I got roughly $400 under invoice , so you are getting $3000 more for a year old car.
 
 Compare Kelly Blue book and see how fast values of older Rav 4s drop. Remember the 2010 is coming out in 4-5 months so your car will be 2 years old very soon.
 
  If you keep it a long time it doesnt matter as much,so I guess thats an important thing to consider IMHO.
 
 Good Luck whatever you decide ,

shopping for a rav4 or cr-v by susanjean
Feb 22, 2009 (5:48 am)

I am still trying to make up my mind about whether to buy a Rav4 or CR-V. I like the way the Rav4 handles, and I think I can get a better bargain from Toyota. But I like the CR-V EX options and have been very pleased with my current Honda--10 years old.
 
Here are the basic numbers. (I'm shopping in PA.) Would appreciate hearing others' thoughts and recent shopping experience.
 
RAV4 2009 4wd Basic model: $21,900 (inc. destination but not taxes and fees)
 
CR-V 2009 EX 4wd:$22,500 (inc. destination but not taxes and fees).
 
Thanks

If you are shopping the basic RAV4 versus the CRV EX, I would go for the CRV. As you noted, the CRV EX has a few more niceties than the lower RAV. We are replacing our 2002 CRV EX with a 2009 RAV4 Sport V6.......if Toyota will build our order as requested. Quite simply, Honda has lost us after 20 years due to bad design.
 
According to the website, the Sport can be built in Pacific Blue with the Appearance Package but none exist in the US. Our dealer is making an attempt to either get it into production through special order or changing an available allocation slot. If so, we should have a rare unit. If not, we'll hold on to the CRV as silver, red, black, gray just aren't that interesting to us.
 
BTW, we are also in PA.

09 RAV4 quoted edmunds invoice by macwell

Hi All,
 
I have found a 09 RAV4 and the dealer has quoted it at Edmunds invoice. Also, its the only RAV4 I found with certain specific features I want.
 
 Note - This one is located outside my local dealer area, local dealer would not match invoice price.
 
I am wondering, is it possible to get a 09 RAV4 under Edmunds
invoice right now with the bad auto economy news? Should I push under
invoice or take it at invoice?
 
The other side of it, I have a new 08 sedan I plan to trade-in
for the RAV4 (I need a SUV right now). So I know I will be taking
a hit on the trade-in. I have not told the dealer about my
trade-in let, trying to get the lowest price on the RAv4 set first.
 
P.S. - Located in the SouthEast Toyota region.
 
Any thoughts or feedback would be great.
Thanks to everyone!

There is never any harm in trying to do better, but let me tell you my experience. After searching for about a month, we paid about $500 over true, Edmunds invoice for our '09 RAV. We wanted a particular color, I4, Limited, with 4wd. With that level of specificity, there were very few to choose from, and we searched over five Western states, including California. We still ended up paying for what I like to call the ticky-tacky options we didn't want. Our area (Oregon) does not seem to be very competitive in terms of Toyota dealers being aggressive. Seattle did not seem much better, so we ended up paying the price because we wanted the car. We also wanted it the way we wanted it instead of getting a color we didn't want or not having the equipment we did.
 
It helps that you quote the Edmunds price. I think there are people who believe they get their Toyota under invoice when they use the dealer-provided "invoice" figure, which I believe to be inflated. I'm not saying it's impossible to get one under true invoice, but I sure couldn't. It might depend on the local or regional market.
 
I am very happy with our RAV. In my case, getting what we wanted when we wanted (except for having to search for a month) was worth not getting the absolute best deal. By the way, how is the one you want equipped?

RAV-4 vs CR-V by luvthesuninca

Hello!
 
I am also trying to decide between the RAV-4 and the CR-V. I think the RAV-4 is a nicer looking vehicle but am wondering if I can get a great deal on one with the same options you get in the CRV-EXL. I want 4 cyl, FWD, leather, heated seats, moonroof. I also want NAV but does the RAV-4 come with NAV?
 
Has anyone bought either similar vehicle recently so I can compare price?
I am in LA.
Thanks!

2009 Toyota RAV4 V6 AWD Limited by spinfit1

Hi,
This forum is great. It took me quite a while to decide between the CRV or the RAV4 V6. In the end the V6 won out. Same gas mileage, but much more power with the V6. Just bought a new 2009 Toyota RAV4 V6 Limited AWD. It has Limited extra value pkg #1(QY), Tow Prep Pkg (TO), 50 state emissions (FE), and floor mats (CF). MSRP $30,274. Dealer Invoice $27,800. I paid $27,137 plus Tax, title and reg fees. Total OTD $28,900.
 
Signed the deal last Sat, 02/22/2009. We pick it up tomorrow. Dealer was great and very easy to deal with. Woburn Toyota, Woburn, MA.

You did great . I got mine 2 weeks ago at $300 or so under invoice and was happy with that price.
  
  You got $663 under invoice so you did better than I did.
   
     Just curious what did you pay for Title and plates ?
 
Also you must have a much lower tax rate than the NYC 8.375 %
 
 Congrats and enjoy your new car like I am enjoying mine
