      Nah that’s cap the hybrids are what’s hard to find. I would know cause I looked all over Georgia for the best rav4 deal and the regular ones were selling less than the hybrids which surprised me cause they were cheaper. I got my rav4 with a deal cause it was on the lot for 100 days iirc

    • @josealeguinea
      @josealeguinea 14 днів тому +6

      @@HaiRune probably because the RAV4 is for different demographic… People that buy RAV4 are looking for a god small suv with great gas mileage. On the other side, people that buy medium/large trucks/suv want the naturally aspirated v6/v8 reliability. That’s the trend I’ve seen ever since they changed the tundra. New tundras/tacomas are collecting dust in the dealerships. That’s what the future holds for the new 4Runner as well. Unless of course they drop the prices really hard.

    Scotty , I bought me a brand new Toyota Camry SE last year , with only 5000 miles the rear passenger side window started rattling , took it two times to the dealership for this problem , they said it was the weldings in the door that were improperly made, they fixed that problem , now at almost 13 000 miles I have my back glass and my driver window rattling , made an appointment and took the car to the dealership a few days ago , but I was told that they had too much customers that day and had to come back in a different day , Not happy at all with my Toyota , especially because this car almost costed 34 000 dollars , I wish I could post the last video with the rattling over here , good night. Update : Today 05/09/24 I brought the car to de Dealership , they told me they did some tests but they didn't find nothing strange , and then they were basically telling me that that' s a common thing for the recent Camrys designs , I ' m thinking to bring my car to a different Dealership , I uploaded the video of the rattling over here in my Channel for whoever wants to see it .

    Ok, first $129 is for 2023 bz4x. None are available. The deal for 2024 was not bad either: $159/mo, $1999 down. So, I went to the dealership, none were available. They had only more expensive ones for more money, obviously. Do not forget, that on top of 2k down you also have to pay tax+license+dealer fee etc, which in my case came up to almost 6k. Not a bad deal, ah?

      Check again, quick search shows $800 to $1,500. A basic 240V can be almost free if it’s already there for a dryer for instance.
      A 110V supply will only need an extension cord. With that you can charge 30-35 miles overnight, enough for most.

If Mexico offers Toyota a better bottom line building Tacomas, then the manufacturing goes to Mexico. It’s not rocket science, it’s nothing political, it’s just business.

They know they have a market for it. Similarly, when will they bring back a bigger volume Prius Prime similar to the V model from 2015? RAV4 Prime is NOT the answer to wanting a bigger Prius Prime. It's too bulky for not that much volume. Toyota is not listening to its customers.
