#37 of 3148 2004 and 2002 Pricing by wsommariva Jun 11, 2004 (5:04 am)
We also have a 2002 and a 2004. The 2004 was indeed cheaper. Happy about that.   I have noticed that the 2004 doesn't shift as smoothly as the 2002. We have FWD. Do you notice a difference?   Also, did you get the no charge dash rattle option on your 2004?

#39 of 3148 Extended Warranty by blackandblue Jul 09, 2004 (8:01 am)
I was wondering what are some of the deals others have gotten on a extended warranty from Toyota.
#40 of 3148 help me buy my RAV by rav4sjvm Jul 11, 2004 (11:23 am)
I want to buy a RAV on-line, no test drive, sight unseen. I have never bought a car before. I wanted a really loaded 5spd RAV4 which doesn't seem to exist in my area so all the dealers want to sell me what they have and then finish it off post-factory; leather/heat seats, sun roof, alarm, hitch. I also have a three week time constraint which means no special order from Japan. One dealer is offering me a AWD L package at 22,600 another dealer offers it at 23,110. Seems that both are really high compared to what you folks are saying. How do I get them to get their prices down?? I am in the central Virginia area. Also what say you:is the platinum extended warranty a good idea and what about the 5yr prepaid maintenance.
#41 of 3148 Does this price seem fair for a demo car? by barbarabeth Aug 23, 2004 (7:40 am)
I want to buy a new RAV4 green w/taupe interior L package, automatic. Can't find one in RI or MA, but did in NH - a demo. MSRP is $24,687 - dealer is offering the car at $22,456 which is $50 less than invoice plus TDA ($300). The car has 4,773 miles on it - they will discount another 15 cents per mile for another $716 off. The total for the car would be $21,861 including the $125 admin/title fee. Is this a good deal? I ask because I see invoices online from other dealers at $22,072. Will they just add in the TDA once they get you to come in? Also not sure about the demo thing. Comments?
#42 of 3148 Demo Deal by blackandblue Aug 23, 2004 (8:04 am)
The .15 per mile seems low, try looking for another source for data. What does the IRS allow for tax purposes? As for the invoice, the actual from Toyota has the TDA $$ included and the dealer should let you see it. If not, walk.

Replying to: blackandblue (Aug 23, 2004 8:04 am) I think this is a very reasonable offer considering its the color scheme you want, 15cents per mile is very reasonable considering when you lease a vehicle the mfg charges the same for excess miles. This is a one of kind offer and someone will take advantage of it if you don't! Replies to this message: barbarabeth (Aug 23, 2004 10:21 am) bikeman3 (Aug 23, 2004 11:14 am)

Replying to: blackandblue (Aug 23, 2004 8:04 am) He did show me the dealer invoice which I thought was positive. I guess the 15 cents is based on the leasing overage.

Replying to: bikeman3 (Aug 23, 2004 8:27 am) That's a reasonable explanation. I did put a small deposit on the car ($100) until I can drive it - it hadn't been turned in yet.   Anything special I should be looking for on a demo car? Replies to this message: bikeman3 (Aug 23, 2004 11:14 am)

Replying to: barbarabeth (Aug 23, 2004 10:21 am) Most DEMO vehicles are used by company officials or salespeople for up to about 6000 miles if over 6K they are sold as new with high mileage , but this vehicle has less. So it seems like a good deal. Just make sure on delivery that everything is there such as floor mats and cargo net etc. If you finance you should qualify for the lowest apr for you credit score. My daughter just got A 04 RAV4 used with about 6000 miles on it and she loves it. It too was the color she wanted most.
