Buying in New Jersey. Thanks for your input.
I m really worried if this "4" position thing really hurt the engine or hopefully not at all. Please advice please.

Are these really optional items as the e-brochure suggests? I don't see any place in the "Price With Options" configurator on either Toyota's site or here on Edmunds where you can opt-in (or out) of them. Obviously if I buy the 4WD version, I wouldn't want these things left out.
Is there anyone in MA who got it at Invoice price or close to it? Is $200 to $400 above invoice a reasonable deal or can we get a better price using Costco Auto Program?
Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
If you you had got $2057-$200(Doc fee)=$1857 less than MSRP it is an excellent price.
By the way what was the edmunds invoice price?
It looks like it's over $300 less than invoice (but I'm not sure).

200-400 above invoice price (edmunds invoice). Dealers'
MSRP should not change but they add unnecessary 'fluff'
to jack up the MSRP.
I recommend to shop through AAA auto services, Costco Auto
Program or some other auto broker in your area who charge
fee only when you buy a car through them.
In my experience the auto broker and AAA auto services get
you a lot better OTD price than the Dealers directly would.
Costco Auto program is better than direct Dealers but not as good as AAA or auto brokers.
4x2 (4cyl) = 30 highway and 24 city
4x4 (4cyl) = 27 highway and 23 city
Otherwise the base has 16" wheels.
Not sure but the OD on the 17" tires may be the same as for the 16s possibly causing a harsher ride.
70 is 2000 RPM in 5th and much higher in 4th.
Enjoy the V6. I have the 2007 Sport V6

Our Texas RAV4s all seem to have the Gulf States $1K foo foo package and NONE of them have the JBL.
Why no JBL in Gulf States??
(( Oh Yeah, most of the Gulf States cars in the first shipments had heated mirrors- not usually needed in the South. The one bought in frigid Ohio, didn't have them. Go Figure!))
Options included:
Leather, moonroof, day lights, stereo upgrade, htd seats, auto dim mirror (also tow prep, carpet/cargo mats included).
$ seemed close to invoice based on edmunds and dealer told me that's a rock-bottom price, at about 1-200 above invoice. Any thoughts on this? Seemed like real good deal, but would like any thoughts.
Have you subsequently taken that car into your local dealership for scheduled maintenance and warranty service? If so, do you feel like that service department treated you like a second-rate customer compared to the people who purchased their cars there? Or does it seem like the service department treats all owners equally no matter where the car was purchased?
I just got a loaded 2007 RAV4 4x4 Ltd V6 with:
-heated leather seats
-Sirius
-Savannah Metallic (hard to get)
for $29,708.00
That's before processing fee, taxes and tags and $1500 bumper to bumper 6 yr/100,000 mile warranty.
Without the leather, it was $27,478.00.
We went to about 4-5 dealers (even in NJ) for the 2007 4x4 V6 RAV4 with 3rd row. The best we could get was $600 over invoice price ($25,447). I need to order it as we want the factory installed remote start which comes handy as I needed to warm up the car before shovelling the snow and putting the baby in the vehicle in the snowy winter.
What we order include
-2007 V6 4x4 base model
-roof rack
-factory installed remote start
-factory installed security system
-wheel locks
-17' 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheel
-Tow Prep
-3rd row seat
-DRL
The dealer in NJ told us they can do 1% over invoice and made us drive all the way there. Then they told me the sales who called me was gone and another sales said no way for 1% over invoice for a V6. He gave me $25799, I asked if he could go any lower and he said no. We walked away immediately and back to the first dealer who offer $25449.
The new SUV will be here in 4-6 weeks and I hope the snow comes late this year.
I opted to not have the 3rd row seating, got the alloy wheels, leather, Sirius and mine was $29700.
Don't they all come w/security? If not, what is Engine Immobilization?
Actually, just re-read yours and saw it is base model. Mine is not base. I went to the Toyota website and mine has whatever they call the most expensive package (Option E?) which was $3,230.
No leather, just cloth.
3rd row for emergency use only but becomes handy when needed.
This dealer was the only one who did call us back after the first visit or push us to buy the unwanted extra options.

There is so much hype about this vehicle on Consumer Reports etc right now that they just aren't sticking around for long.
My neighbor is a salesman at a Toyota dealer in the Los Angeles area and tells me their inventory sheets have shown 11 incoming V6 4x4s for over 2 weeks, but none have arrived yet and he's not sure when they will.
2007 4WD Sport model V-6
Invoice is 24,067
Edmunds TMV is 26,126
Dealer's offer is 23,871 + TTL+199 doc fees.
Any opinions? Thanks
I bought new Rav4 2007 base 4X2 and I believe got the good deal i.e. $19xxx. + tax. sticker price of the vehical was $22174. It means it had some extra accesories and invoice including extra was 20850.
1. They are scarce in So Cal.
2. Even if I find one, the best deal around here is $500 over Toyota invoice (which is a few hundred higher than Edmunds invoice)!
