I'm also in the Houston area. We ended up with a 2008 RAV4 Base V6 $25000 including TTL. We didn't take the $1,000 rebate and opted for 2.9% financing since the savings would be more in the long run. It has tinted windows, floor mats, 3500 lb tow package, roof rack. We ended up not getting the 3rd row option after viewing the car. The 3rd row just isn't very functional unless it will used for small children. We didn't want alot of bells of whistles like the extra mile package etc. We just want something to carry around a kayak and our bikes
 
Both my husband and I emailed the offers to different dealers. We went to 3 dealerships and finally bought from Sterling McCall. Something we learned was that when you look up the inventory of cars for the dealerships "available" means its part of the virtual pool and the car isn't actually at the dealership. We only priced cars that were "in stock", brought our TMV price sheets with us as well as the names of other dealerships. Before we settled on the price, we called other dealerships who said they couldn't beat the price.
 
Anyway, good luck to you. We are happy with our new toy

Yes its a 2 wheel drive. It is a 4 cylinder. It's based on an invoice from the dealership (consumer sheet). The guy also added the extra value pkg #2 to it. We are located in Miami, FL.

Thanks for the quick response. It's very good deal at $25000 OTD (you meant including TTL?) with Roofrack, Tow & Tint option. I know that DonMcGill can do special SR (Moonroof) at $1100. We spent couples of day at SM, DonMcGill,...without luck. Did you dealt with internet sale person (Blake) or sale manager? We really want to match your excellent purchase.

Yes it was $25000 OTD (that includes TTL at 6.25% plus documentation fees). At SM I dealt with the internet sales manager (I don't think I can say the name on here).
 
Almost all of the dealers started at either 2% above "dealer costs" which isn't the true invoice price or $200 above dealer costs. We went to Fred Haas Country and World and they weren't willing to budge on the dealer costs so we walked. At SM, they started at 2% above dealer costs and I got them down to dealer costs. Then I went through each of the fees on the dealer costs. I had them take out the factory hold back fee (I told them they get this fee from the factory when they sell the car so essentially they are getting this fee twice), the 1% finance fee (they said they finance the cars to get them on the lot and I told them that this was their cost for doing business and its not value added to the car and they took the fee off), I also had them take out the fuel costs fee (I told them I wasn't going to finance 4 gallons of gas for th next 5 years so they took it off).
 
I got a lot of advice from carbuyingtips.com from a previous post. I hope this helps you.

I haven't seen any recent post on a 2009 RAV4 Sport - 4Cyl - 4x4.
 
I'm looking on Long Island area and I'm seeing MSRP - 27,014, dealers are only offering 25,194 - 25,550 (w/dest).
 
I think there crazy and told them all keep it.
 
How much discounting are people getting, and are there any dealer incentives, or financing deals?
 
Appreciate any feedback.

I'm glad to find this forum. Here's what I am looking at: 08 V6 Limited Classic Silver with RL running lights $40, TO tow prep $160, T tint $179, DO extra mile D pkg. $1733 ( mats mud guards, etc.), P4 sealant $349. See if this all adds up: $25670 plus $800 delivery/handling plus options of $2461 equals sticker price $28931. I would like to do the 2.9% 60mos option and am thinking of offering $25900 plus TTL. I am in the Dallas Fort Worth market. Thanks for any info.

PLEASE look at my post 2422. I am BEGGING anyone for information on their 09 purchase costs (excluding TT&L) relative to invoice (including destination). Without knowing the invoice cost, it is difficult to determine what kind of deal you have been offered. I would *guess* the invoice cost on the sport you are describing in around $24,500--but that is just a guess. Can you determine (from Edmunds or elsewhere) the actually invoice cost of the Rav you are pricing and post it.
 
So far, the one "solid" offer I have in for a RAV 4WD, 4-cylinder with special value package #1 and backup camera. Invoice (including destination) is $25,898. My offer is $27,200--a shocking 5% over invoice price. I sure would like to know what someone else has done relative to invoice, so I get some idea what is feasible to shoot for.
