Replying to: ep5 (Mar 11, 2009 2:47 pm) Turn the headrest around - you'll find it more comfortable. The dealer did that right off before I test-drove it when I said something about how uncomfortable the headrest was. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Mar 19, 2009 6:57 am)

Replying to: mazda626atx (Mar 18, 2009 7:52 pm) Thanks. I pass by Penn Toyota on Northern Blvd. everyday on the way to work. Still trying (without success) how to PM on this site. Clueless over here - can't find the button. Stay away from "the witch" - - - - - - - trying to find out who you used (salesman) as I see you can't post names. Can you PM me the info - perhaps it will pop up - somewhere when I log onto Edmunds.com and sign in. Thanks (what a pain). Replies to this message: mazda626atx (Mar 20, 2009 10:03 am)

Replying to: eyesports (Mar 19, 2009 5:44 pm) I had posted the name and number of my saleman and I received a notification from the site that that was against their rules.      Are you a member or RAV4world.com forum ? I joined them and get a lot of info there. My name there is RAV4ATHENS in case you are a member . If you are a member there you can PM me .    If we can not figure out a way to communicate legally , I would suggest you go into the USED car dept any day aside from Tues And Thurs and Holler out NO PROBLEM , NO PROBLEM or listen for an asian salesmen who is always saying that.   Tell him you are a friend of the guy who bought the Black Rav4 3 weeks ago from him .   I just spoke to him and told him to be aware of someone maybe in next few days

#2754 of 3148 Price for 2008 Rav4 and 2009 Rav4 by seminolegal Mar 20, 2009 (7:09 pm)
Hi, I'm a first time car buyer. I'm interested in Rav4 Base. I've got a quote for 2009 from a dealer (the precise price including documentary fee, taxes, license/fees): $23,912.   The salesman mentioned he's giving me this price based on Invoice + $100. I feel like this shouldn't be right, because invoice price is $21500, with marketing support from manufacturer ($1000), and I'm in a 7% tax region, this seems way too much to me. What should be a good deal for 2009 Rav4 (the precise price)?   I also noticed there're some new 2008 Rav4 Base in the lot, and it's 0% financing for 36 months. The invoice price for 2008 Rav4 is $19,888 (even though there's no marketing support with it). Any recommendation for the 2008 Rav4 precise price?   Just curious: Are we supposed to pay advertisement fee (That's included in the selling price)? or is it extra profit for dealership? What kind of fee should I avoid? Any other tips with negotiating prices?   Thanks and hope you all have a great weekend!

Replying to: seminolegal (Mar 20, 2009 7:09 pm) The quote you posted is pretty close to $100 over invoice with the added tax and fees. You may be able to get the 2008 for a little under invoice if you are patient and persistent.   We got a great deal at a dealership in Morristown, NJ for a 2008 Limited. On paper, we got the vehicle for just a bit under invoice but they overvalued our trade-in by $2000 more than our mechanic said it was worth in it's current state. We never proposed trading in but we weren't getting our desired price on the 2009 and were ready to walk when the salesman brought up the '08 model and then returned with our price including the trade-in. They checked out the old car so I'm fairly sure they priced the trade-in to make the numbers look good on paper and still give us our price.   I would advise deciding on an out-the-door price and start lower to allow room for negotiation. Try and work with an older (read- experienced) sales person as I often find the younger guys more intent on making their nut and less likely to come down in price in order to make the sale. Let the salesman work out the details and don't get caught up in a discussion about any particular fee. As long as your final price works out, you'll be satisfied. Keep it pleasant but be prepared to walk away. Good luck
