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...
 
regards,
kyfdx

bad experience with toyota car dealer in hollywood Florida by dissapointed5

Here's the story, actually i was looking to buy 08 Rav4 limited v6 leather seat AWD but they try to persuade me to buy limited v4 FWD which they have in stock. So i made an offer 26000 OTD with leather seat plus trade in price for my car 9500 and i will put downpayment for 4000. after i made my offer they call manager to deal with me and surprisingly after a big while of talking he said yes with 26000 OTD with leather seat. Then he passed it back to the finance person. The finance person didnt say anything and start to ask me to sign the paper. I was wonder all a long and asked to see the detail of the price and the amount that i have to finance. When i saw the total amount that i have to finance he put 19,xxx so i asked him why the total amount to finance come up to 19000 because the deal we agreed is at 26000 OTD so the amount we finace should be 26000-9500(trade in) = 16500. So the finance called manager to come in again and then i ask this guy the deal that we agreed is at 26000 OTD riight? why 19000 came from? the total to finance should be only 16500. The finance guy try to convince me that i dont need to look at that amount if i can get co sign, the monthly payment will be less. But i keep asking about the total amount to finance So he pretend to calculate and look in the computer and then tell me oh that was because of the extended warrantees if you dont want it i will take it out for you. (I have no idea when i told him i want extended warrantee and he put it for me without my permission)Then he passed it back to the finance guy and this time i signed everything and came out from his office to go get the car suddenly my bf reminded me about hey whay about 4000 downpayment that we put!!!!!!! I totally forgot about the downpayment and they didnt mention anything the second time that he fix the finance amount from 19xxx to 16500. The amount to finance MUST BE 26000-(9500trade in+4000downpayment)=12500. So i ran back to the office and ask what happening here? why they doing business like this,it ridiculous!!!!! We been dealing with them almost 4 hours and at the end i found out they try to rip me off. Then the manager guy just tell me oh no no no i coulndt give you 26000 OTD. It's the totally different story when we made a deal. So i cancelled everything. I am very disappointed and angry on how this dealer doing business, SHAME ON THEM

I understand what you are saying. For far too long, many car dealers get away with these bad practices. Why? Consumers accept it and pay the high prices. I'm glad you were not roped into their schemes. I have been in that situation myself. I'm dealing with two dealers right now trying to get the price down. If one dealer does offer me the price I want, (I can wait patiently) I'll tell him to send me a copy of the paperwork BEFORE I come in so I can read it at home with no PRESSURE at the car dealership. Try that and see what they say. If they want to sell a car, there's no reason a reputable dealership cannot send you the information by fax or in an e-mail for you to look at. Good luck and thanks for the info!

great experience with Fitzgerald Toyota in Maryland by vladesquire

I bought a RAV FWD Base 4 Cyl model with factory installed standard options (roof rack, daylights, cargo cover and net, CD AM/FM etc.) for $19,850 from Fitzgerald Toyota in Maryland. the only thing this price does not include is taxes and registration, which should come to about another $700. Because I said I will register and title the car in VA myself, they waived the $99 processing fee, and gave me a 60 days temp tag for $15.
 
I dealt with Harry Dayal and he was great. I did this entirely on line, contacting pretty much all the dealers in Richmond and DC area. With Fitzgerald, it was pretty much what you see is what you get - no gimmics, no hidden fees etc. When I sent Fittzgerald's quote to the next two cheapest dealers, they both said we can't match this price, so if you can get it that cheapely, go for it, so I did!
 
Do you guys and gals think I got a good deal?

Base Rav v6 4x4 by rupter

Hello to all,
 
I just joined another great forum. I have been lurking for a few days, and am not sure about this deal.
 
I live in the northeast tri-state area and have been getting prices for the 2008 Rav 4 v6 4x4. The prices I have been quoted seem rather hi, but I just got a lower offer and wondering if anyone thinks it's a ok deal. One dealer gave me a price of 25 k, and another 25,248.
 
The most recent price quoted has been $24,345 after $500 rebate. The only other fee's would be 6% state tax, and $194 doc fee.
 
Base rav v6 4x4
 
CD Tonneau cover
RR Roof Rails
AW 17"spoke wheels
RL Daytime Running Lights
TO Towprep Package
Z1 Accessory Package
 
The kbb and edmunds invoice on the Rav, with all options is $24,355, and $24,360 respectively. Does anyone think I can do better at the present time in the market?
Any responses or recommendations would be much appreciated...thanks
 
The MSRP on the sticker is $26,987.

I had the same thing happen on 2006 RAV4 V6. They added in the extened warranty etc...and than when I complained I was told they had to do it to get the financing that I wanted. An absolute lie. I finally got it fixed but they sure tried to screw me.

I also live in the Tristate area and am looking for a RAV4 Limited 4x4 V6. I got a few quotes and the best so far is 28,600 on a MSRP of $30,400.
 
  Thats a $1800 difference so if all else is equal your deal is much better than mine .
  You are getting $2642 off on the $24,345 off the MSRP of $26,987.
 
    I am just starting my research but I would appreciate you PMing me with your dealers name if you do not mind. Is that even possible in this forum ?
