Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Toyota RAV4 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

I've done a bit of research and since I can't get the Limited without the moonroof and a bunch of other options - and I only want leather seats - it looks like I might have to order one. Any ideas on how long it would take and what a dealer normally asks for as a deposit? If I just order one will I have any leverage with the dealer when it comes to the "out the door" price?

Hey all, I am in Eastern North Carolina and the Toyota Dealerships here don't seem to be negotiating on RAV4s. They are receiving 2 or 3 RAVs at a time and they seem to be flying out of the dealerships. Customers are actually paying MSRP for them! I've checked with 6 different dealers so far. And, there aren't any V6s to be had here either. The dealers are saying they haven't even been released yet, but we know better. Have any of you had a different experience in NC? |

| If you are on the cheap, this vehicle can be had for 21.2K out the door here in Eastern PA. You get everything the base RAV has except it is a bit smaller and looks more like a wagon. Still, that about $3K -$4K less than you will pay for the RAV at this point | |

We ordered a Rav4 4x4 V6 base model for $23800 excluding taxes. MSRP $25500. Not sure if it is a good deal. Also, looks like the V6 models started to come in. I had a dealer asking me to come in for a test drive. Thanks! |

| on a Limited 4X4 4 cyl with moon roof, DRL, Side Air, Leather Seats, Seat Heaters, Autodimm Mirror for $24,900. $700 UNDER invoice. Dealer is in NJ. Email me if you want details. | |

We just took delivery of our new RAV today! 06 Silver, 4cyl AWD Sport options: sunroof, 6cd changer, mats, wheel locks. MSRP $25,411, we paid $500 under MSRP. Very few deals to be had on any RAVs in our area (Albany NY), so we took this deal before waiting lists began. Toyota has began advertising heavily on this new vehicle and we could not wait till summer when supply may meet demand. |

I had been getting quotes from dealers in Phoenix. Finally found a dealer I liked and we conversed over the internet. He had an 06 RAV4, Limited, with all the options for $28,488.00. He sent me all the break downs and every option and the price of the vehicle were all MSRP. He would not negotiate so I am still without my RAV4. Is Toyota making an effort to limit the number of RAV4 4cyl in anticipation of selling the 6cyl for big bucks? How difficult is it to buy a car out of state and bring it home. Do you have to pay for license fees in both states? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joyce |

Got lured up to Elway Toyota to do a test drive on a V6. Said they had two... turned out they had zero. Except for the sold V6 they were prepping for a customer. They were so enthusiastic to want to sell one to me that they pushed me to Test the sold vehicle anyway. I ended up buying one, but not from them. Made the plunge... got a Silver one with the JBL stereo upgrade, wheel locks, Side/Curtain airbags, tonneau/cargo net, car mats, daytime running lights, and tow package. $26,124. SHOP AROUND, BE PATIENT, and be willing to go outside your local area. I put out 25 - 30 queries via the Toyota website. Got some really, really bad offers ("Only sell at MSRP"), and got some really, really good standouts: Broadway Toyota of Portland (OR) and Mountain States Toyota of Denver. On the bad side... the Elway dealership said they had a GUARANTEE to "meet and beat any price ... even after the sale" (yes, those are quotes) and even put that guarantee IN WRITING. Gladly accepted my $1000 credit card charge to hold a future vehicle (since they were out of stock) and promised invoice + $700. Turns out that in Elway's math, it actually equalled invoice + $1099. Found a better price for a vehicle in stock at another dealership, and Elway refused to either meet or beat the price, AND, they refused to credit my card back. Why? Well, they felt they met their "meet and beat any price even after the sale" becuase (again, quotes) "we feel we fulfilled that guarantee because we made a good faith effort to negotiate with you." That little philosophy somehow failed to show up in their written guarantee. Un-flippin' believable... like it won't be hard to dispute that credit card charge. I'm working with a consumer advocacy program to go after them, but felt this forum should be forewarned of doing business with them -- at least until they make amends.
