The Biggest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $25,343.00

How do you apply these prices?

The best price we have found is from Ourisman Fairfax Toyota in Fairfax, VA, you can print out all the blue links and take them to your local Toyota dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in Florida should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi There. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

To best help you with prices for the 2008 Toyota RAV4 we will need more information. It is a 4 Cylinder or V6? 2WD or 4WD? Base, Sport or Limited?

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to our blog. I can get you some Highlander wholesale prices.

For a 2005 Toyota Highlander 2WD V6 Limited with 55,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $13,500 (being in above average condition) to $12,400 (being in average condition) and $11,400 (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 $12,800 to $15,100. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

What you can do when you see a particular model is to compare MSRP with the MSRP deals in www.AutoBrag.com. Or you can simply run it by us and well look to find a deal in comparison to that model. You can also calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP - Invoice Price = X / MSRP = Y (move the decimal point over two and that’s the percentage you’re saving. Compare the savings to AutoBrag’s 2009 Camry discount percentages…

If you’d like to use one of the deals above…

How do I use these deals at my local dealerships? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen or any Sales Rep., head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Here’s a good car buying article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process. Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

So in comparison to the deals above, you can potentially be saving much more. If you’d like to look at the other Corolla deals, feel free to look through www.AutoBrag.com. Here’s how you can utilize these in San Diego.

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.

If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.

If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.

If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.

The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

How do I use these deals in San Diego? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about.

Question From JanNesha: I am looking towards buying my first car and i was just wondering how much should i put down

Queen of the Road: Hi JanNesha. Welcome to our blog! I’d love to help you save money on your first car. Buying your first car is always exciting. It’s an experience everyone always remembers. So let’s make sure you get a great deal.

Did you pick out a car yet? If so, I’ll need all the info. on that car so that I can look up the wholesale price range. There are many factors that can determine if the car will be expensive or less expensive. Sedan or SUV, New or Used, 2WD or 4WD, etc.. If you’re on a budget, I suggest buying a used car but made within a decade. Sites I recommend to search is Craiglist and AutoTrader.

How much you should put down is partially determined by your financial situation.  Historically speaking, interest rates are very low but having bad debt is not a good idea.  What we can tell you is:

1) Don’t buy more car than you can afford.
2) Shop around for the best financing deals.  Check with your local credit union because their rates are usually very good.  Don’t worry if you are not a member because joining is a cinch.
3) Buy the car you want but remember the first point above.  However, don’t ever let a car salesman talk you into buying something you didn’t want in the first place.  The car buying experience should not be like pulling teeth.
4) Think total car price and NOT monthly payments.  Saving some bucks every month but having a loan stretched out for an extra year or two is NOT worth it.

If you don’t mind giving us more specifics on your situation we can better assess your situation.

Since this is your first car buying experience, here are some articles I recommend you glance through to get an idea of what you need.
