Replying to: 76CelicaST (Jan 24, 2009 11:13 am) Your invoice for the vehicle should be 28.4 and an MSRP of 30.8. Check your vehicle options with Edmunds pricing on this website. I wouldn't pay anthing over invoice in this economic climate. Fitzmall has the same vehicle for about three hundred under invoice. I would ask for a price quote, then offer $1000 or $500 below invoice, when the dearler balks show them the Fitzmall price. Make sure the dealer gives you an OTD price that only includes tax, title and license. Do not pay dealer prep or any other fees. This is a buyers market. Keep shopping until someone matches your price. Good luck.

Hi, I was wondering what people think of this deal: 2008 Black 4x4 RAV 4 with 3rd row seating, privacy glass on rear and side, black roof rails and cross bars, 17" 5-spoke styled steel wheels, wheel locks, daytime running lights, mudguards, VIP RS3200 Plus security system, floor mats, 6-yr/100k extended platinum warranty (bumper-to-bumper), pre-paid classic maintenance program with 5 coupons for oil changes and 19-point inspection for every 5000 mi valid upto 3years, state sales tax, title, and tags so the OTD price for this $23900 and a $700 trade-in brings in to $23200 delivery price OTD. Does this sound like a decent deal to folks out there? Thanks for the input.

Replying to: andy67 (Jan 27, 2009 5:54 pm) It would help everyone if you could subtract out state taxes and fees and provide the actual purchase price. If you could determine the true invoice by using a site like Edmunds or others, that would be even better. Comparing the true invoice price with the actual purchase price allows everyone to evaluate your deal. BTW, what Toyota provides is not the true invoice price. It is an inflated number.

Replying to: kkrtrek (Jan 27, 2009 6:22 pm) Vehicle OTD Description: 2008 Black 4x4 RAV 4 with 3rd row seating, privacy glass on rear and side, black roof rails and cross bars, 17" 5-spoke styled steel wheels, wheel locks, daytime running lights, mudguards, VIP RS3200 Plus security system, preferred accessory package (floor mats, cargo net), 6-yr/100k extended platinum warranty (bumper-to-bumper) with $0 deductible, pre-paid classic maintenance program with 5 coupons for oil changes and 19-point inspection for every 5000 mi valid upto 3years. Price Breakdown: Purchase Price-$22357 (including all accessories and processing fees for consumer services of $399) TTL-$720 (3%sales tax in Virginia) Extended Service Warranty+Pre-paid Maint. with tax--$1537.2 Minus (-$1000 factory-to-consumer rebate and -$425 trade-in) Total OTD--$23189.2 The MSRP listed on the vehicle (sticker price) without TTL, extended warranty, and pre-paid maintenance program was $25381 so adding TTL, warranty the sticker price/MSRP total will come to about $27638-$1425 (rebate and trade-in) =$26213. So i paid about $3000 or 11.5% less than the sticker price. Does this sound like a decent deal? Thanks for the input. I think at least a couple of places they got me was the extended warranty price and the trade-in price. Only place I could find rates for extended warranty was on Toyota website ($1350) and the dealer matched that but he probably gets that for half the price. Is there anywhere else in the deal anyone thinks it could have been done better? This is my first experience buying a new car so I may have paid some extra$ for learning experience too. The sales people were very helpful and friendly unlike some others that we had visited--for what its worth. I will say that it is a GREAT vehicle, we have been enjoying the ride. Thanks.

Replying to: andy67 (Jan 28, 2009 7:13 am) In that case I think you got a decent price on the car - keep in mind it is a 2008, so if you sell it any time soon you will take a hit for an extra year of depreciation. You probably could have gotten a 2009 for around the same price, although the rebate might have been smaller. I think you did get taken on the warranty a little bit. Here's the thing though - AFAIK you can buy a Toyota warranty at any time it is still covered by the factory warranty, and you can buy it from any dealer. And there are some dealers out there who will heavily discount it, you can find them it you look around. You can probably cancel your warranty and get your money back, and then search around for a cheaper one from another dealer at your leisure. Or use the threat of canceling as leverage to get the price reduced. I didn't get one, my experience is that Toyotas are super-reliable.
