I'm also looking for the best price on a 2009 Rav 4 V6 limited as follows:
Limited Extra Value Pkg 1 with Additional Options
Rav 4 5 piece Floor Mats
Mudguards
Hood protector
Cargo Tray
I have been reading and have a good idea about fair pricing. If anyone can be of help, it is appreciated. I live in N. NJ where there doesn't seem to be a 500.00 rebate. However, my Father lives in PA where there is a rebate so I might go there to buy. I'm all for whomever gives me the best price.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Is the QZ $1000 more than the QY and do you have the TO BC CFR MF AND WL options your price . If you have then all, and the invoice difference bewteen QZ and Qy according to Edmunds is $1000 then it is a fair price .
If not , then its not
$27290 Dealer's MSRP
$26,500 Out the Door Price (includes tax, ttl etc..)
It's the color that we want (Savannah Metallic - well we just don't want red, black and white... and it's hard to find colors other than that in GA), 0% APR financing for 36 months and paid $23678 in total. Everything went very smoothly and done within an hour!
Congrats on the RAV4! Could you provide more details on what options you got?
Enjoy the car!!
There is a Technical Service bulletin on these cars and I want to see if all the new ones feel like mine?
I am afraid that down the road I might have to have the steering column replaced as per T-SB0318-08.
Sorry for off topic
Thats EXACTLY the price I paid for my car $28,187 pre TTLD with the same stuff. YOU prolly got the QY package with the JBL Radio leather etc .
MY guy threw in wheel locks .
Can I ask a favor I am asking of all 2009 Limited V6 owners ?
I got my Rav V6 a month ago and I am concerned about a steering wheel knock/clunk issue on the older models, that did not get a recall, only a TSB so it may be present in the 2009s also.
When I am standing and turn my wheel extreme left or right I get a slight thump at the ends. Does your car do this also??
I am used to rear wheel drive cars and my 93 Benz is very smooth when I turn the wheel lock to lock. My wifes Front wheel drive Mazda has a power steering squeel when I turn wheel lock to lock , but the RAv has electronic power assist not hydraualic.
It is not a big deal at the moment (1000 ) miles , but I want to know if this is how all the new V6s feel .
Thanks in advance for taking the time to check !
P. S. the T-SB is 0318-08 if anyone encounters this issue
I have a clicking sound when I turn the wheel left, but I think it is because of the Alarm installer.
Just bought a Sport V6 for $500 under invoice (invoice before the rebate) in PA. Depending where your family is located, check out Fitzmall.
I'm looking for the following:
RAV 4 V6 Limited
Color: Blizzard Pearl
Interior: Ash
QY Package without Nav
Mats
Mudguards
Cargo Tray
Wheel Locks
I see that 2 people have gotten it for 28, 187.00. How much more should I pay for the premium color (Blizzard White)?
2009 Toyota RAV4
Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
QX Sport Extra Value Package
Sale Price: $23,600 (includes Destination Fee) + everything below = $25,898
NOT INCLUDED:
sales tax: 7%
etch fee $189
title $20 lineholder or $0 no lienholder
tags: $231 for 4 year registration [NJ Mandatory] or $24.50 to transfer plates
tire recycling fee: $7.50 [NJ Mandatory]
document fee $199
Thanks in advance.
In reality, it looks like he is a few hundred + $458 higher...
Focus on the total price... If you like his price at a number that is $500 lower than what he's quoted, tell him that's what it will take to close the deal. How he breaks it down is of no consequence.

Match Fitz price before you buy IMHO
Thanks for your help and encouragement!
I am in a different region (midwest) so I can't really buy the car from Fitzmall but I was wondering if Fitzmall's Interent prices are good deal. Has people are getting better deals than Fitzmall's Internet price?
Should I aim that price when i go to my local delear?
Did anyone buy from FitzMall?
Do they stick to their Internet price or you can bargain with them for couple of hundreds$$.
I live in the bay area and the out-the-door price I got is $31,210. Is this a fair deal?
I'm trying to close one soon before the taxes here go up in April 1st. I would appreciate a quick response.
Thanks.
Can you say where in PA you purchased your RAV 4? Dealer?
Thanks.
I have not purchased it yet and I live in CA. The dealer's name is Piercey Toyota.
1. Is is true I can only get v6 sport with run flats?
2. How much lower can I get this price down?
3. Anyone have a toyota dealership in NJ/PA area they recommend?
Thanks.
Thanks
I finally bought a V6 Sport 4wd from Leith Toyota in Raleigh, NC ... Its got the Sport Appearance package, towing prep package, floor mats, and the extra value package.
Paid 26,800 out the door. If anyone wants the salesperson please PM me.
The Run Flats come in the Sport Appearance package and almost all the V6 Sports have that package on the car.
If you want the Sport Appearance Package.......yes. If you don't, then you can get one without the run flats.
2. How much lower can I get this price down?
I recently bough a Sport V6 for $500 below invoice after the $500 rebate.
3. Anyone have a toyota dealership in NJ/PA area they recommend?
I price quoted several dealers in central PA and most came back a few hundred over invoice before negotiation and trade considerations.
Most, but not all:

Check out the various internet shopping sites as there are dealers that list individual inventory. I noticed several V6 Sports without the Appearance Package when I was shopping.
I keep checking this thread regularly and I see that people are usually getting their RAV4 about $500 under invoice price. I'm in the Portland, OR area and so far contacted 2 dealers and offered $500 under invoice and they basically reacted as I'm crazy or somewhat. My question for you is when you refer to invoice are you using the invoice that you see in edmunds.com? As expected dealers want me to pay also for their ads and other fees saying that they are part of the invoice....
I'm looking for a 2009 RAV4 Limited 4WD (2.5L 4cyl 4A) with QY Extra Value Package #1. MSRP is $28,460 and invoice $26,157. I offered something like $25.500 and so far no luck. It has been like a month and I don't see them coming back to me lowering their prices. Any ideas?
Tks
We tried for months to get to true invoice price and were unable to do it. Many times, we were given a "take it or leave it" price. Several times we countered and never got a reply. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience. We eventually purchased the RAV you described, but with backup camera and four or five other options we did not want (exhaust tips, door sill enhancements [!!], and whatever else). We were pretty specific in terms of what we wanted, including both interior and exterior color--no substitutions, so we eventually just took the best price we were able to negotiate, which was probably about $400 over invoice. I never added up the exact costs of the various extra options we didn't want, but I suspect they would have brought the invoice to about $26,600. Even at that, I think there were two more options (cargo net and something else) that were not even invoiced anywhere, so we got those for free. We paid $27,000--no doc fees, nothing else but license and title, which was something around $45.
If I had to do it again, I may well have have given up and gone with my second choice. My suggestions to you--and take them for what they may be worth from someone who was not real successful at the process--would be to stick to a price you are willing to pay, maybe invoice, $100 over, whatever it is. Then contact a couple dealers that seem like they actually want to sell you the car and talk to them or go in, in person, ready to finalize a deal--and ready to walk out, too.
I just checked my sticker, and the MSRP was $28,992 (after subtracting out the $2000 "discount" for the extra value package). Don't get me wrong, I totally love the car. Love the size, spaciousness of the interior, peppy engine, and more. At this time, I feel pretty ambivalent about whether I would ever buy a Toyota again, not because of the vehicle, but because of the arrogance of the company (perhaps) and the dealers--and I'm not even mentioning our local dealers in southern Oregon. Very happy with the car, though.
If I can share any more that might help, let me know. This was in January, and there were no rebates. We got the car we wanted for ski season, even though we paid $400-$500 more than we planned. Good luck.
Tks,
On Mar 30, I had purchased 2009 RAV4 base model 2WD, 4 cyl without the third row but with options FE (50 state emissions) and QV (base model Extra Value Package with Mud Guards); The OTD price is $22200. I am from NJ(7% tax rate) .
The last three car buying experiences we had ended well because our position was much stronger since we were able to say that if we got our price we would buy THAT day. I have found that the dealer works a lot harder to accomodate a buyer once they believe the buyer is serious. Dealers will not lower their guard (or prices) if they think you are going to get up at the end of the session and say you'll get back to them. The "buy today" approach makes for the most satisfactory car buying experience for both sides in our experience. This means you must be well prepared and know what exact packages the dealer is offering so you don't wind up negotiating for options that are not available. I would also recommend working with a more experienced sales person as they tend to be less worried about making their nut then in moving the car out the door.
Thanks for your reply. If assuming that RAV4 Base 4WD Model is $1000 higher than its FWD Model, I might overpay about $500.
Bought a 2009 RAV4 base model, FWD, 4cyl, base extra value package plus floor mats, $19735 plus tax (6%), tags ($287), and dealing processing fee ($100), OTD price $21292, which includes $500 rebates. Also got 4.9% APR for 60 months. It's in Maryland, though. Overall pleasant experience with the dealership, no arm-twisting & no pressure. Hope it helps.
