#337 of 404 Re: I have question about price [getmeanewcar] by karlytr Dec 10, 2007 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: getmeanewcar (Dec 09, 2007 10:41 am) It seems that each dealership adds its own items to the new vehicles, in order to bump up the sticker price (which = greater profits). I just purchased a leftover 4-cyl. 2007 ltd, fully loaded (leather heated seats and all) for $25,600. I think it's possible to get better deals on the '07's, because the dealers are desperate to get rid of them. Mine has the 6-cd changer, is satellite 'ready' and has the bluetooth on the steering wheel. I'm not sure what else the '08's would have. Effective strategies would be to know that Toyota Rav4's for the '07 model year have a 2% dealer holdback, off the base MSRP. Also, know the dealer invoice price (it can be ordered online), or ask the dealer to see it. There is often lots of extra money that is paid to the dealer from the factory, after the sale of the vehicle. I got mine for about $3800 under MSRP (off of $29,467), and over a thousand under dealer invoice. However, I was unrelenting in my approach to negotiating. Oh... and NEVER EVER mention you want to trade your current vehicle (if in fact you do), until you negotiate the price on the new vehicle. If they ask you if you plan on trading, just say, "I doubt it," or "I don't know, so let's keep that out of the deal."   Good luck to you!

#342 of 404 Re: MP3 Jack???????????/ [albo1278] by julieo1 Dec 17, 2007 (12:56 pm)
Replying to: albo1278 (Feb 18, 2007 10:23 am) I have just read your question about the MP3 Jack in the RAV4... Can you tell me now since you have had it for a while, have you run into the problem of the power supply to your MP3 causing static/noise sounds thru the speakers? And if so, what was your solution to this problem? Was your dealership of any assistance in this matter? My dealership acts like they have never heard of an MP3 player. They did not even know where the MP3 Jack was in my 2007 RAV 4 when I could not find it myself.. Thanks Julie Replies to this message: cbmorton (Dec 17, 2007 2:02 pm) julieo1 (Jan 01, 2008 9:50 am)

Replying to: julieo1 (Dec 17, 2007 12:56 pm) That one also might be covered by a service bulletin. Ask your dealer about TSB # AU004-07. Here's the description of the problem that the TSB is meant to address:   Some customers may notice noise in the auxiliary mode of the radio when using an MP3 player or other external audio source connected to the 12V power port of the vehicle. An improved auxiliary port and in-line filter has been developed to improve this condition. Replies to this message: julieo1 (Jan 01, 2008 9:50 am)

Replying to: cbmorton (Dec 17, 2007 2:02 pm) Thanks for that bit of information. When I called the dealership (parts dept) they acted like this was my problem....i.e. they don't sell MP3 devices and IPods (which is what I have) and that I needed to find the answer to this screeching noise coming from my speakers whenever I use the power supply that plugs into the outlet inside the console instead of just letting my IPod run on its own battery supply. This is the answer I get, despite my RAV4 has less than 5K miles on it.   I will be at the customer service manager's office in the next two days about this problem. thanks again, Happy New Year.. Julie
#345 of 404 Braking- Grinding Sound. by lovembad Jan 03, 2008 (7:59 am)
I have this Grinding Sound coming from my 2007 RAV4. At first I thought this was because the weather is cold the brakes need warming up. This is ongoing now for about 4 days. I took my vehicle in for servicing just over 3 weeks. This is my first New Car so my question to you is, will I be charged if this problem turn out to be a broken Axle or is this covered under the Warranty. Thanks
#346 of 404 Check engine light coming on by kst1 Jan 11, 2008 (6:29 pm)
I have a 07 2WD 4-cylinder RAV4. On my way back from work, my instrument panel lit up for a couple of seconds. The engine malfunction, VSC, airbag lights stayed on. I shut off the RAV when I reached home and started it but those light stayed on. Called the local Toyota dealer and the service manager said that it could be as simple as a loose gas tank cap. Incidentally I did put in gas this morning. He said that after tightening the cap, the lights will go off after a few trips. Has anyone experienced this before? I might still take the RAV in for them to take a look at. Replies to this message: kst1 (Jan 13, 2008 4:09 pm)
