Just ordered a base AWD with Everglade Mettalic
- 3rd row seating
- Side air bags
- roof rack
- daytime lights
- floor mats
- Mud flaps
the price is 22,838...it is about $500 more than the Edmunds invoice price..I'll get it in 2 weeks. This was the only dealer in the Minneapolis region that had a 3rd row seating
Was yours a V-6? We are in SD, but have to come over to Mpls to get these vehicles with 3rd row seats.
The dealership is Tricounty Toyota.
I dealt directly with internet sales dept.
It has these options: DR, CD, AM/FM/MP3/no CD changer, V5, MF, AW 17", GY, CF, Toyota standard warranty, Toyota Premium prepaid maintenance (4 yr, 55k mi). It also has installed Leather seats, and front heated seats aftermarket installation by dealer.
What do you think? Should I go ahead for this offer? I am in Seattle area, Rodland Toyota in Everett is the dealer.

Options: CD, CF, DJ, FE, GY, RL, SR
Does it sounds reasonable to you? Should I go ahead for it?
I'm about to purchase a Rav4. Can you recommend a good dealer in the NYC/Long Island area? I understand that they vary greatly in terms of honesty and professionalism.
Thanks,
Rob
I got my RAV4 4wd V6 LTD from Neil Toyota in Lynbrook. I was in and out with my new car in 2 hours (It had just been delivered and I was there at the right time). They were extremely professional and had good knowledge of the vehicle. I am probably going back there this week to get my wife the V6 XLE camry...
RAV4 V6 Base 4WD, Everlade metallic, 3rd row seats, Roof rack, Side Airbags, Towing Package, 17" Steel Wheels. MSRP 26,250. WE got it for $24,497. But it is quite a trek for us to drive over to Twin Cities. They have a $50 doc fee. So, finding a similar unit (Silver, not green and had alloy wheels) closer, to us, we are letting the vehicle go up in Burnsville, so somebody will get a good deal up there if they act fast!
I am searching for a '06 RAV4 and have been checking out the forums to hear mostly positive owner experience w/ the new model
I wanted to gauge my price quote offers w/ you guys to see if I am getting something fair. South Florida's a pretty hot market but there are also plenty of Toyota dealerships in the area.
I requested a RAV 4 (Basic model/V4) in White/Silver (w/ no extra options)
Headquarter Toyota dealership offered $21,168 for a basic model equipped:
6 CD Changer
Roof rails/Crossbars
Daytime running lights
Tounneau Cover
I'm not interested in the 6CD changer or the crossbars or the cover. The dealer priced the options at MSRP.
I checked Edmunds.com and a similarly equipped RAV4 is priced at $20,861.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kendall Toyota dealership offered internet pricing of 2% over invoice for any RAV4 model they had in stock (oddly, they didnt tell me whether they had the model I was looking for in their lot)
According to Edmunds.com, a similar RAV 4 (like the one above) goes at invoice for
$19,821 TMV. Tack on 2% on to that = $20,217.42
But the Big If with this dealership is whether they have an entry-level RAV4 not loaded w/ options...the internet salesguy also said they wouldn't budge from this pricing scheme (but who knows?)
I am wondering what my next step should be.
Can I renegotiate w/ these internet sales guys? Email them the Edmunds.com pricing for my area? Plus insist not paying MSRP for option packages?
How does this work after getting these price quotes?
Any insight would be helpful! Especially any comments from South Florida buyers.
with all standard equipment plus: tonneau cover, roof rack, aluminum wheels, side airbags, running lights, and floor mats
MSRP : $22,289
Internet Price*: $20,908
Deal or No deal?
I believe all rav's had the roof rack and 50 state emissions that I looked at. I was pricing base 4x4 v4 at under 21k. I wanted side curtin airbags so I paid a little more. I'm up north tho.

I know I got an awesome deal, and the people at the dealership were amazing...I think that I was in the right place at the right time, it was the middle of the week, looked like a slow day, and the delivery truck was unloading. I had my TMV from Edmunds, and negotiated like a pro...even got the first oil change free.
Thanks
It is much below the invoice.
I got the same ( Minus the JBL) and paid $1200 over what you paid..! I had searched the internet and edmunds and I had gotten the deal at $490 over invoice...I am just wondering about your deal since the invoice itself would be over or almost 26K. I negotiated at 26K+ paid about 2200 In taxes and fees ( 8.75% tax).
Where are you located?
GY Curtain & Side Airbags
DR Roof Rack
CF Carpet Floor/Cargo Mat Set
CD Tonneau Cover
AA 17" Styled Steel Wheel
RL Daytime Running Lights
EF Rear Bumper Applique
and Portfolio Extended 6 Yr/75K warranty
MSRP without the Extended warranty is $23,764, with Edmunds invoice of $21,453.
Paid $23,284 total after all taxes, registration, and fees.
Price of the car is $19,744. This include $400 college grad rebate and dealer fees. So final cost to me is $19,344, about $2,000 under invoice. I fall for the extended warranty offer at $1,500.
I have to say that I don't particularly like Toyota interior though, I think Honda do a much better job on the interior of their cars.
I can pay off the loan after 4 months, so I plan to transfer most of the balance to my credit card with 0% APR on my first bill, and then pay off everything on my 4th bill.
Warranty cost quite a bit. We did have few problems with the 03 Honda Accord we got few months after it was introduced. Consider this Rav4 is also the early production lot, I guess I am paying for a peace of mind.
