New York Toyota Car Dealers

Fine arguments, but where are you going to find a Camry with V4 engine? Never heard about such an animal.

If anything, small kids need a leather seat more than adults, as it is easier to clean. I was told that the 3rd row only comes with the Base 4WD model, so they can't install it on the Limited edition. I am not sure if this is something specific to the NY area, or whether Toyota just doesn't manufacturer a 3rd row on Limited. The second row can move back and forth, probably 6-10 inches with the 3rd row option.

I am looking for a Lease on either the 2011 or 2012 RAV4 and visited a dealer in the NY area. He stated that Toyota does not offer a 3rd row in a limited edition with Leather and that I would have to buy a base model and have the dealer install the leather seats. Here is what I am being offered - 4 WD Base Model 4 cylinder RAV4 with 3rd Row option Dealer installed Leather Seats Cap Cost: $26000 Money Factor: 0.00001 Residual Value: $15,411 Term: 36 Months $332 per month for 15k miles per year $319 for 12k miles per year. Even though this would be considered a 0 down deal, the dealer stated that I would have to pay the bank fee ($650 plus tax, so $695), NJ taxes for lease period ($836), first month's payment and the NJ registration fee, so I guess I would be putting down around $2000. The dealer told me that the invoice for the base model itself was $24k and with the 3rd row option it was more. The leather installation was another $2k and that they were making pretty much no money for this sale. I wasn't sure if that was accurate and wanted an opinion from an expert before finalizing anything. I was tempted to ask him to include the integrated bluetooth feature and offer the 2012 model instead for the above numbers. I qualify for the top credit tier. Please let me know what your suggestion on whether this is a good price or not. Thanks for your help.

I just purchased a 2011 Prius IV. In the CT region (and I think NY too) the current incentive is $750 cash or 0%. We took $750 cash. Here's what I got: Prius IV, base w/ MSRP $28,080. Price paid after $750 rebate: $25,228 +400 doc +TTL. That's appx. $2800 under MSRP. I used TrueCar.com to obtain pricing from several different zip codes in larger metro areas (NYC, Boston). I talked to the TrueCar dealer to be sure they actually had a car to sell that met my specifications (often they don't). I then called local dealers to see if any would match. I've tried this in the past with other vehicles and it never worked. I've always ended up traveling to the larger dealerships. But this time the local dealers were willing to work with us. The process was very smooth. I'm happy with the outcome. Hope this helps someone.

You're very welcome orangeman99. As kyfdx already mentioned, the money factor is the same for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year, but the residual value gets a 2% bump. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
