RAV4 security alarm by ecarbuyer123

Did anyone purchase security alarm as an option on RAV4? If so, how much did you pay for it? I'm shopping for a RAV4 I4 base model with value package, and can't find any already installed with security alarm? The dealer told me their customers are not interested in buying things like security alarm, mudguards, etc.

When I was leasing my RAV4 in April, the dealer offered me the alarm for $23 a month for 36 months. If you do the math, that's $828. I thought that it was high, but he said that they go for about $700 but a little more if you want to spread it over the lease period. I didn't get it. I just got the gap coverage in case it gets stolen for $7/month.

I am from Rochester, NY. I am interested in buying a new Rav4 4-cylinder 4x4 with the extra value package (daytime running light, tinted windows, 17 inch wheels, roof rack). Does anybody have an idea on what i should pay for this. Has anybody bought a car similar to this and got it for a good price? thanks for the help.

$22k even. However the this dealer has a special on one similarly equipped blue one for $21.3k.
 
I've bought 2 cars at this Boston area dealer. No real haggle on price, and they gave me decent value for my trade. (A 10 year old VW). I might have been able to do better on price, but the trade value I was given was $500 better than elsewhere, and I was not seeing $500 better prices.
 
Hit up the BDC's (internet department) at the local dealers. Boston has a lot of Toyota dealers so they compete aggressively against each other. Dunno about Rochester as it's a much smaller city.
 
I've found that some dealers will give price over the phone or email, some won't. If you won't give me a price over the phone, I'm not coming in. For me that simple, I got minorly burned (time only) with another dealer locally on a Highlander before buying the RAV.
 
My dealership is not the closest to my house but it's less than 20 minutes away. the closest is literally 5.
 
I'm not interested n the art of negotiating. I just want to buy a car at a good out the door price.
 
Our rav (had it for a week) is a base 4x4 with the EVP and floor mats. Sticker was $24019.
 
Hope this helps.
 
You can always go to www.fitzmall.com and check their prices for 'fair value' on a new Toyota. Make sure equipment is identical as different regions get differing equipment. My mom lives in Kentucky and they don't see many 4x4 RAVs. However we don;t see many 4x2's here in the Northeast.

Veronica, I would walk away from that deal. I have just started searching for a similarly equipped RAV4, either Sport or LTD and either 4 cyl. or 6, I really don't care as long as it has the moonroof and leather. Granted, I have only looked at websites, but it seems that the 4 cyl. should be well under 27K, while the 6 is around 28K. This is for Long Island, NY and there are at least 4 Toyota dealers within 30 mnutes of me.
 
I would shop other dealers and try to get prices on line from their Internet Sales dept. Another tactic is to call and see if the dealership has a Fleet Manager. Call the fleet manager and tell them you want to fax over a bid sheet. Type up a sheet stating what you want, make, model, options. Give them a day or two and then call back and ask them to fax you their best price.
 
One thing I have seen dealers do, in regards to warranty work only, is to make you wait for work on your car if you didn't purchase it there. You have to get in line for repairs and wait until they finish all warranty work on cars sold by them. This was at a Pontiac/GMC dealer where I saw this sign in the service department. I believe the manufacturer pays them much less per hour for labor than a customer.

An aftermarket alarm from a stereo/alarm store sholdn't cost more than $250 installed, unless you are looking for some type of upscale brand with more features.
