New Zealand, official dealer page).
• That matters because official dealer status ties the group’s reputation to Toyota’s network, not just to its own marketing.
• The physical yard sits at 66 Walding Street, Palmerston North 4410, per the Mappaus directory (Mappaus, local business directory).

Third-party platforms (Autotrader, Trade Me)

Autotrader lists Manawatu Toyota’s inventory directly, and Trade Me’s dealer page for the group ties back to the dealership’s own website, manawatutoyota.co.nz (dealership website). Why this matters: the group’s digital footprint spans an official Toyota page, its own website, and two marketplaces. The official search is the authoritative view; the marketplaces are the realism check.

What Toyota Hilux used models are available in Manawatu?

The Hilux is the region’s workhorse, and the group’s listings confirm it: current stock clusters in the ute segment’s familiar price band.

Hilux trims and years seen in stock

• A 2022 Toyota Hilux appears in current Manawatu stock at $46,990 (Autotrader, NZ vehicle marketplace).
• Trade Me’s TRC Toyota Feilding storefront shows ute-class asking prices in the same band, with six listings spanning roughly $40,000 to $48,000 (Trade Me Motors, TRC Toyota Feilding dealer page).

Pricing for Hilux used models

2022 Hilux (Autotrader): $46,990 · Feilding lot range (Trade Me): $39,990–$47,950 · Observed spread: about $8,000

That spread is the real market signal for Manawatu buyers: late-model Hilux examples settle in the mid-to-high $40,000s, and the year and trim decide where. The prices above are the two anchors a buyer should quote when negotiating.

• Use the $46,990 Hilux as your quoted baseline.
• Treat anything under $40,000 on the Feilding lot as the value end of the band.
• Expect the top of the band, near $47,950, to carry the newest year or the higher spec.

The takeaway: if you want a late-model Hilux without crossing the $50,000 mark, this group is one of the most checkable sources in the lower North Island — but the listings turn over, so the decision window is short.

Does Whanganui Toyota sell used cars?

Short answer: yes. Whanganui is a real storefront in the Manawatu & TRC Toyota group, and its used stock is searchable through the same channels the Palmerston North and Feilding stores use.

Whanganui dealership location

• Whanganui appears in the group’s location list alongside Palmerston North, Feilding, Masterton, and Levin (LinkedIn, dealer group profile).
• The group’s official Toyota New Zealand page covers the wider Manawatu & TRC territory, so Whanganui buyers are dealing with a factory-backed regional network rather than a one-off reseller (Toyota New Zealand, official dealer page).

Available inventory

The group’s marketplace storefronts are the fastest live check: the Palmerston North base and the Feilding lot each have their own Trade Me page, so a buyer can scan the whole region in one sitting. The practical read: Whanganui buyers do not need to drive to Palmerston North just to browse. The official search and the marketplace pages surface the same group stock, and a quick call to the Whanganui store is the fastest way to confirm what is actually on the lot.

Manawatu Toyota dealership specifications

Factory backing, a multi-site footprint, and a documented physical presence: those are the operational details that separate this group from a standalone used lot.

The trade-off: the address and the website are the details worth trusting; the opening hours, by contrast, vary across directories, so a phone check beats a screenshot.

Buying a used Toyota from Manawatu Toyota: pros and cons

Weigh it up: the upsides are structural — official network, multi-site stock, visible listings. The downsides are mostly information gaps, and those are fixable with a phone call before you commit.

What’s confirmed, what’s unclear

The balance is honest: the group’s existence, locations, and price range are well documented; the fine print is not. That is normal for a regional dealer group, and it is exactly where a direct enquiry separates a good deal from a surprise.

What buyers say about Manawatu Toyota

The public review base is small, but the quotes that exist are specific. The four below come from two separate Mappaus listings for the group’s Palmerston North stores.

“Very friendly and helpful team, not pushy at all.”

Customer review of Manawatu Toyota, via Mappaus (local business directory)

“I will certainly never buy a vehicle from here again.”

Customer review of Manawatu Toyota, via Mappaus (local business directory)

“Great service, super fast at changing my wiper blades and cost effective too!”

Customer review of Manawatu & TRC Toyota, via Mappaus (local business directory)

“Very helpful, knowledgable staff in the spare parts.”

Customer review of Manawatu & TRC Toyota, via Mappaus (local business directory)

The pattern in four quotes: the praise clusters around service speed and friendly staff, while the rejection is about the purchase itself. For a buyer, that means the relationship matters more after the sale than before it.

What this means for buyers

Shopping Manawatu Toyota’s used cars is easier than most dealer visits because the group publishes its inventory across Toyota NZ’s official search, Autotrader, and Trade Me — and the advertised range, from $22,990 to $76,990, is checkable before you leave home. The gaps sit in the fine print: no certified pre-owned label, no fee breakdown, and two directories that cannot agree on opening hours. For a buyer in Manawatu-Whanganui, the verdict is straightforward: use the official search to build the shortlist, cross-check it on Trade Me and Autotrader, confirm the final price includes on-road costs, and only then book the test drive — or walk into the negotiation without the one question that decides the real price.

Frequently asked questions

The honest baseline: most of these answers are checkable in minutes, but the warranty and fee questions need a written quote from the dealership.
