Replying to: gadgetgirl (Dec 30, 2006 11:35 pm) I have a 1993 V6 4runner right now and the thing is just a pig going up long hills and a litle sluggish from the start. I don't speak Korean and I'm pretty solidly working while I'm here so not a lot of sightseeing to be done. And to be honest, not a lot to see in Korea in the winter. So, when I get a break I head down to Thailand or Vietnam to play in the warmer climates. In fact I'm off to Vietnam in the morning for 7 days. But I'm really jonesing to get back and pick up the new Rav in mid February!!

Just received email from a deal on Long Island, is this true? Got an email quote from another dealer on 4WD base V6, 3rd row, price 25,302, roof rack, DRL. How's the price?

Just bought in Arlington, VA OTD: $27,790 Silver Rav4 with FE, EJ, RL, SR, TO, DK, Z1 Used Fighting Chance package, but due to high demand, got little interest (only 20% of solicited dealers responded). Definitely would use the fax method in the future, though. Treated very well by Koons. Thank you to all here who posted helpful information! |

Please, when talking about price, give us MSRP for the vehicle you're talking about and the purchase price (or quoted price) for the vehicle. With or without options. I must say that OTD price doesn't mean anything to many people. Who knows what the dealer fees are, tax and things like that. When you say - I got a quote - 500 below/over/under/whatever invoice, that doesn't mean much again. Who's invoice? Dealer invoice (holdback taken out) or invoice-invoice (like one you get on Edmunds). Toyota RAV4 come with so many different options (some of them not even listed on Edmunds) that it's very difficult when you just say - I just bought Sport V6 2X4 for, say, 24562 OTD. If I go to the dealership they might have different options and if I say - but some people got it for 24562 everybody would laugh. "Maybe that's basic stripped, no option model but take a look at this beautiful RAV4 we have on our lot, it can be yours for only 25332..." |

Replying to: explorz (Jan 01, 2007 1:43 am) Happy New Year! Thailand and Vietnam sound interesting, too. Hope you get a chance to travel there. I love driving mine and I'm glad that I bought the V6--great acceleration. May your RAV4 be perfect and waiting for you when you return. |

I bought mine just one day after Xmas at Mark Miller Toyota in Salt Lake City, Ut. For you that might be in market in this area, here are some numbers for you. I hope they'll be helpful to you and help you get a good deal you'll be happy with. Vehicle Base Model ..........................: $24285.00 50 State Emissions ......................... Cargo Area Tonneau Cover with .............. 140.00 Multipurpose Cargo Net with Support Poles AM/FM 6-Disc In-Dash CD Changer w/ 6 ....... 200.00 Speakers, and MP3 / WMA Playback Capability Black Roof Rails & Crossbars ............... 220.00 17" 5-Spoke Aluminum Alloy Wheels .......... 440.00 w/P225/65R17 Tires and Full Size Spare ..... Tire on 17" Steel Wheel .................... Daytime Running Lights ..................... 40.00 Towing Prep Package - V6 3,500lb. Towing ... 160.00 Capacity - Includes Upgrade Radiator, Fan .. Coupling, Alternator, and Pre-Wiring ...... Rear Bumper Applique ....................... 75.00 Carpet Floor Mats/Cargo Mat ................ 199.00 --------- Total Accessories ...........................: $1474.00 Destination Charge ..........................: $ 645.00 Total .......................................:$ 26404.00 I also asked for 3rd party leather seats ...........:$ 1295.00 Total-Total MSRP.............................:$ 27699.00 Invoice (as per Edmunds, MSN Auto & Consumer Reports): $24860.00 (includes leather) I got it for: $25983.00 (1123 OVER invoice, but 1761 UNDER MSRP). Now if you can get a better deal more power to you but I am not sure about those claims of $500 over invoice, near invoice, etc. Don't get shocked when you go to negotiate, keep in mind that RAV4 doesn't have any rebates or incentives and the dealership might not be ready to cut you a killer deal. My negotiations weren't too bad but they weren't easy either. The year end bonus didn't apply to RAV4's. Toyotathon didn't apply to RAV4's. So, I wish you good luck. Remember, negotiate for fun, not for savings and you'll have a good time. (And save too.) If you do your homework first... |
