Replying to: mazda626atx (Mar 11, 2009 3:46 pm) The kicker is that I did a ton of research (Consumer's, Edmunds, etc.) on only the 2009 models so still have no idea if we got a good deal or a great deal. Can anyone tell us? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: ravanip (Mar 11, 2009 9:51 am) My wife and I first drove the 2.4 I4 in a 2007 model RAV and we liked it well enough. Then just a couple months ago, we drove a new V6 and were completely blown away by it's power and good fuel economy for the size motor. So, we decided that was the one we wanted. Then later we drove the new 2.5 I4 and we changed our minds completely. My wife will be the primary driver and she said the V6 was way more than she wanted and the new 2.5L she liked a little better. We both thought the I4 RAV danced a little better on the curvy roads due to it being a little lighter up front. Of course, the extra $2000 more for the V6 was a contributing factor also. The previous gap between the 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder has been closed somewhat with the new 2.5 I4. The 2.5 has 13 more horsepower than the old 2.4, YET gets 12.8% better gas mileage, so says Toyota, than the old 2.4. The fact is they are both wonderful engines and you will be able to help your buying decision by driving them. I drove about 6 different RAV's because I wanted to be sure. I went on freeways, on curvy roads, up mountains, and in traffic. Don't be deterred from buying the I4 over its 4 speed transmission. The 4 speed is just fine and is stronger and gets better gas mileage than the Honda CRV with a 4cyl and 5 speed tranny. If you tow over 1500 lbs, want a really fast vehicle, and got the $2,000, the V6 is for you. The major complaint with the V6 is torque steer, especially in the FWD model. And on slippery roads be very gentle on the gas peddle with the V6 because it comes out of it's socks in a hurry.

Replying to: blueman4 (Mar 12, 2009 8:05 pm) Did you bought your car for $500 under invoice before the rebate or after? I am confuse when people say $x under invoice, is that before the rebate or after? (1) If it was after than Final Price = Invoice - $500 + TTL (2) if it was before than Final Price = Invoice - $500 - $750* + TTL Which one is true? Thank you for your help. *In my area Rebate is $750 for RAV4.

Hi. I need help. I am located in Long Island and am looking to buy a Rav4 V6 Sport. I was given an internet price that seems pretty good to me. The accessories it has are FE DR DJ RL SR TO CF and MF. The internet price given to me through a costco program is $26,010. Is this a fair price? I am looking to purchase this weekend. Thank you in advance for any advice.
