How Much Should I Pay: 2007 Toyota Rav4

July 16th, 2008

Question From Joy: Again from Joy-shops-on,

The goal: Very reliable snow vehicle, best gas mileage, with advantage side/front airbags and electronic
stability control at lowest price. Used is an option. Thank you again for keeping me motivated and feeling
supported, although weary.

The lowest level of ‘08 Subaru legacy with electronic stability control is 2.5ilimited w/vdc. MSRP 24.395.

What should I pay for a RAV4 2007 AWD Limited 2.4l 4cy. Nothing extra w/ 8000 miles?

I’d be buying this one from the original dealer although it has had one owner who suffered misfortune. The dealer purchased it back. (or so we are told) The test drive indicated a vehicle in very good condition. We have not asked for it to be certified since that costs more.

Hoping to purchase before the end of July

Joy

Queen of the Road: No worries, Joy. Finding a great deal can really buy up your time, but hard work always pays off. You also have the advantage as someone who’s buying an SUV with fuel prices being the way they are. Have you tried looking for private sellers? They almost always guarantee a better deal than dealership.

It doesn’t look like we’ve got that exact type of Subaru style deal in stock. Take a look at AutoBrag.com and you’ll see all the styles we carry.

As for the Rav4, I’ll give you wholesale prices at 8,000 miles so you’ll know the minimum and maximum amount you should be paying. For a 2007 Toyota Rav4 4WD 4C Limited with 8,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $19,100 (being in above average condition) to $18,500 (being in average condition) and $17,800 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

If you are buying from a dealer you should expect to pay +12%-14% more than wholesale.  A dealership’s estimated retail prices could range from $19.6k to $21k. If you are sure that you’ll be purchasing the Rav4, please get a Carfax report and bring a mechanic for a brief inspection of the car.

Let us know if you or any of your friends have any questions. Good Luck and tell your friends about our free service.

Follow Up Comment:  please price both the 2007 and 2008 as 4wd and sport edition, with a 4 cyl and 6 cyl for both the  2007 and 2008.

That should be  4 prices:

2007 4wd sport 4 cyl and

2007 4wd sport 6 cyl;

2008 4wd sport 4 cyl and

2008 4wd sport 6 cyl.

i am asking that the 2007 has less than 15k miles. if you need more info please let me know. thanks for your help.

Queen of the Road:  Hi Ken!  Alright!  Let’s get you some figures!  I’m going each car at 15,000 miles. When you find specific Rav4s with mileage under 15k, then just run it through our team of experts and we will help look for the fitting prices. Well go in order from what you typed.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find enough 2008 Rav4s are in our system to give an estimate. All I can tell you is that a 2008 Rav4 V6 Sport sold for $23,600 with 5,000 miles.

For a 2007 Toyota Rav4 4WD 4C Sport with 15,000 miles, prices range from $20,300 (being in above average condition) to $19,000 (being in average condition) and $17,800 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $19,500 to $22,300.

For a 2007 Toyota Rav4 4WD V6 Sport with 15,000 miles, prices range from $20,900 (being in above average condition) to $19,800 (being in average condition) and $18,600 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $20,400 to $23,000.

FYI, here’s the NEW 2008 Toyota Rav4 prices…

How Much Should I Pay: 2008/2007 Toyota Rav4

May 5th, 2008

Question From Ken: i am looking for a used rav4 with less than 15k miles, 2007, excellent condition. i would also consider a new 2008 rav4 sport model.

“There’s better things trying to catch up with you, than the things you’re chasing after.”

These products are so important that Everyone, Everywhere, should use them Everyday for the rest of their lives.

Queen of the Road: Hi Ken! Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Thank you for your kind words. AutoBrag was actually created out of the frustration of car shopping. It’s nice to know that a car consumer created AutoBrag for fellow car shoppers.

Did you want a 2WD or 4WD? V6 or 4C? Would the 2007 be base, Sport or Limited?




How Much Should I Sell: 2004 Chevrolet Corvette (Updated)

May 4th, 2008

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for the reply. The Corvette is a automatic Commemorative Edition.

Queen of the Road:  Hi, Alvin.

For a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Auto. with 4,600 miles, prices range from $34,100 (being in above average condition) to $31,500 (being in average condition) and $29,000 (being in below average condition).  Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $31,500 to $37,000. So, if you sold it yourself, you could sell for a range of $31,500 to $37,000.

Have you considered selling it yourself? It’s not as hard as it seems. Trading in your car may not guarantee you the figures above. Try taking it to Carmax or get an estimate from the dealership you plan to buy from. Then post an ad online. The work is minimal compared to the extra money you get in return.

How Much Should I Pay: 2007/2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Question From Alvin: I have a 2004 Corvette Convertible with about 4600 miles that I would like to trade for a 2007 or 2008 Toyota Prius or Camry Hybrid. What is the best deal possible that can be had?

Queen of the Road: Hi, Alvin. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do the car price researching for you. Is your corvette a 6Sp or Auto?

FYI, a Pre-Owned 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 10,000 miles, prices range from $24,300 (being in above average condition) to $22,900 (being in average condition) and $21,500 (being in below average condition).  Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $23,700 to $26,700.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many NEW 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrids in our system. Here’s what we have:

For a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT),

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $26,857.00
MSRP: $29,530.00
ePrice: $26,857.00
Savings: $2,673.00
% OFF MSRP: 9.05%
This deal is so-so. Not worth pursuing. Since the 2009s are out, all the 2007s are being rushed around because dealers are trying to make room new cars. 2008s are already considered old.

For a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $25,157.00
MSRP: $28,549.00
ePrice: $25,157.00
Savings: $3,392.00
% OFF MSRP: 11.88%
We gave this deal a thumbs up because of the 11.88% savings.

Here’s what to do with the prices:   Print out the blue link and take the sheet with you to your local Toyota dealerships as proof that the prices your asking for didn’t fall out of the sky. Ask to talk to the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Better yet, call and make an appointment to see him/her first. If they don’t believe you, ask to use one of their computers so they can see for themselves. It’s impossible for them to doubt your prices because you’re pulling up another Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. How can their website lie?

AutoBrag is a CA dealership. So we’re not exactly a random group of people throwing car prices out there. Expect them to doubt you at first because they may not want to deal with the fact that you’re killing their commission. If no one wants to work with you, that’s their loss. Go to another dealership.

How Much Should I Pay: 2007 Toyota Matrix

April 25th, 2008

 

Question:  Hi,

What do you think about -
2007 Toyota Matrix Sports Wagon 4D, 4 cyl, 1.8 l
Mileage - 18500
Transmission - Automatic
Air conditioning
Power Steering / Power Windows / Power Door Locks
Tilt wheel
AM / FM Stereo / Single Compact Disk
Dual Front Air Bags

The seller is asking $14500.

thanks.

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do the car price researching for you.

For a 2007 Toyota Matrix 2WD with 18,500 miles, prices range from $13,900 (being in above average condition) to $13,400 (being in average condition) and $12,900 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14.4k to $15.5k.

Have you seen any images of the vehicle? How does it look? What condition would you say its in? In comparison with wholesale prices, $14.5k is too high. Try and see if the seller will lower the price to wholesale figures. If they offer a good price and you’re ready to pounce, be sure to do plenty of research on the car’s background. Ask for all the maintenance papers, check out carfax, have a mechanic take a quick look, etc..

If it doesn’t work out and you or your friends find another car your interested in, don’t hesitate to ask us anytime about anything.
