#2581 of 3148 Re: 2008 RAV 4 Good Deal? [mazda626atx] by andy67 Jan 28, 2009 (10:51 am)
Replying to: mazda626atx (Jan 28, 2009 10:28 am) I got the same response from a couple of dealers that they would get the vehicle from another dealer if I put down deposit. But, I personally preferred not to do that as I wanted to test drive and look at the EXACT vehicle that I am going to buy and I wanted to keep it simple. It was quite convoluted anyways with whole dealings and I didn't want to add another wrinkle. But, I also don't think that they can take your money if you did not want to purchase the vehicle (read the contract/promissory note carefully) and AMEX should be able to cancel the transaction if it gets to that point. However, I think they want to sell and should try to make you happy and not get a bad word out about them either by doing something stupid. However, I would say that if he had it on the lot you could save some more money as they can give you better discounts on what is on the lot.

Replying to: mazda626atx (Jan 28, 2009 10:28 am) I don't have a strong opinion either way, but let me share some thoughts and experience. I got my RAV a week and a half ago. The dealer is 5-6 hours away. They got the car from another dealer (which I prefer to avoid) 11 miles away. They did NOT ask for any deposit, which I find surprising. I guess they trusted us. In any event, I would be hesitant to provide a credit card number unless I had a statement from the dealer specifying the car, equipment, maximum miles you will accept on it, and that it must be undamaged. Otherwise your deposit is fully refundable. Putting it on a credit card does give you a lot of protection should there be a disagreement. You can contest the charge if there is a reason and it will probably be removed.   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.

Replying to: andy67 (Jan 28, 2009 9:48 am) > So, I can buy the same warranty at anytime from a Toyota dealer though, right.   That is my understanding.   > Do you think the dealer can still reduce the price if I produce a better rate from someone else? Thanks.   At this point... who knows. You can ask. If they won't match, cancel the first one and buy it somewhere else.
