2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 good lease rates due to high resale value
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
5-speed automatic FWD		 Almost $5000 more than a comparably equipped Santa Fe. Depreciation will be better, but I tend to keep cars long term so upfront pricing matters to me.
2006 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Significantly higher price than comparable vehicles.
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
4-speed automatic FWD		 I have always thought that cars are way more expensive than they need to be. Toyota tends to be more expensive that most.

2009 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This car currently has the lowest price point for a mid size car with the electronic stability control, front, side and curtain front and rear air bags all standard. A 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 10 year 100,000 mile warranty too.

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 For all of the standard features on the SE, such as V6, fog lights, 17in wheels, ESC, and side airbags, there is no greater value out there. I feel like I own a $30K car for only $20K. After the rebate, I was out less than some base model cars.

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 3-$5000 cheaper then competitve offerings from Honda, Toyota and Nissan.
