Extra val package 1480.00
floor mats 199
Mudguard 99
Wheel Locks 81
Destination fee 800
28714
-814 savings
so adjusted price is now 27900
The weird thing is he gave me a sheet with the retail base price and dealer price. The math does not add up.....especially since on the receipt he has TDA 429, Gas 10.3, dealer holdback 521 and whsl Financial Reserve at 260.
The Final total with Tax, tags, and document/tire fee comes to $29869.75.
It just seems high to me, but it's been awhile since I purchased a car.
Any help is appreciated.

Toyota as a corporation is acting like a common criminal, they only admit to 20% of the truth.
If you are thinking of making a purchase remember these words Let The Buyer Beware.
The two-page document, sent to president of the company Katsuaki Watanabe in 2006, warned of systematic threats to car safety.
Damningly

Im very glad that my dealer happen to get me a Japanese Build, hopefully that means Im exempt from these recent major issues. Leave it to the corporate americans to cut corners and F*q things up..
It's funny in an article i read about Japan's corporate heads recently visitng US to discuss the issues and after being badgered aggresively by US interrogaters referencing a defective Prius, the [non-permissible content removed] Representative snapped "These are NOT Japanese cars! that is an american car! The parts are american and it is built in america" .. not exact quote but pretty much to that effect.
It's common everywhere they can get away with it...
On another note.. all Japanese assembled vehicle VINs start with a J!

Sorry I am a newbee here. These questions might seem dumb.
If he can beat your rate, that's great... but, how will you know if he is giving you competitive rate, if you haven't shopped, first?

If they qualify you for 0% APR, why not take it? It is basically free money. Take the cash you would have paid for the vehicle and invest. Even the simple savings accounts pay 1.5-2.0% APR these days, get a CD and lock in something like 3-4% and let Toyota foot the interest on the vehicle. Try Wall St. and you can potentially make the $20,000 into $40,000 in 5 years that it would take you to pay off the RAV.
it is base trim. I added the EVP.
In the end, I paid $27,785 (selling price, not including tax, fees, and junk) for a 2010 Toyota RAV4 Sport 4WD V6 equipped with LA, SP, BD, QX, TO, RM, CF, and B3. Didn't qualify for the graduate discount, but I did take advantage of the 0% APR for 60 months. :shades:
MSRP = $29,539 with sale price quote of $27,656.
In NC. Good deal or can I do better?
Thanks,

I've done a lot of research and visited a number of dealers, but this seems like a no-brainer?
Anyone have any thoughts?
1. We agreed on a price for the RAV4 which was $1900 below MSRP. I live in a small town with only one Toyota dealer and I am sure I could have done better in some other areas of the country.
2. I told them what I wanted for my trade in. They offered less but I held firm saying that I would sell it myself if they didn't want it at my price. They finally agreed with my price.
3. Lastly, I told them that I wanted to take advantage of the 0% financing. At this point they can hardly refuse as it is something offered by Toyota and not the dealer.
If they try to use any rebate or financing program offered by Toyota to jack up the price, they are just screwing you.
