I'm looking for a 2008 Base V6 2wd. Based on the invoice and options price from this forum, and costco, yahoo, using carbuyingtips.com offer worksheet, the total cost of dealer is $21,982, and negotiated selling price is $22,642 (after 3% profit). I email Longo Toyota (in CA) offer to buy with $22,600, and sent this: "Dear JustYou: Toyota does raise their prices throughout the year (as do other manufacturers). The new stock retail price on these vehicles (MSRP) is $25,189. Dealer invoice is $23,523. Can sell to you for $500 over invoice or $24,023 + tax/license/$55 document fee/$8.75 state tire tax. Thank you I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely," Did Toyota raise their invoice for the Base 2x4 V6 2008 to $23,523? how much should I pay for this with options: Option # 1: Roof Rack DR Option # 2:Tow Pref Package TO Option #3: Daytime Running Light RL Option #4: AM/FM/6CD changer DJ Option #5: Tonneau Cover CD Option #6: 17" Alloy Wheel AW Option #7: 50 states emission FE |

I wanted a 2WD Base V4 with third row seating. But the dealer could not provide me a car with third row seat and 2WD in oregon. I have shopped around and some dealers simply refused to go any down than MSRP. RAVs are hard to get here and not many in stock. Few dealers said they will go upto invoice but added advertising fees, finance charges and hold back above the edmunds invoice and inflated the price to real invoice + 500 approx. finally, one toyota dealer offered 4WD Base V4 with alloy wheels, roof rack, third row seating. The MSRP is $25,400 after carpate mats, mud guards, rear bumper applique etc. The invoice on edmunds with optional equiments is $22,704. I paid $22,700 including DMV fees, so this is my OTD price. How is this deal? |

Replying to: oregonmike1 (Mar 15, 2008 11:32 am) do you mean your out of door price is $22700, including all tax, tag, dmv, and document fee? it is really a great deal. Usually, the OTD price is the final check you wrote to dealer. Please make sure it is. Because I am making my decision to go with a dealer, who is offering me a price 200 dollar higher than invoice. if plus all tax, tag, dmv and documents fee, the OTD price will be $2000 more than that invoice price listed in edmund. Thank you for input.

Replying to: oregonmike1 (Mar 15, 2008 11:32 am) Note to Edmunds TMV estimators: the cost of the Carpet Floor/Cargo Mat is only included on the MSRP ($199) not the invoice pricing (indicated "N/A"). So it might be appropriate to estimate something between $150-$200 for the TMV price. In any case, oregonmike1's OTD  $22,700 sounds great--even lower than Edmunds' invoice after considering the Carpt Floor/Cargo Mat cost. I'm also jealous of your tax-free RAV4 purchase.

Replying to: rcruise (Feb 20, 2008 10:49 am) I'm new to all this, so please forgive me if I dont' have the right descriptions for everything. I'm interested in buying a RAV 4 with 4x4. I'd like to have seats that are not motorized (gives me so much more leg room that way). I live in South Florida (ft lauderdale) and I went and looked today around the area. The sales people just ignored the fact I was there. When I approached them to get a test drive, they were reluctant. They only had one 4x4 on the lot and after I drove it, I was curious about how I could get one of my own. Still no help. Is it just this area? Anyway, I was curious what dealership you used in west palm? And overall, how much should I look to pay for this vehicle? I have figured that it should be around $23996. Does this seem reasonable? How do I talk money with these guys (once I actually get some service)? Thank you so much for all your help! This thread has been very informative so far and you all give me hope that I will be able to get a nice car for a fair price.
