According to Edmunds, the MSRP and the Invoice prices with selected options was; $23,674 and $21,453, The TMV, Others Paying: $22,519.
Originally I 'built' my Rav on the Toyota site and sent, requested and internet quote, with the dealer. The sent back their online quote as $22,798.
I asked to have the price down to $22,500 to make the deal.
I hope this is good.
What do others think?
:confuse:
Here in southern california, I m getting the out-the-door for RAV4 Sport 4x2 V6 - Flint Mica at $27000 (with manualfacture suggested options - pwr moonroof, side airbags, 6-cd changer, matts..), is it a good deal? I m thinking to get the price down to 26000 out-the-door.
anyone has ideas?
BTW, why V6-SUVs come out the factory have to have those manualfaturer suggested options? why dont we have just the
standard featured ones?
thx

leather, sunroof, side airbags, JBL, dealer installed Sirius Satellite Radio, which includes 9 mos. membership (I think this is "free" on all the models they sell, but I'm not 100% sure), floormats, tonneau cover, daytime running lights.
$28,200 plus tax & license
Only got $16,500 (below Blue Book) for 2004 Mazda RX-8 trade-in, but considering the problems we were having with that car, we were just happy to be rid of it!
Good buying experience...only dealt with one salesman the entire time we were there (about 4 hours).
Great selection of vehicles. Longo is the largest Toyota dealership in the U.S. (in terms of sheer physical size, I felt like I was in a Costco Warehouse)
The dealership had a host of amenities which made it seem more like a luxury car dealer than a Toyota dealer...in addition to a huge service department, the dealership houses a AAA office, Rent-a-Car Company (can't remember which one), Subway sandwich shop, computer room and a fully functioning Starbucks in the service waiting area.
Good luck
$25000? woow, I cannot img we can go that low? I have calculated everything out and I hardly see we really can go there.
22003 invoice
1710 additional options (invoice level)
2000 (sale tax here is 7.75% + license fee)
that would be 25713.
300 so that deals can make a living.
total $26000 is what I can imagine.
Can you share how you figure that number with us.
I will appreciate that very much.
yea, I want to go 25K too...
if you are talking about pre-tax prices, I think those are a litter too high.
which dealer you went to?
thx
a sale representative led me to a fleet department guy.
Knowing that i was asking for invoice level price for the car I want, he showed me their "invoice" price (which abviously is a sticker price) to me. And he pointed at "Manalfacture Suggested Retail Price .... $23,790" and told me that is their invoice. I told him that is M...S...R...P... not invoice. I dont know how the heck he can just make up a stupid lie like that. Even after I told him that is MSRP, he still insisted that is their invoice.
After I laughed at him and told him he is stupid (in my mind) and asked if I can use their internet access, so that I can show him the real invoice price, I logged directly onto emunds.com and quote him the invoice price. And he pointed at the TMV price to the right of invoice price, told me that is their invoice price... Again..can you believe that?
finally, we came to do a calculation based on the invoice price I gave him. He was playing with the calculator for a while trying to put 10% fees over the invoice price. I told him to put 23713*1.1, and he's like 24198 * 10 % +, and he got 58554320.4 ...
My experience with Power Toyota in my area - they are stupid liars.
Deerfield Fla. did the same thing with me. However they would not let me look at the internet saying no one was allowed because of Pornography. Man, I can't believe how stupid I was. I asked the finance manager if this was really invoice and what I would see if I looked it up on Edmunds...he said yes, I believed him....Duh!!!!

I was just given a deal on a 2006 Rav4 Sport 2WD with the
following options istalled.
RL-Daytime running lights
EJ-JBL 6 disc cd changer
GY- Side/Head Curtain Airbags
SR-Power Moonroof
CD-Rear Tonneau cover
OTD price including all taxes/fees was $25000.00
Do you think this is a good price? I have not pulled the trigger yet. Let me Know :confuse:

I think 'sport' is better suited for a lower vehicle than an SUV type.
I hope I got a good price.
Also does anyone know if there is some kind or 'return' period if not completely satisfied with the purchase? I think Chrysler offers a 30 day return policy. Is there some kind of such policy specifically in NJ?
Thanks
My bottom line $26500 OTD, but if I can get $26000, that would be my luckiest day.
thx, and sorry to hear that u gotts deal with those dumb-svckers.
My understanding is that there's a difference between a "located" car and a "swapped" car. If a dealership locates a car for you elsewhere, it apparently loses its holdback; I recently bought a RAV4 and was told at one dealership that they'd have to add $500 to their price (which was $200 BELOW invoice) to "locate" a specific color for me at another dealer. However, if they were to "swap" cars, my understanding is that they would still retain the holdback.
In any event, I wouldn't buy a 2006 for anything OVER invoice. JMHO
Seems like the gas mileage difference isn't that great but here we are with gas going out of sight too. Also, I seem to see more 4 cyl. in the Limited (Iowa) than I do the V6.
Anyone have convincing points for me? No, I don't tow anything, just want to make sure I can pass someone easily on the highway with 4 people, luggage, and the AC on.
Thanks.
This is my first 'suv' and I think power is better served for a lower center of gravity type of vehicle unless you are hauling lots, which I don't.
I'm also thinking that I would rather save the $$ and go with the 4cyl and wait a couple of years for them to make better and improved hybrids or better fuel efficient cars.
I just wish more Subarus had some of the safety features of the Rav such as, stability control and traction control. I also like the size of 'wagons' which are lower than an suv type of vehicle.
From what I've read, there isn't that much difference in gas mileage between the 4 and 6 but you will pay a few grand up front.
In any case, the 4 cyl was good for me for now and I will wait a couple of years to see what's next on the horizon.
good luck

I'd rather not $pring for the extra bucking buck$ to have more power for mostly round-town driving.
Would I take it if given for the same price as the 4cyl, you betcha ya. I recently had a 250hp Legacy GT pony and yup, I sure did like that power under my foot. When it drove well, it was great. And I think the longer I had it, it would have gotten me into $ome ticket problems.
I wanted a reasonably safe, dependable, relatively fuel efficient vehicle that didn't cost too much until they improve on the power of hybrids.
I would have gotten another Subaru Outback or Forester but they don't offer stability or traction control other than in their B9 Tribeca or top-o-the-line Outback. I did like the fact that IIHS gives gold pick status to the Subrus. And just recently, I heard that the Rav 4 is now a good pick as well.
After punching in the options on Edmunds, it came up with, $23,674, $21,543, and $22,519, for the MSRP, Invoice and TMV/What Others Are Paying.
Did I get a decent deal or not. I read that some wouldn't pay anything or little over Invoice.
Was $22,500 good or did I pay too much?
thanks
:confuse:
I got an email from Honda today that they are announcing the new CR-V September 1. I will probably have to wait and see what the is unless I stumble across a killer deal or something.

I have bought mine for $24,300 (Out the Door, inclusive of all taxes and registration etc)SAME MODEL RAV4 SPORT 4X4 fully loaded with all options like,
Moon Roof
6-Disc Player
Side Curtain Air Bags
Carpet Mats
Tanoue cover and poles
etc.
How much did your dealer quote?
I was actually given for $800 less than Invoice including the accessories.
OUTSTANDING!!!! I'll reiterate that no one should be paying invoice or above for the 2006 models. If your dealer refuses to negotiate lower, I'd wait for the 2007s.

One of the So cal. dealers offered me a new RAV4 Limited 4X4 V6 with the options LA,SR,GY,EJ,CF,RL for $29000 cost to the door.
Is it a good deal or not?
Thanks
Other good dealers in east:carmax,lustine and darcar.
Also, go to the Toyota site and do a build and buy using zip 34423. You can see all the RAV4s in or coming in to the southeast region on that site. Usually it ranges from 550 to 1200 cars. They are a little more expensive but have cars. Actually I bet you can find one in CA area if you take your time and email lots of dealers. You can find them all on the Toyota site for various zip codes.
Good luck
Base V6, AWD vehicle #4433A $23,735
Options: TH, GY, DR, CF, TO, RL $2109
Delivery fee $605
Service Fee $129
I paid $24,200. Dealer thru in free oil changes form life and 10 yr. 100,000 miles warranty on everything.
Sure, I can wait for the 2007 but how substantially different would they be and how much more would it cost. I doubt they'd get to $500 over for a long time and they would start for thousand more. Would that be an accurate assumption?
I'm over a barrel. I don't have this model at other dealers to use as leverage. I think he's being straight but given my personality, I'll probably pass, take my chances, see what the new CR-V is, etc.
