I have read that some people are getting their RAV4 for $400 or $500 'above invoice'. What invoice price are they referring to? The Edmunds 'invoice' is about $600 less than the 'invoice' price the dealer gave me.

Dealership: Haley Toyota of Midlothian, Virginia Date visited: July 30, 2006 --- Car Found: 2006 Toyota RAV4 Base 4x4 V6, Pacific Blue. Factory Options: FE CD DR AW GY RL TO Port Options: DK Z1 MSRP: $26,282 on dealer's "inventory detail" report; advertised on AutoTrader as $26,877. RAV4 Negotiated Price: $24,000 --- Traded in: 1997 Chrysler Town and Country LX w/120K miles. Trade in appraised for: $2,400 --- Price w/o TTT+P: $21,600 TTT: 813.50 Processing: 198.00 --- Grand Total: $22,611.50 Background Info: No factory rebates on '06 RAV4 as of July or August 2006. No idea as to holdbacks. Edmunds quoted a TMV of ~$24,800 for the RAV4 before the port and dealer options. Some '97 T&Cs go on eBay for ~$4,800. But ours was a base model with rear AC, dual climate control, roof rack and privacy glass. Conservative TMV of ~$1,600; CarMax appraised it at $2,000. Did we get a good deal? At least, based on where we live (DC/Richmond/Hampton Roads area)?

Interestingly, the car we bought on Sunday was apparently sold on Saturday; the dealer exchange coordinator was off over the weekend and hadn't updated the database. We're supposed to take delivery of the sold car's identical twin on Thursday. |

I have asked for 2 dealers to send me a quote on a RAV4 Limited V6. I got invoice price from edmunds $24,803. TMV for my area (Minnesota) is $26,217. They both sent pretty much the same internet price($15 difference) of $27,200. I asked for $26,200 and neither one of them sound like they are willing to go down. I have asked for them to tell me their invoice price and am still waiting for that answer. Was my price way out of line? I'm not sure of my next move. I'm new at this car buying business! Lots of people talk about getting price of just a few hundred over invoice. Any advice would be VERY welcome
