Well we just bought our FWD RAV-4 with these options Roof rack w/ center rails 16" aluminum wheels keyless entry with 3 button comf tone front and rear mudgards rear privacy glass removable non retractable tonneau cover prefered accessory package convienience package towing reciever hitch auto dimming mirror with compass VIP RS3200 plus security system for $18900 $20000 even TAX, Title, fees out the door. $4000 under sticker and a fair amount under invoice for my area. Norfolk, VA. Despite that i would have rather had the Honda CR-V but my Wife wanted this one for some reason.We could'nt get the Honda dealers to budge that much on price but the toyota dealerships seemed to be having trouble getting the Rav-4 off there lots. We were offered quite a few deals. I have only had the car now a few days and while i enjoy the ride the lack of space is killing me and the interior wich is much prettier than the CR-vs seemed made for a smaller person perfect for my wife a little cramped for me. How is everyone else enjoying there vehacle so far.

Drench ... can you post the dealers name or number there in Norfolk?... I'm about 90 miles west of you (Pburg area) I checked with CarMax and they didn't have a price like that....

We purchased it threw checkered toyota you may also want to check out priority toyota. Priority also was dealing hard on the rav-4 they gave a simular deal on a sport package with moonroof. I belive it was 20990 out the door. And gave us the impression they would of gone lower but the car was the wrong color and checkered offered us this deal so we just took it. We negotiated both times with the carsDirect internet salesmen. The negotiations were pretty smooth everytime we tryed to leave to look at the honda CR-v for comparisons they would comeback with a lower price. Just tell them you are ready to buy that day. They seem very eager to get the Rav-4's out the door. Seems to be a norfolk thing, does'nt seem to be much use for SUV's here. Anyway good luck P.S. The prefered package is just floor mats, first aid and cargo nets nothing spectactular convenience package on the other hands puts in a nice stainless steel step up tube looks real nice. And stainless steel racing petals. Mostly superficial stuff. That make the car looke more fresh and sporty. |

| OK Thank's man for the info... I got both dealers web site and all their info..... only deal is I guess the ones they have on their site are all compatable in price on both dealers, and no way near what you got, guess they can't post that amyway, has to be a "local deal" thing..... Also that Priority is also here in Colonial Heights, they have dealerships in tidewater, Richmond, and here... but who knows if the same deal is available at either. I may just hold up to see what the 05's will have different, I'd like to see a auto telescoping antenna and a smaller spare tire that would fit inside, and inflate like a airbag when needed.... BTW: you got a first name of the sales person you delt with at Checkerd? | |

This is my estimate based on my purchase price and the options listed. With the help of Edmunds.com, I was able to calculate the known part of the invoice. I added $300 for TDA which is toyota's advertising costs...one of the unknown costs Edmunds warns us about. With that I figured how much I paid under invoice. But we all know (according to Edmunds) that the dealer didn't really lose any money on this sale. I don't know about dealer hold backs and other profits that they get for selling this car to me well under invoice.

A journalist is hoping to interview consumers who recently bought pre-owned crossover vehicles (such as the Acura MDX, Audi quattro, Ford Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe, Subaru Baja, Toyota RAV4, Volvo XC70, etc). Why did you go for a cross-over? Which one? How does it suit your tastes, lifestyle and budget? Please respond to newswiz  earthlink.net and/or jfallonedmunds.com by Friday, March 5 with your name, daytime contact information and some information about your vehicle. Thanks!
