Replying to: kriebebw (Oct 30, 2008 10:31 am) 1. Know the invoice 2. Can I safely assume the holdback is 2% of the invoice 3. Can I safely assume the financial reserve is 1% of the invoice 4. The only fees I should be paying for are the taxes/DMV fees - title & registration - anything else? 5. Anything else?

Replying to: soapturtle (Oct 30, 2008 10:36 am) 2. Holdback is 2% of the Base MSRP cost (not the RAV4 base model but the base charge for the Limited. Again you get this from Edmunds. They show base model price of $27070. 2% = $541 3. Financial Reserve is 1% of the Base MSRP cost which = $271 4. These are the only additioanl items that I paid for. 5. My purchase was from Independence Toyota (Hazelton, PA). Also had a dealer in Reading, PA (Performance Toyota) with a very similar offer on identical car. There are a lot of these cars out there. Go the Toyota website & search dealers by your zip code. Just about everyone lists their new vehicle inventory Good Luck. Hope I just saved you some money!! |

Does anyone know what's up with Toyota's model offerings? On the TOYOTA.COM configurator, the packages/options for the new Rav4's are nil. No matter what trim I choose, the only package or option is the backup camera - no leather, no towing package, no sound upgrades, nothing! Is Toyota scaling back production to just bare bones models? |

I'm interested in leasing an '08 or '09 4X4, V6 base model RAV4 (NY area). I have no idea what a reasonable lease offer is. I negotiated a good deal in the past with my Highlander, but now the process seems more complicated. The only offer I've gotten is $3500 down, $350/mo, with remote starter and bumper guards for the '09 model, the dealer didn't have any '08 models left. I'm thinking that i should negotiate the deal without the extras added on. Does anyone have any idea what a reasonable offer would be?

Sorry for the double post. Not sure where to post the question. I've been looking for a used RAV4. I got them down to $21750 including doc fee (he says required in our state by law) but not taxes or registration. He listed it at $23750. It's the 2007 RAV4 Limited fully tricked out with only 14,190 miles on it. Trying to decide on this or a 2009 or 2008 v6 limited one - someone said they got theirs down to $26570 or something. Keep in mind the features below are standard but also include the extras (like bluetooth that comes with the JBL speakers). It also has a clean carfax and autocheck record. Doesn't have NAVI is about it. He even said it has towing package parts. THere's no major cosmetic defects or rust either. Here's this deal: Exterior Aerodynamic multi-reflector halogen headlamps w/auto-off Black roof rails w/cross bars Chrome grille Color-keyed bumpers Color-keyed door handles Color-keyed hard shell spare tire cover Color-keyed heated foldable pwr mirrors Color-keyed rear spoiler w/stop lamp FOG LIGHTS High Solar Energy-Absorbing glass Intermittent rear wiper LED rear lamps Rear privacy glass Side-opening rear door w/hold-open feature Washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers Interior (10) cup/bottle holders (3) 12V auxiliary pwr outlets 60/40 split fabric-trimmed rear bench w/slide/recline function, 1-touch fold-flat lever, height-adjustable headrest, center armrest AM/FM stereo w/6-disc in-dash CD changer-inc: MP3/WMA capability, aux input jack, (6) speakers Amber-illuminated Optitron instrument cluster-inc: speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, LCD odometer w/(2) tripmeters Cargo area storage pockets in wheel housing w/(2) cupholders Cruise control w/brake deceleration feature Digital clock Direct tire pressure monitor system Door panel storage pockets, bottle holders Dual glove boxes w/upper box one-push open/close Dual visor vanity mirrors w/sliding extensions, roof-mounted vanity light Dual-zone automatic air conditioning w/air filtration, information display, micro dust/pollen removal capability Engine Immobilizer Fabric-trimmed 8-way pwr driver/4-way manual passenger seats-inc: pwr driver lumbar support, height adjustment, seatback pockets Fender-mounted mast antenna Illuminated entry-inc: key illumination, interior light, front map light Interior footwell lighting Leather-wrapped shift knob w/metallic insert, gated shifter Leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel w/audio controls Multi-function center console-inc: (2) illuminated cupholders, storage box, cell phone storage pocket Outside temp gauge Pwr door locks Pwr windows w/driver-side auto up/down & jam protection Rear deck storage-inc: water-repellant foldable deck board Rear window defogger w/timer Remote hood/fuel filler door releases Remote keyless entry Tonneau cover w/cargo net Mechanical 17" x 7.0 6-spoke aluminum wheels 3.5L DOHC SFI 24-valve dual VVT-i V6 engine 5-speed ECT automatic transmission Anti-lock brake system (ABS) w/brake assist Double-wishbone rear suspension w/coil springs Downhill assist control (DAC) Electric pwr rack & pinion steering Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) Front/rear stabilizer bars Full-size spare tire Hill start assist control (HAC) Independent Macpherson strut front suspension On-demand 4-wheel drive P225/65R17 all-season tires Pwr vented front/rear solid disc brakes Traction control (TRAC) Vehicle stability control (VSC) Safety 3-point seat belts for all seating positions w/adjustable front seatbelt anchors Anti-lock brake system (ABS) w/brake assist Child protector rear door locks Child restraint system (ISOFIX CRS) top tether anchors for all rear seating positions Collapsible steering column Driver/front passenger advanced airbag system Driver/front passenger front seat-mounted side airbags Drivers emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelt Front & 2nd row roll-sensing side curtain airbags Front crumple zone Passengers automatic locking retractor (ALR) & emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelts Side impact door beams Traction control (TRAC) Vehicle stability control (VSC) Brakes Brake ABS System: 4-Wheel Brake Type: Pwr Disc -
