Replying to: kkrtrek (Jan 27, 2009 6:22 pm) My dealer says the invoice is $28,4xx and Fitz shows it as $28,785. I do not understand the difference between Invoices, but maybe its the difference between shipping for NYC as oppsed to Maryland. In any event the bottom line price pre TTLD is aprrox the same. The local dealer has matched Fitz malls price within $21 . My only concern is that he has to get the car from another dealer and wants one thousand dollar deposit on my AMex before he locates it. I have heard to never let a dealer get the car from another dealer , and only buy from the inventory in stock, Being the deposit is on my amex and if I carefully watch the wording of the contract do you think I should go ahead with this. Fitzmall has the same car for $21 less plus a similar model ,for $300 less owing to the fact that they have the car in stock for a long time. But driving 4 hours to pick up the car and getting service from a different dealer , I think I am better off getting it from the local guy. My only concern is the 1k down payment . I feel Amex will back me up if there is any trouble? Thoughts ?? Should I insist he get the car first and then I will buy it from him after I see it ? PGP |

Replying to: andy67 (Jan 28, 2009 7:13 am) Enjoy your RAV. I just got a 2009. I prefer my engine to your, but I prefer your styling to mine.  I haven't posted my experience yet, but plan to do so in the next week. I got an "OK" deal--not real good, not horrific, but I love my RAV.

Replying to: mazda626atx (Jan 28, 2009 10:28 am) I notice you wrote that the local dealer want a deposit "before he locates it." You mean he has not even located the car you want? If that's the case, I would NOT put a deposit down. When he does find it, you might consider how far away it is, so how far it will be driven to your local dealership. I wouldn't worry about getting your service locally if you buy from Fitzmall. Service departments tend to welcome you with open arms. One last thought. Have him locate the car you want. Consider going to the dealer and telling him you want to buy the car, but don't feel comfortable with the deposit. If he wants to sell it to you, he will. If not, you have a fine alternative. |

I would like to get 2009 RAV4 Ltd V6 with EVP#1 (QY) in NYC. I tried online quote for $27,700 (w/ destination charge) at Plaza Automall, but they won't budge. MRSP for this is $29,915, invoice is $27,554 and TMV is $28,243. Can anyone find the same price or similar price in NYC? Thanks.

I just checked Fitzmall site. Pretty amazing prices. I see a 2009 RAV4 V6 Ltd with QY, BC, TO, CF-R (carpets), and MF (mud grds) for $28,116 internet price. Sweeeeeet!! Do you think other dealers will price match? I live in Brooklyn. Thanks Mazda626atx.
