DVD, normally the dealers will ADD (not replace) to the car so that means the dvd player will be placed under a seat so it makes it difficult to change the movie on the fly. So my suggestion is either get it straight from the plant (if you can find one) or get it as a third party like Best Buy. In addition, since the Rav is a small car and I think the LTD comes with a sunroof you may not have enough room to put it over head which means you would need those systems where the screen is in the headrest. What we did with our Highlander is buy one of those with the double screens and you attach it to the headrest. Our Ody came from the plant with the DVD that we play movies and change movies smoothly. Remote start, our dealer wanted $700 which I thought is BS. Do your research on this because you have to decide if you want one with or without an alarm. Also you will have to decide how important is the distance. With our Highlander we paid for an alarm with remote for $500, however with our Ody since it already had an alarm, I opted to get the model with just the remote start but with a distance of a mlle. So we had some trade offs. Hood Paint - Forget it- it's called ZAINO baby. To me, it is the gift from the DEVIL. Hope this helps - and when you meet the devil for Zaino, tell him I said hi

Replying to: cyho (Nov 15, 2009 1:30 pm) at which dealer in N.Cal did you buy your RAV4? did you by any chance get a quote on a 2010 RAV4 FWD base without the 3rd row? Thanks!

Replying to: lrm2009 (Nov 22, 2009 6:07 pm) If just want a base model, try talking to Napa Toyota. He quoted me $400 lower than what I bought mine for but after a month of trying to trade me one, he gave up (since the 3rd row option is rare.) Either case, ask for Internet Sales if you call. Good luck |

I have been using this board for my 'silent' research but figured I should share my buying experience. Just bought a 2010 Rav4 V6 Sport 4WD last friday. Paid 27700+TTL. I live in Illinois and had the COOK county taxes (8%) and the mysterious Doc fee for 150 bucks. I used truecar.com as my guide mostly and this was 100 bucks below their factory invoice price and within their 'great price' range which starts at approx 28700. Got the following: Sport Extra Value Package Sport Appearance Package (run flat tires and the rear tire goes away) Rearview Parking Display For Sport Appearance Package (nice touch) Dark Charcoal, Cloth Seat Trim Classic Silver Metallic Auto On/Off Headlamps Tonneau Cover W/Cargo Net Blu Logic Hands Free Phone System (aftermarket included in cost above approx 350) 5-Piece Carpet Floor & Cargo Mats Remote Start (aftermarket audiovox included in cost above about 400)

Replying to: fated3 (Nov 24, 2009 8:51 am) Remote Start – According to Toyota’s site it is $529, but if you say it is an aftermarket from your dealership same goes as above. Rearview Parking Display – I believe this is what they are calling an “Integrated Back Up Camera”, not the type that actually turns a dvd screen or your Navi screen to the view from the back. It isn’t on the Toyota’s site so I would have to assume that it is also an aftermarket. Your car minus the aftermarket items should be 2010 Rav3 V6 AWD SAP, SVP, Tow Prep (These 3 seem to be std. options from Toyota) Auto Headlamps, cargo cover, Mats If we took off all three above “aftermarket” my calculations show that your market price should be around $28,160. The fact that you paid $27,700 for this configured car, PLUS all the aftermarket stuff, I would say you got a great deal. |

I am being quoted $25,743 +TTL in Southern Cal with the following options on a limited. Is this a good price or being taken for a ride as I am from Arkansas and have to drive it down here as there are no 3rd row option in the Gulf states. We intend using the 3rd row only occassionally. Any thoughts? DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (RL) FABRIC TRIMMED 50/50 SPLIT 3RD ROW SEAT (TH) JBL PREMIUM AM/FM STEREO 6-DISC IN-DASH CHANGER (EJ) PWR FRONT SEAT PKG (PE) PWR MOONROOF W/SUNSHADE (SR) REARVIEW PARKING DISPLAY (BC) Thank you |

Replying to: gorgekiter (Oct 10, 2009 3:55 pm) I hope you cane read the message. Does $24,412 include TTL and document fee? Could you please give me more information on your pricing and options? If I buy the car from the same dealer, I will refer your name. Thanks so much! |
