Buying a Land Cruiser - how much should I pay?
The Toyota dealer has offered me a new 2012 Toyota Prado - with a small discount. What are the dangers of buying a 'new' car that has been sitting out in the sun, unused, for a year? ( I live in the Middle East)How much discount should I ask for?

That's what we would call a LandCruiser LC. The car is a year old. So pay the price of a year old car. Do not pay the price of a new car with a small discount. Obviously look for sun damage to the seals and to the paint. The surfaces could have reached 60C+ at times.
