Here's an update:
 
After spamming almost 20 dealers and negotiating with about 5 of them, I got this quote:
 
Silver 2008 Rav4 4X4 V6 Limited
EJ - JBL stereo system
HD - heated seats
LA - leather
RL - day-time running lights
SR - moonroof
TO - tow prep package
 
Sales price after $1000 rebate = $26,665
Price OTD = $29,291.83
 
Supposedly, they gave me a price that was $200+ BELOW invoice (and according to Edmunds, this seems true). This was after I told them that I would be financing the car through my own credit union + cash down. The only catch was that they told me I need to make the purchase before the end of this weekend (like most of the other dealers). Seems good to me, and I was able to get 2 other quotes within $100 of this.

It does, thanks. There's actually two in my general area at around that same price, so either this is a really sought-after model year, or there's more to them than meets the eye.
 
Thanks for your help!

Good Deal? by geobee

I live in So. California and just got a Silver 2008 4x2 Rav4 Base Model (#4430E), with the 3rd row seat pkg. for $21,200 before $1000 rebate. Accessories include: FE, DR, AA, TH, CT, EF & we got the nice cargo net that comes with the Sport trim and a cover for the trunk space thrown in (dealer said the 2 were worth about $400). OTD was $22,900 after rebate. I think this was a good deal, but would love someone to confirm that it was.

If you believe Edmunds, the invoice for your car was $27,929 (exclusive of TDA). So if you paid $27,665 before rebate, you did get it for $264 below invoice.
 
4x4 LTD V6 $24,632
Freight $745
LA Leather Seats $840
SR Moon Roof $720
EJ Radio $480
HD Heated Seats $352
TO Tow Prep $128
RL Running Lights $32
TOTAL $27,929.00
 
I bought the very same car back in March for $28,254 (about $300 over invoice and NO REBATE) which was a good deal at the time. What a difference 5 months makes!

Just bought a new 2008 base model 4 cyl. 2WD in Everglade Metallic (greenish) w/ roof rails, 17" steel wheels, daytime running lights, tonneau & cargo net, mudflaps, cargo & floor mats, and wheel locks for $21k true out the door. All fees, delivery, taxes included in the $21k. Good or bad?
Thanks,

Our OTD price was $22851.31 after applying the $1K rebate, but... we didn't' get the cargo net and trunk cover. I think we both did very well! If you would have wanted the cargo tray and cover, your deal wins. Luckily the cargo cover from my old Highlander kinda fits the Rav. Enjoy your Rav!

Thanx

Thanks for all the tips! We just got the base 08 Rav4, 4x2 (FWD) in black with FE, DR, AA, and CF for $18495 + TTL. We added a Vehicle Immobilizer & Alarm for $695 (probably paid too much, but didn't mind). OTD price with TTL was $21054.89 - basically $21K. This was a door crasher special (only 2 available at this price) and they seem to be having a lot of door crasher specials at various dealerships in the San Diego area - you will find the ad's in the Saturday edition of the Union Tribune... good luck!
 
Oh, don't buy the Extended Care warranty from the dealer you buy the car from - shop around. I was quoted $1600 for the 7yr/75Mile Platinum warranty and found that I can buy it for under $600 from Jerry at Call Jerry at http://www.midwestsuperstore.com/

Eadlertx, We actually ended up purchasing our car from Red River Autoplex in Denison where I live and contribute to the local economy. But, I ended up with with 4-5 dealerships who would have sold the car within $70 of the same deal, after a lot of work. Toyota of Dallas, Pat Lobb Toyota, Toyota of Lewisville, Toyota of Paris and Toyota of Ardmore, Ok. If you will email me I can give you the name of the salesmen I talked with.
