Replying to: rengaw (Mar 05, 2009 10:20 pm) Can you list few more details of your purchase. What RAV4 trim did you buy? What base price did you pay? How much was all the fees and tax and title? What was the OTD price? If you financed, who did you finance with and what was the APR? I am planning on going to Magic Toyota this Sunday March 15th for a Sport 4WD 4 Cyl RAV4 and would like to help my brother-in-law get a good deal. Your info will greatly help me and it will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

I have a Solara Convert. right now and because of neck problems having trouble seeing behind me and to the left. How are the sight lines out of the Rav 4? Also I purchased my 2007 in July of 2006, when will the 2010 Rav 4 come out? Sorry if I posted in the wrong place, but was not sure where this question would fit in. |

Hi everyone, I just purchased a new 2009 Rav4 Base model 4 cyl FWD with third row seating for $21620 plus tax and title....I'm not sure I got a good deal but reading rengaw post, I paid $225 over what she paid...! here's the breakdown of what I paid.... Base Price: $21,620.06 Taxes (8.25% in CA): $1,788.19 Doc Fee: $55 (had to pay sales tax on this...suxs) Title and Registration: $228 CA Tire Fee: $8.75 Minus (-) $500 Rebate Total out the door price $23,200.... Keep in mind i'm in California and the invoice price was around $21608...based on intellichoice...! Hard to believe they only had one car in silver in inventory in the entire Southern California....i'd recommend going to cars.com and finding the same MSRP with the right color and then going to the dealer and trying to work out a deal...! Edmunds should really work on their inventory for local dealers...its better to know which dealers has which models and colors in stock before I go there...! |

I purchased the above RAV with the addition of all weather mats, mudguards, and the L4 base pkg. I got it for $22,000 (this price includes $500 rebate) plus taxes and fees. I bought at Magic Toyota in Edmonds, WA. Rogers Toyota in Lewiston, ID gave me the best deal which Magic Toyota matched. I went with Magic because it was closer but Rogers would have been my dealership of choice if they had been closer. What I found really odd was that the invoice prices I was shown at several dealers for the same exact RAV would vary a few hundred dollars. But then again, as I was looking through the RAV's for sale by Fitzmall, the very same vehicles with the exact equipment showed a $350 difference. Of course, when I dealer purchases a vehicle there may be different incentives in place which would account for the differences in invoice. Two dealers said they would meet my price but when we actually got down to talk turkey they went hundreds of dollars higher than what they had told me on the phone. So I walked. |

Replying to: rengaw (Mar 10, 2009 10:27 pm) I found the same thing with the RAV4 Sport V6.........typically by approx $200. I think it has to do with build date and that Toyota increased the invoice but not the MSRP. That said, I just purchased one at $200 over invoice ($300 under after the rebate) and the dealer paid pretty aggressively on my trade. |

Replying to: rengaw (Mar 10, 2009 10:27 pm) Can you please tell us the details. I have 2 questions I wanted to ask and sorry if it is already discussed. 1. 4-Cyl. Vs V6.. What should decide which one to select? (V6 is almost 2K more) 2. AWD Vs FWD again what should be the deciding factor? (I am in Maryland if that is one of the criteria) I know ppl here are smart and they can give reasons that will help me make my decision. Thanks

Replying to: ravanip (Mar 11, 2009 9:51 am) The I4 is more than sufficient for anything we need, and the engine and transmission seem very nicely matched. My recommendation would be to consider the V6 if you want to drive your RAV like a sports car or if you are doing almost exclusively high-speed freeway driving. I find my I4 is up to the freeway driving, but the mileage seems to suffer at high speeds (by which I mean like cruising at 70 or more). I am very happy with my 4-cylinder. I drove the V6 and was not as impressed as I expected to be. That's not a knock on it, it just didn't impress me enough to merit the extra cost and slight dropoff in mileage. Then again, my other car is an Acura TL.  We have the AWD, since one of the reasons for the purchase was to feel more secure in driving to winter sports areas like ski resorts and cross-country ski locales. I have no recommendation of the AWD vs the FWD. |

Replying to: mazda626atx (Mar 07, 2009 12:37 pm) .... As the economy has slowed all businesses have less opportunities to create revenue. If we're used to having 10 customers a month to cover our overhead and now we're getting 7 we have to charge more per customer just to stay open. If the economy continues to slow the prices will go up, not down. That's just the law of supply and demand. When there is alot of demand you have to be more competitive to play. Uh, price goes up when demand goes down? That is a new one!! I did finally find a dealer, Putnam, in the north bay who agreed to go $500 under invoice for the exact same car. The odd thing is that when I presented Toyota Sunnyvale with the email offer from Putnam to sell at $500 under invoice, Toyota Sunnyvale still refused to budge to anything approaching invoice. So it does pay to shop around. And not shop at Toyota Sunnyvale if you want a good price!
