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 |

Replying to: cartalk10 (Sep 10, 2008 9:02 am) I have 5 guys offering me that car way below $29000 . I do not know where you are but do some research using Edmunds site http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/toyota/rav4/100920113/prices.html then go to this link http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/resultsa.asp fill out the model etc and use this as an additional guide. One of my dealers that originally said $1000 off the MSRP $ 31,353 was the most I could get off the car, has come down to $27475 via a different salesperson at the same delaer in one week. Do your research and I think you could get almost 3K off MSRP or $500 off invoice price . Do not get robbed no matter where you live

Here is what I found after looking at some of the details on the Fitzgerald website. You need to select a vehicle and click on the CONSUMER INFORMATION tab. -NEW VEHICLE PRICING INFORMATION -This is a New vehicle located in the state of Pennsylvania. -Price Does NOT Include Tax, Tags, Title, Optional Dealer Processing Charge of $55. If you select a car located in MD the processing charge for the processing charge is $99. I'm not sure why the processing charge is different depending on which state the vehicle is located since tags & title are separate line items. I would like to see some clarification on this issue. Regarding freight charges. It is quite clear that the internet price includes freight.
