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.

•JBL-AM/FM 6Disc Changer
•Moonroof
•Leather Seats/Interior
•Seat Warmers
•Carpet Mats
 
And walk-out price with TTL and all dealer fees of $26,268. The sales tax was 7% (included in this price).
 
Is that a good deal here in Atlanta, GA?

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

I refused to pay for the special paint, I got Pacific Blue metallic at no extra charge, I'm getting an after market 3500# hitch with wiring installed for under $300. I think the carpet /mats the Rav4 comes with are cheap looking, I wished I would of just bought after market mats!

Ruthie
Thanks for your reply. I've discussed the hitch with the trailer mechanics who does repair and maintenance on my boat trailer and has installed Tow Hitches and wiring on my old Volvo.
The trailer wiring harness has to be special because the Rav4 has LED tail and brake lights. My trailer guy says the boat trailer wiring has to be wired from the battery and can't be spliced from the existing wiring in the rear of the Rav4. Perhaps you should check to see if the wiring you're having installed handles the LED rear lights on the Rav4 properly. The wiring harness alone, aftermarket , goes for about $160. The MSRP on the RAV4 Hitch is $399. If the wiring is included at that price it seems to me it would be worth having it installed by Toyota. Hopefully they would install it properly.
 
The Special Color I'm getting is Blizzard Pearl, I'll try to see if I can avoid the special paint charge. Thanks for the tip.
