Replying to: nswartzb (Sep 17, 2008 11:07 am) I've been unexpectedly thrown into the new vehicle market courtesy of hurricane Ike. I just recently began looking at the RAV4. Just interested in the base 4-cyl fwd, as I'm trying to keep the price as close to $20K (or lower) as possible. I just received a quote of the following: VEHICLE: 2008 Toyota Rav4 2WD (4-cyl, Automatic) M.S.R.P $23,546.00 Internet Price (Before Rebate or Cash Down) $22,374.00 Rebate $500.00 Total Before TTL (Internet Sales Price) $21,874.00 the vehicle quoted above includes the following options you requested: CD Cargo Area Tonneau Cover with Multipurpose Cargo Net with Support Pole DR Black Roof Rails & Crossbars FE 50 State Emissions RL Daytime Running Lights SM Body Side Molding WT Window Tint CF Carpet Mat Set Carpet Floor Mats Rear Cargo Mat PV Permavin P4 Vehicle Shield Package Lusterizing Sealant Sound Shield Sealant Cleaner Rental Car Assistance As the OP stated, this quote is roughly $1600 off MSRP. Is this quote typical for these vehicles? I had been getting quotes for the CX9 that is more in the range of $9K off MSRP; However, I realize comparing the CX9 to the RAV4 is like apples & oranges. Would just like to find out what others are seeing in the current environment regarding the RAV4? Thanks!

Replying to: dissapointed5 (Sep 04, 2008 9:52 pm) Excellent experience at Royal Palm Toyota (2009 Prius) The sales staff are courteous and professional. The was no pressure to buy or push on options. While other dealers were marking up the price of a Prius from $3,000.00 $5,000.00 or $10,000.00 Royal Palm Toyota NEVER engaged in the practice of price gouging. Royal Palm Toyota has established its integrity for this customer and I would highly and strongly recommend the hour drive from Broward County to Palm Beach. Royal Palm Toyota did everything possible, and succeeded in delivering the vehicle. Again if you looking for honesty, integrity, no games its Royal Palm Toyota. |

Replying to: derrickson (Sep 28, 2008 12:00 pm) as i've noted, if you want to stay in the $20K range, the CX9 is probably to oexpensive, but you can easily get an Xterra with $6000-8000 off -- which should make up for the Xterrra's lousy MPG... |

Happy then pissed, my Saturn decided to throw a rod at 185,000 and with a mechanic's quote of 4,000 to fix it became time to buy. Having bought new in the past I went on a shopping extravaganza. My wife and I were in the market for a Camry, Accord, or Malibu but the Rav4 caught our eye and became our first choice. I did the email thing – sending an email to everyone in our area for a 2008 RAV4 base 2x4 4cyl 4A. After receiving all quotes we looked for a color, with only two silvers in our immediate area we headed to a dealership which gave us a good quote, but not the best. We sat down with the internet sales person and showed him the quote from another store and asked about the silver one we had already eyed in the back of the lot. He said he could meet the price and hence the end of my shopping experience. That is until Thursday when Toyota came out with a 2.9 for 60 month APR (October deal in our area) – the dealership says there is nothing they can do to help us. I just hope the price I paid was fair/good, because right now I feel like I got screwed.  MSRP $23039 Price paid (including various fees) OTD $19775.50 (this price includes a $750 rebate & $400 student/graduate incentive)

| Info for anyone in our area...Susie at DOXON Toyota in Auburn is a no nonsense internet resource. We paid $550 under invoice yesterday and took 0% for 3 years. | |

Waiting until October was the right thing to do as rebate increased to $1000 in Central Atlantic region. Made the purchase last night from an area dealer (Hazleton, PA) even though I started my negotiations w/ Fitzgerald Motors in Maryland. Fitzgerald did not have desired exterior color (Flint Mica) in stock. Their price would not have been as good as their posted in-stock internet prices if they would have dealer traded for my specific vehicle of choice. That being said, I used Fitzgerald's prices as leverage during my negotiations w/ local dealers. None of them would match Fitzgerald's price. My final deal came within $83 of Fitzgerald's posted internet price. Here are the details of my transaction: MSRP:$29644 Invoice: $27082 Paid: $25500 (including $1000 rebate & excluding TTL) Total discount: $4144 (13.98%) Amount below invoice: $582 RAV4 Sport V6 4x4 (model 4443) equipped with the following options: (EJ) JBL PREMIUM AM/FM STEREO (CD-A ) TONNEAU COVER (RL) DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (SR) PWR MOONROOF (TO) TOW PREP PKG (CF-R) 5-PIECE CARPET FLOOR & CARGO MATS (PPO) (MF) MUDGUARDS (PPO) (WL) WHEEL LOCKS Had 1 other local dealer w/ an offer $80 above what I paid and two other offers $200-$400 above what I paid. Thanks to fellow posters who helped out with the info during the purchase process. Better informed & educated car buying consumer as a result of this discussion board. Picking up vehicle tomorrow night. I'm sure they'll sit me down and try to ram an extended warranty down my throat before handing over the keys. |

Dealer turned down an offer of 27400 + TTL on a 2008 2WD RAV4 Ltd with: . Tow Prep . Pkg D . Daytime Running Lights . JBL Audio . PermaVIN Although from what I can tell from KBB/ConsumerReports, is that this is already close to 400 over Invoice. They keep insisting that their invoice prices are different than that on KBB/ConsumerReports (new cay buying paid report). Any idea if my offer was really off? They would apparently have settled for 27600. Right now, I'm getting all set to buy the CR-V instead

Replying to: kriebebw (Oct 08, 2008 4:25 am) I didn't take the $500 rebate opting instead for the 0% financing for which I'm pre-approved. As for the other Toyota dealers, the sales guys I've met with are even more pushy, aggressive and condescending. Same has applied so far for Toyota dealerships I've called around Austin, TX. I've not enjoyed the Toyota buying experience at all so far, except for the sales-person I dealt with yesterday... but who wouldn't come down on the price. I've had much better luck dealing with Honda... no package d, option e, wood-grain-applique-that-looks-like-plastic-from-a-mile etc. shoved down my throat as they seem to be with the 'pre-config'd Toyotas. Pity... I really liked this particular RAV4, but I'll have to instead go with the CR-V, which was a very close second choice. |
