Hiya everybody, I am searching for a '06 RAV4 and have been checking out the forums to hear mostly positive owner experience w/ the new model  I wanted to gauge my price quote offers w/ you guys to see if I am getting something fair. South Florida's a pretty hot market but there are also plenty of Toyota dealerships in the area. I requested a RAV 4 (Basic model/V4) in White/Silver (w/ no extra options) Headquarter Toyota dealership offered $21,168 for a basic model equipped: 6 CD Changer Roof rails/Crossbars Daytime running lights Tounneau Cover I'm not interested in the 6CD changer or the crossbars or the cover. The dealer priced the options at MSRP. I checked Edmunds.com and a similarly equipped RAV4 is priced at $20,861. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Kendall Toyota dealership offered internet pricing of 2% over invoice for any RAV4 model they had in stock (oddly, they didnt tell me whether they had the model I was looking for in their lot) According to Edmunds.com, a similar RAV 4 (like the one above) goes at invoice for $19,821 TMV. Tack on 2% on to that = $20,217.42 But the Big If with this dealership is whether they have an entry-level RAV4 not loaded w/ options...the internet salesguy also said they wouldn't budge from this pricing scheme (but who knows?) I am wondering what my next step should be. Can I renegotiate w/ these internet sales guys? Email them the Edmunds.com pricing for my area? Plus insist not paying MSRP for option packages? How does this work after getting these price quotes? Any insight would be helpful! Especially any comments from South Florida buyers.

Replying to: rdbakerdvm (Apr 26, 2006 3:57 pm) Window Sticker 2006 V6 4wd LTD: MSRP: 25,870 FE: 0 GY(Side airbags etc): 650 RL(Daytime running lights): 40 SR(Moonroof): 900 EJ(JBL): 340 TO(Towing prep package): 160 C4(Carpet Mats): 119 Delivery etc: 605 TOTAL 28,684 Amount paid including all: 27,117 (everything Tax title and Doc fees.)   I know I got an awesome deal, and the people at the dealership were amazing...I think that I was in the right place at the right time, it was the middle of the week, looked like a slow day, and the delivery truck was unloading. I had my TMV from Edmunds, and negotiated like a pro...even got the first oil change free.

| This is my buying experience so far- After looking at every small suv on the market I made the decision to buy the Rav4 v6 limited. The local Toyota dealership in Naples, Fl called me and I made a appt. to drive one in Feb. I arrived on time for the appt. but the salesman dumped me for another couple who had missed their appt. two hours earlier. They had the car sitting in front of the dealership and said they could not find the keys. Several people were waiting in line to drive it so we left. I went to the dealership at the end of April and drove a v6 and really loved it, only I would rather have a limited. When we sat down and tried to make a deal, they tried and tried to talk me out of that car as they have none in stock. They also would not even look at my trade in - they wanted me to put $1000 down and said my trade in would be worth what they could get for it on the day my car came in. They were really rude and their was no getting the price below $28,000. We left and went to the Ft Myers dealership where they were really accomadating and friendly only they had no Rav 4 v6 limiteds. We were tempted by the Highlander and drove one, but I prevailed and put in a order for a Rav4. They did look at my trade-in and gave me a fair price for my gas gussling limited ford explorer. There was no haggling on the price of the car for a v6 limited with options they were just under the $28,000 from the first dealership. A few days later the salesman called me and said they had a car exactly like I wanted lined up but it had been sold at another dealership. He said 10 ravs would be put into the this area in May. Now I am wondering if I will ever get a car and is it worth the wait? I don't understand how all of you can get such good deals when there are no cars even available. The first dealership had a $3000 area charge and the second one had a $1500 charge added to the price of the cars. I am paying $2000 over the MSRP listed by Edmunds. Any thoughts appreciated. | |

Replying to: scottyg1234 (Apr 26, 2006 6:22 pm) It is much below the invoice. I got the same ( Minus the JBL) and paid $1200 over what you paid..! I had searched the internet and edmunds and I had gotten the deal at $490 over invoice...I am just wondering about your deal since the invoice itself would be over or almost 26K. I negotiated at 26K+ paid about 2200 In taxes and fees ( 8.75% tax). Where are you located?
