Replying to: myrav4toy (Feb 10, 2004 4:38 pm) I HAD A VERY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE TODAY AT BRONX TOYOTA. I AM ALSO SHOPPING FOR A RAV 4. I WENT TO THE DEALER LAST WEEK AND SAW THE RAV 4 THAT I WANT. IT IS THE 2004 AND IS THE BASE MODEL. BEFORE I MADE AN OFFER I RESEARCHED ON EDMUNDS.COM AND FOUND THAT THE INVOICE PRICE FOR THE 2005 MODEL IS 18,151.00. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER HE WANTED TO SELL ME THE 2004 RAV4 FOR 19500 WHICH HE CLAIMED WAS INVOICE PRICE. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS TOO MUCH AND SHOWED HIM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAD DONE. I QUESTIONED THE FACT THAT THE RESEARCH THAT I DID WAS ON THE 2005 AND THE INVOICE WAS CHEAPER ON THAT THAN ON THE DEAL HE WAS GIVING ME ON THE 2004. IT TURNED OUT THAT HE GOT SO FUSTRATED THAT HE BASICALLY TOLD ME TO GO FIND ANOTHER DEALER AND I LEFT. I TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT WANT TO PAY MORE THAN 300.00 A MTH WITH NO MONEY DOWN. HE SAID THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND THAT I HAD TO LOOK AT ANOTHER CAR. CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO FOR THE NEXT TIME.

The dealer should show you the invoice to back up his claim. If he will not show you you should walk.

Replying to: lizzie1 (Oct 19, 2004 5:26 pm) $300 a month is not impossible, but you must realize that this could stretch your payments to 6 or 7 years. Unless you plan to keep the vehicle til it's nearly paid off, that could put you in a bad situation.   I just used Edmunds.com's Loan Calculator, and input the invoice price of $18,151. I put $0 for the tax, and for 60 months, came up with $349/month. Even at a 0% financing rate, it's $307/month. At that price, there's no way to go below $300/month without extending financing out to at least 72 months.   kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host PS - if you turn off your CAPS LOCK when typing, your messages will be easier for us to read.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Oct 20, 2004 5:55 am) This forum makes me happy I don't sell cars for a living. $300 a month doesn't buy much anymore, perhaps a lease would help

Replying to: crh (Sep 11, 2004 4:36 am) I'm way too new at this. How do you buy on the internet? How long does that take? What else do I need to know to buy this way? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Dec 13, 2004 6:59 am)

#70 of 3148 2005 RAV4 AWD auto by abies Dec 13, 2004 (2:16 pm)
Actually, I tried to buy a CR-V. but it has engine fire problem. I've got a lot of help from the CR-V forum, so I post this info for the future buyer.   2005 RAV4 AWD auto. Options:FE,GY(Side airbags),CD,KE,SR(Sunroof) ,PG,AW(alloy wheels),RF,MA,SP(Sport Package),DK Mileage: 9 MSRP: 25,215 invoice: 23,077   paid: 22,177+100+tag+tax No incentive from the factory.   The dealer offered 4.3% APR with Gap, but I rejected it because they used a tricky loan calculator program. The monthly payment he showed was different from the amount I precalculated. When he used the back button, he showed what I expected. Why did he push the enter key one more? I could't believe them, so I brought the credit union check(3.9% APR) the next day.   I think July or August deal was better than this deal because there was $750 factory rebate at that time.   It was an internet deal and good experience.
