Rav4 from online dealers? by firehouse46

Hello, new to forum!
 
I am looking to buy a Rav4 and have looked at details on Edmunds (a bit inflexible to configure it exactly as you like); been to Cars.com; CarMax; and Toyota (to get high side price). Has anyone tried this? I'm really looking to avoid those dreadful lot lizards that take up so much of your time selling a car. I have bough and sold 5 houses in my lifetime with less hassle. Anyway, back to the issue at hand:
 
Here are two online prices I got and except for state tax , title, license what do you think?
 
#1 4x2 Rav4 Base 4cyl
  Base $21,250
  Delivery & Processing $685
  AM/FM/CD/XM
  Cargo tray
  Mud Flaps
  Hood protector
  Tow receiver Hitch
  4 speed auto
   
#2 4x4 Base same options $27,452. Likely I's go 4x2 with 4cly.
 
I am in west NJ about 60 miles due east of Allentown PA.
 
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Price #2 is ridiculous...sure you quoted that right? I am paying almost 3 grand less than that for base 4x4 with V6...

I am also looking for a stubby too. Now that I have a RAV4 I've been going to rav4world.com for a lot of my info. Give it a try, it's a very informative site.

my OTD price is $27,250 (Silver Sport V6 4x2 with standard options - it is hard to find one w/o those options). i was shopping for a flint mica too but not many out there. make sure get many quotes as possible via internet before going to the dealer. good luck!

Hello everyone,
 
Just a follow up: Wound up purchasing my RAV4 4x4 V6 this last weekend.
Figuring about $1,500 for my crappy trade in, the OTD price was about $24,850.
4.5 APR for 36 months was the worst part...
 
Best Wishes,
Dave

the offer made to rav499 in 2007 was amazing.
 
I tried to buy in Dec2007 to take advantage of the year-end motivated sellers, but didn't' feel that I could get an offer I was happy with).
 
My offer, incl option A is $22700 (about $200 less than costco price)
The MSRP is $24054
 
2008 RAV4 4x4 2.4L $22700
 
Option A includes:
- cargo area tonneau cover w/cargo net & support poles
- black roof rails & crossbars
- 17" 5-spoke styled steel wheels, spare tire on 17" wheel
- daytime running lights
- carpet floor mats/cargo mat
 
Please let me know what you think, considering this is the 2008 model.
I think I should have asked for ~$21700.

Got this from on of the big internet car places, not a dealer. Seems less painful than dealing with the local dealers. Here is what I have been offered:
 
2008 RAV4 Base front wheel drive
 
Engine: 2.4L DOHC 4-Cylinder
4-cylinder 166 hp engine with 2.4-liter displacement, dual overhead cam valvetrain
Transmission: Electronic 4-Speed Automatic
Tires: P225/65R17H
Heavy Duty tires with 225mm width, 17.0" rim
Wheels: 17 in. Alloy $448
Seats and Seat Trim STD
Front Bucket Seats STD
Cloth Rafima D Seat Trim STD
Radio: AM/FM CD Player STD
2.923 Axle Ratio
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 4,430 lbs
Monotone Paint Application STD
Tube Steps $279
Cargo Tray $69
Mudguards $60
Manufacturer's Destination Charge $685
$21,837 Final
Plus NJ 7% Tax
NJ title & Registration extra
 
What say ye?
 
Thanks.
 
P.S. They get a local dealer to accept the price so I don't have to go too far to get the car. The internet folks said there may be other cars close but may have additional features which would cost more. I told them no way. This way or I hit the highway. With tax and title is should be somewhere under $24,000.
