I am looking to buy a RAV $ 4x4 V6 limited and the first dealer online quote I got is $28,61200 + tax and Motor vehicle fees. That is for the C option at the Toyota site and the salesman said on the phone the Invoice or MSRP is $30,400 or so. Firts questionis, is the Invoice the same as the MSRP ? I am new to buying a new car and am not familiar with terminology.
 He says the Limited come loaded with JBL 6 Cd radio, heated seats, Tow hitch prep, leather interior , large wheels ,climate control ,sunroof. Anything mssing ? and is this a good price. He said he does not have the car but he can get it in a reasonable time .
 To me this is just a starting point
Any info, advice would be appreciated . I asked for Black with Ash interior
TIA

GET HELP
 
Imean this in the nicest possible way:
 
If you do not know the difference between MSRP and Invoice, you need to have a friend or family member help you with buying the car, otherwise you can easily pay thousands more than you should.
 
In the meantime read the articles on this website and others about tips for buying new.
 
best.

You said get help. What do you think I came here for . Hamburgers LOL .
   I didn't realize it was such a difficult question to field,and after running 6 business for 30 years I just figured one of you guys could give me a quick answer.
  Maybe someone could be more succint in their answer?
 
 Not only that, you didnt tell me what you thought about the price I mentioned . After all the acronyms, the bottom line is all that really matters , isn't it?

Negotiating to buy an 08 Rav 4 limited v6 4x4 by pugzgirl

I'm wondering if anyone out there has recently purchased a loaded rav4 with an MSRP of 31,184 in the Chicago area. It has leather, moonroof, heated seats, 6cd, etc. What price did you get?
 
So far, the best quote I have received is 27,481. I have been frustrated because the dealer claims that the invoice price is 27,070 before any options are added on. So how does the consumer know what the actual invoice price is? Do you go by the national base price of the vehicle or do you go by the invoice price after options are added. I'm not sure if this price is the best I can get or not. I tried to get them to offer me the SUV for 26000, they acted as if there was no way they would come down to that price.
 
Thanks for the advice!

i bought a 08 base 4wd with FE CD DR AA RL CF MF.I am in OHIO.The msrp is 24400, and the final price is 21900+tax+doc.Maybe it is not a good price, but what i am really not satisfied is that my car odometer is already 235 miles. I am a new student here, so at the start i think it is normal.But some people told me that it is a car for drive test, so it ran for 235 miles.
 
What can i do? Exchange another car? Ask for some compensation?
 
Really need your guide and advice.
 
My e-mail is kirsten308333hotmail.com.
 
Looking forward to your information.

Did you sign off on the deal and take delivery? If so, you are out of luck..
 
If you are in Ohio, you definitely signed an odometer disclosure statement, in all that paperwork.. So, claiming you didn't know about the mileage until after delivery would be a hard case to make..
 
IMO, 235 miles is really no big deal.. but, that's just my opinion..

Well you are getting a much better price than I was got on my initial request. My first dealer offered me a price of
$28,6120 on a MSRP of $30,400 . So your deal looks a lot better , but someone more knowledgeable should step in and help us both . I am in the New York city area and searched New Jersey also

hi
 
thank you for your information.
 
can you tell me the 235 miles is the test driver miles or the delivery mile of the car?

Not sure how I'd know that..
 
Look at your window sticker.. Is your dealer's name on the sticker, or some other dealer? If it's some other dealer, then they probably traded for your car, and the car was probably driven to your dealer... You can figure the difference, and see what is attributable to the swap..
 
If it has your dealer's name on the sticker, then those are either test-drive miles, loaner car miles, or a salesperson using the car for his personal transportation.. I'm not sure it really matters which one (or, even how you'd find out) ... It's only 235 miles...
