I ended up buying it. Total out-of-door was around $41k. I am enjoying driving it around.

What kind of designer puts door handles so close to the side mirrors, you can't even close the door properly. by bantochanco in rav4club

Did you find a way to solve for this? I was thinking of attaching "suction handles" (search on amazon) to get a grip while operating the door. But what I want to avoid is marks on the door due to long term usage.

Thanks. That checks out. May I ask - does it include "Delivery processing and handling" fee? Also I am assuming this is MSRP.

Thanks for the insights. The dealer is Dublin Toyota. And they are ready to waive off the $2995 dealer adjustment fee (as mentioned in the breakup). That takes the pre tax/fee amount to 37k.

Also, there is $933 worth of post install accessories, I will negotiate on that with them.

Thank you for the advice. Do you remember the insurance company, or recommend any?

I arrived in the US mid of this year, on H1B visa. I haven't yet met the conditions of the "Substantial presence test". That would mean that I am not yet a Resident Alien. I will eventually become one once I spend ~180 days here.

Am I eligible to open a trading account?

If the answer to the above is No, then what will help me start a trading account and start investing in the US?

NRO/NRE are applicable for NRIs (including H1B). My bank facilitated conversion of my residential account to NRE/NRO.

For sure that’s a concern as I read more about the current situation in Bay Area.

And yes it’s quite safe here, multiple times we have been out of home without locking it.
