RAV4 V6 FWD by newbeee

Please help.
I have an offer of $27,694 + TTLD on a rav4 V6 Limited 4x2 with QY, BC, FE, TO, P4, CF, SF, MF...Black Forest Pearl w/ Bisque interior. I won't be able to get the car until the end of the month. Dealership says if the incentive went up, he will subtract the difference in the incentives from the offer. Does this sound like a good deal? Thanks!!!

Newbeee,
 
What is MSRP for this car. What is dealer invoice (if you know)? without looking at those numbers this deal looks good. But I would say give us those numbers and you will get more accurate response.
Also, I am assuming rebate is included in this price.

Thanks funguy123!
 
I don't have the MRSP for this car because it's still being "assembly" at the main distributor (according to the salesman). But I went online and added up the costs:
 
4x2 V6 Limited: $27,265 (already included destination charge)
BC $475
QY $1,360
TO $160
CF $199
P4 $349
SF $75
MF $99
Total: $29,982 --> MSRP
 
Toyota is currently giving a $2,000 Extra Value Options Package discount. Plus the incentive rebate. So, I'm guessing the dealership would still make a good amount of profit out of the offered price as well. Will this be a good deal or could I negotiate it better?

I think you should be able to do better. If you look at the fitzmall prices, they are usually $3k less then MSRP (including rebate etc..). I am assuming you have $500 rebate and you are not taking the rebate instead of 3.9%. So I would say somewhere around 27K would be a good deal.
But This is very by region, I am not sure which region you are in and how many dealers are around but I would say ~$3K under MSRP is a good deal. Now, if you really like the car, you may take $2.5k under MSRP.
 
Hopefully this will help.

RAV4 in the Bay Area by gerri1

I am in the market for a 2009 RAV4 and here is a quote I received from a dealership in the Bay area:
***********************************
2009 Toyota Rav4 4WD Ltd V6 in Black/Ash interior (model 4453)
 
Black/Ash Leather
 
FE - Emission
BC - Integrated Back Up Camera
QZ - Extra Value Package included Navigation, Moonroof, JBL Stereo
TO - Towing Prep Package
CF - Carpet Floor Mats/Cargo Mat
DK - Preferred Owner's Portfolio
MSRP - $31554.00
Dealer Invoice - 29,426.00
VIP Sale Price - $29,926.00
There is a cash incentive of $1,000.00 for the Rav4 which ends May 4th, 2009.
*************************************
I've asked why this 'incentive' suddenly ends tomorrow and awaiting a reply. Question is if this is a good deal or not? I think the OTD purchase price should be no more than $28,500 based upon what I am seeing. What do you think?

TDA is short for Toyota Dealer Advertising a fee that Toyota adds to the invoice price.

Negotiating Accessories by fitmiss

I am picking up a new RAV4 in a few days. I added:
 
Body Side Molding
Mats
Cargo Tray
Wheel Locks
Mud Guards
 
All is well except the dealer doesn't want to give me the cargo mat since I am getting the Cargo Tray. I thought it was a 5 piece set. Even though I'll have the tray, it sort of bothers me that I won't have the cargo mat as well to match the others.
 
What do you all think? Can I buy the cargo mat separately to match the other 4 pieces? If so, where and how much do you think it would cost? Maybe I should take the mat and buy the cargo tray myself?
 
Thanks for your opinion.

Thanks funguy123!
 
I have already put down a deposit for the car. For $300 more, I get a Remote Start, cargo net (not the same one as it comes with the car), and the 5000miles maintenance service for free. It came out to be $28k even.
I finally agreed to that price because there are only 3 dealers in my metro area, and 2 of them have managers who came out and told me off immediately when I offered $27.5k. Also, I'm getting the color I want with only options that I wanted instead of all the added stuffs I don't care for.
Overall, I know 28k is not be the best price out there but I'm very happy with the decision since a month from now, I get to drive a brand new car instead of continue to drive the old car until a "great deal" comes along.
