I guess that makes the car price around $25,000 pre TTLD on a dealer invoice of $26590 , so thats about $1590 under invoice for a car that will be very soon 2 years old . I got close to $400 under invoice for a 2009 . I am quite the 2009 has a larger 2.5 Inline 4 versus the 2008 I personally think its too much . If I wanted the car I would ask for another $1500 off , because it will ... Read More...

For now, the RAV4 models sold in North America are produced in Toyota's Tahara, Aichi, Japan assembly plant. However, when Toyota's Woodstock, Ontario, Canada assembly plant comes online in 2008, models sold in North America will be assembled exclusively there. Did anyone know this / I was looking for VIN method of checking where and where cars are builtand ... Read More...

Ok I went to two dealerships today. Plaza Automall didnt have 2009 RAV4 V6 4WD QY TO CP BC (the same I am looking for in previous posts). You have to sign up and will take 6-8 weeks. You must go through internet quote because the salesperson I spoke in the dealership did not know anything. He said the 2008 is the same as 2009. What a joke. I also went to Bay Ridge Toyota, ...

Dealership or tire specialty store for tire care?

Written by: digs5446 on Jan 22, 2009 06:52 AM

I just bought a certified used 2008 Rav4 base FWD w/ 13.5K miles. I also got the extended comprehensive warranty that will give me another 6+ years, on top of the 7-year powertrain, and I plan to follow the factory maintenance religiously. I'm going to get all of my service done at the dealership, both for peace of mind and because it's a beautiful, huge, brand new ... Read More...

I own a 2007 CRV LX-AWD/ great car. Extremely reliable however boring to drive. I dare to say that the CRV is a Chick car and not a manly ride. The engine on the CRV is great on gas, I drive long island to nyc and I get about 21.5 on highway/ 19 on city driving. Inside the CRV, is great if you need room for a baby seat and groceries. The CRV engine hardly has any humf, afterall ... Read More...

Toyota RAV4 Paint and Body

Re: Oily stain on paint [sage3]

Written by: upstateny5 on Dec 30, 2008 07:13 AM

I have a 2008 Rav4 Limited with less than 3,500 miles and it has 2 spots on the rear bumper where the paint is worn down to the primer. There is really no indication that stones hit the car and the car was primarily garaged until now. I was not offered any deal for extra paint protection and probably would have said no since I have never had paint problems with my other ... Read More...

Re: what is the OTD of 09 RAV4 V4 basic model in DFW area? [tongshantang]

Written by: wayside1 on Dec 12, 2008 11:55 AM

I have no idea how Texas and the northeast compare. As for up-coming promotions... who knows. Toyota's web site shows $1000 rebates or 0% APR on 2008 models. With such a small rebate on the 2008's, it seems unlikely they will have rebates on the 2009's until the 2010's come out. Also, your area has higher delivery charges according to buyatoyota.com ("The Delivery, ... Read More...

Written by: got2getwheels on Dec 03, 2008 09:33 PM

If that's a 2008, then it must be after-market navigation, which is pretty costly. I wouldn't pay that much for a 2008. I've just bought a 2009 4WD V6 with JBL EVP and backup camera (camera is actually pretty lame) but no nav, no pinstripe, no Toyota security, no mudguards. I paid 28,000 +TTL but I am paying 3% for 36 mos. Read More...
