Dealer Invoice Info [rupter] by kriebebw

Received an invoice from Fitzgerald over the weekend and it confirmed my thoughts about TDA accounting for the approx. $500 difference between the Edmunds vs.Fitzgerald invoice price. TDA looks to be a regional cost and may vary significantly but unsure. I'll find out when I try to get a local dealers invoice. Unfortunatey, invoice was scanned so could not copy sections into this post but here are some of the extras:
 
Destination Charge: $685
TDA: $478
Dealer Holdback: $536
Whsl. Financial Reserve: $268
Gasoline: $10
 
Also noticed that Edmunds base model invoice costs have the holdback (2% base MSRP) and financial reserve (1% base MSRP) already built into their price. Holdback and unused finacing money is refunded to the dealer so they are already making up to $800 on a car that is sold at invoice...let alone all of the other add-on's that they try to tack on.

Is that the the out the door price OTD. No hidden fees aside from registration ?
 
 What was the MSRP on your car and where are you located. If in East Coast could you please tell me the name of your dealer
  Thanks

Who is offering 0% for 72 months? Local Toyota (northern NJ) dealer is offering 0 for 60, but it's a scam. It was a way to get people into their dealership.

2008 Rav4 4x4 V6 by didok

Hello-I'm new here, but thought I would return the favor for all who posted here before, and helped me with my new purchase. I just bought a 2008 4x4 Base V6, with $936 of options, in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. I paid $23276 plus tax, title and license (there is a $750 rebate now in Minnesota). That is $200 under invoice for the vehicle before the rebate.
I,m not sure how well I did, but the Rav4 had the equipment I wanted and was the right color (red). The price was over $400 better than the next best quote I received.
It looks like a very nice SUV-best of luck in your buying decisions!

What's going on?
Why are people still getting car's with a measly $2-4K off MSRP?
there are good deals to be had on other quality japanese SUVs...
i guess it is your money though...

I too wondered about the small reduction from MSRP. I believe that several factors lead to that small reduction. For one-the resale value or the RAV4. NADA book for a 2007 used model with 20,000 miles is nearly the same as I paid new for this 2008. Used Ravs with 60, 000 miles are selling here for omly $5000-$6000 less than what I paid new for this vehicle.
Finally, I bought the base model so there is a much smaller margin between MSRP and dealer cost to work with. As best I can tell-the dealer made far less than $500 before deducting overhead expenses on the vehicle...Thanks

Congratulations. Because one of my dealers has offered me a price with a rebate, my question to you is , did the rebate come off the price immediately, or are you waiting for a check .
  Your bottom line is $950 off invoice , and being it is not the Limited loaded with extras ( that they make a lot of extra $$ on ) I am looking at, I think you can be proud of the deal you got . IMHO
  How much was the title and license , as I believe dealers vary in what they charge .
 Enjoy your new car

Thanks for your kind thoughts! The rebate was given immediately as a price reduction.
The dealer costs were nominal, perhaps $150 total for license and title fees.
Good luck in your purchase!
