Hey all... first post here on the forum - long, long time lurker.
Traded in my 2012 Limited RAV4 w/ V6 on a 2015 Midnight Black/Redwood Limited T4R earlier last month. Dealer had the vehicle at about $44k (all weather mats & remote start - blah), got them down to about $40.5k plus some OEM running boards.
They also had, still have a Blizzard Pearl w/ Redwood and 3rd row. Couldn't fathom trying to shove someone in that third row!
Overall, happy with the purchase price as well as the trade value I got for my RAV4.
Will say, this is a completely different beast coming from the RAV4 (very, very car like) to the stiff truck feel of the T4R. I love it, the wife loves it, and the interior is a conversation starter.
Cheers!
I sold my 09 RAV4 Sport V6 last year for a 4Runner. It was a great little SUV, got 26 MPG and would scoot when needed!!!! Zero warranty claims in 5 years of ownership (only had to do the 2 recalls: rear control arm check, and accelerator software). Dealer tried to lowball me on the trade in by $3K, put it on Craigslist and got full price within 5 days.
Looks like we got about the same deal on the new ride. Mine was listed for $45K MSRP (15 Pearl LE 4WD, Running Boards, Mats, Exhaust Tip and Cross Bars) and I got it for $41K.
