Thanks in advance.

From the Tacoma Forum a couple years ago, I got www.toyotapart.com
It's a dealership in Michigan. The prices beat the dealers around here by 20% at least. Some over that.
Second, and this from the Forums, and car magazines;
weathertech.com or mats.com
The mats on this last site look real nice, and they cover more carpet/floor area than OEM.
I got it for $100 over invoice and since i graduated last year from college i got the $400 for financing with toyota. I live in MA if your wondering.
I think i got a great deal... no?
They have all kinds of all-season mats & cargo liner/tray.
Have a few questions maybe someone can answer.
First of all today I went with my daughter who is wanting to buy a Rav4-she has specifics. She was wanting a 2007 4x4 6cl base. The thing is we had kind of of looked on the internet and could not locate that model at least in our area. She had talk to the dealer last week and they told her they could get it and in Black as she wanted. Though when we got there today they basically started the sales 101 and also informed her that they could probably not find the 2007 and she would be stupid not to get the 2008 since it was only about 1200 more. I did not realize this till later. Bottom line they offered her about 2400 for her civic and only came about 1000 off the 26,000 for the 2008. She has not yet got it because that was more than what she had planned and was considering the lease also. I won't even go into how discussed I was with their sales approach and we are in Louisville, Kentucky.
My question is should she not be able to get a 2007 for a lot less than the 2008-if it can be found? I don't think they wanted to look but rather sell a 2008. She had last week tried cars direct and they only had that dealer contact her (they are the biggest one in the city). I did find a Toyota site that you can go in and look up by state but you have to go on each individual dealers site and look. Is their not a site that you can put what you want and it comes up where it is. She would just as soon have the 2007 and needs to keep her payment down as much as possible. Any suggestions?

You can key in your zip code on toyota.com to see dealers in your area - in my area (19038) about 30 or so come up and you can search most dealer websites for their inventory.
I just leased a 4wd 4 cylnder limted (see lease questions blog for post).
Anyway, a 2007 should be cheaper than a 2008 (in your post you say a 2008 was $1,200 more). I communicated with about 8 dealers via email. Best advice - if you find a dealer that has a car that you want - go to that dealer - they will give you a better price than someone who has to trade. We ended up driving an hour from our house to get the best price.
Good luck - and stick to your guns!

There is a big difference between edmunds Invoice and Dealer invoice . Is that normal ?
What do you think of adding Leather to this from the dealer . How much should it cost adding leather package from the dealer
The tax and license should be AFTER the down payment and trade in, right? Also this was just done today and they will not even try to order the car till Monday but suppose she wanted to back out of it and shop somewhere else, are the obligated to give her deposit back or would she have to stop payment on the check? I mean I know their is a 3 day period but since she actually hasn't gotten it yet but has wrote the deposit check, does this obligate her?
place that shows the MSRP and Invoice price for the 08 Rav4's?

Cause the one she is interested in says
MSRP $24,535 Invoice $22,325
This is for the 2008 RAV4 Base 6cl and 4x4.
The dealer told her that the MSRP was 26000 something
and and told her they would only come down to 25,500.
This is without any add on's.

Is that a good deal or can they do better?
Also, it seems there are not much differences between 2007 and 2008 model, except some security alarm added in 2008. I am wondering whether it worth to buy a 2008 model. Thanks.
We are being told that the base model's can not be ordered.
That too late for 2007 and the Toyota is only currently making so many 2008's and sending them to dealers-being told they have no way of knowing which they will get. They say they can order from other dealers within a certain range but that usually Toyota does not send just the base model's out to dealers even on the Limited.
Reason is she was wanting either the 07 or 08 with a 6cl 4x4 and preferably in black. They say they have found one and it is a 08 but it is not the base price since they have added other options to it already.
We were under the impression that a 2008 could be ordered as a base model and then add only what she wants but they are saying it cannot or that it would takes a long time even if it could be. I also went on Toyota.com and if you try to but in 6cl and base (though it says it on another page and edmunds) a prompt comes up and says must press limited.
Has any one ordered the base 2008 yet and added their own options?

2007 will be cheaper than the 2008 but thye make more commision on the 2008 so dont belive them when they say they are the same price.
Get written quotes to your e mail (5 -6) (dont talk about color now) and then take the lowest quote into your local dealer and tell him that you are on your way to the big city to buy the car in the quote and you really would like to support the local dealer but $2000 is $2000 dollars................
normally they will come down dramatically...........
now talk about color and options and remember the costs on the options is normally only 70-80% cost to the dealer so he has wiggle room.
Do all this before discussions on trade ins etc
Good Luck
We ordered a new 2008 Rav4 from a local dealer in NJ, we were told it would be a custom build which would 6-8 wks to deliver. Then we got a call yesterday that what we want is not available in this area, they want us to sign a waiver saying we'll take the car even though it will now take 3-4 months for delivery (or loose the deposit)
Does that sound right? 3-4 months for delivery?
If it helps any - we ordered a 2008 Limited Rav4, 4x4, third row, 6 disc changer, remote starter, sunroof. My husband negotiated this waay below MSRP even when considering options (he used consumer report's info).
(BTW, they told us that the Limited was not available in 2x4 in our region, so we had to get the 4x4)

Exterior color is Everglade Metallic and Interior color is Taupe. I almost got an Ash interior from another local dealer for the same price. Fortunately, before I placed deposit, I checked Darcars.com website and found the vechicle. I called them right away and they were willing to match the price of the other dealer.
Just wanna share with others who are looking for the same car. Rav4 Limited V6 AWD is still in very high demand. Pacific Blue and Everglade Metallic are both hard to find at this point. They get sold fast. So if you can find one, go ahead and get it right away.
One more thing. I called multiple local dealers and all of them claimed they could check all the vechicles coming to the DC Metro area from the computer. Nobody could find the car that I wanted. When I called Darcars yesterday, the salesperson told me he has the car coming in today. So it seems to me that it is not reliable to depend on dealers to look at the allocation from the computers.
Just got a similar 2007 base V4 4wd Rav4 with moonroof. The moonroof comes with it, thought I am not really a fan of it.
Other add-on options are
Roof rack
floor mat /cargo mat/ first aid kit
17" steel wheel
Tonneau cover
OTD price for me is 23700 including 400 college cash, the invoice price is around 22300 including destination. The amount I paid is ~100 over if the price were set at the invoice price recommended by edmunds.
Any adjustment on the purchase? I could have done better but was tired of bargaining.

The quote looks good. I am also interested in RAV4.
Need to know what is the fuel consumption of
2.4L I4 vs 3.5L V6
Please help.
I am thinking to buy 2.4L if the fuel consumption is good. Alternatively I am thiking Nissan Rogue! any comments?\
Dick Milham Toyota, although their prices are slightly above the lowest price is excellent. They will not try to force you into a sale like Westbury, they will not make you uncomfortable or resentful. Although I picked my car up from Atlantic Toyota, I still must commend Dick Milham Toyota on how they deal with their customers, especially the manager there.

??? You've gotta be kidding. The person who wrote this lives in SC. Depending on WHERE in SC, they very likely could be less than an hour's drive from NC or TN. All it would take is a few phone calls or e-mails to save the $600.
How absurd is it in this day and age where information is freely shared and distances of a hundred miles or so are no hassle at all to just eat $600 on a deal because of some archaic Toyota system?
Just another reason for me to go back to Honda!
$24K + TTL. Is that a good deal? Thanks!

I am not sure which area you are living. But in the East Coast, there are more and more 08 Rav4 selling close to Toyota's invoice (not Edmunds invoice).
When I was shopping for my car, several dealers were also trying to do a dealer swap to get the car I want since at that time, availability was limited. However, you should not be charged for anything. All dealers in my area are willing to do without extra charge, since I would have already paid the toll since the car would have more miles on it. Yes, they have to drive the car from the other dealer.
I would say move on to another dealer. This dealer doesn't look honest to me. They should be able to give you an idea the inventory situation of other dealerships from the computer, though not 100% accurate.

Did I get a decent deal?
daughter was looking for-they told her it would be available in 14 days but when she went out to the dealerships and settled on a price they then told her it was gone.
That another dealership had sold it and it was going to them.
She was then told about 2 week ago that it could be ordered but it might be 4 to 6 weeks. (She is wanting the Black 6cl 4x4). The thing is they did not require a deposit just told her they had preferenced it. But she has still not heard anything from them. I guy at another dealership that I emailed (didn't tell him about the 1st one) says he can order it and have it in 10 days.
The second dealership is in a busier area but don't know if he is just trying to get us there.
Is their a difference in the area or dealership on how fast they can get them?
Does 4 to 6 weeks not sound like a long time

The total MSRP is $23,115.
The dealer quoted me $20,500 plus all the fees on the spot without any negotiation. I don't know the invoice price. Is it a good deal or there's still lots of room? Should I wait util before Christmas when dealers are willing to make a deal before year end?
Thank you for taking time to look at this.

What dealer was this from? I live near there and buying very similar, except 4WD since i"m in southwest (Pittsburgh) PA (Snow and Rain). If I can get a quote, I can use it against the guys here.
