Replying to: rupter (Sep 08, 2008 5:47 pm) Remember you got it for me yesterday. Then I got it myself and now I cant find the site to do it again with different options . Do all you guys know, that the longer a dealer has a car, the lower the selling price becomes.I do not know if that lowers the invoice also? Something like that reverse thinking by dealers?  TIA

What will change is the depreciation of the car as it gets older. Once the 09's come out the depreciation of the car is going to be more. |

Came across this during my search. Anyone near VA looking for RAV4 should check this dealer out. They seem to have crazy prices. Here is one example: http://www.ourismanfairfaxtoyota.com/profile.asp?VIN=JTMBD31V686088280

Replying to: rupter (Sep 09, 2008 4:37 pm) Add that too the $26,960.00 ( of a comparably equipped Rav 4 V6 Limited )and I think my Fitzgerald World offer of $27,390 is better.Even if its just the delivery fee of $750 added it comes to $27,710 . I am almost certain Fitz said no delivery fees etc . I do not know about processing fees. I will call Fitz tomorrow and make sure there online price includes all those things ,like they say on their site. But as usual they more info we have the better off we are .

Replying to: mazda626atx (Sep 09, 2008 6:28 pm) So they have a separate delivery fee? And it's not the destination charge? I'll tell you..you gotta be really careful with these dealers. If someone is going to purchase a car a long way from home, I would recommend that they get the dealer to fax the deal on paper to them with the total price of everything involved down to the penny. This way you would know up front, before making that long drive only to discover hidden charges when you get there. If they won't do this, then something is amiss.

Replying to: kernelpanic (Sep 08, 2008 4:59 pm) Can you provide the dealer name and email me the rep that you're dealing with? I'm from Bellingham and the local dealer is offering $28,500 on a V6 Awd, Limited trim. Options include: * DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS * JBL IN-DASH 6-CD PREMIUM AUDIO * LEATHER SEAT PACKAGE * MOONROOF * MUDGUARDS (PIO) * SEAT HEATER * TOWING PACKAGE and I think dealer doc fees are extras. Thanks. |

In the market for a new RAV4. Love the Limited 4x4 AWD. Dealer won't budge below 29,600 ( Including TTL ). This has full leather package, heated seats, Moonroof, climate control and 6CD changer. Is this is a good deal or should I wait it out for a month or so for the '09's ?? I'm in 06460

[This post applies to 2008s (not 2009s).] I know this may be an unpopular post but.... I don't think people should be getting RAV4s right now, especially 6cyl 4WDs. I really researched small vs. mid size 6cyl AWD/4WD SUVs, and while I think RAV4s may have the best offerings for the small SUV, especially the great gas mileage, Toyota is just charging too much -- only $2000-4000 off MSRP on a typically $25-35K MSRP 6cyl 4WD model. Sticking to reliable, reasonabley priced Japanese makes -- Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, not Acura, Lexus, Infiniti -- I came to the following conclusion: If you really want a 7 passenger car, get a CX-9 -- with $7000-$10000 off a typically $30-40K MSRP AWD model. (plus the 3rd row is a real third row) (A Honda Pilot has good deals now, too.) If you only want a 5 passenger car, get an Xterra -- with $6000-$9000 off a typically $25-35K MSRP 4WD model. (plus you can go off-road if need be.) I know these aren't usually considered comparisons to the RAV4, but I think my conclusions are still valid. in particular, the typical comparisions to the RAV4 have their own problems -- CRV and Elements also have no real discounts and because they are 4cyl only, they are woefully underpowered. Again, I know the gas on the RAV4 is going to run something like $400-600/year less than a CX-9 or Xterra, but in 5 years, that is still just $2000-3000, not enough to justify the less-than-generous discounts on the RAV4. (I guess if you are going to keep the car for 7-10 years it may make sense????) anyway, I decided I wanted a true 7 passenger car, so I got a CX-9. ($7.5K off $36K MSRP, and i think i may have been able to get another $1K off if I had negotiated a bit longer and was not worried about the specific model i wanted getting taken.) also, if you get an Xterra, make sure to get the optional rear airbags, you save people and save money on insurance. best |
