Just put a deposit down on a V6 at Fox Lake Toyota - 4x2 with clothe, airbags, sunroof, towing package and floor
 mats - MSRP $26,904 price $25,000. I also had a quote on the same but with leather and heated seats - MSRP $28,394 price $26,500. They also offered me $1,000 more on trade in versus what Libertyville Toyota offered, and their price was over $1,500 better. They are a brand new dealer (previously Evanston Toyota), and seem to have the best inventory on V6. they were a pleasure to deal with. If you want any more infor let me know.

kremerb,
Thanks for sharing your price info. After reading few messages from this forum, it gave me a pretty good idea as how much I should be paying for a V6 Limited; especially your message. Do you mind telling me which dealer you got your Rav from for $26,124? I think you've gotten a pretty good deal. I would like to get a V6 Limited. Thanks.

John Elway Toyota tried to pull the $1000 deposit over the phone w/ me as well. Good thing I called Burt Toyota, and he told me that is crazy, I have never even met the guy. One good thing that came out of it though, Burt dropped $300 and held the car for me for 4 days (all verbal). If you're in the Denver area, I highly recommend Burt. Mountain States was a bit flaky in my experience.

Pricing for RAV4 - WA state by cynthia8

I've found these message boards very help so I thought I'd pass my buying experience - I'm in Seattle, WA
 
I just made a deal for a Sport model 4x4 I-4. I contacted several dealers via the Internet and visted a few more to take test drives. Some dealers would not budge off MSRP but I got 3 quotes under MSRP. The best offer was $1300 off MSRP.
 
I may have left a little money on the table but in general, I'm pretty happy with my buying experience. The sales person was very professional and upfront.

I've been lurking for a few weeks, just doing my due diligence as my purchase time frame is still a few months away. Since I live near Seattle, I have to ask if you can name which dealers were sticking to MSRP and which gave you the best deals. Also, which dealers provided the best test drive experience?
 
I've seen a post on the Pilot board that rated the Puget Sound Honda dealers, but I have not seen a comparable one for Toyota dealers....

I made a deal on a Rav 4 limited, 4 x 4 , 4 cylinder, with option package A. (moon roof, air bags, JBL stereo) The price was $24,695. I think it's a decent deal, but the dealer can't find me a vehicle. My wife is holding out for pacific blue color which is making it tough. I live near Portland, OR. Anyone have any input or idea when the log jam might break on the 4 cylinders?
 
Thanks

I purchased from Rodman Toyota in Everett. The best in-person experiences were Rodman and Lake City (in-person). The best Internet experiences were Michael's (Bellevue) and Toyota of Puyallup. Rodman, Michael's and Toyota of Puyallup were willing to deal and were really the only ones I negotiated with.
 
I also test drove at Michaels but they are a volume dealer and have a huge bull-pen of aggressive sales guys. I would buy from the Internet Sales guy but not in-person. The guy at Bob Bridge where I also test drove lied about a couple of things (like being able to order a manual transmission) and started negotiating in the middle of the test drive after I said I was only looking.
 
Burien, Downtown Toyota and Kirkland seemed to have the highest prices. After telling him EXACTLY what I wanted, the guy at Downtown Toyota kept coming back with the wrong configuration and would I be interested.
 
The salesman at Rodman told me that the area dealers were becoming more flexible on price (up to a point). If I kept the game going a little more between the 3 dealers, I might have gotten a few more dollars off but I was tired of the whole process.
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks, much obliged for the great information. Too bad about Bob Bridge because they are the closest to me, but this isn't the first time I've heard about them and their hard sells. I didn't even know about Rodman so I'll definitely keep them in mind when I'm ready to buy.
