2010 Rav4 Limited by mickeyd74

I am looking to buy a 2010 4WD RAV4 Limited. I am having such a hard time knowing what a good price is.
 
We want
The EVP w/out Navigation
Cargo Net
Hood paint protection
DVD (I know this is after market)
Possibly remote start (not sure if it makes sense to add on our own)
 
Any ideas on where to start. We have gotten a 2 quotes of $29000. According to truecar.com this is a great price, but I have a hard time believing this when it was the 1st price we got from a dealer.

UPDATE:
First is that the more research I did the more I found out that this was a fairly sought out car. And if you were looking to get it at cost and if you were to get it at cost you had better buy all of them and turn them around for your own profit.
 
So we decided to pull the trigger on the following:
Barcelona Red 4x4 V6
Sports EVP
Sports AP
Tow Prep
Carpet Floors
Mudguards
Wheel locks
LoJack
 
Out the door price was $27,900. It is nothing earth shattering but I think it was a fair price. We really didn't want the last 4 items so we negotiated the price without as if they were'nt there. Dealership was very accomodating to us. Also, in this model they only had one other model in Black and a 2009 Gray.
 
I believe they had 2 LTD, and a bunch of the 4cylinder models which we did not want.
 
I hope you reply we made out good, but if you feel that we got screwed your opinion is still welcome so we know more about this dealership.

Mickey,
 
I can't tell you about pricing but I can tell you about some of the things that you asked about.
 
DVD, normally the dealers will ADD (not replace) to the car so that means the dvd player will be placed under a seat so it makes it difficult to change the movie on the fly. So my suggestion is either get it straight from the plant (if you can find one) or get it as a third party like Best Buy.
In addition, since the Rav is a small car and I think the LTD comes with a sunroof you may not have enough room to put it over head which means you would need those systems where the screen is in the headrest.
What we did with our Highlander is buy one of those with the double screens and you attach it to the headrest.
Our Ody came from the plant with the DVD that we play movies and change movies smoothly.
 
Remote start, our dealer wanted $700 which I thought is BS. Do your research on this because you have to decide if you want one with or without an alarm. Also you will have to decide how important is the distance. With our Highlander we paid for an alarm with remote for $500, however with our Ody since it already had an alarm, I opted to get the model with just the remote start but with a distance of a mlle. So we had some trade offs.
 
Hood Paint - Forget it- it's called ZAINO baby. To me, it is the gift from the DEVIL.
 
Hope this helps - and when you meet the devil for Zaino, tell him I said hi

Planning to buy this week
at which dealer in N.Cal did you buy your RAV4? did you by any chance get a quote on a 2010 RAV4 FWD base without the 3rd row? Thanks!

I got mine from Stockton Toyota.
If just want a base model, try talking to Napa Toyota. He quoted me $400 lower than what I bought mine for but after a month of trying to trade me one, he gave up (since the 3rd row option is rare.)
 
Either case, ask for Internet Sales if you call. Good luck

New 2010 Rav4 Sport V6 by fated3

I have been using this board for my 'silent' research but figured I should share my buying experience.
Just bought a 2010 Rav4 V6 Sport 4WD last friday. Paid 27700+TTL. I live in Illinois and had the COOK county taxes (8%) and the mysterious Doc fee for 150 bucks. I used truecar.com as my guide mostly and this was 100 bucks below their factory invoice price and within their 'great price' range which starts at approx 28700.
 
  
Got the following:
Sport Extra Value Package
Sport Appearance Package (run flat tires and the rear tire goes away)
Rearview Parking Display For Sport Appearance Package (nice touch)
Dark Charcoal, Cloth Seat Trim
Classic Silver Metallic
Auto On/Off Headlamps
Tonneau Cover W/Cargo Net
Blu Logic Hands Free Phone System (aftermarket included in cost above approx 350)
5-Piece Carpet Floor & Cargo Mats
Remote Start (aftermarket audiovox included in cost above about 400)
