the V6 is terrific....I can't imagine being happy with the I4...and it really is not that much more money or more costly on gas. I don't think you can beat the RAV 4...for 2006. The HOnda quality is of course always terrific...if they come out with a V6 than you might have some competition...for the RAV....I am very happy with my RAV...but yes, see what the CRV has to offer. Actually ran into a lady..with a CRV 2006...she was not happy with the lack of power...outside of that fit and finish were fine.

Did anyone buy this and get invoice price? I myself have tried to contact dealer (mainly thru email), but none of them offer any good deal or close to invoice. Thanks

The V6 is by far so much quicker than the V4. I routinely cross over and merge onto very busy highway traffic and I would get smacked if I had a 4 cylinder because the V4 is a little slow to pick up speed when you need it. If you tool around town and never hit the highway, the gas mileage on the V6 is pretty good anyway----get the V6, you will be grateful you did.

"I was actually given for $800 less than Invoice"
 
OUTSTANDING!!!! I'll reiterate that no one should be paying invoice or above for the 2006 models. If your dealer refuses to negotiate lower, I'd wait for the 2007s.

King Toyota Deerfield...the nightmare continues... by jimdrew

after two month's I finally get a call from King Toyota Deerfield, Fl about my deal. This is the Customer Care folks...again, after at least two months. Again I told them that the finance guy said that he would sell me the RAV4 at cost but I could not use the computer to check Edmunds web site to check. I said, are you sure and when I go home will it match what Edmunds says...he said yes...it would. Well I go home and sure enough...King's price is $1000.00 more. Wow, lied to again. The Customer Care guy says well that finance manager is no longer with..us. So, I guess that was their solution???? How does that make things right? Wow, I finally did get my extended warranty and maint contract refunded..still waiting on the GAP insurance to be sent back to me. (I paid off the loan) It is hard for me to believe that King Toyota actually feels they soved the problem by the guy leaving. The RAV4 is great but the dealership is a .

I live in a small town in Oregon and we only have one Toyota dealer. They have one RAV4 on the lot but not the one I am interested in. I have checked the inventories online for other dealers in the state but still can't find what I am looking for. I even checked the inventory at Fitzgerald Auto Mall in the Washington D.C. area. They have nearly 30 RAV4s in inventory but only a couple of the Limited model. Does anyone know how dealers access all those cars sitting in those huge parking lots at the port of entry? Can a dealer like Fitzgerald select from what is sitting at the dock or do they just have to take what they are given and then swap with other dealers when they need to? Does Fitzgerald even swap with other dealers or do you have to select from their inventory? Seems like there would be a lot of Toyota dealers in their area so I am thinking I need to be looking at a large dealer in an area with a lot of other dealers if I expect to get something close to what I want. Any thoughts?

Well you can email Fitmall and talk to them or call them. They are very responsive. They cannot just take a car off the pier but they can trade with dealers or get a car allocated to them. Tell them what you want. The limited is a small part of production, especailly the v6 but you can find them. They are in NY. Or if you do not need it right away, get your dealer to put you in the lineup for a 2007, they are only 2 months away I think. Don't panic and pay MSRP!
Other good dealers in east:carmax,lustine and darcar.
 
Also, go to the Toyota site and do a build and buy using zip 34423. You can see all the RAV4s in or coming in to the southeast region on that site. Usually it ranges from 550 to 1200 cars. They are a little more expensive but have cars. Actually I bet you can find one in CA area if you take your time and email lots of dealers. You can find them all on the Toyota site for various zip codes.
 
Good luck
