#216 of 3148 Central Connecticut/Wester Mass. Dealership? by rcf8000 Feb 16, 2006 (1:43 pm)
I would like to purchase a '06 RAV4 in the Central Connecticut area. I'm short on time as my inherited Chevy Blazer dropped its transmission. Anyone out there buy (and get a decent deal)around here? Thanks
#217 of 3148 Just bought a Flint Mica Sport. by ralimar Feb 16, 2006 (7:40 pm)
Thought I'd check in.. Picking up a Flint Mica Rav4 Sport 4wd 4cyl on Saturday... MSRP was 25,039, and I got the local dealer down to 23,500 before making the deal. Live in Northeast Wisconsin... Really excited to try it in the new snow we got!
#218 of 3148 Help Me Get Real by greg54 Feb 16, 2006 (10:07 pm)
It's interesting to see how everyone wrestles with the big three: CR-V, Forester, and RAV4. I find everyone's input really valuable.   My questions:   RAV4 in the state of Washington (actually Seattle or Spokane, Washington), has anyone had any experience with dealerships in this area?   I have read so much stuff in the last week, my head hurts. I could really use some input on this last question:   Is the RAV4, 4 cylinder, a car anyone could live with or is the 6 cylinder engine really the thing to do and wait for. I get some kind of greed thing going when I think of the power the 6 cylinder offers, but is that truly worth the money. Yes, I would love to have the power; I'd love to have a Masarrati for that matter. But I need folks on this forum to help me get real.   I am also looking at the Forester (not the turbo, yet) and the CR-V.   I want to put $5,000 down and try to finance about $20,000. I have a trade-in, but it is not going to hardly garner me anything.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#219 of 3148 Pricing for RAV4 V6; Chicagoland. by onetuffgrrl Feb 17, 2006 (6:22 am)
Looking for a best price on this configuration...anybody have any deals they'd like to share? Or good dealers that didn't rip you off in Chicago/suburbs?   RAV4 V6 LTD 4x4 with these features:    Silver, ash interior.    leather seats    Heated seats    Moonroof    Roof rack, which I believe is standard.    Driver side/passenger side airbags Replies to this message: radar51 (Feb 25, 2006 11:37 pm)

Replying to: greg54 (Feb 16, 2006 10:07 pm) I am in Seattle and have been considering the CRV and RAV4. The CRV did not have enough leg room for me - I'm tall with long legs so I am going with the RAV4   I test drove a 4cyl 4x4 base model at Bob Bridge donw in Renton last weekend. I liked it a lot. I had also been debating the 4 vs. 6 but after the test up and down hils in the wilds of Renton, I think the 4 has plenty of power and pick-up for me. Interestingly, I've talked with 2 salesmen at different dealers and both (without prompting) said they thought the 6 might have too much power for the size (not sure if this was just to compensate that they didn't have an 6's yet)   I probabaly won't go with Bob Bridge - salesman lied and said he could get me a manual transmission if I wanted one (they don't make for the US market). I have also spoken with Rodland Toyota in Everett - they seem pretty nice and straightforward - they follow-up but no pressure. I have scheduled a test drive with them tomorrow and plan to look at things a lot more closely.   Hope this helps!

Replying to: cynthia8 (Feb 17, 2006 8:23 pm) "the 6 might have too much power for the size"   How can that be possible. The Corvette has 500+ hp is much smaller. Can you ever have too much power? Replies to this message: jimd4 (Feb 18, 2006 4:28 pm) thecat (Feb 19, 2006 7:53 am)

Replying to: cynthia8 (Feb 17, 2006 8:23 pm) Yes the sales persons are a little silly at times. I had a lady tell me I could have the car in 3 weeks as the V6s are made in Tennesee with the Avalons! No such place.

Replying to: thecat (Feb 18, 2006 6:59 am) I will change and start writing bad things about the V6 I guess if I ever want to get one for less than MSRP. Just kidding. But some people(a lot of them I hope... ) will find the V6 more than they need or want. And yes throttle tip in is high and if you touch it too much................OFF YOU GO! That part made me smile on Friday nite test drive. Replies to this message: thecat (Feb 19, 2006 7:53 am)

Replying to: jimd4 (Feb 18, 2006 4:28 pm) "start writing bad things about the V6 I guess if I ever want to get one for less than MSRP"   Actually, I have a deposit on a loaded V6 Ltd. with Fitzgerald at $1,800 below MSRP. So, it can be done. I have no doubt that once the initial feeding frenzy is over pricing on all of the RAV4's will get normalized.
