Question From Vicky: What kind of discounts should I be looking for on a 2008 – FWD -2×4 Rav 4 – basci model – MSRP $22824 – Dealer offered $21841 – don\’t think this is a great deal – do you?? This is with a factory rebate of $500. I am in New York State.
Queen of the Road: Hi Vicky! Welcome to our blog. Here’s a deal in comparison to the MSRP you stated…
The best deal so far is from Miller Toyota Scion in Manassas, VA.
For a 2008 Toyota RAV4 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A),
The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $19,838.00 (there’s a minor error. The webite lists the deal as $19,338) The following is the corrected calculations.
MSRP: $22,985.00
ePrice: $19,338.00
Savings: $3,647.00
% OFF MSRP: 15.86%
A Thumbs Up deal!
Finance Specials: 0.00%-4.90% APR up to 60 Months. Offer Expires: 9/30/2008
Consumer Cash Incentives: A Cash Back Incentive of $750 is being offered to the Consumer upon purchase. Offer Expires: 9/30/2008
Hmm… The dealer offered only $983 savings off MSRP. The rebate should be $750. That’s only a sad 4.3% off. Boo! Bad deal.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from.
