Replying to: homerfan (Jan 24, 2007 10:56 pm) Sounds like you got a good deal and did a fair amount of legwork. I am looking for the 2007 Rav4 V6 Sport and looks like I will have to go to Roger's also. How did you get the Vehicle Licensed in Washington? Did you have to get a trip permit for Idaho and then come across and license it or did they do it at the Idaho Dealership? I think I will have to factory order mine too due to towing hitch ect. Did they give you a time frame on the delivery or is it open ended? What did they say the $79 doc fee was actually for? Can you PM me with who you spoke to there if possible? Thanks for your time. Guess the Costco deal can be beat. My area Costco deal was $900 over invoice for the 4cyl and $500 under MSRP for the V6. Thanks

Replying to: packrat4 (Feb 26, 2007 10:17 am) I'm still waiting for my RAV4 to arrive, although I do have the VIN now. My contact at Rogers Motors is John Uhler (a really nice guy, and GREAT communicating updates and whatnot). When a WA resident buys a car out of state, you pay the sales tax at the time you register it when you get home. I assume a trip permit will be necessary. My initial contact with John occured around the middle of January, and I was told it might take up to 3 months before our special-ordered RAV4 would arrive. It appears now that we will have it the first week of March, so that's not bad at all. John did not provide a detailing of the doc fee, but I didn't ask for one. Go for the V6; all my research indicates that it's a good investment. Refer to my original post here (#1244) for specifics on what I paid for each option and so forth. Negotiate with John using those numbers and you can't go wrong. Stick to $500 over invoice regardless of how many options you tack on. That's a couple thousand dollars less than the Costco deal. And unless you already have something better lined up, you might want to apply for the Costco Auto Loan. It's around 6 to 6.6%. A credit union can probably beat that rate though. Good luck! HomerFan

Replying to: frenzytom (Feb 24, 2007 7:48 pm) Looks like the dealer gave you a really competitive price on the warranty. Could you tell me which dealer you got the warranty from? I know in the past I have obtained an extended warranty from a different dealer than the one I bought the car from. Thanks for your time.

Replying to: homerfan (Feb 26, 2007 11:47 pm) The information allowed me to get several bids which I am still working on. Still looks like Roger's is the best price. I copied the breakdown of your deal and plugged in my options ie: Sport V6 ect... I then emailed the different dealers. Worked like a charm. Soon I will have a solid price and order I hope.

Replying to: packrat4 (Feb 27, 2007 11:40 am) I couldn't believe he negotiated the warranty down so much, for the best Toyota extended warranty even. I brought in all my research via "the folder" and had all the prices. I was thinking he was trying to meet his monthly quota. My dealer was Champion Toyota in Philidelphia. Good luck. |

Replying to: susieq4 (Feb 27, 2007 2:01 pm) I looked far and wide for this vehicle as it was very specific and every dealer told me that Toyota makes 10% with these vehicle specs. That didn't help me at the negotiating table but I looked in other regions other than the one here in the Northeast. Pennsylvania was another region over so I took all my dealer prices and made them compete for the best price. It was pretty much "if you have this specific vehicle at this price", match it or I move on. This process is not for the impatient as I contacted over 25-30 dealers and got 3-4 great prices for in stock or locates. I hope this helps you in your quest for the RAV4 as it was definitely well worth the effort to find the car and deal.

It suddenly hit me this weekend that I would like to have a RAV4. I was driving past our local dealer, whom I have never had luck dealing with in the past, and noticed that they had a used '06 4cyl Limited with 6900 miles sitting on the lot. I stopped yesterday...after running some numbers on my own...to take it for a drive and see where we would stand. The RAV4 rides and drives like a dream. I am definately sold on the vehicle. This one has all of the features that I want, JBL, moonroof, DRL...but is the wrong color. It is tan...and I really want red. Their list price is $22,995. They offered me $15,495 for my '05 Camry SE 4cyl (with wheels, spoiler, JBL, dimming mirror, trunk mat and net) with 31K on it. The salesman went nuts over my car...said that he had never seen an SE in desert sand. Said that he would probably take it for his demo if I traded it. $7500 difference for a one year newer car, with 24K fewer miles, that was $4K more expensive when new. I am thinking that it isn't a bad deal. Invoice plus $300 on a new '07 similarly equiped would be $24,500. I have never paid more than $300 over invoice for a new car. I doubt that I could find a local dealer willing to sell for that now. A guy who works in my building just bought an '07 Limited V6 and only got $800 off sticker. What do you guys think? Should I bite?
