I just purchase a Rav4 Prime SE 2 weeks ago through California Clean Cars for all program. I emailed all the dealers what I was looking for and I got lucky they were going to get the one I want in a week or two. Shopped around a bit and contacted them that I wanted to do the $500 deposit. It was a Super White Rav4 Prime SE with the moonroof package and all weather liners. It was $5k marked up also. They discounted it just enough so I can purchase it with the Clean Cars For All grant to $46k. After the grant and clean fuel reward discounts $11k, it wound up being $40k out the door fees taxes included.

It is really bad right now. I called one dealer that didn't charge a markup but they had a waitlist and they flat out told me they couldn't help me there is a wait list off 100+ people waiting for a Rav4 Prime. I heard the shortage is going to get a lot of worse so I am somewhat happy how it turned out I got the cat I was looking for in like a week of shopping. $5k markup is not too bad I have seen markups as high at $15k! Good luck all!
