Re: RAV/4 Info

What are people paying for RAV4s?. I just had a dealer quote of $21,623
+ tax + license for a 2007 RAV4 (4 cylinder, 2WD). Includes following
options (none of which I want):

AA 17 " Styled Wheels
DR Roof Rack
CD Tonneau Cover
EF Read Door Applica

The price also includes a charge for TDA (Toyota Dealer Advertising).
The salesman says the dealer invoice, which includes TDA, is $20,873.
This is about $550 over what Edmunds.com says the invoice should be,
which the salesman claims is due to TDA.

Can anyone tell me if the quoted price of $21,623 is in the ballpark?

Thanks

The customer pays for everything.

I have never done a ballpark before.
