| Since its an average price paid, does it include tax and other fees paid ? | |
|
We were test driving a RAV4 08 22,000 miles. The salesman knew we were not buying today but had to write down a price on is card. Window said $19400 Toyota certified. He wrote down $18300 $19500 out the door. TMV with the same trim $20100 for certified. If I was serious and actually went in to buy I would like to think it would be even lower. Does the TMV include tax and fees if not why is it so high? I noticed this on another model as well? |

Replying to: bowler802 (Mar 16, 2009 4:21 pm) Ah,,,if you weren't serious why would any of this matter ? Of course, TMV values don't include tax and other fees. What exactly did you expect the price to be on a car you weren't even serious about?? Just curious...

Replying to: tmorr42 (Mar 16, 2009 6:09 pm) Really? How much do you think cars are marked up? An offer like that would mean you aren't a serious buyer. " NOTHING IS SELLING" Not true but things are definatly on the quiet side and until things perk back up(and they will) I agree, it is a great time to buy!

No guide, except Manheim online or Black Book(neither of which is available to consumers) can keep up with changing market conditions. It's like buying stock,but relying on a month old Wall St Journal for pricing.

Replying to: volvomax (Mar 19, 2009 7:51 am) I want to buy Microsoft stock and some "guide" that was printed a month ago tells me I should pay 25.00 a share. The guide MUST be right, right? Ah, but the stock is now 33.00 a share and I'm frustrated becasue I have to pay more. And if the stock went down to 20.00 a share then the "guide" misled me. This is reality folks, it is a fast changing moving target of a market. I guess everyone is just scared to death that they just might pay a few dollars more than someone else did! |
