#5 of 2123 ABS VS. AWD by iminsurchofsuv Jan 27, 2001 (4:16 pm)
I'M ALMOST SOLD ON THIS 2001 RAV4...BUT IT HAS ABS (WHICH I HEAR COULD CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE AWD). I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS SUBJECT(OBVIOUSLY)... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POSSIBLY BE? AND IF SO, SHOULD I ASK FOR ABS OR FORGO A RAV AWD THAT ALREADY HAS ABS INSTALLED? THANKS.
#6 of 2123 No problem with ABS and AWD by canadiancl Jan 28, 2001 (10:46 am)
I think, technically, they design the AWD to temporarily disable when ABS kicks in. This is from something I've read. Maybe more technically-inclined members can help out. But in any case, you shouldn't worry about a vehicle having both ABS and AWD.
#7 of 2123 What did you pay? by kwalker5 Jan 30, 2001 (8:06 pm)
I live in Phoenix, Arizona and found a 2WD Rav-4 automatic with: 1. Quick option package 2. Roof rack with center rails 3. Rear privacy glass   Sticker was listed as $20,570.   Their "invoice" that they showed me said $19,119.   They would not go below $19,600.   So, I don't know if they showed me a "made up" invoice to negotiate from or if that was a real one.   Just wondering what kind of "deals" you guys got and what you finally ended up paying for your RAV with options.
#8 of 2123 What I paid, re question from #7, kwalker5, by suvshopper4 Feb 02, 2001 (7:11 am)
For my RAV 4wd, auto trans, the Quick Order option package, and several minor extras, total sticker $21,835, I paid $20,950 USD. This is in Southern New Jersey, mid-Jan. I am happy with the deal and the vehicle. Good luck to you.

That car sounds familiar, but I think the Az invoices must be higher than CA invoices. A car like that for me is a Quick order package, 5-spoke alloys, privacy glass and roof rack, MSRP 20970 but the invoice with all that isn't even as high as the 19119 you posted. Something's fishy. I am pretty close to invoice for these, but that AZ cost seems too high. You may be right.   Dianne
#11 of 2123 Q for Dianne4Toyota, #9 by suvshopper4 Feb 02, 2001 (9:51 pm)
You say in #9, "I am pretty close to invoice for these". How close is "pretty close"? ejp
#13 of 2123 name these dealers that give fair deals by aljeffries Feb 05, 2001 (10:21 am)
I need to find a dealer that gives these fair deals I have seen posted.,My local dealer wants full MSRP,
#14 of 2123 for aljeffries #11 Full price? by suvshopper4 Feb 05, 2001 (10:49 am)
I'm surprised the dealer wants full MSRP. However, when I bought mine (Southern NJ, 1/13/01) at $855 under sticker, it was the last 4WD model the dealership (Classic) had on the lot. So if a dealer really wants to make it a supply-and-demand hold-out-for-top-dollar affair, I guess he can.
