Price of the Toyota RAV4: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Price was high, dealer did not offer much of a discount or was willing to work with me on my trade-in
2011 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A base RAV4 is quite inexpensive. Fully optioned, the price can balloon by a third.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 No incentives
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 V6 more. Not a fair comparison.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 A bit more than the crv, didnt want to wait 3 monthes for a custom built one from toyo corp since brother works there.
2007 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Too pricey compared to a Honda.
2007 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6

2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 The vehicle is somewhat expensive, but the value is high because it offers alot for that money.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Little more expensive than some competitors and no great financing rates either. I guess since the car is popular they know people will pay the extra.
2006 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4
