V6 Base, 4x4, tonneau, floor mats, roof rack, side airbags, 5 sp auto, + aftermarket heated seats (being installed as I write). Sticker price without heated seats 26,400. Heated seats cost about $650. My price $27,000 even, includes tax, title, delivery, license, and a full tank of gas. That beat everyone else in the West Michigan area by about $600. I'm happy.
I found this forum after searching the internet for Rav4s as I just made a purchase myself and so far, my wife and I love the vehicle (all of 100 miles now, 10 to start from, the vehicle has only been a member of my family for 3 days).
After reading the posts, I feel we got a good deal on it as well. Barcelona Red Limited 4cyl 4x4, moonroof, roof rack, JBL 6 disc changer, all the airbags, dual climate control, carpet floormats/cargo area, rear cover, cargo net, the two poles with the netting (hammock thing), pretty much all the options except for leather, remote start and third row seat and of course the v-6.
MSRP was stickered at 27,809, out the door at 25,000(includes all tax, title, registration fees, etc totaled up to $1700). So I got the vehicle down to about $23,300 I did argue with the saleman about the delivery fee and he knocked it off the vehicle price. I told him I wasn't going to pay for a delivery fee if I was taking the vehicle right off the lot. Also got free state inspections for 5 years on the vehicle and the dealership offers a lifetime warranty on their vehicles as long as you have the service done at the dealership. I was scheptical about the liftime warranty and worried that it would cost $100 for an oil change, but they charge $26 for an oil change (cheaper than Jiffy Lube). SO I think I got a good deal on it. It took a lot of tough talking and me and the wife actually got up and left the dealership to walk toward the car twice and they chased us down in the parking lot and invited us back in. This was at Lustine Toyota in Woodbridge, Virginia.
The car is very nice to drive and ride in. I'm 6'1 and fit great in any seat. The back is very roomy and when I sit there, I have a good 6 inches between my knees and the seat in front of me. It is the right height, not too tall to get in (great for my vertically challenged 5' tall wife). She is very comfortable driving it as she test drove some other small SUVs and she didn't sit well at all in it and couldn't see well.
My folks used to have a GMC Envoy that I thought rode very well, the Rav4, being small, rides just as comfortably. I spent some time in a Jeep Liberty and there is no comparison to the Rav4 either in terms of interior room and smooth ride. The Liberty rode like a tank compaired to the Rav4.
I am very happy with my Rav4 and would certainly make the purchase again. I was a little worried that the 4cyl would be weak but it puts out as much HP as my 4.3 liter V-6 in my GMC Sonoma. Not planning on towing anything, so I am sure the 4 cyl will be fine for the driving that we do.
I did finance the vehicle through Toyota as I am currently saving for a downpayment of a home within 5 years and didn't want to use much of my savings for the vehicle. I did put down a 5k payment. I told the dealer at the start that I was not going to pay more than 400 a month so it worked out well. I will probably pay it off in three years though as toyota's interest rate is not exactly low (6.9%), but it's nice to know that if I can't make a huge payment one month (such as Christmas time), I am still in good shape.
Very happy with the price, vehicle, dealership.
CD Cargo Area Tonneau Cover with net and poles $140.00
DR Black roof rails and crossbars $220.00

The car is being held by ($500-refundable deposit to dealer) deposit at the Gulf State Toyota distributing center and will be shipped n/c to Ron Carter dealership. Leather seats will be installed by dealership by their contracted uphosltery company.
I had a really hard time researching the individual dealerships inventory one at a time on-line (in-stock/available/color/style/options etc...), so approached buying this vehicle with a secured deposit from their "port" inventory. My salesman locked a car in for me before the options were added on. This is a really good tip for perspective buyers because you get first crack at their regional inventory before "port" adds on any undesired options. Just ask your salesman about the "port" inventory and you will find many more vehicles to chose from, basically stripped and waiting for your personal choices. Very simple and very personalized to your specific tastes. Cars arrive at "port" almost on a daily basis and I was told I would get delivery in 4 days, not a long wait. So, is this price competitive? Ron Carter in Alvin Texas is 15 miles from the Houston area. Good luck shopping!
Looking for a white/taupe base V6, 4WD, with tow prep. Local dealer has one in stock and is wiling to sell at invoice + $95 service fee.

They aren't charging him for those items.. He agreed to pay a certain amount over their invoice, and it is... what it is..
Every manufacturer's invoice price includes those items, they just don't break it down like Toyota does... That stated, the TDA advertising will vary by region..
Honda/Nissan etc. have holdback built into their invoice prices, as well... they just don't break it out..

That said, how does the price sound? I'm in WI. I looked through the forums, but I could not find any 'price paid' for a base V6 outfitted this way.
Ended up buying from Toyota of Escondido (North County San Diego). Prince wasn't the issue, availability of the car was. Very few V6 Limited's available.
Color is Everglade Green
Ash Leather Interior
JBL soundsystem
Moon Roof
Daytime running lights
etc.
MSRP was $28,900, paid $27,100
Got 6.5% 5 years through Toyota Finance.
I opted for the 6yr/100K extended warrenty. They asked $1,900. I ended up buying it from a different Toyota dealer for $1,230.
Happy so far. Fun car!
First, I wanted to thank the Edmunds organization/crew for keeping this gig going . I've purchased my first new Toyota online (via Edmunds) in 2004, and closed another 3 deals based on the same experience (helped out family) .
Now,it's time to get another a car for myself, as my girlfriend is taking over mine. Hence, I'm back in the game.
Does anyone have any experience with Southern California (San Diego...specifically) prices?
Looking to get the following:
RAV4 Base Model, 4 cyl, AUTO, 4x2 w:
GY- curtain airbags
DR- roof rack
DJ- 6 CD changer
CF- carpet/mat set
Don't know if for this base model configuration Southern CALI forces only AW- 17inch wheels? and TH- third row seats? Does anyone know for sure? :confuse:
I'm ok w/ 16 inch wheels
Thank a bunch in advance for the your help.
Rav4 Base Model 4cyl, 4x2...Blue
GY- Curain & Side Airbags
WF- 17" Alloy wheels
DR- Roof Rack
DJ- 6 CD Changer
CF- Carpets/mats
DESTINATION charge (included)
-------------------
Total $21,000.00 (TTL not included).
Got to love that price of aprox $160 over invoice listed within Edmunds.
I will post my experience later this weekend. :shades:
Lastly, thanks much for your quick replies to my question. It seems that the information network is working around the clock on this site.
Regards & enjoy your Rav4s
Hours away from becoming a RAV4 owner.
So I was hoping someone on this board could advise me regarding price quotes for RAV 4's. I had one specced out by a car dealership for a Limited Edition 2.4 liter 4 cyclinder 4x4 with front and side airbags with a moonroof. The final internet quote was for 25,303 including destination charge. Excluding however tax title and doc fee's. Is this a good price for this model or am I being ripped off. I'm located in Jersey and buying this car from a local dealership. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can get the invoice price here at Edmond's
Do not pay anything like MSRP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I hope you find what you're looking for.
Good luck....
PS. I took my RAV4 for a drive today and got to say I love what I see so far.
Now I am in CA and price like that here is unheard of. What do you think?
4x4, Limited, 2.4L 4cyl, no moonroof and cloth seats for 22,500 + tax, tag, freight and processing fee. thanks.
Options include:
1. Carpet Mat Set (5 Pc)MSRP $215
2. Daytime Running Lights MSRP $40
3. Am/Fm 6-Disc In-Dash Cd Changer W/ MSRP $200
I offered $21,700 but he claims his invoice price is $21,900. So he faxed me his invoice with the following:
TAF = $371
TMF = $264
2% Holdback MSRP = $437
PIO Holdback = $15
1% Finance Reserve MSRP = $218
Is his price of $22,100 good for this RAV4? If not, what is a good price? Thanks in advance!

Want to get it done by end of this week. Pleas help. Any suggestions
I have a question about window etching is this standard? or is it option? and how much do they charge you for it?
I have a local dealer down to invoice + $250 on any color that I want (he'll trade for one for me w/o charge if I buy by Friday). Its a Base V6 4x4 ($26,357).
Fitzmall will do it for $200 over-but it is a drive from Pittsburgh.
Anyone think that I should hold out for better?
He is saying that production in Japan on Rav4 and Camry are backed-up...
Is this a typical / reasonable wait time (11-12 weeks?)
Please share your experinces
Thanks! :confuse:
Thanks, Katpol
I got a deal for $24,300 (includes all taxes and add ons and is the Out The Door Price) for a RAV4 Sport 4X4 with 4cyl.
The options includes the following.
1.MoonRoof
2.Side Airbags
3.6 CD Changer(not JBL though)
4.Taneouu cover
5.Mud guards
6.Carpet floors
7.Daytime running lights
8.Fog Lamps and standard equipment.
At Edmunds with all these options the total Invoice price is $23,482.00( not inclusive of taxes and doc fees).
If taxes and other fees are included its coming to $25090.
So the price is actually $800 less than the Invoice.
Is this a good deal? Can I go for it. I live in MI.
