Two months ago, my 2014…
Two months ago, my 2014 Collira was slammed from behind, and was a total lost. Insurance provided me seven day of rental car, a subcompact SUV. Never drive a SUV before, during the rental period, I begin to like compact SUV. With compact
SUV in mind, I went to Toyota dealer to check out Collira Cross and RAV 4 hybrid. The dealer has only one RAV4 hydride XLE in stock. For Collora Cross, one has to wait about 4 weeks, and can't not pre-order a car, ie, everyone can buy it when inventory becomes available. I tested drive RAV4, and love it because extra safety features, good acceleration, lumbar support, etc. During negotiation, the dealer asking price is MSRP plus dealer prep charge without discount. I browsed the dealer computer website before I sat down for negotiation, and remember this car has about $200 off sticker price. So, I asked agent, he went back to his boss, and gave me the advertised discount. I tried nickel and dime to lower price, but agent’s attitude looked impatient, saying if you don't like the price, I am OK. Without many choice, I finally paid the price they asking for. It is a seller’s market.
