Hey puneecar, I am not very familiar with truecar.com but I just did a comparison between truecar and edmunds. I priced out identically optioned Rav4 Ltd and got the same MSRP from true car and edmunds but true car showed the invoice to be $594 higher than edmunds showed. Do you know why that is? I just checked some Fitzmall prices too and they seem to line up with truecar's higher invoice price. Wonder what the difference is.

Price paid for 2010 RAV4, basic, FWD, 4cyl by largee2007

I just bought a 2010 Basic RAV4, FWD, 4 cyl, with extra value package and floor mats
 
I got an internet price quote by a Toyota dealer at NC research triangle area.
  $20,286, plus
 dealer fees $499,
  tags and inspection $147,
  tax (3%) $608
  Net out-the-door=$21,541. This is cash price, cannot be combined
  with the promotional financing by Toyota.
 
To qualify for "college graduate $1,000 rebate" I have to finance the car. So, we worked out the following deal that I accepted.
Net OTD=$21,483, with 0% 36-month financing (financing amount=$21,483) and I signed over the $1,000 rebate to dealer as down pay. Alternatively, I think I probably can finance $22,483 and pocket the $1,000 rebate.

Since you have already got the car, the fairness of the price is a moot issue unless you can renegotiate the price.
 
OTD price is meaningless to others unless you detail the other costs, like tax, title, dealer charged fees, etc. Since I have bought cars (last one, a 07' Lexus) in NJ before, I can make a rough estimate on the deal you got. After 7% tax and options, the deal you got is a decent one, although not a steal (but who has a steal?). In general, car prices in NJ are lower than those at most mid-Atlantic and New England states.

My dealer is telling me I can't get QY and TH. They say Toyota won't make heated leather seats in the QY along with a third-row seat. Can only get factory fabric seats with third-row option. I see your post was in Jan '09, so maybe things have changed. Are your first two rows leather?

Not that I've heard only incentives I've seen are 0% for 36 months, 2.9 for 48 months, and 3.9 % for 60 months.

Can someone help me with my Rav4 Limited V6? by nikkiroy
Nov 06, 2009 (7:55 pm)

Hi all:
 
I am hoping to purchase Rav4 Limited V6 with QY package, Backview mirror, tow package... (FE BC PC QY TO)
 
The port installed options include - CF BM MF (carpet mats, body molding, mudgaurd)
 
Questions:
1. What does "port installed" mean? Is this something the dealer installs?
2. The price I am quoted is $29300, while MSRP comes to $31,442. Is this a good price?
 
3. What does "dealer holdback" price mean, its something like $500, is this something the dealer can potentially pass onto me?
4. How much can the dealer afford to give below invoice price? I am guessing he gets the car below invoice or there are some incentives he gets...
 
Your answers would be very helpful.
 
Thanks,
-nikki

1) Port-installed.. Options installed by the distributor at port... They can add them to the Monroney sticker, usually.
