That is normal. That's why I thought I'd point out to nikhilxp64 what I paid in California. The Truecar prices when I was shopping were exactly the same as the numbers he saw. It makes sense that dealerships are discounting their early stock because they have been sitting there longer. It's supply and demand.

Im still waiting on any white or steel metallic to come in with at least a March production date... Still nothing. May just have to bite the bullet and get one and prepare for the inevitable AC and Radio problems.
BTW, this is for the daughter... But I like them so much that Ill probably get one next year, but I still luv my 2012 Rav4 limited 6 banger.
Attached is the most recent offer out the door. 7% tax rate here, no trade amount figured in yet, but they do know there will be one..

I found a triple digit S/N in a dealers inventory here. But why would they discount older S/Ns? How many consumers are savvy enough to know to check the S/N from the VIN and then also care about that?

Also is the discount purely for the fact that it's older? Or also because it may not have fixes that went into the assembly line later?

I know you can get the number it was in the production & the year, but also the month?

$899 for Dealer Paperwork? Is that legal??? Otherwise, it's a very good deal. From what I've seen, and it depends on your state's tax, $43,000 out the door (no accessories) seems to be a strong purchase price.

Ya know what, I dont care what they list what at what price, as long as MY bottom line is good. They can make the doc fees 5 times as much, as long as that same final price is there out the door.

dark green Passport ?

Yes, very dark green. There are about 3-4 of them within 50 miles of me in Houston area. Even when I searched online auto pricing sites, they don't show a green as a color option.
When I test drove it last week, it was so dirty from dealers new building construction, sales guy called it black. After I parked in the sun, we saw the dark metallic green color come thru.
Are they that rare? It's not as nice as the Outbacks Touring green. But it's different than all the light/dark grey autos I own/owned.

Have yet to see that color. Nice.
