We are in the Minneapolis area. We simply requested price quotes in person from several local dealers. The quotes were fairly similar. We might have come out slightly ahead when we switched from a black car to a gold one. The only gold 2.5i Limited in the dealer's inventory had about $500 more in options, but they offered to sell it at the same price. FYI, the 2.5i with auto that lists for $26,420 was being offered at $21,500. The extended warranty deal was not even mentioned until we were signing the paperwork to purchase the car.

Am I correct that the $23,995 was the final price out the door with the $2000 rebate? Did you have to pay extra for anything other than the warranty (and TTL)? Thanks again!

There was a $50 "document" fee--other than that it was $23,995 plus TTL and an extended warranty if we wanted one (no pressure, but my 98 Outback overheated at 95K so it was an easy decision at half price). That price is after the rebate. It is substantially (about $1700) less than invoice after accounting for the rebate so there must be manufacturer to dealer incentives as well. I asked two dealers whether the price would be affected by whether we used the 0%/2 yr financing and both said no.

new rav4 vs outback by iknevs1

I am new to this forum folks. I am trying to decide between the new rav4 and outback 2.5i.Does the lack of stability controls make a huge difference in snow and bad weather. Also the base tires are not thought to be very good . Any suggestions on better all-season tires.
thanks

Forget about the lack of stability control, how do you feel about the RAV4's AWD shutting off over 26 mph?

It's basically FWD 99% of the time. I'm not sure if they let traction control or the AWD system act first, but I think I'd just go ahead and get a FWD model in that case. I just don't see the rear axle doing very much in that case. Save the money (and weight and fuel) and just get FWD, since it'll probably feel the same.
 
And I'm an AWD fanatic.

I have decided on the outback but during a brief test-drive found the base engine short of power during the start even compared to my 1996 camry 4 cylinder. Any thoughts...? i will check this out again. Also thinking of the H-6 wagon with cloth. The prices i have been quoted are 500-800 under invoice after 2000 dollar rebates. Is this ok?.. some people have got better deals.? advice thanks iknev1

A good set of snow tires will outperform any all wheel drive system.

Does it really shut off, or is it just that "manual" lock mode that shuts off if you have it engaged?

From Toyota's website, it disengages over 25 mph.
