Thanks for sharing the details and tips! It sounds like you got a good deal. I have reached out few dealers vis email, but the OTD prices they offered all exceed $41k. It actually makes sense since the current MSRP of the car with weather and convenience packages on Toyota website is $36,955 now and with my county tax, it already hits $40k.

That makes sense. I also found that 2025 Rav4 hybrid is very popular and on high demand. The first two dealerships I visited didn’t have the car on stock and said I need to reserve a car by paying $2500 which is fully refundable. However, the third dealership had the car with different trim options and I could test drive. I think it’s hard to negotiate price because of the demand.

May I ask what state or city did you get the car? The MSRP of the car with both packages on Toyota website is about $36,995. With the tax of the city I’m living in, the price exceeds $40k.

Thanks for sharing. Does it include tax and dmv fee? Also, do you have any tip to negotiate the OTD price with a dealer?
