watsac, thanks for getting back to me so quickly last week. And you are correct, I don't think I did that bad after all. I went ahead and secured my own financing for 4.99% and brought it to the dealer Friday. The guy who did the original workup went on vacation another finance person cleaned everything up. I didn't even have to wait for the title...she also told me I could have taken possession that day and secured finance the next day or so...he was such a slimeball liar. Anyhow, thanks again. Also, the XM receiver was already in it so another extra with the demo along with the rest!

turns out the salesman won't take anything but $800 over invoice, his offer to me was $25,024. I'd like not to spend more than TMV! which is $ 24,404.

ruthie2 - tell him to stick it and walk away. I don't know where you live but there MUST be at least 2 Toyota dealers in your area and I would recommend trying the other one. Also, try shopping by phone. Call other dealers and ask for their 'internet' sales rep. Even if they do not officially have one, they will direct you to someone who understands you are shopping primarily for price. And lastly, do not ever forget that the dealers want to sell the car MORE than you want to buy it. Just be patient and trust me on that and you will get your price.

Thanks for your advice watsac, I found a Toyota dealer 90 mi from my home who will sell me the same car plus it has alloy wheels. I will be paying $24,324...a price I can live with. Salesman said it is $100 over his invoice. BTW I live in central Wisconsin.

•Moonroof
•Leather Seats/Interior

jen25 - looks like MSRP is 27,964 and "invoice" is 25,636 for the car you describe. I would make my first offer to the dealer at 25,500 and not go more than 25,700.

I've been trying to figure out what to pay for a Rav4 2WD V6 Limited with the following :
                                                            MSRP
Base Vehicle Price 25420
Blizzard White (Special Color) 220
Tow prep package TOAT 160
Leather seats LA80 1398
Moon roof SRAT 900
Running lights RLAT 40
Drop Hitch Receiver and wiring DH60 399
Stainless Steel Step Bars 475
Floor Mats/Cargo mats PV50 269
 
                                                Total Options 3861
                                                Delivery Charge 735
  
As you can see some of these items are not shown In Edmund's TMV calculations.
Nor can I find out the dealer's invoice price on some of these items.
Additionally, dealers in this area(Florida) have a Dealer Handling Charge of 599 to 699. Same is true of Honda dealers
 
How would I go about determining a good starting offer on my part?
There is currently no such vehicle in inventory in the Southeast United States. My dealer is ordering it or something close . When he comes back with a price I'd like to be prepared with a counter offer.

2008 RAV4 Invoice price by legendsgolfer

Hello,
A friend asked me to find the best deal on an '08 RAV4. I have had great success with the Edmunds site before, but for some reason I have trouble pricing this SUV out on Edmunds.com. I don't see all the options and even if I plug in something close to what I need, I still don't get the invoice cost. So I could use some help with knowing the approximate invoice for the vehicle with the following equipment:
 
2008 RAV4
4x4 3.5L V6 Limited 5 Speed Automatic
 
Option D
JBL 6 changer in dash CH changer with satellite radio cap.
MP3 / WMA capability, hands free phone / bluetooth
9 speakers including subwoofer
50 state emissions
Daytime running lights
Driver and front passenger heated seats
Leather trimmed seats
Power / tilt moonroof with sunshades
 
Exterior: Black
Interior: Taupe Leather
 
All weather mats
 
MSRP $30662
 
Sure would appreciate any info in the invoice price of this vehicle and what a good deal would be.
 
Thanks
