So far I saw it with a Jersey City dealer, and am going to check with a Manhattan dealer today. Was curious which dealer you got your car from, it certainly looks like a great price. I would try to get a quote from him too.
and the installed options?
Thanks!
I got a quote from a dealer on a 2009 (note: 2009, not 2010) RAV4 base V6 FWD
The dealer offered me $22,500 – $1,000 college graduate rebate = 21,500 plus TTL (Drive out 23,189)
Is this a good deal? Thanks!
2009 Toyota RAV4 Model - 4431 5-DOOR 4X2 SUV
MSRP: Base:$24,390; Installed Options:$1,637; Total:$26,027
Installed options total invoice price: $827
truecar.com factory invoice without installed options: $23,207 (if I add the $827 options then it will be $24,034)
Edmonds invoice with destination charge but without installed options: $22,803 (if I add the $827 options then it will be $23,630)
Why there is a ~$400 difference in the invoice price for this car without any installed options between truecar.com and Edmonds?

Hopefully, this info. will help you. By the way, the 0% will end on Jan. 4. Good luck everyone!
Thank you for sharing the info!
I went to Trucar.com and found for my particular model a FWD V-6 Limited with the options choosen:
TruCost Factory Invoice TruAverage Sticker Price
$28,160 $28,688 $29,253 $30,502
Is that about what you all are getting on your deals? i.e. $1,249 on average and a Great Price of about $2,342 off MSRP
It appears to me that there are no what I would call fantastic deals. With little off of MSRP.
It would nice to see what deals people were getting if we all spoke the same language about how much off MSRP did we get. Then it would be simpler for simple minded folks such as me to compare the deals gotten.
I bought the car from James Toyota in Flemington NJ. I recalled that I was quoted 27,250 initially. I checked back with the sales person in the following 3 weeks to find the car I want remains in their lot. That helped me to persuade the dealer to sell the car for 26,717.

What makes cases difficult to compare is that almost every car comes with some installed options that you cannot get rid of, and for some of those options, the invoice price is much lower than MSRP.
For example
P4 invoice 99/ MSRP 349
Vehicle Shield Package
-Lusterizing Sealant
-Sound Shield
-Sealant Cleaner
-Rental Car Assistance
So you might have to look at the details of other people’s buying experience to compare.
Like the car I mentioned, post 3176
It looks like I may be able to get $4527 off the MSRP for a RAV4 base V6 FWD
BUT, you have to know that
1. this is a 2009 instead of 2010 model and the dealer is trying to get rid of it
2. I can get $1000 college rebate
3. Many installed options on this car, the invoice price is much lower than the MSRP
So far I have not seen anyone’s comment on the price of this car yet and would certainly appreciate some advice.
I just checked their website and found
Champion Toyota has 35 RAV4 but 363 Camry
Charles Maund Toyota has 3 RAV4 but more than 100 Camry
Round Rock Toyota has 31 RAV4 but 295 Camry
I don't know whether it's because the RAV4s just sell very quickly in Austin or the dealers are not getting enough RAV4s. In either case, it becomes difficult to bargain with the dealers. Perhaps I am not good at negotiation so I am simply not getting similar low price that people at other states are posting here. I was talking to one of the dealer the other day and they told me that for a 2010 Base 2x4 V6 without installed options, they can only offer me $24000 and their invoice is about $23800. I told them that I am seeing an invoice price of $23000 on Edmund and $23300 on truecar, but they said those websites do not get all the information I don’t know what to say
I am looking for RAV4 Base V6 too and each dealer has only one or two and they usually come with some options that I donot need, like blue tooh cell phone or something
Do you have any luck so far?
Is this something you negotiated down?
Anybody had good luck with pricing in Southern California and what dealer?
My final price had the 499 D/H fee(Mountain States Toyota), I could have probably got a better price but I had already missed out on a Blk For Prl Rav4 and they weren't budging so I took the already decent price and ran with it. One thing that might help negotiating, the finance guy told me the dealership that sells the most vehicles was getting a trip to Cabo, not sure if thats still going though.
Take the 2007 model "as is" including all damage to hood/sides, etc. - no liability on my part.
2010 2.5L 4Cyl DOHC Dual VVT-i Engine, 4WD
Total MSRP: $24,194.00
Downpayment: $2500
Monthly payment: $353.18
Includes all taxes, title & fees; alarm, remote starter & gap insurance.
Compared to what I paid at same dealership in 2007 for my first lease:
2007 Toyota Rav4 Base model
Downpayment: $2199
Base model w/ installed sunroof, which I realized was worthless
Monthly payment: $347.50
Included all taxes, title & fees; alarm, remote starter & gap insurance.
Did I get a bad deal?
Compared to last lease I didn't think so but now I am seeing many posts with people putting nothing down and much lower downpayments. Not sure if geography or time of year has anything to do with it....but I'm starting to think I got screwed. (Again)
However they did say that they possibly could "tweak" one coming off the line to our specs. In which case it would be here in 5 weeks or so.
Further, from what we understand RAV4s are no longer being built in Japan but in Ontario, Canada.
Is that what you and others understand as to the build point for RAV4s? Of course, I am sure that the engines and transmissions still come from Japan.
We just hope that the quality that existed in building RAV4s in Japan carries over to Canada.
Quite a novice at carbuying so take my opinions lightly.
but when they told me in september that 2009 RAV4s can no longer be built to custom configuration, I believed them... since 2010 RAV4s were due release in Oct 2009. But to tell me that 2010 RAV4s could no longer be built to custom config, I'll call BS on that.
My understanding is.. whatever you can "BUILD" off toyota's website, is what you can order to be "built" to order from the factory. And I've had plenty dealers offer to "build" the 2010 RAV4 for me when they no longer had the 2009 RAV4 i wanted... But i couldnt wait 2 months.
I wonder if $19K is a good price for used 4cyl 4wd Base Rav4 with 3K miles. One owner. Is the original factory warranty transferable? Given the low miles, should I have it inspected? It drives great...
Thanks!
I am in IN. It seems to me that it is hard to lower the price here. Maybe it is easier in Chicago?
2009-2010 RAV4, Corolla, Matrix, 2005-2010 Avalon, certain 2007-2010 Camry, 2010 Highlander, 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia."
I just bought my RAV4, what the heck!
To my good fortune, the salesman was a jerk and I walked out. If Toyota handles this properly, in the long run it could work to their advantage but resolving their issues is very complex and could take quite a long time. Determining the problem, re-engineering and implementing on the production lines as well as fixing existing inventory is not going to be easy.
Next I went by another Dealer and the Salesman told me he could get one built to my specs. And I ordered one. Then he told me, as the first salesman had told me, I could not get one built. But, as with the other dealer, he told me I could get one tweaked coming off the line. Later he told me I couldn't do that either. But he would keep looking.
And still later the accelerator issue exploded. So I cancelled my order last week.
Now I understand that they have stopped Sales and Production in an attempt to resolve the acceleration issue. Let's hope they get to the bottom of this. I think it is good that Toyota finally owned up to the problem rather than trying to brush it under the carpet the last few years. After all "reliability" is what Toyota is based upon.
I once considered buying a RAV-4, but that swinging door, lesser warranty and inflexible higher price sent me elsewhere. I hope they learn from this and the consumer will benefit.
Best of luck to toyota on trying to fix this PR nightmare! :lemon:
Here's a list of some to start comparing with:

On a different note, in the short time I've had my Rav 4, I have noticed that many things are opposite what an American car is like. You don't give the stalk a quick push down for one sweep of the wipers, it's up. You don't pull the light stalk toward you for high beams, it's away. I guess it's a matter of getting used to it, but it feels weird. I live where we get a lot of snow and slush. If you have to brush snow off the windshield, you had better not brush it down toward the hood. If snow gets pushed under the lip of the hood, you'll block the washers, which are a BIG necessity in sloppy weather. I also think the heater could put out a little more heat than what I am getting. The CD player is the first I've ever been disappointed in. It has very bad/ tinny treble. I don't understand why the automatic transmission has 3 and D next to each other. I would have expected them to be separate in the line of choices. If you aren't watching for it, you'll tend to go into 3 and that ups the RPM's at speed and cuts fuel mileage.
