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.
#47 of 3148 Do I go for the '04 Or Wait For '05 Rav? by daryll44 Aug 24, 2004 (4:45 pm)
OK, what should I do? They have an '04 RAV L that is pretty much exactly what I want. Sticker is about $25500 and, including the current $750 rebate it can be bot for $22500...3 grand off.   I plan to keep this for 4 years exactly. I looked at the the Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds sites and a 2000 RAV4 in good shape with 35,000 miles (about what I expect...it's a "second" car) is worth about $10700. A 2001 with the same miles is worth about $1000 more. In other words, if someone had done what I am doing 4 years ago, the one model year older vehicle with the same miles would be worth only a grand less.   So what it boils down to is this: Will an '05 (they say due in October but I'd bet sooner) be able to be bot for 2 grand off sticker? Paying more than that would point the equation in favor of the '04...at least financially. Getting a bigger discount than $2000 would point the equation in favor of getting the '05 since an '04 now goes for $3000 off sticker but is worth $1000 less at the other end.   What do you guys think?

Replying to: rav4driver (Jan 23, 2004 3:21 pm) I was at a Toyota dealer today and they would not show me the invoice price after requesting it. Can they do that? Does anyone know what invoive is on a RAV 4 L 4WD? price I got with Navigation is around 25000. Sound fair? Replies to this message: andil1 (Aug 25, 2004 3:47 am)

Replying to: dealhunter (Feb 29, 2004 12:28 am) I think Toyota has a 2% holdback off of the base MSRP of your vehicle. Replies to this message: carlover8 (Apr 13, 2006 7:18 pm) battina (Apr 13, 2006 9:52 pm) tinatina (Apr 14, 2006 4:46 am) carlover8 (Apr 14, 2006 9:06 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: stacy1 (Aug 24, 2004 11:43 pm) You can go to Edmunds pricing section, build your car the way you want it, put in your zipcode, and find out both the invoice price as well as what people are paying on the average. Click on the NEW CARS tab at the top of this page, then click PRICE W/OPTIONS, and you're on your way.   I'm not familiar with navigation being an option from the factory. Is it a dealer installed unit?
#52 of 3148 TDA by blackandblue Aug 25, 2004 (9:58 am)
Stands for Toyota Dealers Association and there is a line on the invoice for group advertising. For the RAV4 it's $440. If you calculate the actual invoice cost including all the options using Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book dot Com and then add the $440 that's been the dealers bottom line for the two RAV's we bought this year (about $2,000 off the sticker). There is also dealer hold back and on the RAV4 it is $414 according to Consumer Reports.

Toyota holdback is 2% of the base MSRP (except in the SET region, y'all).   Holdback   Steve, Host
