Got what I thought was a very good deal and below invoice on a sport V6 from Burt toyota, total deal worked out on internet with a smidge of phone work at the end. Drove 250 miles, and past 2 much closer toyota dealers to buy at Burt Toyota for the best price by far. Another dealer was a bit lower but came across as shady and they had terrible customer reviews regarding ethics, so I went with Burt for a few bucks more. No reason to waste your time in the dealership to negotiate. You can get dealer ratings for denver area dealers at http://www.dealerrater.com/directory/Colorado/Toyota/
A couple real eye openers in there.
Best bet, IMO just directly request a price quote from each dealer's website. That mostly generated what I was looking for--e-mail price quote. Just ignore to ones asking you to 'come on in'.
Know the pricing data and e-mail numerous dealers directly and hold your line at something just below invoice and see if you get your price. You'll know your best deal when you see it after a couple rounds via e-mail with 5 or more dealers. One or more will want the deal much more than all the rest.
The salesguy also told me there were no 2008 Rav4's coming out, but I've read here and other places that there are.
Below is the quote...
EXT/INT CLR 0070 WHITE PEARL/ FA10 ASH CLTH
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
FE 50-ST EMIS
EJ AM/FM STER/CAS/IN-DSH 6CD CHGR
PC SPEC PNT
RL DAYTIME RUN LTS
SR PWR TILT/SLIDE MOONRF
TH 3RD RW ST
TO TOW PREP PKG
DK PREF OWNERS PORTFOLIO
Z2 PREF ACC PKG
Price: $27,763.00 + TAX + TAGS
Is this a good deal. Any input appreciated
Thx
These are the specs:
2007 Toyota RAV4 V6 FWD(2WD)
Mileage : 6000 (Single owner)
Limited Edition with Sunroof
State: Illinois
Since I don't have much experience with automobiles, I am at loss in determining if this is a good price. Could you please provide some input.
Any help is highly appreciated.
The dealer is at Houston, TX.
Is this a good deal? :surprise:
Thanks!
Is it a good/fair/bad/worst deal. Appreciate if you can rate it.

I am looking for the simailar RAV4, Please let me know where did you buy this car?
Thanks
Mike
p.s. Read in rav4 forums that the 2008s are on the dock in Portland so dealing might start getting a little easier.
What price should I try to negotiate for?
I am trying to get internet quotes from 6 dealerships right now. Also, for anyone who is getting internet quotes, I advice you to sign up for grandcentral.com. It is a phone filter. It gives you a new phone number and when people call that number it gets forwarded to your landline or cellphone. But the really cool thing is that when they call you, you can either answer the phone or listen in on the voicemail. It's like having a secretary.
Also, Can someone advise how important/useful is to get Extended Warranty 7years/75 K and maintenance package 4 years 55 K if it is at 1000 each.
Thanks
Thanks
One of the dealerships I sent out for an internet quote is DCH Toyota. I think we must be in the same area. Did they give you a quote over email or did you walk in?
Also, you mentioned your total was $26,100 which was $250 over invoice. Yet looking at the edmunds invoice with the options you mentioned, it should have come out to $25,350. Did you get some other options or was $26,100 including taxes and registration?
I don't know if I can wait another two weeks. If I do how much of a price reduction will I get? Based on your comments my target price right now is $25,300.
How did you come up the $25,350? Correct me if I am wrong.
Following is the invoice $:
Base: 24,132
Moon roof: 720
CF( mats): 126
Tow : 128
Day Running light: 32
Destination: 685
Total: $25,823
Thanks

About Extender Warranty and maintenance package. I had them on my last car (Honda). To me it is total waste of money.

I do get $25,823 with the moon roof added. Without the moon roof I am now getting $25,103. I swore it was $25,350 before. All these options and pricing is getting me confused.
Oh because I wanted to pay $200 over invoice. So I want to pay $25,100 + $200 invoice for a Rav4 v6 limited 4WD with tow prep , DRL, and carpets mats (NO moon roof).
That is correct, you and me are on the same page now.
Like you, only options I wanted are TOW and carpets. But seems to me all Limted V6 4x4 always come with moon root and JBL options. Do you have the same issue as I do?
Please let me know your searching results.
Thanks
rsun1
Thanks.
The other options I have is wheel locks and mud guards. Those are $89 and $65 (MSRP price) respectively. So Invoice would be roughly 25950 with all options and accessories. I might have paid 150 more than invoice.
Thanks.
Thanks
Their price is cheapest, buy one then service by my nearest Toy. dealer.
I saw from www.toyota.com Chicago dealers have ...
Grossinger Toy (Chicago), Grossinger Toy North (Lincolnwood) put on paper ad. * 07 Rav4 4x4 Sport $19,995 can't see details on find prints
Thomas Toy (Joliet) put on paper ad. * 07 Rav4 4 cyl. 4x2 Base Auto $19,988 (stock T4167) SOLD - no more in stock.
The Carmax store in Kenosa, Wisconsin also offers about the same prices however the Carmax store is a longer drive from my house.
Good luck!
I recommend contacting as many dealerships as possible via the internet and only deal with the internet or sales manager so you can bypass the salesperson. Also know the invoice price as some salespersons will lie about it.
Model: 2007 RAV4 with v6, Front Wheel Drive
Options: 3d row seat + JBL AM/FM 6 CD changer audio+ Tow prep + Fabric seats
was $25,900 OTD (excluding license and taxes). This is close to $1500 discounted from MSRP and $900 above the invoice price.
Please let me know if this best/fair/worst quote.
Please help me to decide.
thanks,

1. 2008 RAV4 Limited with 3.5 L + V6, Everglade exterior, Fabric seats
2. Options: 3rd row seat + JBL 6 CD changer + Tow prep
I compared dealer quote with 2008 RAV4 KBB price and 2007 RAV4 Edmunds price (Edmunds's does not have 2008 RAV4 on their site yet). I have heard not much price difference between 2007 and 2008 models, may be couple of hundreds
KBB-invoice(2008) : $25295
Edmunds-invoice(2007): $25214
Dealer-invoice(2008) : $25800
I understand I can't do a straight compare with Edmunds as it is 2007 price, but would like to know why there is difference between KBB and the dealer.
I got best quote for $26200 (excluding tax, license fee and documentation fee). This is dealer-invoice + $400, but kbb-invoice + approx $900.
Please let me know if this best/fair/worst quote and help me to decide.
BTW, do any one know what is difference between 2007 and 2008 RAV4 models?
thanks,
rvm
What do you guys think about this offer?
2007 Rav 4, V6 4x2 Sport, everything except for NAV

So far the best price I have gotten without having to step foot into a dealership in writing has been Conicelli.

I'm ready to go - just looking for someone to give me a deal!
I don't think I tried Champion Toyota yet.
