Thanks a lot for your advice. I sent email to a dozen dealers and asked my dealer to match the cheapest quote I got and he did. I saved $400 on the extended warranty after the deal was almost done. That almost brings this deal from decent to good, would you agree? Thanks again!!

TH is third row seating. I emailed him QZ not QY. I am wondering if he will pull a bait and switch on me.

From the Fitzmall website, they have your specs 09 RAV4 Base Fwd with floor and cargo mats and value pkg for $20,533. They will probably undervalue your trade-in. Check Edmunds used car price to see what your car is worth.

Sweet! The power of the internet!!!
 
I'll expect my 25% cut in the mail...
 
Overall I think your deal is pretty good. I paid $21800 for essentially the same vehicle (2009 though) without the third row seat and the $30 dealer-installed alarm, and no rebate.
 
What did you trade in? You only got $425... I got $1000 for my 11 year old Maxima with 130,000 miles, and I'm kicking myself for not selling it myself.
 
How is the 3rd row seat? It didn't seem to me there was enough room to put another row of seats back there. My sales guy said "midgets and children", he was not too politically correct.

Is that $29,990 with QZ ? I think he will bait and switch you.
 
   Also the car I am looking at Fitzmall is not the one with the 2929 vin. That one is cheaper and in PA not MD
  
  The one I am comparing to is BLACK/BEIGE LEATHER
   JTMBK31V69D004123
  in MD for $28,416.00
     
    The same MSRP $30,848 is $300 higher in MD versus the one with VIN 2929 in PA.
  
    I wonder if this is due to the fact that they have it in stock for a longer time , or because the shipping charges are different ?
  
    I would love to know the VIN # codes so I could compare manufacture date etc on different cars .
  As you can tell, I do not believe anything car salesmen tell me .

Hey you are right the mrsp is the same price but your #4123 is much better with the leather seats compared to leather trimmed seats. I just came back from Hudson Toyota and test drove the RAV4 V6 Ltd, it is QY and not QZ. When I accelerate fairly hard, the engine sounds like a 4 cyclinder, like it is working super hard. I have Honda Accord V6 2003 with less hp (240 v. 268) and it sounds so much smoother. I told the salesman, and they looked confused/ surprised. If the RAV4 sounds like that, I will not get it.
 
I also had an appraisal on my car and they gave me only 2/3 of the Edmunds trade in value. I left and told them that I will check with Plaza Automall. Plaza Automall gave me the same price of $27,990, but I have to check the appraisal value for my car. Anyone want my car??

'09, V6, 3rd Row, Tow Prep, base model by Nofor

A salesman at a RI dealership told me the following regarding a 09 V6 4WD base model with 3rd row and tow prep. Interested to see if this guy's a straight talker:
 
1. There was a price increase of around $246 on the RAV4 from Toyota, so the Invoice/MSRP prices of some comparably equipped vehicles will be different, depending on how long they have been sitting. Older vehicles (still 2009s) which haven't sold will still have the cheaper, older prices - before the price increase.
 
2. The difference between Edmunds listed invoice for this vehicle and his "official" invoice ($427 more than Edmunds lists) is due to the fact that his figure includes a $350 "Toyota Advertising Fee",he called this a "TDAA" fee. He said this was not negotiable and all dealers pay this directly to Toyota. The remaining $77 I think he said was for floor mats. This seems to jive with Edmund's statement about advert fees: http://www.edmunds.com/about/feepopup.html
 
3. He quoted me $24,610 ("200 over invoice") for an '09 Base V6 w/ 3rd row & tow prep with 17" steel wheels. This includes the current $500 rebate and QW value package (Daytime Running Lights, Roof racks, Rear Privacy Glass). Alloy wheels bumps it up another $210.
 
Can anybody offer any feedback as to whether this guy is full of it, or whether this is the going rate, or a good deal? I am paying cash, no trade in. Edmunds invoice is $24,483 and TMV is $25,154.
 
Thanks,
 
Noah

I DO NOT THINK THE LEATHER MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
 
 I have asked about leather trimmed and leathers seats and leather surfaces and I beleive all 3 are the same seats .
  I think as the person above, states Toyota may have raised the price or the price is lowered on cars that are in stock for longer periods of time, or a combo of both .
   I test drove a V6 and it was like a Ferrari. Good reason to actually drive the car you are going to buy before doing any paperwork
 What exactly where the options on the Plaza Auto mall car and where are they located ?
  TIA
