Question From Annabelle: How much should I pay for the 2009 Toyota Rav4 Base model fwd 2.5L 4 cyl? Would you recommend the 2008 Toyota Rav4 based on the price difference? Thank-You!
Queen of the Road: Hi Annabelle. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
The price you should pay for a Rav4 all depends on what the MSRP of the car is. If you find a Rav4 you like, send me the MSRP and I can calculate a good price. If you’d like to see more Rav4 deals, feel free to look through AutoBrag.com.
Overall, the 2008s have higher discounts than the 2009s, but no financial incentives. Whereas the 2009s have financial incentives. I would look into 2008s since they’re going for such good prices.
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2008 Rav4,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 11.23%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 15.15%
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Rav4,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 9.15%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 15.76%
If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP:
MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y
Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees
X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP
Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)There are 3 methods to obtain this deal:
Before you begin calling or visiting every dealership, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.
Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process.
Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
