Queen of the Road: Hi Richard. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, the car price authority!

Keep in mind that the price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the Rav4 you’re looking at. If you see a one online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll calculate a Selling Price. To see the complete list of deals, average and maximum discount off MSRP and Cash & Finance Specials, go to www.AutoBrag.com.

According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2010 Rav4,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 6.80%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 9.09%

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.)

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.

Consumer Cash Incentives: A Cash Back Rebate of $400 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase.  $400 Military Bonus Cash is available to customers with current active duty status in the U.S. Military (Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, or active Reserve). Please see your dealer for details. Offer Expires: 3/31/2010

A Cash Back Rebate of $1,000 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase.  College Bonus Cash offer is available to customers who have graduated from an accredited 4-yr college, university, or registered nursing program (or will graduate within the next 6 months), graduated from an accredited 2-yr college, or currently enrolled/have graduated from graduate program.
