Replying to: cyclist_chick (Nov 18, 2008 8:37 am) I hope that you really enjoy the ride and still checking this forum for awhile. I got the spreadsheet ready and came to SM dealer tonight but it did not work out. Therefore, I would like to ask you again: 1) T.M.F (Toyota Marketing Fund) ~ $770. I removed this. Did you pay this fee? 2) PIO (Pre Install Option) Holdback? How about this? 3) 2% Holdback MSRP? I assume that this fee was taken out? 4) 1% Finance Fee. You said that this was taken out 5) Destination/Handling fee ~$740. The spreadsheet tells me it's required? 6) What is your Dealer profits %? It would be great if you could list out. They also asked your "last" name or last 4 VIN# & purchase date to match those options above and I was stuck because the manager could find "Chick" on the list? Would you please help. I learned that you were a new buyer but you picked up and close the business so fast. Thanks a bunch. |

Replying to: mazda626atx (Nov 16, 2008 5:18 pm) Three dealers that I spoke with, including Fitz did not know about this . Some cars have been shipped without this incentive (either QY or QZ ) and have a MSRP $2000 over the exact same car configured with the options listed individually. Everyone beware . There are cars out there that were shipped without this $2000 incentive and they will try to sell them to unsuspecting buyers, especially seeing as how they do not know about it themselves. So this is really a hidden $2000 incentive Toyota put on car, showing they are having a tough time selling them PGP

I ended my quest for a 2009 Toyota RAV4 today, since dealers are not really dealing with these cars. I'm only able to get $400 over invoice and feel there are better deals to be made, and I don't like this "take it or leave it attitude", especially in this market. I guess a Honda man will always a Honda man, and I'm fine with that! Ciao! |

Replying to: kderobertis (Nov 22, 2008 11:41 am) http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/resultsa.asp Aside from that dealer , have gotten 1 offer for invoice , and another dealer at $350 ( Fitz) under invoice and a local crook that I suspect will not keep his word in some way or another offering $27,900 for invoice of $28,504. Just in case invoices vary these cars are offered from $2500 to $2990 off MSRP . Where are you and how far from a reasonably competitive market ?

Replying to: mazda626atx (Nov 22, 2008 7:38 pm) Now, I only buy Japanese cars, currently own Lexus and Honda, but like I said in the previous post, this "take it or leave it attitude" they are playing is not justified in these troubled times. Let's face it, nobody is buying big ticket items! Even if I was to get a price at invoice or below, Toyota has lost me as a future customer, with the "holding strong" techique.

I am looking for RAV4 with 3rd row V4  22275, where the invoice price is 22432 with options ... I am also getting offers for RAV4 V6 with 3rd row 23500 MSRP, where the invoice is 24458 with options - I am in DC- area ... I need the following information - 1. How are these prices? what should be a reasonable bargain? 2. Does it matter a lot in terms of power between RAV4 V4 and V6. Once in a while I will be using the 3rd row seat and I am only concerned whether V6 will make a lot difference in that case. |
