RAV4 Sport V4 4WD 2008 by areseepee

just bought 2008 Rav4 Sport V4 4WD
Options:
+ 6Disc player
+Tonneau Cover
+ Daytime running lights +
+Moonroof
+Carpet Floor mats/Cargo Mat
 
$25k + TTL w/ 0% APR 36 mo
 
Dealer originally wanted $26,774 but gave $1k "rebate" for $25,774. I negotiated down to $25k, dealer wanted $25,200. I stood firm and dealer gave in to $25k. Checked 2nd closest dealer and they offered $24,920 (slap in the face). Did we get a decent deal? Wonder how low we could have gone.

Grossinger City Toyota near North and Wells - It's part of the Grossinger Toyota Group. The guy I worked with is the Internet Sales Manager. I got near that price with Arlington Toyota and Continental Toyota as well as 2-3 more. All within about $200.
 
Grossinger was the first to guarantee me delivery on the day I wanted it.
 
I got pre-negotiated pricing from my Costco membership (which guaranteed me the invoice price), then shopped that price with the internet managers at a number of dealerships. That's how I got under the invoice price - even on a rare car like the third row RAV4. Actually the internet manager misquoted me the price on the car (did not add the 6 CD changer price) and ended up giving me the feature for free. I think I was $700 under invoice.

I'm seeing that people are getting the rebate and 0% financing, is this a given or was it something you had to haggle for? Thanks

Base 4WD V6 Model by soapturtle

So my car was destroyed by a deer and now I need a replacement that won't break my pocket.
 
Couple questions:
1. Does anyone know how long this 0% financing is going to last?
2. Will toyota lower prices after thanksgiving/b4 christmas?
3. How much money below invoice will a dealer go?
4. Will I get a better deal outside of NY?

Are you talking 2008 or 2009? Also NY meaning State or NYC ?
  Have you read any of the past posts from different areas in the country?

Is it a good deal?? by ryoung1688

Hello, this is my first post.
 
2008 Rav4 Base model 2-wheel drive with standard option package. MSRP $23004
 
If the dealer offer $20200 + 0% 36 month (+ Tax+ Doc fee + Title + Registration), is it the best offer?
 
Also, Documentation Fee is ~$300. Is it reasonable? Someone said that they refused to pay the Doc Fee. Is it possible not pay it?
 
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!!

Dealers add on a lot of fees that do not have to be paid or at least negotiated. Go to this link to get a general education about how dealers work
 
http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/resultsa.asp
 
 Enter your region, new car, model etc etc and read the caveats they have posted thruout their site.Very informative plus go back apage or two and read what others have mentioned.
 
    This applies to soapturtles ? also who should be hopefully reading all these posts also

Rav4 V6 Sport 2WD 2008 or 2009 in CA by rav4b

Please can anyone provide some advice.
 
I am planning to get my first car a Rav4 V6 Sport 2WD in Oct or Nov. I was qouted an out the door price for 2008 of $27,800 ($25K including tax and fees) but not in the color i wanted. So I was thinking of waiting for 2009 Rav4 instead. I don't mind paying about $1000 more.
 
I checked the prices online on local dealers website and all the 2009 RAV4 Sport V6 have MSRP prices over $29K with tax and fee the price will be over $30K! That a big difference to 2008. I thought the MSRP for a Rav4 V6 sport was $25K. Am I missing something?
 
Should I get the 2008 or wait for 2009. I was hoping to get the Rav4 2009 for around $28K.
