Hi chenchun. I believe that you are in Toyota's Cincinnati region. In that part of the country, Toyota Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2008 RAV4 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00116 and 69%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. The problem is that TFS places ... Read More...

Hi All, I've been unexpectedly thrown into the new vehicle market courtesy of hurricane Ike. I just recently began looking at the RAV4. Just interested in the base 4-cyl fwd, as I'm trying to keep the price as close to $20K (or lower) as possible. I just received a quote of the following: VEHICLE: 2008 Toyota Rav4 2WD (4-cyl, Automatic) M.S.R.P $23,546.00 Internet ... Read More...

I just leased a 2008 base V6. Make sure you get the Gap Insurance included in the lease upfront- have them include it for free. They sprung it on me in the finance guy's office when I was signing the lease. It was the first I heard of it and that Toyota was the only company that didn't include it. Read More...

Re: Auto-Off Headlights '07 RAV4 [cbmorton]

Written by: dmcshaw on Sep 21, 2008 09:26 AM

I just bought a 2008 4WD Limited Rav4. I "stepped-down" from a 2002 Highlander Limited. I really miss the auto-on/off headlight feature and, since I saw the little bubble on the dash, assumed the Rav4 had it also. I am really bummed about it and understand it is offered in the Rav4 in Canada, but not US models. This makes no sense to me. Is there an after-market conversion ... Read More...

Hi Car_man. I am purchasing a 2008 Base V6 RAV4 from a dealer in Farmingtonhills, Michigan. The MSRP (including options) is $26,668, and they gave me $1,047 discount plus $500 rebeat. I did not pickup the car yet (next Tuesday), and I am thinking to switch to lease for 36 month/12000mi/year first. What is a reasonable lease payment with no down payment? What is ... Read More...

Re: UHH [cx7lover]

Written by: kdhspyder on Sep 17, 2008 09:54 PM

While it may be sporty the CX7 has a HUGE drawback.... Fuel Economy and the requirement to use Premium. In addition even though it's bigger in dimensions the use of the interior space is a waste. As to cost, with the same equipment ( Navi, leather/heated seats, sunroof, gauges, 440 wt JBL w/Bluetooth, wheels ) and better Fuel Economy and more room inside the RAV ... Read More...

Written by: Car_man on Sep 17, 2008 02:58 AM

Hi pauliedell. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the RAV that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing what this vehicle's selling price is in relation to its MSRP ...

Written by: bohdy on Sep 16, 2008 03:59 PM

Definitely not a reasonable deal! Reason: Toyota is not offering any incentives on the RAV4 in the greater NY and Connecticut areas. Come up to MA and you'll get a great deal. I believe residency restrictions apply, though. For a little more money you could be in a V-6 4Runner SR5. I believe the dealership you're working with could do better, but nothing I'd jump ...
