2008 2WD RAV4 Limited by heizenberg

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

IMO...That it is WAY too much money. You did not indicate if your offer included rebate money. Even if $1000 that would have brought you down to $26400. I can't speak for the KBB information but I do know that Edmunds data was accurate except that it does not include cost for Toyota Dealer Advertising (TDA) which is approx. $450 dpending on where you live. Edmunds does mention the non-inclusion of TDA in their price quoting. I would run your info through the Edmunds price quote and see how they compare. All that being said, you should not even be paying invoice on a 2008 vehicle at this point in time. $500 below invoice seems to be the present benchmark. I would shop elsewhere.

Many thanks for your feedback kriebebw.
 
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.

 Congratulations

uhm, no, pre-tax. I'm in Riverhead, NY, so the tax is substantial... so now, do you withdraw the Congrats? Hey, it's my first new car ever! Picked a heck of a time to take that leap! LOL
 
It's semi-loaded, as far as I know. I would like a couple of more things... but I'll live without (compass, for instance.) Figure I'll get a compass when I get a GPS (obviously, not included.)

Well regardless of what you paid congratulations. I am in Manhattan and have gotten quotes from dealers in Queens, Upstate New york and New Jersey.
    I had a $38,200 offer one month ago. I think I could have gotten an MSRP $31,500 or so for $37,800.
  That being said there are a lot of after market items that can be added to this car. I assume your MSRP was above $31,500 or so ?
  Best of Luck with your new car

I assume you are talking 2008 model
    I looked at the Blizzard Pearl myself. I think its about a $200 extra . You did not mention tow prep but I feel quite certain thats included but check.
$27,390 AT FITZGERALD or
$27,566 BLIZZARD WHITE
  You can use that for a reference but I also got an internet quote of
2008 RAV-4 LIMITED 4X4 V6 MODEL# 4453 W/ FE EJ HD LA RL SR TO CF MF MSRP 31,033.00 INVOICE 28,275.00 LESS 300.00 SELLING PRICE $ 27,975.00 PLUS TAX 2,342.90 = 30,317.90 AND DMV 227.50 NEW PLATE FEES = 30,545.40 , LESS 500.00
CASH BACK $ 30,045.40 OUT THE DOOR
 
   The actual cost of car pre TTL and tax being $27,703
 
  $30,045 minus the tax $2,342.
  So I guess $27,703 plus $200 would be a fair price
$27,900 total. Remember I got this price a month ago and they should be more motivated to get rid of their inventory now .
  Keep us informed
