| My wife and I just got a 07 RAV4 V6 Ltd 4x4 with JBL, moonroof, daytime lights, floor mats and a thrown in chrome tail pipe MSRP 29073 for $26,998 plus tax out of New Holland toyota. Price was quoted via email. No hassles. Very professional. Worked on the trade in. I went to New Holland on a co-workers recommendation, and very glad I did. We went to two closer dealerships, and could not stand the hassle. Note to other sales managers:, the fact you smell like an ash tray, does not help your smooth (grease ball) talk. New Holland quoted the price w/o having it on the lot, but was able to get the vehicle in 3 days. I cannot emphasize the "no hassle" sale enough. Salesman even programmed our phones to work with the Blue tooth when we picked it up. | |

He also told us that V6 Limited are very hard to find, almost impossible. Anyway, I will want the 3rd row, and the remote start is a must for me with the baby in the winter. So I might not get the same as you did. Any, congratulation and enjoy the driving.

Replying to: phillyfrontier (Dec 15, 2006 11:24 am) Premium wheels, leather and heated seats (and panels), moonroof, V6 blah blah blah (It's the Ltd w/top of the line package so you get all the goods), premium JBL stereo w/Bluetooth, processing fee, taxes, tags, Sirius was $31K even. Also, it had 1 mi on it. It was a 'partial delivery' which means it was on the list to come in and I put a deposit on it so when it came it, no one else got to test it. To another poster, leather and moonroof do not go hand in hand. Not sure what that salesguy is trying to say. Mine came w/o leather as mentioned above and I added it later and it already had the moonroof. |

I found that there is no power assit steer when the car stops though engine is runing, Is this the new feature?  I used to dirve a Accord, you can trun steer wheel easily even when it is not moving, I think it is especially when you need to park into a small space.

Hi all. Bought 07 RAV 4 v6 4x4 sport 2 weeks ago in SE Virginia for 28,100 OTD. Came w/ the JBL 6-cd upgrade, sunroof, mats, nets, tonneau, and 1st aid kit. This is my first Toyota, first SUV, and first new car this millenium. One happy owner here. Been monitoring Edmunds for a few months now and see that the MSRP, invoice, and TMV prices for the vehicle keep increasing for the area--curious. |

(Edmunds does not have the prices of Rear Bumper Appliqué, Mudguards & 5 Piece Carpets & Cargo mats listed) I negotiated all the prices over phone. Initially got the COSTCO pricing from Toyota of Nashua NH. They gave a competitive price $20,422. But the dealer was too far from my place and I preferred to buy it from a MA dealer Distance is a criterion as I have to travel twice. Once for signing the contract and again for taking delivery of the vehicle. Also buying a car from other state has the hassle of taking the car for a State inspection. Got the List of nearby dealers from Toyota site and called up 7 of Toyota dealers and asked for quotes. With the COSTCO price as base, tried to negotiate the prices down and the whole process took just 2 hrs. The OTD price from the following 4 MA dealers were close to the invoice Woburn Toyota 21,400 Herb Chambers Toyota Of Boston 21,350 Toyota Of Wellesley 21,450 Boch Toyota 21,388 Rest of the dealers were around $400 to $600 more than COSTCO invoice. I initially went to Herb Chambers and asked if he can further bring down the price a little. The Internet sales Manager was very rude and told me to either take or drop it. I was irritated and didn’t want to deal with them anymore for any price and walked out. I headed next to Toyota of Wellesley and told the sales man that I will sign the contract right away if he reduces his price by $100 and gives it at $21,350. He agreed and in 30 min’s the deal was complete. The total time I spent over phone and at the dealerships would be around 3 hrs. The max discount that I could have got more had I negotiated further would be 80 to 100 $ but it is not worth the time & effort. My overall experience at Toyota of Wellesley was good and I am pleased with the price I got. I have driven the vehicle for 750 miles and it is very smooth. The only issue, I am 6ft 2 in tall and the seating does not have a lower back support. |

Replying to: javatechie (Dec 16, 2006 4:13 pm) What do you mean by 'Costco Invoice'? As a Costco member, they referred me to a nearby Toyota dealer who showed me his Toyota Invoice and told me Costco's deal was $500 over that invoice.
