Replying to: kkrtrek (Dec 02, 2008 6:53 pm) My dealer did provide some service for that fee though - they handled going to the RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles) to get it registered, titled, and get new plates, which saved me at least two hours of my time if not more; handled all the paperwork with my insurance company; dealt with transferring the title on my trade; paid for the inspection sticker (state-mandated $29 fee); and put a full tank of gas in the car. Where are you located? |

The MSRP is 24,922 and DIP is 23,400. I'm thinking to offer 23,400 plus TTL. Is it a reasonable offer? Options: * 50 State Emissions * Base L4 EVP Package * Body Side Molding * Daytime Running Lights * Mudguards * Privacy Glass * Roof Rack w/Cross Bar Roof Rail * Third Row 50/50 Split Seat * Wheels: 17" Styled Steel

Replying to: bcburg (Dec 03, 2008 6:05 am) Is it a reasonable offer?" Edmunds doesn't show body side molding and mudguards as options, but without those the MSRP is 24705 and the dealer invoice shows as 22,444 (for my area - eastern MA). So you are 1000 over invoice as shown by Edmunds (their invoice seemed dead-on for me). Seems high based on my recent experience of getting close to the same car for right at invoice. |

Replying to: Thinkinghard (Dec 03, 2008 11:29 am) I paid cash. Toyota is not running any financing deals on the 2009 RAV4s at the moment. I saw your post on what you are looking for, and I looked on FitzMall. Based on the MSRP's that are shown, all of them have some options installed. All of the ones with MSRP of $23964 are just like mine - QV package and floor mats, and they are showing either$21703 or $21892 for the price (all with invoice price of $22261 - don't know where that comes from, it doesn't match what is on Edmunds ($21818), unless it includes the advertising charge, which Edmunds doesn't give). If you really want a stripped down one I think you might have trouble, I don't think dealers typically order them that way. Also, the invoice price of $20839 you mentioned in your post doesn't include shipping, which for me was $745, bringing the actual invoice price to $21584. To get one for under $21000 would be a really good deal. |

Replying to: wayside1 (Dec 03, 2008 12:37 pm) Thanks a lot for your advice. I did omit the destination charge at Edmunds' price.When I include QV and destination fees, the invoice price is $21692. ( I am at NH). It seems only '08 Rav4 may have good APR. Is there any design difference between '08 and 09 Rav4?

Replying to: Thinkinghard (Dec 03, 2008 7:51 pm) From the Edmunds 2009 RAV4 review: "What's New for 2009 A more powerful four-cylinder engine, a restyled grille and bumpers and the adoption of active headrests for the front seats mark the changes for the 2009 Toyota RAV4." I think the problem with an '08 at this point is that, unless you are going to keep it forever, you get nailed for an extra year of depreciation when you sell it. In three years it will be a four year old car, and no one will care that you bought it December 08 so it is really only 3 years old. If you are in southern NH, you could try expanding your search into MA. All the dealers around me (Framingham area) seemed to be right around invoice (as reported by Edmunds) or a little under.
