#2829 of 3148 Re: 28400 after rebate for V6 4WD Limited with QY, TO, BC, CF-R [lupham] by orangeman99 Apr 08, 2009 (9:25 am)
Replying to: lupham (Apr 07, 2009 11:06 am) Getting a good deal also has A LOT to do with the dealer's supply. If they are oversupplied, they will give you a better deal to move a car. The geographical area plays a factor. If your area doesn't have many dealers or the supply is low on that RAV4, a good deal will be harder to find. And they know what other dealers have.   So there are many factors at play, besides your negotiating skills.   Best advice that I can give you is to go in ready to buy ON THE SPOT and you give them your price, not let them give you their price. If they take it, great. If not, you say "Thank you, have a nice day".
#2830 of 3148 Leased 2009 Rav 4 Limited, in New York City by orangeman99 Apr 10, 2009 (9:06 am)
On 3/31/09, I leased a 09 Limited, 4WD, cloth.   The sticker price: 25,880 car 40 RL (daytime lights) 900 SR (moonroof) 199 CF (carpet) 745 destination 27,764 total MSRP   This is what I calculate based on the figures in the lease agreement:   Sale price: 25,700 + maintenance plan (495) + gap insur (195) + acquisition (650)= 27,040 residual: 16,537 (60% of MSRP) MF: .0009 term=36 12,000/year payoff old Rav 4 (2 payments left, $810 total)   depreciation: $291.75 finance: $39.22 tax (8.375%) $27.72 payoff old Rav4 $22.50 Lease payment SHOULD BE: $381.19   I got it for $357/mo, with basically no money down ($500 down for 1st month, DMV, fees, etc).   I think I got a pretty good deal. The salesman told me there were no incentives at the time, but I'm pretty sure there was a factory-to-dealer cash still available in March. No?   I bought it at Queensboro Toyota, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. This is the second Rav 4 I leased from them, but they won't be getting any of my money ever again. The salesman lied to me, and later tried to convince me that I misunderstood. As we were negotiating I tolf him exactly what I wanted (apart from the car and options, I wanted maintenance and gap insurance), he came back with $358. I said $350/mo "out the door" and I'll take it right now. He said $355. I said NO, $350 I said "OUT THE DOOR" again. He said ok.   He charged my $500 and started on the paperwork. In the itemized bill, he listed the options and maintenance, but no gap insurance. I asked and he said, that I have to go talk to another guy about it and it's extra. WTF? I thought that "out the door" is all-inclusive of taxes/fees/charges. Did I misunderstand? I was pissed but wasn't going to let a good deal go over $7/mo extra. But it wasn't the money, it was the lying and the deceiving that angered me. So, it ended up being $357/mo with the gap.   Email me for the saleman's name, if interested. Click on my username and it will give you my email address.
#2831 of 3148 Is this a good deal? by natalicious Apr 12, 2009 (12:22 am)
I visited a dealership in NJ today & found 3 vehicles of interest: 2006 Rav-4 v4 AWD-34k miles-18,995-I passed on that one because he wouldn't budge on the price. 2008 Camry LE v4-30k miles-$15,695- maybe 2008 Rav-4 V4 FWD-21k miles-17,797 otd (original listed price was 18,995)   All of the vehicles listed above are Certified used. I'm starting to question if paying the extra for certification is really worth it....I know I sound cheap...No judging i'm frustrated with the process (searching, dealership visits and all that stuff)   I'm not expecting you to answer the Camry question but i'd like to know if the Rav-4's are good deals. I'd prefer a used V6 Rav-4 but i've been having a hard time finding one.   Thank you Wonderful People!! Replies to this message: kkrtrek (Apr 12, 2009 11:14 am) bigdadi118 (Apr 12, 2009 12:23 pm)

Replying to: natalicious (Apr 12, 2009 12:22 am) I can't really answer your questions about the used prices, but I have a suggestion. If you are willing to pay $18k (assuming you are) for a 2008 with 18,000 miles, why not look at a new 2009 base model. You get the quicker, better mileage, new 4 cylinder engine, a brand new car, and a rebate. I would think you could get a base RAV for under $20,000 (counting the rebate, but not including TT&L). Just a thought. Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Apr 12, 2009 12:23 pm)

Replying to: kkrtrek (Apr 12, 2009 11:14 am) We paid 2007 RAV4 in 2007 $18,888 + doc fee + TT&L on new 4x4 base I-4 ... so you can get close to this price or little higher.

Replying to: lupham (Apr 07, 2009 11:06 am) Thanks to all the information on this thread, we just closed on a 2009 RAV4 Ltd, 6cyl, QY, BC, CF-R, TO, FE, Black Forest Green over Ash Leather interior, near Chicago, IL. Dealer showed a "invoice" of $28,846 and asked me to make an offer. Told him that the invoice included TDA of $450+, which I would not pay. Since the car was a rarity in color, and the salesman had gone to the trouble of getting it from another dealer, I offered $28,200. He was gone 5 mins and came back and accepted. Then the rebate, so the real car cost was $27,700. Since taxes here are so high, OTD was $30,650.(Gave him the $150 doc fee, then taxes and new plates, no aftersell warranties or the like) Thanks to all who post here and hope this post can help others get the best deal.

#2838 of 3148 NY Lease Deal by maddeyd Apr 18, 2009 (3:47 pm)
Great Forum! Upstate New York, Rochester, in 2 days going to close lease deal on Base RAV4 4X4 Pyrite w/beige QV, FE, CF & MF for total cost = MRSP $ 24,063. OTD for $267 for 36 months. Down payment of $1000. Dealer had advertised $269 "Sign and Drive" with no down, but this included recent graduate incentive of $1000. Not being a recent grad I put the $1,000 down. The residual in $14,527. The taxes, title, registration, destination and acquisition fee are all included. Think I got a great deal but not sure. Maybe dealer will stick it to me when I sign!!!
