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.

Replying to: abies (Dec 13, 2004 2:16 pm) Hi Abies-   Your Dec04 purchase is *exactly* the car I need, and your deal was great.   Probably you already know, but finding side airbags on RAV4 is such a problem.   Did you start with Internet site, if so which one? Which dealer did you end up with? I will fly there and drive it back   Thanks for your advice.   -Jeff Replies to this message: abies (Apr 07, 2005 12:36 pm) mkosover (May 16, 2005 9:05 am)
#75 of 3148 I want a RAV4 by asdumbasjess Mar 27, 2005 (8:03 pm)
I am buying a car for the first time without my parents holding my hand. I have been drooling over the RAV4 for over a year now. I test drove a RAV and a CRV.... Being that I am 24 and in my last two years of college, I am looking at leasing an SUV for 2-3 years until I get a real job and intend of buying the truck off. Can anyone give me any advice or opinions on the RAV and any other comparable SUV's? Thanks! Mylissa Replies to this message: bikeman3 (Mar 31, 2005 4:46 pm)
#76 of 3148 Crazy Invoice Add-ons by jarmaster Mar 31, 2005 (4:23 pm)
I don't know what things are like for the rest of y'all, but "everything's bigger in Texas" sure applies to their inflated invoice prices.   For example, on edmunds, run a RAV4 with rear privacy windows and side curtain airbags, and the invoice price is $19,733.   Ask a Texas Toyota dealer, and they say it's $20,402 (at least).   Dealing over the phone, I asked him to itemize the invoice, and he gave me fees like:   port option, 287 tx dealer association fees - $230 manufacturer association fund, $281 2% hold back, $392 port and installation option holdback - $26 finance reserve - $196   Same in person, they said invoice was $20,610.   TMV shows $20,488 average in my zip code (76706).   I haven't seen anything like this anywhere. Honda showed me their invoice, and it was exactly as Edmund's said.   Thoughts...experiences?   Thanks, Chris P. Jones christopherpatrickmac.com

Replying to: asdumbasjess (Mar 27, 2005 8:03 pm) Mylissa, good choice on RAV 4 my daughter got one last year, has had no problems at all and loves it. My advice is to try and buy it rather than leasing it because in 3 years you will owe more tahn if you financed it. Toyota and the Rav4 will easily last 7-8 years and youll get your money out of it. See if you can find a used 04 model (its the same as 05) and youll save some dough. Also pay attention to the finance rates used vs new and get several quotes from dealers in your area. I dont know where you live, but you dont necessarily need all wheel drive. I drive an 03 Highlander in PA with Front wheeel drive and have had very little difficulty in the winter months... Good luck with your decision this forum will help you a great deal..
#78 of 3148 need to find best deal in orlando or louisville by heyunclej Apr 01, 2005 (1:23 pm)
hey there. i'm looking for a 2005 awd Rav4, with L package, mud flaps, roof rack, automatic, not sure what color yet. I live in Louisville, KY but have some strong ties down in Orlando FL. A couple of days ago, I got a quote from 'a friend' that works at a dealership in Orlando FL. Her pricing was as follows...MSRP $23,980...will sell to me for $22,000---which is $108 over their invoice of $21,891, then minus the $500 rebate.....out the door pricing, tax tags etc.....$22,400. I'm new to this, so i need help. I would like to pay at invoice or under if possible...i want to pay no more than $21,000 out the door. Am i just dreaming, or is this possible for me to achieve. I was looking at the Hyundai Tucson's, but i've seen a lot of negative feedback on them, and now i definitely want to go with the Toyota Rav4---I just need to find that deal.   thanks!
