Replying to: nlauren (Nov 03, 2009 7:17 pm) OTD price is meaningless to others unless you detail the other costs, like tax, title, dealer charged fees, etc. Since I have bought cars (last one, a 07' Lexus) in NJ before, I can make a rough estimate on the deal you got. After 7% tax and options, the deal you got is a decent one, although not a steal (but who has a steal?). In general, car prices in NJ are lower than those at most mid-Atlantic and New England states. |

Hi all: I am hoping to purchase Rav4 Limited V6 with QY package, Backview mirror, tow package... (FE BC PC QY TO) The port installed options include - CF BM MF (carpet mats, body molding, mudgaurd) Questions: 1. What does "port installed" mean? Is this something the dealer installs? 2. The price I am quoted is $29300, while MSRP comes to $31,442. Is this a good price? 3. What does "dealer holdback" price mean, its something like $500, is this something the dealer can potentially pass onto me? 4. How much can the dealer afford to give below invoice price? I am guessing he gets the car below invoice or there are some incentives he gets... Your answers would be very helpful. Thanks, -nikki

Replying to: nikkiroy (Nov 06, 2009 7:55 pm) 2. Your price is $2100 off MSRP and a pretty good deal. Not many will get a better price. 3. Dealer holdback is money heldback by Toyota but eventually given the dealer when the car is sold. $500 is in the ballpark. A dealer can potentiallly pass it to you but I have never known a dealer who even wants to talk about it, much less pass it on. 4. There is no answer to this question because it varies from dealer to dealer. It is also affected by a lot of different factors that frequently change. One example is when a dealer meets its quota, there may be some incentive from the factory. If a dealer has a monthly quota of 20 vehicles and the factory tells him he will get an extra $100 for each of the vehicles he sells during the month if he meets his quota, he might cut you a very nice deal if it is the last day of the month and he just needs to sell one more car to meet his quota. He could even sell the car to you for a loss just so he can collect the $2000 incentive from the factory. If he is not close to his quota, he just might try to get as much from you as he can not really caring a lot whether or not he sells you a vehicle. If it is a large dealer with a 100 car quota, he may be looking at getting an extra $10,000 for meeting his quota so he has a good reason to make you a better deal just to get the sale. |

Live in Central Jersey and just bought the above with QY, CF, MF, and WL. Car price is 26717 (msrp 28539) plus 1870 sales tax, 299 doc fees, and 409 license plate, registration, title, etc. I visited three dealerships over 4 weeks periods to seal the deal. I believe I got a good bargain and would like to thank those who had given the advice. |
